User-tracking has _absolutely no place_ in VDR what-so-ever!! It serves no purpose and if someone wants to be added to a user list somewhere, they can register themselves. If someone really thinks this is a brilliant idea, they can write a plugin to do it but it should have no chance becoming a part of VDR core. No offense but that's the worst idea I've heard by far. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
