A new version of VDRAdmin-am – web interface to the VDR, was released today. There are not so many changes in that release:

• Added: Use “.update” in VDR’s video directory to check if recordings cache needs to be refreshed.
• Added: CACHE_REC_ENABLED option in vdradmind.conf to enable (1) or disable (0) recordings caching.
• Changed: Encode.pm now is optional and no recoding will happen if it’s missing.
• Updated: Finnish translation

Using VDRAdmin-am allows to manage times, records, see EPG, change channels, watch current channel via HTTP. The VDRAdmin-am v3.6.4 can be downloaded here.

30th of June was released a new version of VDRAdmin-AM – alternative web interface for VDR. The v3.6.2 contains following major changes:

• No need to set the VFAT option in VDRAdmin-AM any longer as both filename codings will be searched for.
• Include UTF8 locales by default.
• Added support for modifying EPGSearch blacklists.
• Show stream and switch buttons in prog_summary on channels without EPG information.

Additionally a few translations was added and minor bugs were fixed.

VDRAdmin-AM is a fork of VDRAdmin. It became more popular than its parent. It’s a result of good localization, quick bug fixing and implementing requested features, support of all well-known web browsers.
