WARNING:
========
This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================
If all goes well, there should be no more functional or API changes
before the final version 2.0.0. There will just be a few more fixes.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Marc Perrudin, Bernard Jaulini and Peter
Münster).
- Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).
- Fixed moving editing marks, so that they don't get overwritten with old values
through an update of the marks file.
- Removed an invalid line from channels.conf.terr (reported by Lars Hanisch).
- Fixed an unexpected k_Repeat key event after a k_Release in lirc.c.
- Fixed permissions of po/sr_SR.po (reported by Dominic Evans).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed using "Pause" and "Slow motion" near the end of a recording (replay stopped
a few seconds after the end of the recording file has been reached).
- Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there
are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric
characters (reported by Andre Weidemann).
- Fixed the description of the OSD drawing functions DrawEllipse() (the values -5...-8
for the Quadrants parameter are not implemented).
- Made cOsd::DestroyPixmap() "NULL proof".
- Now deleting any previously allocated pixmaps in cOsd::SetAreas().
- Added demos of the DrawEllipse() and DrawSlope() function to the 'osddemo'
plugin (press '1' or '2', respectively).
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- The timeout for trying to switch to a valid programme is now reset immediately once
a programme has been found.
- No longer checking for EOPNOTSUPP in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() to avoid breaking
this function in case the driver suddenly decides to return a different errno value
if an operation is not supported.
- Moved the definition of TIMERMACRO_TITLE and TIMERMACRO_EPISODE from recording.h to
config.h and using them to initialize Setup.NameInstantRecord (avoids having the same
information in two places).
- Fixed the return value of cOsdProvider::StoreImage() in case there is no OSD provider.
- Fixed a crash in cMenuEditChanItem::Set() when entering a channel number that
doesn't exist (reported by Mikael Hübsch).
- Fixed displaying pending timers in "alert" mode in the LCARS skin.
- Added missing $(LDFLAGS) to the Makefile of the dvbhddevice plugin (thanks to Ville
Skyttä).
- Fixed some spellings in PLUGINS.html and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added '-p' to the cp command in the install-conf target of the Makefile (thanks to
Ville Skyttä).
- Added missing 'const' to cDevice::HasProgramme() and cDevice::HasLock().
- Fixed determining the priority of the primary device in case it is neither replaying
nor receiving a live channel (thanks to Matthias Senzel for reporting a problem with
switching back to live viewing after replay in a setup with device bonding).
- Removed all \return and \param tags from comment lines marked with "///<" for Doxygen.
There was only a rather small number of these, and I would probably always forget to
put them in place when writing future comments, so I decided to drop them entirely.
- Added Doxyfile.filter to have special characters escaped that would otherwise be
dropped by Doxygen (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Using 'cat' instead of 'cp' to copy the Doxyfile to avoid problems in case Doxyfile
is write protected.
- Updated the Doxyfile with a newer version of Doxygen.
- Turned off following symlinks in the Doxyfile.
- Removed trailing whitespace.
- Expanded tabs in PLUGINS/src/dvbhddevice/setup.c.
- Some formatting fixes.
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.tvdr.de.
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@tvdr.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.
