I suggested some weeks ago to implement a config mechanism to define
which parts to secure. E.g. recording deletion. Then you have to enter a
pin-code defined in file called pin.vdr in the appropriate recordings
directory. Maybe you can define the recordings pin code with the timer.
or set one with shell commands afterwards.
