VDR Plugin 'streamdev' Revision History --------------------------------------- - dropped several unused functions in libdvbmpeg - restricted VTP command RENR to liemikuutio patch < 1.32. Build fails with newer versions of this patch (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - updated outdated COPYING file and FSF address (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - include SDT and TDT in TS streams - the icy-name HTTP header sent with radio streams makes VLC pick the wrong demuxer. Send icy-name only for ES audio streams. - fixed regression of "live TV must be switched in VDR main thread" change: deadlock in IGMP streaming server when switching live TV. - streamdev-client returns true in its AvoidRecording() method introduced with VDR 1.7.19. Note however that the impact of NumProvidedSystems is higher. - updated device selection to code of VDR 1.7.19 - adaption to VDR 1.7.12 cReceiver API change - increased WRITERBUFSIZE. Has been reported to fix some ringbuffer overflows (thanks to Lubo¨ Dole¸el) - check availability of channel if VTP command TUNE is called without prior PROV call (e.g. client side EPG scan) - added support for VDR 1.7.19 SignalStrength/SignalQuality - analog video channels use the same transponder and pid for different channels, so streamdev-client must always issue TUNE command - server must close the VTP connection also if filter stream is broken - fixed missing #ifdefs for new NumProvidedSystems setup option - new externremux.sh mencoder config options: audio pid by language code (-alang) and verbosity (-msglevel) (thanks to Pekko Tiitto) - writer must not spend too much time waiting in select() without checking if the thread has been cancelled - added Spanish translation (thanks to Javier Bradineras) - live TV must be switched in VDR main thread - dropped compatibility with VDR < 1.5.16 - return value of streamdev-clients cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() now configurable in plugin setup 2011-02-11: Version 0.5.1 - updated copy of GetClippedNumProvidedSystems to the version used since VDR 1.7.15 (reported by carel@vdrportal) - fixed the code deciding if a device is in use for live TV or not. It did not work as expected for FF cards (reported by wtor@vdrportal) - increased client side timeout for TUNE command - more dsyslog messages to help troubleshouting channel switch issues - improved the channel switch code trying to move live TV to different card - make sure that a client doesn't interrupt replaying on server's FF card (reported by wtor@vdrportal) - switching away live TV failed even when "always suspended" (reported by Michal Novotny) - fixed regression: no receiver created for ES/PS/PES (reported by Gavin Hamill) - VTP no longer uses a static priority value for its server-side receivers. The server stores channel and priority requested with the PROV command and re-uses these values in a subsequent TUNE for the same channel. The new PRIO command is used to update the receiver's priority if necessary. - added parameter HEIGHT to externremux.sh - fixed syslog messages reporting local instead of remote IP and port - fixed regression of the GetDevice(...) change. Filter streaming to clients with a recent VDR version no longer worked. - log an error if externremux.sh is missing or not executable - since VDR 1.5.0 cDevice::GetDevice(...) is no longer a query only method. It detaches all receivers of the device it returns. So it is no longer suitable for testing the availability of a device. Added a copy of VDR's cDevice::GetDevice(...) without the detach receivers part as a workaround until a better solution is available - added dsyslog messages to help troubleshouting channel switch issues - VTP command SUSP didn't attach the player to the primary device - fixed incompatibilities with older make versions - replacing a connections receiver is now an atomic operation. Solves stuttering audio/video due to lost TS packets when adding/removing PIDs - disabled attribute warn_unused_result in libdvbmpeg - slightly increased thread priorities of cStreamdevWriter/Streamer (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg) - fixed missing support for invisible channel groups (groups without name) in HTTP menu (reported by Timothy D. Lenz) - don't quote actual program call in externremux.sh, so you can run the program through e.g. nice or taskset just by extending the variable which holds the program name - in externremux.sh each mencoder audio and video codec has a dedicated variable for a default option string now. Still you can override each default option with an URL parameter - externremux.sh mencoder now uses scale parameter with negative height instead of -xy for scaling (suggested by vel_tins@vdrportal) - added FPS (frames per second) parameter to externremux.sh (suggested by vel_tins@vdrportal) - don't use std::map.at(). It's not available in older libstdc++ version (reported by Matthias Prill) - fixed extremux x264 using value of ABR for VBR (thanks to vel_tins@vdrportal) 2010-07-20: Version 0.5.0b - fixed wrong URL path in m3u playlists (reported by Norman Thiel) 2010-07-20: Version 0.5.0a - set externremux.sh executable in distribution archive - externremux quality value should be wlan54, not wlan45 (reported by wolfi.m@vdrportal) 2010-07-19: Version 0.5.0 - using SIGINT in externremux to kill mencoder works better than SIGTERM; especially x264 still needs a SIGKILL sometimes - added --remove-destination to cp commands installing plugins - fixed "plugin doesn't honor APIVERSION" (reported by carel@vdrportal) - updated Italian translation (thanks to Diego Pierotto) - config option "client may suspend" hidden if not applicable - updated and enhanced README - separated language resources of client and server - restructured build process - added support for HTTP method HEAD - rewrite of externremux.sh, including support for various URL parameters, logging and improved shutdown - start externremux script in a separate process group - changed HTTP URL path for externremux from EXTERN to EXT (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg) - HTTP headers now have to be emitted by externremux script - pass channel related information and URL parameters to externremux script through environment - implement CGI like interface for externremux script - dropped "Synchronize EPG" feature. Please use epgsync-plugin instead (available from http://vdr.schmirler.de) - proper tsplay-0.2 patch detection. tsplay-0.1 is no longer recognized (thanks to Udo Richter) - added compatibility with VDR 1.6 tsplay-0.1 patch - added support for EnhancedAC3 (thanks to Eric Valette) - fixed a memory leak in cStreamdevPatFilter::GetPid (thanks to lhanisch) - length -1 is the correct value for streams in M3U playlists - switching between two encrypted channels on the same transponder didn't always work (thanks to sk8ter@vdrportal) - added DELT FORCE option to delete running timers (thanks to Alwin Esch) - added VDR 1.7.11 parental rating support for VTP LSTE command (thanks to Alwin Esch) - added Lithuanian translation (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras) - fixed missing virtual destructor for cTSRemux - added defines for large file support to Makefile as required by VDR 1.7.4+ (reported by wirbel@vdrportal) - added Slovak translation (thanks to Milan Hrala) - fixed regression from fix for switching between encrypted channels. It was no longer possible to receive multiple (FTA) streams from the same transponder - silenced warnings concerning asprintf (requested by Rolf Ahrenberg) - don't update recordings list on CmdPLAY (reported by BBlack) - cleaned up common.h / common.c - dropped cStreamdevMenuSetupPage - report charset in HTTP replies (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg) - use SO_KEEPALIVE option on all sockets do detect dead sockets (thanks to owagner) - enable PatFilter for externremux, so VLC can be used as remuxer or client - fixed insecure format strings in LSTX handlers (thanks to Anssi Hannula) - updated Finish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - removed redefinitions in includes - caused problems in older compilers - fixed ts2ps.h defines - fixed missing virtual for cTS2PESRemux destructor - silenced format mismatch warning on 64bit OS - added XBMC support by extending VTP capabilities (thanks to Alwin Esch) - now there's a common baseclass for all remuxers, make use of it - added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() which was introduced in VDR 1.7.0 - added namespace to remuxers - increased WRITERBUFSIZE - buffer was too small for high bandwidth content - removed cStreamdevStreamer::m_Running - eliminated potential busy waits in remuxers - updated cTSRemux static helpers to code of their VDR 1.6.0 counterparts - re-enabled PES vor VDR 1.7.3+. Streamdev now uses a copy of VDR 1.6.0's cRemux for TS to PES remuxing. - make sure that only complete TS packets are written to ringbuffers - use signaling instead of sleeps when writing to ringbuffers - optimized cStreamdevPatFilter PAT packet initialization - fixed cStreamdevPatFilter not processing PATs with length > TS_SIZE - 5 - use a small ringbuffer for cStreamdevPatFilter instead of writing to cStreamdevStreamers SendBuffer as two threads mustn't write to the same ringbuffer - added missing call to StopSectionHandler which could cause crashes when shutting down VDR - added IGMP based multicast streaming - ignore trailing blank lines in HTTP requests - fixed parsing Min/MaxPriority from config (thanks to Joachim König-Baltes) - updated Finnish translation (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg) - added Min/MaxPriority parameters. Can be used to keep client VDR from using streamdev e.g. when recording - disabled PES for VDR 1.7.3+ - added Network Media Tank browser support to HTML pages (thanks to Jori Hamalainen) - minor fixes of PAT repacker - repack and send every PAT packet we receive - fixed null pointer in server.c when cConnection::Accept() failes - consider Pids from channels.conf when HTTP TS streaming.
