Just start kvdr, it connects to the vdr-daemon using SVDRP and lets you do anything vdr can do plus displays an overlay.
Alternatively it can be used if you have 2 dvb-cards (one in your remote-box
and one in your desktop-box). You start the vdr-daemon also at your desktop
and let it have the remotely mounted /video-directory for the recordings.
0.64 new Tiny-Sticky-Mode implemented, kvdr is now a "KUniqueApplication", bugfixes with overlay/geometry/positioning
0.61-0.63 package maintainance releases only
0.6 changed commandline options, added new ones, added multimode for Xv, added PiP-mode for Xv+Ovl-Modes, removed the need for amixer, now use a 768x576 modeline if available, ...
0.52 made it compatible with KDE 3 (still compiles under KDE2)
0.51 initial size can be larger than PAL/NTSC, a value of 0,0 disables this feature and lets KDE2 restore settings work if applied,
zapping through video devices now works in xv-mode as well (multimode, however, so far not ;-)
implemented mouse pointer show-on-move/autohide feature
new command line option "-x 1" completly disables overlay mode and forces xv-mode on startup
new command line option "-d 1" disables modeline switch for xv-mode (desktop resolution used instead)
0.5 fixed reconnect after driver reload, some configuration-dialog bugfixes, implemented Xv-display including deinterlacing: Key V switches to Xv-Display, D toggles deinterlacing,
(minimum size in Xv-mod is PAL/NTSC size)
0.42 fixed a silly bug in clipping code
0.41 v4l-conf is used to set up the framebuffer, Key X shows up to 4 overlays at once, fixed the bahaviour if vdr does'nt respond on SVDRP-port
0.4 kvdr now handles video device itself (see Configuration dialog), Key Z zaps to next video device, fixed kvdr.desktop
0.35 fixed missing klocale.h (caused the debian compiling problem)
0.34 kvdr automatically reconnects to vdr on restart, hopefully fixed Mandrake/Redhat compiling problems
0.33 fixed volume-restore at program startup, configuration-dialog now centered in full-screen mode, fixed KDE2-way of "Help", reintegrated DPMS handling (can be activated in kvdr.h),command line option for colour-depth
0.32 temporarily removed DPMS-handling, fixed one clipping-failure, 2 more key bindings
0.31 fixed two more problems with the overlay, does this never end :-(
0.3 switched to KDE2 and (hopefully) fixed the clipping problems
0.2 changed handling of picture sliders to instant reaction, Apply-button closes configuration dialog now, implemented Front/Rear-balance - (tested with SBLive only), fixed bug with actual channel name in grabbed images
0.1 initial test version
