Say I tried to record the same programme twice, once from DVB-T and once from DVB-S, can VDR manage that? As they have different ids they should appear as unrelated to one part of VDR, but as they have the same titles and times it might want to make the same filenames for both of them and clash. Or is that what the last digit just before the .rec part of the directory name is for? How would I be able to tell which is which in the OSD etc? Would they be ordered by adapter number?

The last number in a recording's directory name is the VDR instance (which is 0 by default and can be used in case several VDR instances use the same video directory). The second number from the right is the channel number. This allows recording otherwise identical timers.

I'm afraid there is no way to see this in the OSD.

I'm pretty sure that I have had identical recording names, just one was visible in the OSD. Deleted that one and, the other one automagically appeared in the OSD after it was updated.
VDR worked perfectly.

Which version of VDR are you using? The channel number as part of the recording directory name was introduced in version 1.7.3.

Hy,
i have this issue with version "1.7.16-24yavdr1". It happens when an auto timer records a show on SD & HD (ORF1 & ORF1 HD in my case). The Details for the Show are exactly the same, and it gets displayed only once in the recording list.
rb.

I just tried this by recording the same programme on "Das Erste HD" and "Das Erste", which gave me the directory structure
drwxr-xr-x 2 kls users 4096 Jun 4 14:46 Rote_Rosen/2012-06-04.14.10.5-0.rec drwxr-xr-x 2 kls users 4096 Jun 4 14:47 Rote_Rosen/2012-06-04.14.10.6-0.rec
Both recordings show up in the "Recordings" list and can be replayed just fine.
Can you reproduce your problem with plain vanilla VDR 1.7.28?
Klaus
