Which should be really simple indeed. Look at the "status" sample plugin
that VDR provides, it should be pretty easy to adapt so that you keep
track of what currently is being recorded and where. Displaying the info
to the user may require a bit more thinking (at least for me it does), but
should be fairly easy too.
