- Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo Richter). - Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof Parma and Helmut Auer). - Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt CAM's version 3.11 firmware. - Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel). The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu. Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. - If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased". The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off. - The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing. Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of 10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed. - The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source. - VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding. - Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8 encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding (see tools.h for details). - Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8 characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled correctly between systems with different character encodings. - Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts. - Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area. - Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect when the "Ok" key is pressed.
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.
