- Fixed a second place where a message should be given when an instant recording is started (reported by Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Modified logging so that even on NPTL systems each line in the log file shows the individual thread's pid (based on a suggestion from Francois-Xavier Kowalski). - Fixed a problem with @plugin in keymacros.conf in case the named plugin is not loaded (reported by Franz Gangkofer). - Fixed a crash after executing the SVDRP command CLRE, caused by dangling 'schedule' pointers from cChannel objects (reported by Malte Schröder). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Improved NULL checking in strreplace(). - Fixed a crash in the Schedule menu with events that have no title (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now assigns a "No title" string to events that have no title. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Recordings are now only started if there is at least 300MB free disk space (suggested by Markus Hahn). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the cursor now automatically advances (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Polish OSD texts and the fontosd-iso8859-2.c file (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you really need it - it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card). - Switching channels with the Up/Down or Channel+/Channel- keys now works a lot faster when the repeat function kicks in, by not actually switching the channel every time, but rather only displaying the channel info and doing the final switch when the key is released. - The channel display is now updated _before_ the channel is switched. - Added a missing initialization of 'timeout' in the cDisplayChannel constructor. - Fixed detecting if there can be any useful further input when entering channel numbers (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Fixed handling the '0' key for switching between the last two channels (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
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.
