Was it ever posted here for official inclusion? Yes. It startet on January 18th, 2004 with a posting by Christian Schuld (the patch author). I posted a version on April 6th, 2005, that was adopted to the latest VDR, see attachment. >>I also kind of like my own "delete_resume" patch which dramatically >>reduces the number of redundant resume.vdr files. See my posting >>from March 3rd, 2005. Of course, that patch is just "nice to have", >>not "cannot live without it". It started on January 30th, 2005. I posted it again on March 21st. See second attachment. >>I guess there will be many people who require one or another patch >>before they can use vdr. >> >>Any ideas? > > > Try to convince Klaus to include the patches.

Klaus, as I said above, on a system without diseqc and with more than one dish, I believe Christian's SourceCaps patch is a must. It's also not very complicated and thus should not impose a high risk of breaking something in vdr. My patch is just a performance optimization. On a system with very many recordings, it can become quite significant, though. It is even smaller than the SourceCaps patch, though and thus should not impose any risk of breaking something in vdr. So, can you please, please, please include these two in the next VDR version? :-) Carsten. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded message was scrubbed...
