There will be a function to retrieve the 'aux' string from cRecordingInfo. However, I don't see what a skin (that doesn't know anything about what the actual content of that string means) could reasonably do with it. Sure, it could display it, ending up in something like Aux: 123blafaslhisomeinf456this789ismystring Meaning: the string could be *anything* (even non-printable characters). > Though there would be a little problem, if the channel on whicht the > recording was made, has changed one of the significant pids or isn't > available (delted) anymore. But that wouldn't be such a big problem IMHO. Well, that's always a problem. Klaus
