Another couple of things:
  • it chokes with channels with an & in the name (streamdev correctly escapes them with & )

    Code:
    Illegal character '&' in raw string "CHASSE & PECHE"
    Line:
    Position:
    Last 80 unconsumed characters:

  • I don't like to see individual vdr files (I know nothing about perl but I added something to mediaserv to show a single recording, I know even less about ruby though, so I won't do it)
  • not a problem with knots (maybe vlc, I don't know), but it's easily fooled if a recording changes aspect ratio, it seems it decides it based on the beginning of the recording. This somewhat spoils my recordings of the avengers on bbc4 (they're 4:3 but the preceding programme is 16:9)

Since it cannot parse channels.conf, I cannot say how it manages live-view.

Does it handle dvb subtitles either/or with live view/recordings?
