These are my patches for VDR. The version number indicates which VDR version
was used to create the patch. Typically these patches can be applied to older
and newer VDR versions too, but cannot be exchanged between 1.2.x and 1.3.x.

NOTE: Some patches are now obsolete since VDR-1.3.18/.19/.38. 
      They are labeled OBSOLETE-18/-19/-38 below.



dvbplayer5/6 (highly recommended)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fixes VDR's recording replayer to send proper I-frames to a device. Without
this patch it is very likely that incomplete I-frames are sent and therefore
many I-frames will not be displayed by devices like vdr-xine or dxr3.
This patch has a very positive effect on moving cutting marks and all fast
trickspeed modes as well as slow motion rewind.

NOTE: without this patch it is likely that xine disconnects from vdr-xine
      while moving cut marks.
NOTE: the 1.2.6 version already contains the transfer patch (see below).
NOTE: dvbplayer6 additionally addresses a radio recording issue which appears
      since 1.3.3x on radio channels (like RADIO INT2) with multiple audio
      tracks.



OBSOLETE-18: transfer (highly recommended) ***** VDR-XINE-SPECIFIC *****
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
changes "StripAudioPackets()" for better performance with xine. Without this
patch xine will have considerably higher CPU load when playing back dolby
recordings/live streams or recordings/live streams with more than one audio
track.

To enable the optimized methods compile VDR like this after patching:

	make ... OPTIMIZE_STRIP_AUDIO_PACKETS=1 ...

NOTE: you might get lots of FIXMEs on VDR's console without this patch.



OBSOLETE-18: remuxradio (highly recommended)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
fixes VDR's remuxer to break the incoming data of a radio channel into
complete PES packets to adhere to it's documentation for devices where
device can expect to be fed with one or more complete PES packets.

NOTE: you might get lots of FIXMEs on VDR's console without this patch.



OBSOLETE-19: HDTV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
enlarges some buffers in VDR to allow recording and replaying of HDTV streams
on channels like Euro1080 (HD1) or ASTRA HD which are both available on ASTRA
19.2 East.

To enable the larger buffers compile VDR like this after patching:

	make ... HDTV_SUPPORT=1 ...



replay
~~~~~~
completes an already integrated patch of mine. When VDR reaches the end of a
recording in trickspeed mode it will skip back a few seconds and finish the
recording at normal speed. This patch changes the behaviour to just finish
playback.

NOTE: The drawback is that fast forwarding a time shift recording will
      end replaying the recording when reaching the recording's end.



dvbspu
~~~~~~
fixes an issue with DVD menus (see vdr-dvd plugin). Without this patch you
wont see a change to menu selection.



OBSOLETE-38: menuitems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
extends cMenuEditStrItem which is used in VDR's OSD to enter "strings". With
this patch applied it is now possible to enter characters in such fields like
on mobile phones. If you press for example the key "7" repeatedly then the 
current cursor position will cycle throw the following characters "pqrs7ß$".
Applying this patch might be useful when using the epgsearch plugin where you
can now enter the words more quickly.
