But yes, I did imply to give interessted users the possibilty to do an override, which VDR is princible in users personal VDR cloud or the other settings. Somewhere deep in the OSD ...

Something like: "This is my main vdr (priority 100), this vdr has priority 50 etc." I think this could be handled by every user and it can be easily configured via OSD. :) Lars. > - The principle becomes the central point of VDR operation > - Timers set on whether Client/Server VDR, is handled by the principle > centrally > - Recordings are also handled centrally on the principle, the clients > do have seemless access to it > - It doesn't matter if the clients do have their own disks > - But if needed principle can use this addional disk space on clients > and each client does also have seemless access > - DVB devices can be added and removed dynamically to each of the > VDRs, but principle stay responsible for all DVB devices within > network > - Plugins can be added/removed dynamically via OSD or a Web-Interface > - The VDR pack or rather the principle can be controlled/programmed by > a cloud service from all over the world. > - Setting up one of these VDRs may only be possible for experienced > user, but es soon as they're up and running, you're little children > could hanle them. > > Just my vision for a smart client/server VDR solution. > > Cheers > fnu _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
