- Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed' expression). - Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino). - Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key (reported by Werner Färber). - Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb). - Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans). - Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device.
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
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.
