Problem with ExternalRecorder Plugin

[Captain-DJ]

Hello!

The ExternalRecorder Plugin create an .mpg file, how I can switch that off?

Test1.exe converts the EPG Data to the External Recording Programm
notepad.exe is for testing, the correct software is called later
ende.bat close the Recording Software.

The Plugin search für the .mpg File, but the name of the file is different !
So ExternalRecorderPlugin dont find it and restard the recording ... Test1.exe and Notepad.exe called again !

I dont understand why the Plugin makes an MPG File, i only want to start the Programms in this order at the EPG time.

Greetings

Captain

one response would be enough...

but i made ist !
I wrote an batch file that copy an dummy.mpg (6MB) to the Record directory with the recording filename.

The Plugin "see" this file and its ok !

At the end, this file will be deleted and the new recording.mpg will rename to the new filename...
