If you have a patch to make it working, just send it to me and I will add that to the ebuild. > epgsearch: > The current version does not compile against 1.5.X.

Attached is some code we think could be almost ready for commiting to gentoo-vdr-scripts. The conf-changes is just to comment that one can set LANG inside conf.d/vdr, and need not have it system-wide. > > Also, all recordings done previously have the scandinavian characters > displayed as ?-marks (in the info screen, don't have any DVB subtitles > in the old recordings to test with 'cause of this bug).
