Yes, I think that this solves my problem concerning recording LED, but what
about replay LED?. I believe you are rreferring to vdr-led-0.2.tar.gz.

Is there similar way like Recording(const cDevice *Device, const char *Name)
to determine, weather the replay mode is on or is a replay just Record and a
Pause in a sequence, then i would need to determine, weather recording is
active and if it is, is a replay mode active aswell on same recording and
perhaps the replay may be on different card the recorrding... make any
sense? This might be difficult :(.

I think i go along with recording led at the moment.

Thanks, Jan.
