- The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread. - The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data stream. This can be enabled in the "Setup" menu by setting "SetSystemTime" to 1. Note that this works only if VDR is running under a user id that has permisson to set the system time. - The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG (thanks to Robert Schneider). See the MANUAL file for a detailed description. - The new setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop define how long (in minutes) before the official start time of a broadcast VDR shall begin recording, and how long after the official end time it shall stop recording. These are used when a recording is programmed from the "Schedules" menu. - The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased to '3', because on some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you are running an already patched version 0.71 driver and encounter problems with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay call is '3', not '2'. - Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching on the system). - Problematic characters in recording names (which can come from timers that are programmed via the "Schedules" menu) are now replaced by suitable substitutes.
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.
