Frank Schmirler 19e8cf2a28 writer must not spend too much time waiting in select() without checking 
if the thread has been cancelled.

Delayed the streamdev main thread for up to 3 seconds. As the command timeou
of VTP connections is 1.5 seconds, one hanging connection could have caused
VTP connections to die.

VDR Plugin 'streamdev' Revision History
---------------------------------------
- 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)

- added defines for large file support to Makefile as required by VDR 1.7.4+
(reported by wirbel@vdrportal)

- 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)

- fixed insecure format strings in LSTX handlers (thanks to Anssi Hannula)

- 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 K<>nig-Baltes)

using streamdev e.g. when recording

- 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. Section filtering
is an optional feature for VDR devices, so we must not rely on the PMT
alone (pointed out by wirbel@vdrportal)

Rolf Ahrenberg)
