So I think something has to be changed in VDR code perhaps. I hope Klaus help us in this issue. Please see ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.0-bidi.diff.gz for a patch that I received a while ago from Osama Alrawib <alrawab at hotmail dot com>. I haven't had time to take a closer look at this, or even try it myself yet. >From a quick look at it I'm afraid it produces quite a memory leak, because 'Rightstr' is allocated but never deleted. I'm also not sure about the language code "ar". Normally these are all three letter codes, so maybe it should be "ara"? Let me know if this patch works for you, and any improvements you might implement. I hope I'll find the time to add this to the VDR source later on.
