6 August: New remote type supported in dongle 0.0.6
3 August: CVS updated to fix the bug where watching Live TV with the MVP could stop VDR from recording something. I don't want to guarantee this 100%, but it should work :)
25 July: Dongle 0.0.5 released. Now possible to go to standby if the server is inaccessible. New options menu where S-Video can be set, rather than editing the config manually. Now possible to set power up state.
23 July: Corrections to the development guide. Updates to client and server CVS. New dongle 0.0.4 to support NTSC and S-Video. IMPORTANT!: I don't know if NTSC detection works, as I would need a MVP from NTSC-land to test it. Be warned... If NTSC detection doesn't work and it sends a PAL signal to your NTSC TV then you decided to try it.. Don't blame me! On the other hand, if you are in NTSC land and you know your TV can take a PAL signal, or at least not blow up if it gets one, please try the latest dongle and let me know if it works. S-Video: As there is no config menu yet, just edit the config file generated by the vompserver plugin for the MVP, it's located at VDR_CONFIG_DIR/plugins/vomp-IP_ADDRESS_OF_MVP.conf .
17 July: Thanks to Dave Pickles for a patch that enables vompserver to compile using VDR 1.3.27. Development environment setup guide posted
