- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the 'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions). - Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one). - Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas Schultz). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number, start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl). - Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL (suggested by Benjamin Harling). - Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen). - Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting this one). - Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds. - The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk usage (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
Video Disk Recorder ('VDR')
---------------------------
These files contain the source code of the "Video Disk Recorder",
which is based on the DVB driver of the LinuxTV project (http://linuxtv.org).
For details about the "Video Disk Recorder" project please
refer to http://www.cadsoft.de/vdr.
There is also a remote control unit described on those
Web pages, which can be used within this program.
Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to install
this program on your computer.
The MANUAL file describes how to operate the VDR.
The author can be contacted at kls@cadsoft.de.
Yet another "set-top-box"?
--------------------------
The "set-top-boxes" available from commercial companies all have
one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is
to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled
video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available
driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought).
The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the
possibilites necessary to perform timer controlled recording,
file management and even "on disk editing". The menus
of commercial set-top-boxes usually are a lot more fancy than
the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code
and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.
