HI,

Sorry for the late review.

Useless test, psz_path cannot be NULL.

Same for psz_access (cannot be NULL).

 I think that p_marks can be NULL (in case of failure at least, as you call
Close() in Open().

 Is it possible to end up here with p_marks being NULL?

 I am not sure, but maybe using bsearch() would be simpler.

 I think a clean goto would reduce the duplication of code.

 It would be better to do as the file access does it (ie checking periodically).

 Are you sure using the text mode is needed ? If no, it would simplify things
a bit.

 It seems that getline is a GNU extension and if so, a check in configure will be
needed.
 Using stream_UrlNew+stream_ReadLine might be another way.

 Is it possible that some file are recorded using \r or \r\n, or it is always
a unique \n?

 isalpha takes an int, and so casting is useless.

Adding 'else' (here and later) would make the code easier to read.
Using a switch() is also a possibility.

 Using unsigned long doesn't help, either you need a 64 bits and so use int64_t
or an unsigned will be enough.

sizeof(str) instead of 50.

snprintf is better to avoid future mistake.

 Using a local variable holding line + 2 would simplify the above code.

 It might be better to move it inside the if().

 I don't think you should set b_menu. It is meant to be used when the
title is a special title used for menu (like on DVD).

It would probably be better to not use a cast (for precision).

Merging the if() will be simpler to read.

 You probably need INT64_C() for the constant.

 I don't know the VDR format, but are you sure that you can always try to read 8 bytes
in non TS mode? (otherwise some valid files may be rejected).
