Klaus Schmidinger	15485a5e06	Version 1.7.34 ... VDR developer version 1.7.34 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.34.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-1.7.34.diff and a helper patch for plugin Makefiles can be found at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff MD5 checksums: 55d9aba62563efe39ee040e987f7023c vdr-1.7.34.tar.bz2 019ba806b263f7054dbd0da8956ea73b vdr-1.7.33-1.7.34.diff 6c2b8efe5eead6822f006bc867ccb324 vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== This version comes with revised versions of the Makefiles for VDR itself and all of its standard plugins. As a result of this, existing plugins will no longer build with this version of VDR, unless their Makefiles are properly adapted. To do so, please follow the instructions given below. There is also a generic patch (see below) that might help you update your plugin's Makefile. If you do want to build this version of VDR with plugins that don't have their Makefiles adapted yet, you can simply copy the Makefile, Make.global and Make.config (if applicable) files from a previous version of VDR into this source and use them. Note, though, that you cannot mix old and new Makefiles. All Makefiles for VDR and all plugins must be either old or new! PLEASE GIVE THE PLUGIN DEVELOPERS SOME TIME TO ADAPT THEIR MAKEFILES ACCORDINGLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S CHRISTMAS, SO THEY PROBABLY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN SIT AT THEIR COMPUTERS ;-). From the HISTORY file: - Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from 'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested. - Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the "newplugin" script. - Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to xgettext in several plugin Makefiles. - Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13). - Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested by Christopher Reimer). The file Make.global is no longer used, and plugin Makefiles don't include the file Make.config any more. Instead they now retrieve all necessary information through calls to pkg-config. - The plugin Makefiles now have a separate 'install' target (suggested by Christopher Reimer). In order to still allow the normal building of VDR (with all plugins in its ./PLUGINS/src subdirectory, the plugin libraries in ./PLUGINS/lib and the i18n files in ./locale) the VDR Makefile checks the settings of LIBDIR and LOCDIR when building the plugins from within the VDR source directory. If these macros have their default values, then the 'install' targets of the plugins' Makefiles are called. Otherwise the 'all' targets are called and the plugins are merely built, and will have to be installed by a call to 'make install-plugins'. This now also allows a user to copy a plugin source to any directory, change into that directory and do 'make' and 'make install' to have the plugin installed to wherever the local installation of VDR expects them. - Plugin Makefiles now use DESTDIR and the 'install' program (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Due to the changes to the plugin Makefiles, existing plugins will not build with this version of VDR any more. You can either use the new 'newplugin' script to generate a dummy plugin directory and use the Makefile from there (adapting it to your particular plugin), or apply the patch from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff to your Makefile to make the necessary changes (see comments in that file for details). - Added the new menu categories mcChannelEdit, mcTimerEdit, mcScheduleNow, mcScheduleNext, mcRecordingInfo, mcPluginSetup, mcSetupOsd, mcSetupEpg, mcSetupDvb, mcSetupLnb, mcSetupCam, mcSetupRecord, mcSetupReplay, mcSetupMisc and mcSetupPlugins. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed replay stuttering close to the end of an ongoing recording (reported by Andreas Regel). - Fixed cIndexFile::GetNextIFrame() to properly handle the case where the very last frame is an I-frame (which normally shouldn't occur). - Fixed replaying ongoing recordings from other VDR instances.	2012-12-26 17:42:33 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	beffcabc81	Version 1.7.32 ... VDR developer version 1.7.32 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.31-1.7.32.diff MD5 checksums: 068ba78fd427694dcc480fe3b2d07148 vdr-1.7.32.tar.bz2 222f1e9b4d4edaa6fe57286409614cc7 vdr-1.7.31-1.7.32.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on an improved frame detection code, and improvements to the cutting process. When cutting a recording, VDR now removes any "dangling" TS packets from the beginning of an editing sequence and pulls in any "pending" TS packets at the end of a sequence. It also fixes all timestamps and continuity counters. However, while the results look much better now in, for instance, Kaffeine, the TT S2-6400 still shows some video artifacts at the editing points, and the Mac video player sometimes totally chokes on edited material. I did spend a lot of time trying to find out what could still be wrong here, but couldn't come up with any new ideas. So I think it's now time to invite others to test this new cutting code, read the source code and try to find out what's still going wrong here. Maybe (hopefully ;-) it's just some stupid little error... ;-) From the HISTORY file: - Pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode now opens the Recordings menu if there is no "last viewed" recording (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). The same behavior has been implemented for the Blue key in the main menu. - cIoThrottle::Engaged() is now also checked in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action(), to suspend removing deleted recordings in case this is necessary to make room for new, ongoing recordings (suggested by Udo Richter). - The cThread constructor now has an additional boolean parameter that can be set to true to have this thread run at a lower priority. Plugin authors that use low priority threads may want to use this instead of the calls to SetPriority(19) and SetIOPriority(7). The priority of a thread ("low" or "high") is now logged when the thread starts. - Changed DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_STREAM_ID in dvbdevice.c to adapt to an incompatible change in DVB API 5.8 (reported by Derek Kelly). Removed the meanwhile obsolete definition of FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC. - Fixed some compiler warnings under gcc version 4.7.1. - Fixed setting the video format in the dvbhdffdevice (thanks to Torsten Lang). - Fixed 'make install' to not overwrite existing configuration files (thanks to Peter Münster). - Added including the Make.global and Make.config files to the dvbdhffdevice's libhdffcmd/Makefile. - Added options to build a 32-bit version of VDR on a 64-bit machine to Make.config.template. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the running status of an event goes to '1' (not running) and later goes to '4' (running). - If a frame position in the 'marks' file of a recording doesn't point to an I-frame, it will now be shifted towards the next I-frame, either up or down, whichever is closer (suggested by Udo Richter). - Fixed a possible memory leak in SI::StructureLoop::getNextAsPointer() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Fixed handling timers in case an event is modified and "phased out" while the timer is recording. - Improved frame detection by parsing just far enough into the MPEG-4 NAL units to get the necessary information about frames and slices. - The initial syncing of the frame detector is now done immediately after the first complete GOP has been seen. This makes recordings and especially pausing live video start up to twice as fast as before. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Fixed handling the very last entry in a recording index. - The return type of cMarks::Add() has been changed to void, since due to the sorting of the list of marks the returned pointer might have pointed to a totally different mark. Besides, the return value was never actually used. - Improved editing TS recordings by + stripping dangling TS packets from the beginning of a sequence + including pending TS packets at the end of a sequence + fixing all timestamps and continuity counters + generating editing marks for the edited version in such a way that each cutting point is marked by an "end" and "begin" mark with the same offset + no longer generating an editing mark at the "end" of the edited recording (this was actually generated at the beginning of the last GOP, so that a subsequent edit would have cut off the last GOP) + no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results on just one single sequence + ignoring pairs of editing marks that are placed at exactly the same position of a recording when actually cutting the recording + not doing anything if the editing marks in place would result in the edited version being the same as the original recording - Editing marks can now be placed directly on top of each other, in which case they simply mark a position, but have no effect on the actual cutting process. - When positioned at an offset where two (or more) editing marks are placed on top of each other, the '4' key moves the first one of them to the left, while the '6' key moves the last one of them to the right. The '7' and '9' key handle multiple marks at the same place as if it were one single mark. - Modified editing marks are now written to disk whenever the replay progress display gets hidden (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).	2012-11-19 00:55:28 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c2d9577b3d	Version 1.7.24 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.24 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.24.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.23-1.7.24.diff MD5 checksums: a034c5e399417dfc583483f650d003ee vdr-1.7.24.tar.bz2 aa1a2b202da92e65945ff39470b26618 vdr-1.7.23-1.7.24.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a high load in case a transponder can't be received. - Improved the way DVB_API_VERSION is checked. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed asserting there is a live programme if the primary device is bonded with a device that starts a recording on a different band. - Fixed the return type of cMyDeviceHook::DeviceProvidesTransponder() in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed a crash in a plugin using cDeviceHook when VDR ends (reported by Oliver Endriss). - Some improvements to the Makefiles (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed cRecording::LengthInSeconds(), which wrongfully rounded the result to full minutes (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Symbolic links are no longer resolved in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The epg.data file is now read in a separate thread to make the startup process faster in case the file is very large (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Fixed selecting the primary device for receiving the live viewing channel in case it is bonded with an other device and has no receiver attached to it. - Fixed a possible crash when canceling VDR while displaying subtitles, and the primary device is no longer available. - Improved handling subtitles of BBC channels. - No longer using tabs as delimiter in the EPG bugfix log (they were garbled in the log file). - Added a missing '.' after the month in VPS strings. - Added some missing 'const' to cDevice (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed handling the PrimaryLimit when requesting a device for live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler). - Removed superfluous calls to SetVideoFormat() from device constructors. This function is called in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice(), anyway. - An ongoing editing process is now canceled if either the original or the edited version of the recording is deleted from the Recordings menu. - The SVDRP command DELR now won't delete a recording that is currently being edited. - Removed code stub for obsolete SVDRP command MOVT. - The DVB device adapters/frontends are now probed by scanning the /dev/dvb directory instead of looping through adapter/frontend numbers. This allows for "holes" in the device numbering. - cReadDir::Next() now skips directory entries "." and "..". - Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode. - Fixed switching into time shift mode when pausing live video (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for helping to debug this one).	2012-02-19 16:36:45 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5a28d99936	Version 1.7.22 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.22 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.22.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.21-1.7.22.diff MD5 checksums: b9c0fe1aac8e653c0d0234bc72c2bb2c vdr-1.7.22.tar.bz2 868bb332342c9a78beda17cc85e0bb93 vdr-1.7.21-1.7.22.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed scaling subtitles in case the primary device's GetVideoSize() function doesn't return actual values (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - The DiSEqC codes are now copied in the call to cDiseqc::Execute(). - VDR now supports "Satellite Channel Routing" (SCR) according to EN50494 (based on the "unicable" patch from Lars Hanisch). Since "Unicable" is a registered trademark and stands for only one of many implementations of SCR, the following changes have been made compared to the patch, which need to be taken into account by people who have set up their system using the patch: - The 'U' parameter in the diseqc.conf file has been changed to 'S' ("Scr"). - The configuration file name has been changed from "unicable.conf" to "scr.conf". - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The SVDRP command LSTC now also accepts channel IDs (thanks to Dominic Evans). - Fixed handling DVB subtitles and implemented decoding textual DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added cap_net_raw to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Dominic Evans). - Fixed setting the start time of an edited recording (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Temporarily switching free devices to transponders in order to have their running status updated is now done by marking the devices as "occupied" for a certain amount of time. - The new setup options "LNB/Device n connected to sat cable" can be used to define which DVB-S devices are connected to the same sat cable and are therefore "bonded". This obsoletes the LNBSHARE patch. Users of the LNBSHARE patch will need to newly set up their sat devices with the above options. - Fixed a crash when deleting a recording while cutting it (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new SVDRP command UPDR can be used to trigger an update of the list of recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Added generating a pkg-config file to the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Removed the '.pl' suffix from all scripts (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Changed the default location for the LIRC socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added file name and line number to LOG_ERROR_STR() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Replaced all calls to sleep() with cCondWait::SleepMs() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash with malformed SI data (patch from vdr-portal).	2011-12-05 20:36:02 +01:00
