[linux-dvb] Re: DTV - New (minor) Release 1.2

["Reiner Rosin" <rosinr@web.de>]

Hi,
First of all: Great piece of software :)

I took a quick look at the new DTV and have some infos/questions:

1) when doing "make install" the file "key_definition.dcl" wasn't copied
to the dist-dir (didn't examine that, but I suppose you just forgot
to include that in the makefile)
2) although I changed NO_DATABASE in the makefile to '1', the #ifndef NO_DATABASE
statement in database.c succeeded and tried to compile with DB-support
(had this error with earlier versions....)
3) question: is the size of the videotext-window limited due to the limited
size of osd-bitmaps in the driver?
4) if diseqc is enabled (I'm using two satellites here), is there alway
a diseqc message sent or just when switching channels from different
satellites? I ask this, because I noticed that my old channel-switching-bug
doesn't occure with DTV? I think, I will have a closer look at your
channel-switching code tomorrow.

bye, reiner
