Hello,

the softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke) is pleased to announce a new release of vdr's softdevice plugin.

General info: Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg.

This is just a maintance release for previous 0.3.0 version, as code for support of vdr version earlier than vdr-1.3.7 will be removed soon.

Supported vdr versions: (1.2.x,) 1.3.x and 1.4.x

Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/

Changelog since last release: 2006-11-05: softdevice-0.3.1 - xv-out: limit used width & height to screen dimensions. - audio: select alsa h/w-mixer for volume control via command line. 2006-10-11: - hopfull final color jump fix for odd "cut columns from left" values. - fix horizontal picture placement when YUY2 is selected for xv-out. 2006-10-10: - fix segfaults when YUY2 pixelformat is used for xv-out and cut lines from top is non zero.
