- Removed the '#define FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION', since it was wrong and the flag is now in the driver, anyway. - The full-featured DVB cards are now given the TS data directly for replay (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 driver to make it replay TS data). The patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_ts_replay__1.diff implements this change in the driver. The patch av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff mentioned in version 1.7.2 is still necessary to avoid audio and video glitches on some channels. - Added a typecast in cUnbufferedFile::Write() to avoid an error message when compiling on 64 bit systems. - Added some missing 'const' statements to cBitmap (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Fixed returning complete PES packets in cTsToPes::GetPes() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing Detach() in cTransfer::Activate() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added clearing the TS buffers in cDevice::Detach() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed incrementing the continuity counter in cPatPmtGenerator::GetPmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed removing deleted recordings in case there is a problem. Once a recording caused a problem with removing, no others were removed any more and an ongoing recording could fill up the disk and cause other recordings to be deleted automatically (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added "DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to Make.config.template (thanks to Johann Friedrichs for pointing this out). Plugin authors should add this line to their Makefile or Make.config if they use file access functions that need special versions for 64 bit offsets. - The new command line option -i can be used to set an "instance id", which will be used to distinguish recordings of the same broadcast made by different instances of VDR (suggested by Frank Schmirler). This replaces the use of the "resume id" that was introduced in version 1.7.3. - Added checking mutexCurrentAudioTrack to cDevice::PlayTs() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing this out). - Fixed handling the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Frank Schmirler - sorry I swapped two lines when adopting the original patch). - Checking the remaining packet length after processing the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePat() and cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Checking the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() only in 'payload start' packets (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Changed cPatPmtGenerator to make sure the PMT pid doesn't collide with any of the actual pids of the channel. - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsAudio() and made cDevice::PlayTsVideo() return 0 if PlayVideo() didn't play anything. - Added an 'int' typecast to calculations involving FramesPerSecond() to avoid compiler warnings (reported by Winfried Koehler). - Fixed detecting frames for pure audio recordings. - Fixed editing PES recordings. The frame type in the index.vdr file generated for the edited PES recording is set to 1 for I-frames and 2 for all others (P- and B-frames). The exact frame type doesn't matter for VDR, it only needs to know if it's an I-frame or not. - The PAT/PMT is now only processed if its version changes (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the maximum video file size (reported by Udo Richter). - Improved fast-forward/-rewind for audio recordings. The actual data is now sent to the output device, so that it can be replayed and thus cause the proper delay. For pure audio recordings the audio is no longer muted in fast-forward/-rewind mode, so that some orientation regarding the position within the recording is possible. There may still be some offset in the replay position displayed by the progress indicator when switching from fast-forward/-rewind to play mode, as well as in the current position during normal play mode. This is due to the various buffers between the player and the output device and will be addressed later. Note the new function cDevice::IsPlayingVideo(), which is used to inform the player whether there is video data in the currently replayed stream. If a derived cDevice class reimplements PlayTs() or PlayPes(), it also needs to make sure this new function works as expected.
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 CONTRIBUTORS file lists all the people who have contributed to the
development of VDR.

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
possibilities 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.
