Hi List

Tanks for all your answers.

 I have chased a little bit through the code of the VDR. The SVDRP interface
is really another Keyboard frontend. But here the keyboard is a socket. That
means that all the processing of the content of the socket is done character
by character through all the levels of the code. I have programmed such an
Keystroke recording/playback facility some years ago for a very large
application in the networkmanagment area for automatic testing and as you
can imagine, it was also not the fastest one (it runs for days), but it was
always better than to type in all the thousands of testcases.

So now I understand, that it is a question of how much information is sent
by TVTV. I will not limit the amount of the description for a movie because
I like to have it. Maybe some day Klaus has a slot free on his "weird things
to do list" to improve this interface a little bit. But I think it's not so
important for me now.

Kind regards and good night
Manfred
