- Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how to detect these). - Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti). - Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E' (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff). - Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem. - VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time. This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks). - When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than one VPS timer is about to start. - Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the margin. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the timer's transponder. - Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer Mode for live tv isn't interrupted. - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected, respectively. - The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous" menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil). - When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or --version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter). - Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (reported by Joachim Wilke).
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
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.
