- Updated 'S110W' in 'sources.conf'. - Adjusted the 'runvdr' script so that the user can fill in the functions to detect, load and unload the necessary driver modules (thanks to M. Kiesel for reporting that it still used DVBDIR). - Added 'eval' to the $VDRCMD call in 'runvdr' to avoid problems with quoting (suggested by Udo Richter). - Fixed missing ',' in the Italian and Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta). - Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a timer is about to start recording (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed the character 'r' in fontosd and fontsml for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír Bárta). - When checking whether a VPS timer has entered the "VPS margin", the event's start time is now used instead of the timer's start time, because otherwise events that start way off of their VPS time wouldn't be recorded correctly. - If VPS timers are active, their events are now being kept up to date if there are any free devices available. - Fixed the character #207 in fontosd for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír Bárta). - Fixed handling unknown codes when learning LIRC remote control codes (reported by Helmut Auer). - Since some channels (especially the Austrian ORF) randomly change the ids of their EPG events, VDR now gives the start time precedence when searching for existing events. - Fixed automatically updating the CAM menu in case the whole operation (for instance a firmware update) takes longer than the menu timeout.
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.
