So, now I´ve updated. It works as expected if I´m in a subdirectory, for
example /audio/Sting/ that´s great thank you.
But, ähm, there´s another thing. I think it would be good if vdr would
remember the position of the selection in the toplevel directory
(/audio/) too. I mean, if I want to hear music, I press:
MENU -> MP3 -> YELLOW than I select an entry [Sting] and press the RED
button. After a while I press BACK to stop playback and to select
another Album.
So, now I have to press YELLOW again and then I´m again at the top of
the list (/audio/). I think it would be better to be on the entry
[Sting] again, where I last left the Menu.

I hope this was not too confusing. If you don´t like this idea just
forget it, but it would be great if you´re going to implement this.

Thanks for the work done already!

I would like to do so, but I´m one of these lazy "endusers" with no
programming skills :-)
