The changes since version 1.3.21:

- Removed some unneeded code and fixed access to unallocated memory in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Avoiding unnecessary calls to SetPid() in cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer calling EnsureAudioTrack() in cDevice::SetChannel() if a Transfer Mode is started, to avoid setting the audio PID on the primary device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Replaced the call to system("sync") in SpinUpDisk() with fdatasync(f) to avoid problems on NPTL systems (thanks to Chris Warren for pointing this out). - Increased POLLTIMEOUTS_BEFORE_DEVICECLEAR in transfer.c to 6 to avoid problems with the larger buffer reserve (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed the call to SetVideoFormat() in cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() (parameter is _bool_). - Added support for setting the video display mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new setup option "DVB/Video display format" can be used to define which display format to use for playing wide screen video on a 4:3 tv set. - Changed MAXDPIDS to 16 (8xAC3 + 8xDTS) (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out). - Completed dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans). - Added 'smi' to the Finnish language codes (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed ensuring there is a current audio track in case there is only one track (thanks to Werner Fink for reporting this one). - Improved automatic audio track selection. - Keeping the track language codes and descriptions in Transfer Mode (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Fixed handling repeated kAudio keys. - Improved displaying the the current audio track in the ST:TNG channel display.

The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at

ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2004-12-26.tar.bz2

which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2004-12-26, made available as a complete archive for your convenience.

Of course, you can also use any newer driver version.

Have fun!
