- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher. - Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in the DVB/driver directory. Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may be sound fragments. - The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes. Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple HTML programme listing. - Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus. - Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter. - Fixed missing initialization in cConfig. - Implemented "On Disk Editing". - There is no more default 'timers.conf' file. - Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro). - Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer mode". - Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields. - Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their name (this is now mapped to 0x01). - Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'. - Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when a recording is interrupted due to higher priority. - Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file and then renames it). - In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every 5 seconds. - The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled, and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems. - Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it is still necessary for the EPG info).

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.

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?
