Tvheadend

Hello,

2 years ago a directory feature for recordings was added to tvheadend:
https://tvheadend.org/issues/2123

But this feature does not support any placeholders same as what postprocessor command supports. For example:

Support format strings:
Format    Description    Example value
%f    Full path to recording    /home/user/Videos/News.mkv
%b    Basename of recording    News.mkv
%c    Channel name    BBC world
%C    Who created this recording    user
%t    Program title    News
%d    Program description    News and stories...
%e    Error message    Aborted by user
%S    Start time stamp of recording, UNIX epoch    1224421200
%E    Stop time stamp of recording, UNIX epoch    1224426600

The reason I ask for this is because I have title regexes which match same programs which exist in multiple channels. It makes little sense to put all the recordings of same show from different channels into same directory. Because they may be in different seasons etc. So I would like to set a directory like '%c/Program Name' but this is not supported.

1- It should be easy to implement support for at least few reasonable placeholders, such as %c, %d, %t, %C . It looks like just a matter of copy/paste in dvr_rec.c ?

2- An alternative would be in Recording configuration at Subdirectory Options, there can be an option to use autorec name as subdirectory. So one can use a custom directory for all recordings which match the autorec. Then one can combine Make Subdirectories Per Channel and autorec entry name to accomplish same result.

Thanks!
