Hello,
I use vdr-1.3.44, Debian Etch, Kernel 2.6.15.5.
I programmed with epgsearch a timer which results in this path on harddisk:
/video1.0/Information/Gesellschaft/Ripleys_unglaubliche_Welt/Der_Fallschirm-S
tunt_^B_Mode_aus_Luftpolster-Folie_^B_Der_verbotene_Maden-K?se_^B_Die_Selfmad
e-Insel_^B_Die_K?rbis-Kombo_^B_Pfeil_im_Kopf_^B_Die_l?ngs+ten_Fingern?gel_der
_Welt_^B_Der_Mann_ohne_Gesicht/2006-03-24.18.20.40.99.rec
Because the first disk is full, the 001.vdr goes to video1.1.
VDR creates this link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 vdr1 vdr 288 2006-03-24 18:39 001.vdr ->
/video1.1/Information/Gesellschaft/Ripleys_unglaubliche_Welt/Der_Fallschirm-St
unt_?_Mode_aus_Luftpolster-Folie_?_Der_verbotene_Maden-K?se_?_Die_Selfmade-Ins
el_?_Die_K?rbis-Kombo_?_Pfeil_im_Kopf_?_Die_l?ngsten_Fingern?gel_der_Welt_?_De
r_Mann_ohne_Gesicht/20
As you can see, the link is broken, the target is truncated to 256 Bytes.
An other recording, the same problem.

The link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 vdr1 vdr 279 2006-03-26 16:58 001.vdr ->
/video1.1/Information/Wissen/W_wie_Wissen/Themen:_Sommerzeit_-_Die_gestohlene_

Even on shell I cannot create links longer than 256 Bytes.
I think:
PATH_MAX is here 4096, but SYMLINK_MAX is not defined and so:
{SYMLINK_MAX}
Maximum number of bytes in a symbolic link.
Minimum Acceptable Value: {_POSIX_SYMLINK_MAX}
{_POSIX_SYMLINK_MAX}
The number of bytes in a symbolic link.
Value: 255
VDR should not create pathes longer 254 Byte, or what do you think?
/video<...>.rec/???.vdr
<--- max 255 ---------->
cu,
Mike
