VDR now by default assumes that the video directory is one big disk. + If you absolutely need to use several separate disks to store recordings, you can + write a plugin that uses the new cVideoDirectory API to implement the necessary + functionality (see PLUGINS.html, section "The video directory"). You can copy the + respective code from previous versions of videodir.c. + IMPORTANT NOTE: If you write a plugin that implements a distributed video directory, + =============== be sure to make cVideoDirectory::Rename() follow symbolic links! + This functionality was never implemented in VDR and it therefore + used a workaround in cutter.c. See the section marked with + // XXX this can be removed once RenameVideoFile() follows symlinks + in previous versions of cutter.c. + + CloseVideoFile() is obsolete and has been removed. + + The functions OpenVideoFile(), RenameVideoFile(), RemoveVideoFile(), VideoFileSpaceAvailable(), + VideoDiskSpace(), RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories(), IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem() and + PrefixVideoFileName() are now static members of cVideoDirectory and need to be called + with the proper prefix. + + The name of the video directory is now available through cVideoDirectory::Name(). + The former global variable VideoDirectory is still there for backwards compatibility, + but will be removed in a future version. Comment out the line + #define DEPRECATED_VIDEODIR + in videodir.h and recompile your plugins to see whether your code will work without + this variable. If you get a compile error, replace it with cVideoDirectory::Name(). |
