Hi Klaus,
In my testing, (VDR 2.20) the command vdr --genindex fails on an
audio-only recording from a radio station for example.
The index file is generated during a recording, but if deleted, vdr
itself cannot regenerate it, nor can the command line command. Kodi for
example tries to regenerate

I'd wrongly assumed that it picked up the environment of the VDR already
