- Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION! The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch. - First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L' and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer" shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow. - The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.
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/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 MANUAL file describes how to operate the 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.
