Not yet - its returning the number of frames - to have one calculation, length in seconds would be required (Ok, its available as well). Also it reads the index directly (if i'm not mistaken, i can barely read C), which would then be read x-times , where x is the number of plugins using it ( + vdr ? I'm not sure of it ). I would think that in recording.h as public member of class cRecordingInfo would make sense. In my understanding the recordings information are held in memory after reading it with ScanVideoDir, this should be part of that information in memory (not reading file from disk for this separately). _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
