Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to + (de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there. +- The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the + first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that + item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote + control. +- The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to + Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set + to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file + will have the new format. +- The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle. +- Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not + only when disk space is being needed for a new recording). +- Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control. +- Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the + maximum possible number of DVB cards. +- The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2' + to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM + module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card). +- The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and + restore the list when switching between them. +- The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a + recording and play it from the very beginning. +- Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS). +- When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video + directory. +- Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer. +- New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD. +- The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR. +- SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted. +- SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed + (default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup"). +- The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character + in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this. +- Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann). + See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable. +- Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor. +- A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off + scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems. +- New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the + primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means + that every timer may use the primary interface. +- The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user + modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details). +- The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes + VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the + given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new + 'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited. |
