There has been some controversy about my recent decision to move forward and require the "multiproto" driver for VDR in the developer version. It is also currently rather unclear whether the current PES recording format can be kept to handle HDTV, or whether it would make sense (or even be feasible) to switch to TS (as suggested by the people from RMM).
In order to take the edge of this, I was wondering if it would make sense to revoke the switch to the "multiproto" driver and go straight towards a stable version 1.6.0 with what is now in version 1.5.14. This should satisfy all those who are eagerly awaiting a new stable version, without forcing them to make the driver switch now.
If we decide to go that way, I would release a version 1.5.15 with what could become the new stable, wait until like the end of the month to see whether it still needs some minor fixes, and call it 1.6.0 then. I know there are still some patches out there that some would expect to go into the next stable version, but I actually want to prepare VDR for HDTV before looking into these patches.
So, here's the straw poll:
Should there be a stable version 1.6.0 now, based on what's in version 1.5.14, but without DVB-S2 or even H.264 support?
Yes or No?
