Hi !
After having seen that there are several plug-ins computing the
recording length on their own and that being a very expensive task (in
respect of io and cpu) and also the same implementation needs to be
copied over and over again, i would like to request, that vdr is
storing the length of a recording and make it accessible to the
plug-ins. I would imagine, that some logic to store it in the info file
after/while generating/writing the index would be a good way.
Plug-ins which possibly could make use of that are:
* live
* extrecmenu
* restfulapi
I'm sure there are more of it.
Has someone allready thought of this ? Are there any plans to have that
or someone allready using a patch for this ?
Please correct me, if I am wrong, but I think vdr-1.7.20 has this
feature. Take a look at recording.h:
static int GetLength(const char *FileName, bool IsPesRecording = false);
///< Calculates the recording length (numer of frames) without
actually reading the index file.
///< Returns -1 in case of error.

André
