- Fixed cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() to make sure it doesn't access memory beyond the end of the given buffer, which has caused some unjustified "unknown picture type errors" (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when pausing live video and the recording was unable to start, maybe because there was no lock on the device (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting this one). - Fixed some characters in the iso8859-2 font file (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed some errors in the Croatian language texts (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed a possible recursion in cControl::Shutdown() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Now setting the VPID before the APID in live mode to avoid unnecessary overhead in the firmware (thanks to Werner Fink). - Now checking available OSD memory at runtime (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Olaf Titz). - Fixed handling childTid in cThread to avoid possible race conditions (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Fixed toggling the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu, so that it selects the right day of week for timers in the future. - Some improvements to cPoller (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
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
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.
