Which string? From where?

Sorry, didn't.

My current workaround-idea looks like this:

I'm going to use a webserver to pulish the video-directory (with 
symlinks enabled in case of multiple video-directories).

A shell-script will parse video-directory cyclic (maybe every 5 minutes) 
doing something like "find ./ | grep -i 0??.vdr". This way I will get 
the path for all 0??.vdr files. After parsing them I'll write a 
playlists (maybe shoutcast - I think they allow MPEG2-format) for each 
recording with a name I can reconstruct in VDRADMIN. Then VDRADMIN will 
get a link for each recording in the recordings-menu to the 
corresponding playlist.
