Just an idea:
Wouldn't it improve performance to store the data
concerning recordings in a single flatfile?
What do you mean by "single flatfile"?
Single flatfile is meant to be a textfile -let's call it
'recordings.dat'- in which each line represents an existing recording.
This flatfile is updated every time VDR finishes a recording or deletes
a recording.
The advantage would be that you don't need to scan the
recordings-directory every time. You just parse the flatfile instead.
This is IMHO significant faster.
Ah, I see. I'm going to do it that way in 1.3, but not in an explicit
external file. VDR will cache the recordings internally and update that
cache whenever it adds or deletes a recording.
What about updating this file on demand to add/delete
self-deleted/created recordings?
