------------------------------------------------
You can use the '-r' option to define a program or script that gets called
before and after a recording is performed.
before and after a recording is performed, and after an editing process
has finished.
The program will be called with one integer parameter that is "1" if this
is *before* the recording, and "0" if this is *after* the recording.
The program will be called with two string parameters. The first parameter
is one of
before if this is *before* a recording starts
after if this is *after* a recording has finished
edited if this is after a recording has been *edited*
and the second parameter contains the full name of the recording's
directory (which may not yet exists at that moment in the "before" case).
In the "edited" case it will be the name of the edited version.
Within this program you can do anything you would like to do before and/or
after a recording. However, the program must return as soon as possible,
because otherwise it will block further execution of VDR. Be expecially careful
to make sure the program returns before the watchdog timeout you may have set
up with the '-w' option!
after a recording or after an editing process. However, the program must return
as soon as possible, because otherwise it will block further execution of VDR.
Be especially careful to make sure the program returns before the watchdog
timeout you may have set up with the '-w' option! If the operation you want to
perform will take longer, you will have to run it as a background job.
An example script for use with the '-r' option could look like this:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
before)
echo "Before recording $2"
;;
after)
echo "After recording $2"
;;
edited)
echo "Edited recording $2"
;;
*)
echo "ERROR: unknown state: $1"
;;
