[vdr] ANNOUNCE: DXR3-plugin vdr-dxr3-0.1.7

[Stefan Schluenss <dxr3_osd@schluenss.de>]

Hi guys,

it's time for a new version of the DXR3-plugin.

For those who don't know what this plugin is for:
The plugin allows using a DXR3/Hollywood+ (MPEG2-Decoder) card as a primary
interface giving a brilliant TV-out and full featured OSD (On Screen Display)
control.
This might be interesting for people who want to build a vdr system while
their budget is limited.

Some highlights of this version:
- Added unix domain server interface to close and reopen dxr3 devices without
  stopping vdr (see dxr3_ux_client.pl script on how to use this).
- Added support for external player mode.
- Some changes to reduce cpu load.
- Added workaround handling for osd crash (driver patch necessary; patch with
  em8300_patch.diff).
- Added buffered output for mp3-plugin audio data. This seems to improve audio
  quality significantly.
- Reduced count of audio errors (wrong data rate).
- Added exception handling for defect pes streams.
- Added more checks by introducing a new pes parsing class.
- Fixed buffer overrun problem (see History for more information).
- Added a setup parameter for selecting the spdif output of the card to
  connect a digital receiver (NO AC3 until now).

Have fun
Stefan
