YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec does not solve the problem of multiple VDR instances recording the same show. This is a usual problem of multiple instances sharing a single /video dir. As we're talking about safety here, why not address it right now, once and for all ? If you do not have a unique identifier for each VDR instance yet, the only thing I can think of is "hostname" + "SVDRP port number" (this identifies both "single instance on many hosts", and "multiple instances on a single host"). -- NH _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
