LinVDR has switched to the new VDR version 1.3.17 from the development
branch. This adds a lot of new features, including various skins for the
OnScreen Display, automatic scanning for new channels, and dynamic CAM
recognition. The most popular new plugin is the DVD-Burn plugin, so you
can now burn your recordings to a Video DVD with some keypresses on your
remote control. The most bizarre one is the Taste plugin, with which you
can define some keywords for shows you absolutely don't want to see, and
the Taste plugin will prevent you from accidentally switching to them
when such a show is on air.
Kernel 2.6.4 is now used. ACPI support was
improved. Several new plugins and patches were
added, including graphic LCD, improved OSD, serial
buttons, signal strength, vbox, and media
detection. The installation system is now faster
and smaller and allows user interaction on any
state of installation.
Now with English and German language support and updates from previous LinVDR versions. New plugins for email and text console, plus audio CD support. Several bugfixes and new versions of existing plugins, a new VDR Admin, and support for Hauppauge Nexus remote control out of the box. Watching TV on a computer monitor and control via keyboard is now supported as well as sound cards (ALSA only, manual configuration).
Umlauts problems with Samba, multiple plugins, and invisible exports have been fixed. More plugins have been added (timeline, image, and browser), and others updated (clock, osdteletect, dvd, and games). Busybox and Samba have been updated for large file support, and there's now a limited version of apt-get and apt-cache for your own extensions. Support has been added for USB WLAN adapters, USB keyboards, and DVD authoring and burning.
