- Added cDevice::DeviceNumber() to get the number of a device, not counting any gaps that might be in the index count. - Fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next event. - Adapted type names to the new HEAD version of the driver (which the previous NEWSTRUCT branch has been merged into). Note that to use this driver version you still need to add NEWSTRUCT=1 to the make call when building VDR. You need a HEAD version of the LinuxDVB driver dated 2002-10-11 or later to compile VDR with NEWSTRUCT=1. - Fixed radio channels in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele and Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed switching the video format in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Uwe Scheffler for reporting this one). - Reactivated full handling of second audio PID (even in 'Transfer Mode'). - Fixed a crash when closing down with remote control plugins (thanks to Oliver Endriss helping to debug this one). - Commands in the file 'commands.conf' can now have a '?' at the end of their title, which will result in a confirmation prompt before executing the command. - Changed a few leftover 'new char[...]' to MALLOC(char, ...). - If a command executed from the "Commands" menu doesn't return any output, the OSD will now be closed automatically. - The SVDRP command PUTE now triggers an immediate write of the 'epg.data' file (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). - The new configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define commands that shall be executed from the "Recordings" menu; see MANUAL and 'man vdr(5)' for details (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
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.
