Hi all,

First let me descibe my setup:

I'm using VDR from http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental (vdr (1.7.16/1.7.16), 1.7.16-2~ctvdr1 - vdr-abi-1.7.16-multipatch)

I switched to vdr-experimental beginning of November 2010. I think the version I'm using now (above) is available only since last week (before it was 1.7.16- <something else>). I don't know what has changed and whether my problem persists with this version and I can't easily check any longer. However, I'm sure that the previous one was having the following problem:

Until recently I used 2 partitions for recordings:

/var/lib/video -> /var/lib/video.00 /var/lib/video.00 /var/lib/video.01

/var/lib/video.01 is what I called additional video-dir in the subject. VDR puts some files (.ts or .vdr respectively) into /var/lib/video.01 and creates symbolic links from /var/lib/video.00 .

I'm not sure whether this feature is added by multipatch or included in vanilla-vdr.

When now I merged the two video.0x directories onto a new partition I resolved the symbolic links with a small script and mv'd the corresponding files into the right place. When this was done I realized that there were still plenty of .ts and .vdr files which had no longer any reference in the original video.00- directory.

All the files that were left are files from recordings I deleted after switching to vdr-1.7.16 . Those were recordings from before and after switching to vdr-1.7.16 .

I hope what I'm writing is clear. If I'm finding the time I will take a look at the vdr-source from the package, but don't count on it...

best regards, -- Patrick
