- Support for more than one DVB card. - Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards). - Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name of the channel, with a prepended '@' character. - Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with a prepended '@' character. - If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains an option to stop that recording. - Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed. In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of inactivity. - If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an option to stop replaying. - Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the RCU display. - Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on menu controlling remote control units.
On Screen Menu for the Video Disk Recorder ------------------------------------------ These files contain the source code of an on screen menu for a video disk recorder 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 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, maybe, 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? Please send email to kls@cadsoft.de if you'd like to comment on this.
