- The function cThread::Cancel() now only sets 'running' to false and does not actually kill the thread if the special value -1 is given (suggested by Udo Richter). - Changed the I18nNormalizeLanguageCode() check to also allow blanks (and all other printable characters) in the language codes (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that there are stations that use blanks in these codes). Blanks are replaced with underlines, so that all parts of VDR that rely on language codes to be one word (without blanks) work as expected. - Now clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description if there is no ShortEventDescriptor or ExtendedEventDescriptor, respectively (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that events without an ExtendedEventDescriptor may get duplicate information in their ShortText through the EPG bugfixes in case they are received again). - Fixed handling video directory updates in case an other process has touched the .update file after the last NeedsUpdate() check (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed handling language codes and descriptions of recorded audio tracks on channels with multiple tracks where not all of them appear in the event data (reported by Boguslaw Juza).
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.
