Bug#498286: vdr is compiled with VFAT=1

[Milan Kopacka]

Package: vdr
Version: 1.4.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n


Directories with recordings are by default named by
programme title from EPG, which can contain characters
with accents.

vdr in etch is compiled with option VFAT=1, this setting damages the
directory names (programme titles) in the filesystem (certain characters
are escaped like this 'Ve#E8ern#ED#E8ek'). There is no way to switch it
back to original default, only by recompilation.

vdr includes an command line option to switch on this behaviour
(--vfat).

I suggest removing the compiled-in default and move the configuration to
config file of startup script, so it can be switched off without
recompilation.

thanks

  Milan
