When updating from an earlier version of VDR please make sure you read the INSTALL and MANUAL files that come with the VDR source _before_ doing so! Please make sure you have backup copies of all your configuration files, and verify carefully that your timers will be set to the correct channels after switching to this new version.

Thanks to the many people who have contributed in the making, testing and debugging of this new version of VDR.

Please also visit the newly refurbished VDR homepage at

Have fun!

Sorry for interrupting the party, great job for sure, but I think EPG on DVB-S2 is in fact buggy on DVB APIs 5.3 to 5.7.

For these API verisons, the API 5.8 code fork replaces DTV_STREAM_ID with DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID, and sends this command to DVB-S2 cards, even though DVB-S2 cards can hardly handle DVB-T2 commands. At least DVBAPI 5.2 will fail miserably on that, not sure if DVBAPI 5.3 to 5.7 is more tolerant in ignoring this.

Suggested fix is to at least limit the DTV_STREAM_ID call for DVB-S2 to DVB API 5.8.

Alternatively, you can take over my runtime check, or just drop support for DVB API 5.7 and older.

I guess I'll do the latter in version 2.1.1. If in doubt, you may want to use the driver from

http://linuxtv.org/hg/~endriss/media_build_experimental

because that's the one I use, so I can say that it works (at least with the hardware I use). Currently I use the version as of 2013-03-01, which has

#define DVB_API_VERSION 5 #define DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR 10
