- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long. - Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD. - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card system. - Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text was too long...). - Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off". - The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether). See 'vdr --help' for details. - Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used). - Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for details. - Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode. - If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given only once. - Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink).
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.
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?
