That's great news! Myself and several others have been patiently waiting an h264 patch for vdr-1.7.1 and now 1.7.2 (for me at least, not sure who else has switched yet)! It will be great to finally have h264 support in vdr's core but until then we still need updated patches.
Ok, I didn't realize that vdr 1.7.1 still needed h264 patch on top of the Klaus S2API patch for watching S2 channels. What patch should I apply?
there are dvb-s2 mpeg2 channels - for it no need any h.264 patch there are dvb-s/dvb-s2 channels which are using h.264 codec - for their you should patch the vdr with h.264 patches havw a look on VDR Extensions Patch http://www.zulu-entertainment.de/download.php
Yup, Goga is right. I think that extentions patch was adapted to 1.7.1 but it comes with a ton of other crap which is why I never bothered with it. I hate those 'mega-patches' or whatever. We'll be happy with just h264 plain patch which it sounds like we'll finally get soon so that's good news!
