- Fixed detecting transponder lock in cDvbTuner (based on a patch from Stefan Meyknecht). - What was previously marked with WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING is now permanently active and uses a cCondVar to signal when a transponder is locked. - Added some missing 'const' to cChannel. - Added a sample setup for 'DisiCon-4 Single Cable Network' to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed attaching a cPlayer to a cDevice, so that 'Operation not permitted' errors don't occur any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a case where the resultBuffer in cRemux ran full before getting a sync. - Removed the usleep() call from cDvbPlayer::Action() to make VDR run on NPTL systems (thanks to Alfred Zastrow). The NPTL check at startup has also been removed. - Taking the complete size of available data into account when deciding whether to clear the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated Romanian language texts and the iso8859-2 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now actually using the iso8859-15 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Some minor code cleanups (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam). - Fixed missing cleanup at program exit in case there is a problem with a plugin (thanks to Mattias Grönlund for pointing this out). - Increased the required free buffer space in the resultBuffer of cRemux to 2 * IPACKS to avoid a buffer overflow in case a cTS2PES writes one complete packet and then (within processing the same TS packet) wants to write another small packet. - Removed the signal handler and WakeUp() call from cThread (it is no longer needed). - Added some checks when canceling a thread and removed the usleep() in cThread::Start() (suggested by Ludwig Nussel). Also removed 'running' from cThread and using only childTid to indicate whether a thread is actually running. - Added cCondWait::Sleep() and using it to replace all usleep() calls (based on a suggestion by Werner Fink). - Only assigning events to timers if the related schedule has actually been modified. - When searching for the present event, the running status is now only taken into account if the event has been "seen" within the past 30 seconds. This avoids shortly seeing the wrong events in the channel display when switching to a channel that hasn't been tuned to in a while.
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.
