what about a feature to integrate a second "primary directory" into vdr which is handled like video0 if you have more than one video partition. E.g. no symlinks pointing there but original files like the index.vdr summary.vdr, so you can move recordings there and play them directly without the need for creating symlinks in video0.
This may be one possibility.
I have a Perl tool called vdrmigrate which allows the complete migrationIf you need some web-space to provide the tools, let me know. I'm personally very interested in trying them out...
of one recording to a specific partition, or starting from the highest
secondary partition looking for enough space to keep the complete
recording. On migration always all files belonging together are moved to
the same partition and then automatically relinked into the primary
tree. I use vdrmigrate regularily for all cutted recordings. I have also a
second tool vdrcheck which checks the consistency of the whole video
tree and allows to relink lost files into the primary.
If there is any interest, I can provide this tools. They work for me
with my video directory setup. They have to be adapted to your own
setup. I cannot take any responsibility if something goes wrong and you
loose your recordings. ;-)
