- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Berglund). - Made the 'pic2mpg' script of the 'pictures' plugin work with uppercase filename extensions and relative paths (thanks to Stefan Wagner for reporting this one). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Johan Schuring). - Stripping control codes 0x86 and 0x87 from SI strings. - Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Fixed handling 3 and 4 byte UTF-8 symbols in Utf8CharGet() (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed a crash in cFreetypeFont::DrawText() if an unknown symbol is encountered (thanks to Tobias Grimm). Unknown symbols are replaced with a '?'. - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta and Jiri Dobry). - Updated the Turkish OSD texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen). - The 'plugins' target in the Makefile now returns an error exit code if one of the plugins failed to compile (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Rendering the non-breaking space symbol as a blank (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Changed the default character set for SI data from ISO6937 (as required by the DVB standard ETSI EN 300 468) to ISO-8859-9, in order to work around the stupidity of some providers, who actually use ISO-8859-9, but fail to correctly announce that.
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.
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
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.
