During the development of version 1.3 I have been often a little frustrated not to have seen a final version 1.4. There were a lot of reasons that IMHO the usage of version 1.2 was quite outdated: No automatic channel scan, updated Dolby Digital output, modified recording format and finally plug-ins that only worked with the 1.3 branch. I expect the same for vdr 1.5 concerning e.g. multiprotocol drivers, or to be more precise: Usage of DVB-S2. As soon as multiprotocol drivers and DVB-S2 are working, I think there will be once again no way back to the stable version, even if the final 1.6 might make us wait until 2009/2010. Nevertheless, it was good to see that bigger bugs in 1.3 have been reported a few days later so that I was always informed wether it was "secure" to install the latest development branch.
Some people (not saying you're one of them) automatically assume that because something is labeled as "development", that it's not stable. Not true. I've been using vdr since 1.3.x also and most of the 'development' versions up until 1.5.2 have been very stable. Something else I've noticed is people thinking vdr is faulty when it's actually a plugin they use that's causing problems. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
