Maybe, it's possible to turn a failure caused by a broken link into a
new feature? I'll try to explain what i mean:

I'm using the feature of vdr to have multiple video directories with
an internal hard disk (v0) mounted as video0 and an external usb hard
disk (v1) the I mount to video1. My benefit is that I have an overview
of all recordings stored an v0 and v1 (even if v1 is not mounted). But
since some of the recordings on v0 are linked to v1 and v1 is not
always mounted I have some broken links. It's looking like this:

$ pwd
/video0/From_Dusk_Till_Dawn/2004-04-03.00:40.51.99.rec
$ la
001.vdr -> /video1/From_Dusk_Till_Dawn/2004-04-03.00:40.51.99.rec/001.vdr
002.vdr -> /video1/From_Dusk_Till_Dawn/2004-04-03.00:40.51.99.rec/002.vdr
003.vdr -> /video1/From_Dusk_Till_Dawn/2004-04-03.00:40.51.99.rec/003.vdr
index.vdr
marks.vdr
resume.vdr
summary.vdr

Now the idea would be the following: If vdr finds a recording
containing a *.vdr file that links to another directory and which is
currently a broken link, vdr will display this recording in a
different color (or something similar).
