Introduction</h2> If you have just a desktop computer with a dvb-card and are running KDE you can have vdr running as a daemon (e.g. by init) handling all recording and use Kvdr as a viewer. <p>Just start kvdr, it connects to the vdr-daemon using SVDRP and lets you do anything vdr can do plus displays an overlay. <p>Alternatively it can be used if you have 2 dvb-cards (one in your remote-box and one in your desktop-box). You start the vdr-daemon also at your desktop and let it have the remotely mounted /video-directory for the recordings. <br> <h3> <a NAME="ss1.1"></a>1.1 Changes</h3> <p>0.6 changed commandline options, added new ones, added multimode for Xv, added PiP-mode for Xv+Ovl-Modes, removed the need for amixer, now use a 768x576 modeline if available, ... <p>0.52 made it compatible with KDE 3 (still compiles under KDE2) <p>0.51 initial size can be larger than PAL/NTSC, a value of 0,0 disables this feature and lets KDE2 restore settings work if applied, <br>zapping through video devices now works in xv-mode as well (multimode, however, so far not ;-) <br>implemented mouse pointer show-on-move/autohide feature <br>new command line option "-x 1" completly disables overlay mode and forces xv-mode on startup <br>new command line option "-d 1" disables modeline switch for xv-mode (desktop resolution used instead) <p>0.5 fixed reconnect after driver reload, some configuration-dialog bugfixes, implemented Xv-display including deinterlacing: Key V switches to Xv-Display, D toggles deinterlacing, <br>(minimum size in Xv-mod is PAL/NTSC size) <p>0.42 fixed a silly bug in clipping code <p>0.41 v4l-conf is used to set up the framebuffer, Key X shows up to 4 overlays at once, fixed the bahaviour if vdr does'nt respond on SVDRP-port <p>0.4 kvdr now handles video device itself (see Configuration dialog), Key Z zaps to next video device, fixed kvdr.desktop <p>0.35 fixed missing klocale.h (caused the debian compiling problem) <p>0.34 kvdr automatically reconnects to vdr on restart, hopefully fixed Mandrake/Redhat compiling problems <p>0.33 fixed volume-restore at program startup, configuration-dialog now centered in full-screen mode, fixed KDE2-way of "Help", reintegrated DPMS handling (can be activated in kvdr.h),command line option for colour-depth <p>0.32 temporarily removed DPMS-handling, fixed one clipping-failure, 2 more key bindings <p>0.31 fixed two more problems with the overlay, does this never end :-( <p>0.3 switched to KDE2 and (hopefully) fixed the clipping problems <p>0.2 changed handling of picture sliders to instant reaction, Apply-button closes configuration dialog now, implemented Front/Rear-balance - (tested with SBLive only), fixed bug with actual channel name in grabbed images <p>0.1 initial test version <p> <hr><a href="index-2.html">Next</a> Previous <a href="index.html#toc1">Contents</a> </body> </html>
