Version 0.85vdr-0.85
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jørgen Tvedt). - Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). - Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). - Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich Röder). - Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). - Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. - Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. - Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks to Guido Fiala). - When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). - When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful setting of the mark. - Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner). Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of several PW channels has been changed. - Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". - Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). - Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a replay session is started immediately after that. - Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. - Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode').
