- Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if no channels or timers are defined. - Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke). - Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being replayed. - Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time was set. - Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor. - Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts. - Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer). - Fixed setting system time from transponders. - Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information. - The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it. - Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of recordings. - Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen). - The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal (thanks to Jürgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL). - Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card, recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for systems with three or more DVB cards. - Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke. - Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR. - VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump). - SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the Windows 'telnet'). - Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages. - New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data. - The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns.
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/people/kls/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 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
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.
What do you think?

So, what do you think about this project? Does it make sense? Were you
able to use it? Do you have suggestions on how to improve it?
