Hi,

there is a bug fix release for the Remote Control plugin.

History: -------- 2006-01-25: Version 0.3.5 - Fixed segfault due to FileName == NULL in cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying() (thanks to Ronny Kornexl for reporting this one). Rewrote cTtyStatus::Recording() and cTtyStatus::Replaying(): Do not assume that Name and/or FileName have a particular format.

It can be downloaded from     http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/vdr/

See README for details.

Short description: ------------------ This plugin extends the remote control capabilities of vdr. The following remote control devices are supported:

(a) linux input device driver ('/dev/input/eventX', X=0,1,2,...)     - built-in remote control port of the av711x-based DVB cards       (aka full-featured cards), e.g. DVB-S Nexus [1]     - remote control port of some budget cards, e.g. Nova-CI [2]     - other input devices (not tested, please report success!)     See file FAQ for a list of cards which have been reported to work.

(b) keyboard (tty driver): /dev/console, /dev/ttyX

(c) TCP connection (telnet)

(d) LIRC

Notes: [1] supported by DVB and dvb-kernel [2] supported by dvb-kernel only

Summary of command line options: -------------------------------- -i dev,   --input=dev   select device which supports the /dev/input protocol -l dev,   --lirc=dev    select LIRC device -t dev,   --tty=dev     select terminal device -T dev,   --TTY=dev     select terminal device with 'OSD' -p tcp:n, --port=tcp:n  select connection on tcp port <n>

Examples: --------- vdr -Premote vdr -P"remote -i autodetect"     Try to autodetect device '/dev/input/eventX' (X = 0,1,2,...).     If no device can be identified, '-i /dev/input/event0' is used.

vdr -P"remote -i /dev/input/event2"     use specified input device '/dev/input/event2'

vdr -P"remote -l /dev/lircd"     select LIRC remote control

vdr -P"remote -p tcp:3333"     wait for a telnet connection on tcp port 3333     (use 'telnet vdr 3333' to access this port)

vdr -P"remote -t /dev/tty10"     use terminal device without 'OSD'

vdr -P"remote -T /dev/tty10"     use terminal device with 'OSD'

vdr -P"remote -i autodetect -p tcp:3333 -t /dev/tty10"     use multiple devices

Have fun,

Oliver
