- Using masks in EIT filtering to reduce the number of filters (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed handling Ca descriptors (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Now only those Ca descriptors are sent to a CAM that are actually understood by that CAM. - Re-enabled CAM communication during replay and on non-Ca channels. This requires a DVB driver with firmware version 2613 or later. - It is now possible to do simultaneous recording and replay with a single DVB card, even with encrypted channels. This requires the use of the Link Layer firmware, version 2613 or higher; the -icam firmware is still limited to live encrypted channels only. Finally we have time shift for encrypted channels on single card systems! - Enhanced detection of pending user I/O from CAMs to avoid sluggish reaction to remote control keypresses. - Implemented "pause live video". You can now press "Menu/Yellow" or "Pause" on your remote control while watching live video to start an instant recording of the current programme and immediately start replaying that recording.
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.
