Hi list,
Since VDR-1.7.x introduced the TS recording format, the VDR recordings world was split into PES and TS recordings. While VDR-1.7 can play both, all VDR-1.7 recordings cannot be played by 'stable' VDR-1.6 systems any more. In order to re-unite VDR-1.6 and VDR-1.7, I've back-ported parts of VDR-1.7 to 1.6 to allow playback of TS recordings even on VDR-1.6 systems.
Facts in short: - Plays back TS recordings in SD resolution - HD recordings may work depending on output plugin - Can edit TS recordings - Records to old PES format, fully compatible to VDR-1.6.0 - No recording to TS possible, sorry. - Supports >4GB and >255 files for TS recordings - No frame rate support, assumes 25fps - Implements TS device interface for output plugins - Working TS to PES repacker - Hybrid index file support. No conversion to/from old format as VDR-1.7 does. - EXPERIMENTAL! BE WARNED!
For convenience, there's a compatible version of the hard link cutter patch and the jumpplay patch available. Since the impact of the patch is quite big, other patches might break too.
