- Fixed clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description in case the data comes from an external source. - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Guido Josten). - Fixed a possible crash if cPluginManager::GetPlugin() is called with a NULL pointer (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed displaying the error log message in case an unknown plugin was requested in a key macro (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Keys from expanded key macros are now put into the front of the key queue to avoid problems if the queue is not empty at that time (based on a patch from Petri Hintukainen). - cKeyMacro now has an explicit counter for the number of keys it contains. - cRemote::PutMacro() now sets a lock while it expands the macro (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed handling plugins from cRemote::PutMacro() and cRemote::CallPlugin() (based on a patch from Petri Hintukainen). - Increased the size of the key queue to avoid problems with long key macros.
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

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.
