Thanks for the fast feedback.

That site has a lot wma /w DRM protected files and a lot of link
leading to 404 errors.

My idea was to place a clip of vdr recording, i.e. the entires subdir
with the extension .rec in my recordings. This allows to test the

The .ts file alone would also do.

You are right: ideally, I need two clips: progressive and interlaced.
