Hmmm. My VDR automatically updates its channel list by itself, and adds all channels and transponders I ever needed. (which is far from what other receivers I know do.) The only thing I miss is a built-in way to get rid of channels that are gone. (I do have my own solution though.) > Also, other functions such as rotor, better disecq and > sourcecaps etc should also be embedded within the core functionality > by now. Sure, agreed. But I don't see that there are developers that push this forward. Most features get developed to basic functionality, and then development stops, and the patch is merely ported from one version to the next. Before things can be included, they need to be thoughtfully improved to the best possible solution for all needs, because once included, the feature will stay for a very long time. A patch can just be dropped in favor of a better one, a core feature cannot. > Perhaps a step towards a repo would be for people to work simply on > these core patches with the aim to actually getting them integrated. > Like mini projects, working with Klaus on the final quality on each > one. Been there, done that. Takes a lot more time than you would think, but is definitely worth it. ;) Cheers, Udo _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
