[vdr] Re: Feature idea: on the fly timers

[Mak Addikt <Mak_Addikt@yahoo.fr>]

Hi all

IMHO, another way to implement :

- an  external script (i'm thinking Perl) which monitor the log file and 
send  SVDRP command to record your favorite music video when it detects 
the search string (regexp).

Cheers
