The VDR instance ID (commandline option -i) should become part of the
recordings ID. If the instance ID is not 0, we would then get large numbers
(InstanceID << n | recordingNumber) or we need a separator ("%d-%d"). The
instance ID is part of the filename. So for recordings of a friend, you should
use a dedicated instance ID in the filename (something users probably will
forget).
An other problem to solve: old recordings will need an ID, too. And VDR will
not always be able to update info.vdr (e.g. recording on a DVD).
Cheers,
Frank
