- Now explicitly handling exit value 0 and 2 in 'runvdr'. - Added a missing 'w' to the allowed characters for Finnish and Swedish (thanks to Lauri Tischler and Ragnar Sundblad). - Added channels for DVB-T Hannover (Germany) to channels.cont.terr (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - Fixed a hangup in SVDRP when the client disappears without sending QUIT (thanks to Robert Bartl for reporting this one). The problem was introduced in version 1.2.2 through the fix for an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin. - Fixed displaying still pictures, now using the driver's VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call directly (thanks to Oliver Endriss). This also improves navigating through DVD menus with the DVD plugin. If this causes problems with your particular system (maybe because you are using the 'analogtv' plugin) you can reactivate the previous behaviour by commenting out the line #define VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES in VDR/dvbdevice.c. Note that you need driver version 2003-08-23 or later for this to work! - Fixed handling extra blanks in plugin command lines. - Actually implemented the SVDRP command DELC. - Now clearing the player device if there are too many poll timeouts in 'Transfer Mode', which avoids buffer overflows and black screens in such cases.
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.

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.
