VDR developer version 1.3.7 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.7.tar.bz2
*** BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING VPS CONTROLLED TIMERS!
*** IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO PROGRAM BOTH A VPS CONTROLLED AND
*** A "NORMAL" TIMER (WITH A DIFFERENT START TIME AND MAYBE A SOMEWHAT
*** DIFFERENT FILE NAME) IF YOU WANT TO RECORD SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT.
With all that said, I would appreciate if many of you could test this
new and long awaited feature and report any bugs or unexpected behaviours
you might encounter.
WARNING:
========
Before using this version, please make sure you read the file
README.developer (which is contained in this archive). Also, please
don't use this version in your "productive" environment (unless you
know what you're doing ;-), because it automatically changes the
'channels.conf' file and the changed file might not work with older
versions of VDR.
Note that due to the new transponder scanning the number of channels
may increase dramatically, and so may the amount of EPG data.
Set the "Setup/DVB/Update channels" option to a smaller value if you
don't want to get new transponders or channels.
The changes since version 1.3.6:
- Added 2x Instant Time Shift. It is now possible to do Time Shift twice. For example you can record 2 Channels and watch another. This is also possible with an single card system. Note that you need the new "RE-HEAD" driver from the linuxtv.org CVS.
- Added 16bit Color OSD. Reworked the whole OSD to display nice 16bit colors. The Elchi-Patch is now also included.
- Added the AC3OverDVB Patch from S. Hülswitt. VDR now takes AC3 or DTS data from a recorded or transfered stream, encapsulates the
data into special headers and sends them out via SP/DIF connector of the card.
- Added Budget-Mode. It is now possible to use VDR with an Budget Card only. ATTENTION: You will need 2 Budget Cards to get that working.
Note that this an experimental developer Version. Please report Bugs to the VDR-Mailinglist.
The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux...3-11-08.tar.bz2
which is the CVS 'RE-HEAD' version from 2003-11-08, made available as a complete
archive for your convenience. Of course, you can also use any newer version from
the CVS.
Have fun!
