- The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence() (thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf file. - To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root" is given. - Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option). - Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original patch by Ludwig Nussel). - Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle). - Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism introduced in version 1.3.32. - Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'. - Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko). - Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host (reported by Philippe Gramoullé). - Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each channel's schedule in the cChannel data. - Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error" (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels". This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series. Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the "All events on all channels" page may take a while. - The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus. - Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann). - Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling).
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.
