- Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume() bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks to Udo Richter). - The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2). - Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording, or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min. event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is "Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future. - Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter). - Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.
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.
