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	5109addf9c	Version 1.7.33 ... VDR developer version 1.7.33 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.diff MD5 checksums: 7c21451360ac7959d0d95e533d34451c vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 c79257198f8569bc02f43dc470ee3076 vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.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 of VDR no longer sets LC_NUMERIC to "C" in order to make sure any floating point numbers written to configuration files use a proper decimal point. It rather explicitly converts such numbers using the new functions atod() and dtoa(). IF YOU USE PLUGINS THAT STORE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS IN THEIR OWN CONFIGURATION FILES, YOU SHOULD SET export LC_NUMERIC=C BEFORE RUNNING VDR, UNTIL THESE PLUGINS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY UPDATED. From the HISTORY file: - In order to be able to play TS recordings from other sources, in which there is more than one PMT PID in the PAT, 'int cPatPmtParser::PatPmt(void)' has been changed to 'bool cPatPmtParser::IsPatPmt(int Pid)'. - Fixed learning remote control keys with the LCARS skin. - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Fixed getting only non-video packets in cCuttingThread::GetPendingPackets() (reported by Sören Moch). - Changed all occurrences of MPEG4 to H264 (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed getting the number of editing sequences in case the last sequence has no actual end mark. - The cutter now only increments the TS continuity counter for packets that have a payload (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed adjusting the DTS values in the cutter, to compensate for dropped B-frames (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Simplified calculating the PTS offset in cPtsFixer::Fix() and fixed the overflow handling of PCR values (thanks to Sören Moch). - Fixed calling iconv_close() only with a valid iconv_t value (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed faulty opening of the Recordings menu when pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode in case there is a "last viewed" recording. - Fixed some #include statements in plugins to use <vdr/...> instead of "vdr/..." (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Fixed some spellings in osd.h and svdrp.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling lowercase polarization characters in channel definitions if no DiSEqC is used (reported by Mike Hay, actual bug pointed out by Stefan Huelswitt). - Synchronizing system time to the transponder time is now done using adjtime() in order to avoid discontinuities (suggested by Manuel Reimer). If the time difference is more than 10 seconds, stime() is still used to do the initial sync. - The '7' and '9' keys now jump to the very beginning or end, respectively, of the recording, even if there is no mark set at that point (following a request from Andre Weidemann). - Now always setting the TDT EIT filter, because otherwise when turning on using the transponder time in the Setup menu, it would only be used after the next restart of VDR (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The new functions cDevice::CanScaleVideo() and cDevice::ScaleVideo() can be used by derived output devices to implement scaling the video to a given size and location (based on a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). - The SVDRP command HITK now discards any keys if the remote control is currently turned off (thanks to Alexander Hans). - The new remote control key "Play/Pause" can be used with remote controls that don't have separate keys for "Play" and "Pause", but rather have a single key for both functions (thanks to Stefan Hofmann for suggesting to implement support for such remote controls). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Pause on mark set" can be used to activate automatically going into Pause mode if an editing mark is set during replay (suggested by Andre Weidemann). - When regenerating the index of a recording, the frame rate stored in the info file is now automatically fixed if it differs from the value detected by the frame detector. - Fixed creating the edited version directory if a relative file name is given in the call to 'vdr --edit' (the '/video' part was stripped from the given file name even if it wasn't there). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Progress display time" can be used to activate automatically displaying the progress display whenever replay of a recording is started (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). - Changed reading and writing of floating point numbers into configuration files to make it independent of the decimal point used in the current locale. All calls to atof() have been replaced with the new function atod(), which makes sure the string representation of a floating point number using a '.' as decimal point will be handled correctly, even if the locale in use expects a ',' as the decimal point. Plugins that read floating point numbers from their own configuration files will also need to use atod() for this, or use a method of their own (this is not necessary if values are stored in VDR's setup.conf file, because VDR takes care of this). The reason for these changes is that floating point numbers presented to the user shall be displayed in the way defined by the current locale (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). If you use plugins that store floating point values in configuration files of their own and have not yet been adapted to this change, you should set export LC_NUMERIC=C before running VDR. Otherwise your plugin's configuration data may not be read or written correctly. - The new functions SetItemEvent(), SetItemTimer(), SetItemChannel() and SetItemRecording() of the cSkinDisplayMenu class can be reimplemented by skin plugins to display these items in a more elaborate way than just a simple line of text.	2012-12-26 17:18:12 +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	fa6845328c	Version 1.7.31 ... VDR developer version 1.7.31 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.31.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.30-1.7.31.diff MD5 checksums: a3edd18a352465dd26c97c1990f7bcfd vdr-1.7.31.tar.bz2 32ff98697d1b383478a6e1932e4afc9c vdr-1.7.30-1.7.31.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 default skin "LCARS" displays the signal strengths and qualities of all devices in its main menu. For devices that have an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) retrieving this information from the driver is rather slow, which results in a sluggish response to user input in the main menu. To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches to the LinuxDVB driver source. The changes since version 1.7.30: - If regenerating an index file fails and no data is written to the file, VDR now reports this error and removes the empty index file. - The setup parameter "Recording/Instant rec. time (min)" can now be set to '0', which means to record only the currently running event (based on a patch from Matti Lehtimäki). - Decreased the ring buffer put/get trigger sizes from 1/3 to 1/10. - The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called whenever a recording is deleted (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). - Improved detecting frames in MPEG 4 video (reported by Andrey Pridvorov). - cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() now also recognizes stream type 0x81 as "AC3", so that recordings that have been converted from the old PES format to TS can be played (suggested by Jens Vogel). - Fixed a leftover frame counter in the LCARS skin's replay display after jumping to an editing mark and resuming replay. - The new class cIoThrottle is used to allow I/O intense threads to temporarily suspend their activities in case buffers run full (suggested by Torsten Lang). Currently the cutter thread is suspended if the TS or Recorder buffer use more than 50% of their capacity. Plugin authors may want to participate in this mechanism if they use intense background I/O. - Increased the size of the TS buffer to 5MB and that of the Recorder buffer to 20MB to better handle HD recordings (suggested by Torsten Lang). - Moved cleaning up the EPG data and writing the epg.data file into a separate thread to avoid sluggish response to user input on slow systems (based on a patch from Sören Moch). - Fixed sorting folders before recordings in case of UTF-8 (thanks to Sören Moch). - Reactivated stripping control characters from EPG texts and adapted it to UTF-8. - Added missing decrementing of 'len' in libsi/si.c's String::decodeText() functions. - When checking whether a video directory is empty, file names that start with a dot ('.') are no longer automatically ignored and implicitly removed if the directory contains no other files. Instead, RemoveEmptyDirectories() now has an additional parameter that can be given a list of files that shall be ignored when considering whether a directory is empty. This allows users to continue to use files such as ".keep" to prevent a directory from being deleted when it is empty. Currently the only file name that is ignored is ".sort".	2012-09-30 16:05:19 +02:00

To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches to the LinuxDVB driver source. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed sorting recordings in the top level video directory. - Fixed handling control characters in SI data in case of UTF-8 encoded strings (thanks to Mehdi Karamnejad for reporting a problem with garbled UTF-8 EPG data and helping to debug it). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - When checking whether a video directory is empty, file names that start with a dot ('.') are now ignored and will be implicitly removed if the directory contains no other files. This fixes the leftover ".sort" files that were introduced in version 1.7.29. - Added IsUpdate() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - Fixed detecting transfer mode on full featured DVB cards (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting a problem with updating CA descriptors in such cases). - Fixed a race condition when zapping in transfer mode (reported by Reinhard Nissl). This involves a slight change in the semantics of the cReceiver::Activate() function, which is now called with 'false' after the receiver has been detached from the device. - The new function cDevice::ReadFilter() can be used by devices to implement their own way of retrieving section filter data (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - The new function cDevice::HasInternalCam() can be implemented by devices that provide encrypted channels in an already decrypted form, without requiring explicit handling of a CAM (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - VDR can now be built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard") by activating the line #USEFHS = 1 in a copy of the file Make.config.template (thanks to Dennis Bendlin, as well as Christopher Reimer and Udo Richter for contributing to the patch). - By default (without FHS support) the config directory is now set to the value given in the -v option if only -v and no -c is given. - Fixed a long delay at the end when replaying a recording that has stopped recording less than an hour ago (typically time shift mode or a freshly edited recording). - Fixed getting the file size and number of frames of ongoing recordings (only the timestamp of the recording's directory was checked, while it should have been that of the index file). - Fixed sluggish response when manipulating editing marks while a cutting thread is running (reported by Torsten Lang). - The new setup options "OSD/Color key [0123]" can be used to adjust the sequence of the color buttons displayed in the menus to that of the color keys on your remote control (based on a patch from Oliver Schinagl). Authors of plugins that implement skins may want to adapt their SetButtons() function in order to make use of this new feature. See, for instance, the function cSkinClassicDisplayMenu::SetButtons() in skinclassic.c for details.	2012-09-11 23:49:53 +02:00

The selected sort mode is stored separately for each folder (provided you have write access to that folder). If a folder is newly created by a repeating timer, the sort mode for that folder is initially set to "by time". - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling recording with more than two bonded devices. - Fixed the type of MBperMinute in cVideoDiskUsage::HasChanged() (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Setting the "broken link" or "TEI" flags when cutting recordings is now suppressed if the editing point merges two seamlessly fitting parts of the same stream (thanks to Torsten Lang). - Fixed displaying messages in the LCARS skin. - Fixed checking for a visible live programme in case a menu or the channel display is currently open. - Changed some of the colors in the LCARS skin (you may need to delete the file lcars-default.theme from your themes directory to see these changes). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source" can be used to turn on adding the source character to channel names whenever they are displayed (suggested by Ludi Kaleni).	2012-07-15 20:49:35 +02:00

This can be done either through a call to cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuCategory() or by reimplementing cSkinDisplayMenu::SetMenuCategory(). This information allows a skin to use special icons or decorations for the various types of menus in VDR. - The new setup option "DVB/Standard compliance" can be used to switch between different variations of the DVB standard (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Currently there is "DVB" (for the original DVB standard) and "ANSI/SCTE", which is used to properly handle certain private stream types. - The disk usage is no longer automatically added to the title of the main and "Recordings" menus. This has always been a mekeshift solution and it is now up to the individual skin if, where and how it wants to display this information. A skin can use the new cVideoDiskUsage class to implement such a display. For compatibility, the default skins "Classic VDR", "ST:TNG Panels" and "Text mode" (i.e. curses) have been changed to behave like before. Other skins may want to display the disk usage in totally different ways. - A cOsdMenu can now handle skins that display different numbers of items in the various menu categories. - OSD and skin are now reinitialized after a plugin setup page has been confirmed, to have them react immediately in case any change to a plugin's setup parameter has an effect on the OSD. - The Timers list is now marked as modified whenever a recording starts or ends. - Fixed cDevice::StillPicture(), making sure it doesn't call the derived class's function if no buffer has been allocated (reported by Marcus Roscher). - Fixed the SVDRP command UPDR, which didn't update the global recordings list (reported by Lars Hanisch). - cControl::Control() now has an additional boolean parameter, which can be set to true to get the current player control even if it is hidden. - The new functions cControl::GetRecording() and cControl::GetHeader() can be used to retrieve information about what the current player is playing. - Fixed a possible high CPU load when pausing replay (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed character comparisons in cSubtitleObject::DecodeCharacterString() (reported by Reinhard Mantey). - Renamed the function cString::sprintf(const char *fmt, va_list &ap) to vsprintf(), because it might inadvertently be called with a 'char *' as the second argument on some compilers and cause a crash (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Removed the "bondedMasterFailed" mechanism from cDvbTuner, because it caused problems with the EPG scan in case a transponder is not receivable in a setup with bonded devices (reported by Michael Schneider). - Making sure setup strings don't contain any newline characters (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - The new member function cSkinDisplayReplay::SetRecording() allows a skin to display more information about the currently played recording. - Fixed a mismatched 'delete' in cSchedules::SetEpgDataFileName() (thanks to Reinhard Mantey). - The DrawText() functions of the OSD now accept the new alignment flag taBorder, which triggers keeping a proper distance from the edge that taLeft or taRight aligns to. - Fixed checking for UTF-8 support in cFont::Bidi() (reported by Torsten Lang). - If a recording has no info file, the 'title' of the recording's info is now set to the recording's name. - cVector::Clear() now reinitializes any previously used members. - Fixed resetting CAMs (thanks to Marco Skambraks). - The new function RgbShade() (include osd.h) can be used to generate a brighter or darker version of a given color. - The new class cSortedTimers can be used to quickly get a list of all timers, sorted by their start time. - The new skin "LCARS" is an enhanced version of the "ST:TNG" skin (which is still there in its original layout, for those who don't like the LCARS skin, or can't use it due to OSD limitations). The LCARS skin utilizes the new "menu category" feature to display additional information on the main menu page. It shows upcoming timers and the system's devices, as well as which device is recording which timers. The upper pane of the main menu displays the programme data in live and replay mode, and a progress bar. An indicator on the right side of the device list shows which device is currently used for live viewing, and whether it is in transfer mode. The individual device displays show the device number, the device type, which CAM (if any ) is currently assigned to the device, and the signal strength and quality. On the left side of the OSD there is a permanent display of the current date and time, the disk usage and the system load. "LCARS" is the new default skin of VDR. It requires at least a 4bpp (16 color) full screen OSD, but you can still operate it if your OSD can handle only fewer colors (in which case you may want to switch to the "ST:TNG" or "Classic VDR" skin). - Finally removed the code marked with __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS and LEGACY_CRECEIVER. - Now making sure that the "small font" is never larger than the "osd font". - Fixed font handling with fontconfig 2.9.0 or newer (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel). - Extended the interface to the script that gets called for recordings, so that in the "edited" case it also provides the name of the original recording (thanks to Christian Richter). - Added DeleteEvent() to the EPG handler interface, so that an EPG handler can trigger deleting of an event (thanks to Christian Kaiser). - Speeded up opening menus on systems with many (several thousands) of recordings, by caching the information whether a recording is stored on the video directory file system within the cRecording data (based on a patch from Torsten Lang).	2012-06-05 00:33:28 +02:00

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 Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the Green button in the "Edit timer" menu from "Once" to "Single" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some typos in HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The channel name column in the "What's on now/next" menu now adjusts its width to display the full short name of each channel (suggested by Dominic Evans). - Dropped the meanwhile obsolete script 'i18n-to-gettext'. - Removed the obsolete function cPlugin::RegisterI18n(). - Removed the obsolete typedef tI18nPhrase. - Adapted menu column widths of 'skincurses' to the wider HD OSD sizes. - Deactivated definition of __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS (recording.h) and LEGACY_CRECEIVER (receiver.h) to trigger an error for any plugin that still uses the respective code. You can reactivate these to quickly make your plugin compile again, but beware that these code parts will be removed in one of the next versions. - Made the "overloaded-virtual" warning an error to detect hidden overloaded virtual functions (thanks to Anssi Hannula for pointing out -Werror=...). Plugin authors may want to change -Woverloaded-virtual to -Werror=overloaded-virtual in their Makefiles. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Improved fast forwarding to the end of a timeshift recording. - The new function cDevice::DeviceName() returns a string identifying the name of the given device. - When toggling a timer between "Single" and "Repeating", the previous setting is now retained in case the user toggles back to the original value. - When estimating the remaining disk space (in hours), the average data rate of all existing recordings is now taken into account. If this value can't be determined, the previous value of 25.75 MB/min is taken. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in the 'osddemo' plugin. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Fixed a memory leak in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Moved setting LC_NUMERIC further up to make sure any floating point numbers use a decimal point (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added missing channel locking to cEIT. - Fixed reduced bpp support for DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Reverted some improvements to Make.config.template (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed handling IDLEPRIORITY in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Frank Schmirler).	2012-03-25 15:43:37 +02:00

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: - The fps value for channels where it differs from the default is now set correctly when pausing live video. - Increased the average character estimate for calculating tab positions in skins, to better suit wide fonts (reported by Rudi Hofer). - Fixed getting the subsystem ids of DVB devices in case they have been rearranged via udev rules. - Added several cTimer::Set...() functions (suggested by Alexander Rieger). - Changed the return value of cTimer::SetFile() to 'void'. - Revoked "Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode" because it caused trouble with output on vdr-xine and dxr3, and also short glitches when replaying on any output device. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling subtitle color palettes on channels where subtitles appear "word by word" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed upscaling cBitmaps with anti-aliasing (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting a problem with color palettes in subtitles). - Fixed getting the video aspect ratio for scaling subtitles. - Removed the "PrimaryLimit". Old "full featured" DVB cards can be run with the --outputonly option to avoid problems with recording high bandwidth channels. Besides, with HDTV becoming ever more popular those cards are pretty much obsolete by now (the TT S2-6400 has no problems recording and replaying high bandwidth channels simultaneously). And, last but not least, people using software players won't notice this change, anyway. - Since cReceivers can have priorities between -99 and 99, the priority for an unused device has been changed from -1 to -100. - If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored. This way an external EPG source can fill the schedules with EPG data that will not be messed up with that from the DVB data stream. Note, though, that this means VDR can not do VPS controlled recordings with such events! - Added some typecasts to silence gcc compiler warnings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling overlapping timers in case a VPS timer with higher priority needs to interrupt a timer with lower priority. - The code for the RCU remote control unit has been moved into a separate plugin named "rcu". The REMOTE=RCU option in the 'make' call for VDR is now obsolete. The command line option --rcu is now obsolete. Use -Prcu instead. If you have used --rcu with a device path, use -P"rcu -d<device>". - Added support for automatically selecting subtitles when playing old PES recordings made with the subtitles plugin (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Revised priority handling to allow receivers with a priority that is lower than that of live viewing (with suggestions from Frank Schmirler): + An idle device (one that is not used for live viewing and has no receiver attached to it) now has priority IDLEPRIORITY (-100). + An unused CAM slot now has priority IDLEPRIORITY. + The default priority of a cReceiver is now MINPRIORITY (-99). + A device that is used only for live viewing (no matter whether it's in Transfer Mode or real live mode) now has priority TRANSFERPRIORITY (-1). + The function cDevice::Receiving() now returns true if there is any receiver attached to the device. Its boolean parameter has no meaning any more. + The default value for the Priority parameter of the function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() has been changed to IDLEPRIORITY. - Added a Query parameter to cDevice::GetDevice(), so that devices can be queried without side effects when zapping. - Replaced min(max()) calls with the new function constrain(). - Fixed handling OSD color button texts in case a menu item has texts of its own (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). If a plugin creates derived cMenuEditItems that set color button texts, these should not set the texts directly by calling cSkinDisplay::Current()->SetButtons(), but rather call the new member function cMenuEditItem::SetHelp(). - Moved the call to cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch(this, 0) to the beginning of cDevice::SetChannel(), so that any receivers that have been attached to the device by plugins may be detached before the final call to GetDevice(). This actually reverts "Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel is actually going to be switched or has actually been switched successfully" which was made in version 1.1.10, so please report if this has any unwanted side effects.	2012-03-10 23:52:09 +01:00

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

From the HISTORY file: - Removed the '.pl' suffix from svdrpsend.pl (sorry, I missed that one). - Fixed bonding more than two devices. - Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Fixed a memory leak in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() in case there are too many link levels (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Removed redundant memset() in the ctor of cSatCableNumbers (triggered by Ville Skyttä pointing out that the argument sequence in the call was wrong). - Removed a redundant NULL check in cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added HasSnr to the DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY output in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() (triggered by Ville Skyttä pointing out that the variable HasSnr was unused). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added support for HbbTV to libsi (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Added support for devices with more than one delivery system per frontend. This requires a DVB driver with version 5.5 or higher that can handle the DTV_ENUM_DELSYS call. With older drivers it will fall back to one delivery system per frontend. - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - cDvbTuner::ExecuteDiseqc() now makes sure only one tuner sends SCR commands at any given time (reported by Frank Neumann). - cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now replaces any newline characters in stream component descriptions with blanks (thanks to Torsten Lang for reporting a problem with EPG data from BSkyB's "MTV MUSIC", S28.2E-2-2010-7012). - Fixed cDvbSubtitleConverter::SetOsdData() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed cListBase::Move() in case From and To are equal (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Added support for DVB-T2 to libsi (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added support for handling DVB-T2 transponders. This requires a DVB driver with version 5.3 or higher that can handle the DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID call (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed cConfig::Load() for g++ version 4.7.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a possible memory corruption in cTsToPes::GetPes() in case of broken TS packets, e.g. when switching channels. - Fixed the SVDRP command CLRE for a single channel in case there are events that have a timer (thanks to Timo Eskola). - BIDI support now checks at runtime whether the system runs with UTF-8 (suggested by Torsten Lang). - Added member functions Adapter() and Frontend() to cDvbDevice (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - The parameters that are only used by "second generation" delivery systems (DVB-S2 and DVB-T2) are no longer written into channels.conf for "first generation" delivery systems (DVB-S and DVB-T). - Changed IndexToHMSF() so that it can handle negative Index values. - Added option -N to the msgmerge call in the Makefile, because fuzzy translation mostly resulted in useless strings. - The new setup option "Replay/Show remaining time" can be used to switch between showing the total length or the remaining time of the recording that is currently replayed. - Fixed wrongfully displaying the length of a recording in the title of the replay progress display. - Fixed frozen live view with device bonding in case the bonded master is used for live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler).	2012-01-15 16:38:48 +01:00

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

From the HISTORY file: - Fixed detecting frames for channels that split frames into several payloads (reported by Derek Kelly). - Now initializing Setup.InitialChannel to an empty string to avoid problems in case there is no setup.conf. - The start time of an edited recording is now set to the time of the first editing mark (thanks to Udo Richter). This obsoletes the CUTTIME patch. - Direct access to the members start, priority, lifetime, and deleted of cRecording as well as to position and comment of cMark is now deprecated. Plugin authors should switch to the new access functions for these members. For now the macro __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS is defined in recording.h, which exposes these members, so that existing plugins will still compile. Comment out this #define to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified. This #define may be removed in a future version. - The new functions cRecording::NumFrames() and cRecording::LengthInSeconds() return the number of frames and length (in seconds) of a recording (suggested by Steffen Barszus). - The subtitle PIDs are now stored in the channels.conf file as an extension to the TPID field (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new function cDevice::ProvidesEIT() is used to determine whether a device can provide EIT data and will thus be used in cEITScanner::Process() to receive EIT data from the channels it can receive (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that by default it is assumed that a device can't provide EIT data, and only the builtin cDvbDevice returns true from this function. - The Audio and Subtitles options are now available through the Green and Yellow keys in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). This is mainly for remote controls that don't have dedicated keys for these functions. - The SVDRP command HITK now accepts multiple keys (up to 31). - The Recordings menu now displays the length (in hours:minutes) of each recording (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that the "new" indicator has been moved from the recording time to the length column. This new format is also used by the SVDRP command LSTR, so in case you have an application that parses the LSTR output, you will need to adjust it to the new format. - The dvbsddevice plugin now supports the new option --outputonly, which disables receiving on SD FF devices and uses the device only for output (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed detecting frames on radio channels (reported by Chris Mayo). - Revoked the changes to cFrameDetector that have been introduced in version 1.7.19. Detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries is now done by locally skipping TS packets in cFrameDetector.	2011-09-04 17:50:17 +02:00

This adds no overhead for channels that broadcast the frame type within the first TS packet of a payload; it only kicks in if that information is not in the first TS packet. - Fixed handling the channelID in cMenuEditChanItem (thanks to Udo Richter). - cStringList::Sort() can now be called with a boolean parameter that controls case insensitive sorting (suggested by Sundararaj Reel). - Now scanning new transponders before old ones, to make sure transponder changes are recognized (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented static cIndexFile::IndexFileName(). - The length (as number of frames) of a recording's index file can now be determined by a call to cIndexFile::GetLength() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed some crashes in subtitle display (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Made DELETENULL() thread safe (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - The pic2mpg script of the 'pictures' plugin now generates HD images (thanks to Andre Weidemann for his support in using convert/ffmpeg). The old SD version is still available as pic2mpg-sd. - Added a mutex to protect cOsd::Osds from simultaneous access from different threads (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - The cutter now sets the 'broken link' flag for MPEG2 TS recordings (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed language code entry for Portuguese. - The new command line options --filesize (suggested by Marco Göbenich) and --split can be used together with --edit to set the maximum video file size and turn on splitting edited files at the editing marks. These options must be given before --edit to have an effect. - cTimeMs is no longer initialized to the current time if the value given to the constructor is negative (avoids the "cTimeMs: using monotonic clock..." log message before VDR's starting log message).	2011-08-16 20:32:01 +02:00

Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.19 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.19.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.18-1.7.19.diff MD5 checksums: 1eb04ecdc2b11ab8641ebfaa2cb93f42 vdr-1.7.19.tar.bz2 db16ce7bb51e0db837ed56ef4744a67e vdr-1.7.18-1.7.19.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. This version introduces functions to determine the "signal strength" and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may want to apply the patches from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from that frontend. Since apparently the various frontend drivers return different maximum values in their FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH and FE_READ_SNR functions (some deliver a value in the range 0x0000...0xFFFF, while others return values as "dB/10" or "dBm/10" (the latter with an offset to make the value positive, since the parameter is unsigned), the functions cDvbTuner::GetSignalStrength() and cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() use the device's "subsystem ID" to map these values into the range 0...100, which is the normalized return value of these functions. Take a look at these two functions and maybe remove the comment characters from the lines //#define DEBUG_SIGNALSTRENGTH //#define DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY in dvbdevice.c to get some debug output if your device doesn't return any directly useful values and may have to be added appropriately to the 'switch (subsystemId)' statement. The channel display of the 'sttng' skin uses these values to implement a signal strength/quality display. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed cString's operator=(const char *String) in case the given string is the same as the existing one (thanks to Dirk Leber). - Avoiding a gcc 4.6 compiler error in the skincurses plugin (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - TsGetPayload() now checks if there actually is a payload in the given TS packet (reported by Dirk Leber). - Now sorting the source file names in the call to xgettext, to make sure the results are not dependent on the sequence of the files. Plugin authors may want to change the line containing the xgettext call in their Makefile accordingly by changing "$^" to "`ls $^`". - The primary device is now only avoided for recording if it is an old SD full featured card. This is done through the new function cDevice::AvoidRecording(). - Subtitle PIDs are now also decrypted (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDiseqc::Execute() (reported by Marco Göbenich). The return value of cDiseqcs::Get() is now const, so plugin authors may need to adjust their code if they use this function. - The new functions cDevice::SignalStrength() and cDevice::SignalQuality() can be used to determine the signal strength and quality of a given device (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for some input on how to use BER and UNC values to generate a "quality" value). - The 'sttng' skin now displays two colored bars at the bottom of the channel display, indicating the strength (upper bar) and quality (lower bar) of the received signal. The number to the left of these bars indicates the actual device the current channel is being received with. - Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries (reported by Johan Andersson). In order to fix this, the semantics of cFrameDetector had to be changed a little. See cRecorder::Action() and cIndexFileGenerator::Action() on how to use the new cFrameDetector::NewPayload() function. - The frame detector now only starts collecting PTS values after it has seen the first I-frame, otherwise it might get MaxPtsValues values and stop analyzing even though the incoming data is still garbage (reported by Derek Kelly). - The info file of a recording is now only overwritten with a new fps value if that new value is not the default value (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting a problem with the fps value being overwritten in case a recording was interrupted and resumed, and the fps value could not be determined after resuming recording). - The initial channel is now stored by the channel ID in the setup.conf file, in order to avoid problems in case channels are reordered or deleted (reported by Lars Bläser). - Added support for "content identifier descriptor" and "default authority descriptor" to 'libsi' (thanks to Dave Pickles).	2011-06-19 18:35:46 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8b9350c091	Version 1.7.18 ... - Changed -O2 to -O3 in Make.config.template (reported by Matti Lehtimäki). - Added a missing 'default' case in cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse(). - Fixed some direct comparisons of double values. - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with separate "fields" instead of complete frames. - Made updating the editing marks during replay react faster in case the marks file has just been written (with a patch from Udo Richter). - Fixed horizontal scaling of subtitles (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Stripped the note "The data returned by this function is only used for informational purposes (if any)" from the description of cDevice::GetVideoSize(). The VideoAspect is now used to properly scale subtitles. - Fixed cUnbufferedFile::Seek() in case it is compiled without USE_FADVISE (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed the Language header of the Serbian translation file (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added anti-aliasing when upscaling bitmaps, which improves the display of SD subtitles when replayed on an HD OSD (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for his help in debugging). - Renamed cBitmap::Scale() to Scaled(), because it doesn't modify the bitmap itself, but rather returns a scaled copy. - Fixed the description of cReceiver in PLUGINS.html, regarding detaching a receiver from its device before deleting it (reported by Winfried Köhler). This change in behavior was introduced in version 1.5.7. - Fixed scaling subtitles in case the OSD size is exactly the same as the display size of the subtitles. - Added a missing initialization to sDvbSpuRect (reported by Sergiu Dotenco). - Replaced "%lld" and "%llX" print format specifiers with "PRId64" and "PRIX64" to avoid compiler warnings with gcc 4.5.2 (thanks to Sergiu Dotenco). On a personal note: I find it a step in the totally wrong direction that there have been macros introduced to work around this problem in the first place. There should have been "real" format specifiers defined that address this. These macros are nothing but an ugly workaround. - Added Cancel(3) to ~cTrueColorDemo() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing font deletion in cTrueColorDemo::Action() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a buffer overflow in cFont::Bidi() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added HD stream content identifiers to vdr.5 (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Made cRecordingInfo::Read(FILE *f) private to avoid calls to it from outside cRecordingInfo or cRecording (reported by Mika Laitio). - The dvbhddevice plugin is now part of the VDR distribution archive (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Removed an obsolete local variable in dvbsdffosd.c (thanks to Paul Menzel). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer dereference in osddemo.c (reported by Paul Menzel). - Now using pkg-config to get fribidi, freetype and fontconfig cflags and libs (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now also installs the include files (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added handling of "ANSI/SCTE 57" descriptors (thanks too Rolf Ahrenberg). - Avoiding an unecessary call to Recordings.ResetResume() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).	2011-04-17 17:09:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5619c0602b	Version 1.7.17 ... - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir() (cont'd) (thanks to Steffen Barszus). - Changed the description of cDevice::GetSTC() to make it mandatory for devices that can replay. - Removed the check for positive STC values from cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(). - Added cString::operator=(const char *String) (suggested by Antti Seppälä). - Some spelling fixes (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Passing package name and version to xgettext (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made 'dist' target dependent on up to date *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added Language and fixed Language-Team header of *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with 50 or 60 fps. This avoids artifacts during fast forward/rewind when replaying recordings from such channels. To fix the index of existing recordings from such channels, just delete the 'index' file of the recording and VDR will generate a new one the next time you play it. You should also change the line "F 25" to "F 50" in the 'info' file of that recording. - Added support for "registration descriptor" to 'libsi' and using it in pat.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed unjustified log entries about changed channel pids (reported by Derek Kelly). - Added an include of VDR's 'Make.global' to libsi's Makefile (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed displaying the "contents" information from the "Classic VDR" and "ST:TNG Panels" skins, because it is often wrong and nothing but irritating. - Added typecasts to avoid gcc 4.5 warnings in switch statements on eKeys variables where additional 'k_...' flags are used. - Fixed inclusion of <stdarg.h> (thanks to Henning Heinold). - Changed "frame duration" to "frame rate" in vdr.5 (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Removing a cRemote from the Remotes list in case its initialization failed (thanks to Dominik Strasser). - Added LDFLAGS to the linker calls in the Makefiles (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel and Paul Menzel). - Now updating the 'frames per second' data in the list of recordings when a new recording is started that has a frame rate other than the default. - The include path to the freetype2 header files is now retrieved via a call to 'pkg-config --cflags freetype2' (suggested by Andreas Oberritter). - The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details about the new functionalities. The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD if available. The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support. Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an implementation of the AlphaBlend() function. - Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Added Serbian language texts (thanks to Milan Cvijanovic). - Fixed reallocating memory in the "pictures" plugin (reported by Paul Menzel, with input from Oliver Endriss). - Fixed reallocating memory in cTsToPes::PutTs() (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Now checking the result of all realloc() calls. - Fixed setting up the 'Recordings' menu in case there are several recordings with exactly the same name (reported by Marcus Hilbrich). - Setting the audio type of language descriptors to 0x00 in the PAT/PMT generator (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Changed the compiler optimization flag to -O3, which gives quite a performance boost in the AlphaBlend() function. - While replaying, the editing marks are now updated every 10 seconds (based on a patch from Manuel Reimer). - Now reducing the thread and I/O priority cCuttingThread::Action() to make the foreground process more responsive (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Removed checking for minimum line length of 21 characters in the LIRC receiver code (reported by Gerald Dachs). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now storing the original display size when handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The original display size of subtitles is now used to scale them properly when displaying them on an HD OSD.	2011-03-19 19:02:09 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1eb12b4973	Version 1.7.14 ... - Fixed handling empty strings in cSource::FromString(). - Assigned the source character 'I' to "IPTV" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Assigned the source character 'V' to "Analog Video" (suggested by Lars Hanisch). This obsoletes the ANALOGTV patch. - Added support for ATSC devices (thanks to Alex Lasnier). This obsoletes the ATSC patch. - The "Source" item in the "Edit channel" menu now wraps around the list of sources (suggested by Halim Sahin). - Fixed editing channel parameters. - The new setup option "Recording/Delete timeshift recording" controls whether a timeshift recording is automatically deleted after viewing it. This obsoletes the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch. Note that the meaning of the values for this option is different from the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch: 0 means timeshift recordings are not automatically deleted (the default behavior as in previous versions), while 1 means to ask the user whether the recording shall be deleted. - Added cChannel::IsSourceType() to test if a channel's source is of a given type. - Changed the polarization characters in cDvbSourceParam::GetOsdItem() to uppercase. - The full timer file name is now displayed if it ends with "TITLE" or "EPISODE" (pointed out by Udo Richter). - Fixed "attempt to drop wrong frame from ring buffer" when skipping +/- one minute during replay. - The new setup option "Folders in timer menu" controls whether the file names in the timer menu are shown with their full folder path.	2010-03-14 11:56:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	09a17d56e2	Version 1.7.12 ... - Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group". - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of folders stored in "folders.conf". - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt). - Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 1800. - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again. - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 3600. - The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible. When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo() - The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format.	2010-01-31 15:42:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	939081e274	Version 1.7.11 ... - Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file. - The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source. - Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to Matthieu Castet). - Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive(). - Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly). - Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses" to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf. If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'. - cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created. - Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt(). - cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids. - cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids (thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use). - cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel). - cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types. - The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing capability. - Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version 1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs). - Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to Anssi Hannula). IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of its base class. - Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments" in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores the genre using the tag character 'G'. - Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores the parental rating using the tag character 'R'. IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences! - Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste. - After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds, so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all the others on the same adapter. - Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to Anssi Hannula).	2010-01-06 13:34:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ea01358b3b	Version 1.7.10 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc. (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number (reported by Timothy D. Lenz). - Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de. - Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward compatible). - Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame. - Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt() (reported by Rene van den Braken). - Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame. - Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole GOP into one payload unit. - The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated). - The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to EAGAIN if the buffer is already full. - Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio() (thanks to Andreas Schaefers). - Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway. - Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by Diego Pierotto).	2009-11-22 15:58:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	06bf4c453e	Version 1.7.9 ... - Fixed storing the current OSD size in case the device has changed it in its setup menu (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() in case only part of the buffer has been accepted by the device (reported by Udo Richter). - Changed the EIT filter setup to save a few handles on devices that do hardware filtering. - Fixed deleting expired timers if they have the VPS flag set, but the event they are assigned to doesn't have a VPS tag. - Fixed handling file name length on VFAT systems in case they contain UTF-8 characters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed generating CaPmts in case audio and video are encrypted using different ECM pids. - Updated vdr.1 to use the new file names in recording directories. - Fixed cRecordings::DelByName() to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Increased the value of MAXFRAMESIZE to better suit HD recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented full handling of subtitling descriptors (thanks to Mikko Tuumanen).	2009-08-23 16:04:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ab6f2ccf42	Version 1.7.8 ... - The name of the function cDevice::GetVideoSize() wasn't very well chosen for its purpose of defining the optimum size of the OSD for the current output device. Therefore a new function named cDevice::GetOsdSize() has been introduced (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. cDevice::GetVideoSize() still exists and should return the actual size of the video material that is currently replayed. Note that because of the many possible aspect ratios for video material, the type of the Aspect parameter of GetVideoSize() has been changed to 'double', and the Aspect parameter in both functions is named differently, because it returns different values (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). Thanks to Oliver Endriss for his input on calculating the Aspect factor in GetOsdSize(). - Fixed the way the OSD size is determined on full featured DVB cards (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Increased MAXOSDHEIGHT to 1200 (suggested by Nicolas Huillard). - Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling. - Checking fd_video in cDvbDevice::GetVideoSize() to avoid error messages on systems with no real primary replay device (reported by Martin Neuditschko). - Added a note to cTsToPes::GetPes() about having to call it repeatedly, once it has returned a non-NULL value. - Added MPEG 1 handling to remux.c (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Fixed use of time_t in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Added missing update of lastOsdSizeUpdate. - EIT events are now only processed if a plausible system time is available, to avoid wrong handling of PDC descriptors (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Removed unused 'synced' member from cTsToPes (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note to cTsToPes about all TS packets having to belong to the same PID, and that for video data GetPes() may only be called if the next TS packet that will be given to PutTs() has the "payload start" flag set (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note about the meaning of PERCENTAGEDELTA in cRingBuffer::UpdatePercentage() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "Recording/Pause key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Pause key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Added a note about cFont::GetFont() not being thread-safe. - Fixed generating PAT/PMT version numbers in case the PIDs change during recording (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Fixed a memory leak when reaching the end of a recording during replay (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed calling close(-1) in cUnbufferedFile::Close() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a workaround for the broken linux-dvb driver header files (based on a patch from Tobias Grimm). - Fixed handling the length of DiSEqC command sequences (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cOsdMenu::Display() in case the menu size has changed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added some missing 'const' keywords to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Ville Skyttä and Ludwig Nussel). - Modified cSVDRP::CmdGRAB() to avoid writing into const data (reported by Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed calculating menu colum widths in case the font has a size other than the default size (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a plausibility check for the OSD percentage parameters to avoid problems in case the values are stored in the setup.conf file in a wrong way. - Fixed variable types in cIndexFile (reported by Udo Richter).	2009-06-14 13:49:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	733a2becc4	Version 1.7.6 ... - cDevice::PlayTs() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes. - Made MAXFRAMESIZE a multiple of TS_SIZE to avoid breaking up TS packets. - No longer resetting the patPmtParser in cDevice::PlayTs(), because this caused the selected audio and subtitle tracks to fall back to the default. - The SVDRP command PUTE now supports reading the EPG data from a given file (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Added cThread::SetIOPriority() and using it in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed the MEGABYTE() macro to make it correctly handle parameters resulting in values larger than 2GB. - Added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() to PLUGINS.html (was missing since it had been implemented). - Fixed distortions when switching to the next file during replay. - Fixed detecting the frame rate for streams with PTS distances of 1800, which apparently split one frame over two payload units. - Added missing 'const' to cRecording::FramesPerSecond() (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Any TS packets in the first "frame" after a cut in an edited recording that don't belong to a payload unit that started in that frame now get their TEI flag set, so that a decoder will ignore them together with any PES data collected for that PID so far (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting chirping sound disturbences at editing points in TS recordings). - cDvbPlayer::Empty() subtracts 1 from readIndex, because Action() will first increment it. - Only storing non-zero Pts values in ptsIndex. - Added a note to the INSTALL file about using subdirectories to split a large disk into separate areas for VDR's video data and other stuff (suggested by Udo Richter).	2009-04-26 12:19:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1aadb31fb3	Version 1.7.5 ... - Fixed a hangup when replaying a TS recording with subtitles activated (reported by Timo Helkio). - Fixed handling the 'new' indicator in the recordings menu for TS recordings (thanks to Derek Kelly). - Added cap_sys_nice to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added cRecordingInfo::GetEvent() (thanks to Marcel Unbehaun). - Improved synchronizing the progress display, trick modes and subtitle display to the actual audio/video. This now works independent of any buffer sizes the output device might use. + The cBackTrace class has been replaced with cPtsIndex, which keeps track of the PTS timestamps of recently played frames. + cDevice::GetSTC() is now required to deliver the STC even in trick modes. It is sufficient if it returns the PTS of the most recently presented audio/video frame. + The full-featured DVB cards need an improved firmware in order to return proper STC values in trick modes (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 firmware). - Adapted cFrameDetector::Analyze() to HD NTSC broadcasts that split frames over several payload units (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting this and helping in testing). - Modified cFrameDetector::Analyze() to make it process whole frames at once, so that file I/O overhead is minimized during recording (reported by Günter Niedermeier). - Added command line help for the '-i' option. - Fixed cDvbPlayer::NextFile() to handle files larger than 2GB (thanks to Jose Alberto Reguero). - Improved replay at the begin and end of a recording. The very first and very last frame is now sent to the output device repeatedly until GetSTC() reports that it has been played. cDvbPlayer::Action() no longer calls DeviceFlush() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for making sure vdr-xine no longer needs this). - Added missing '[]' to the delete operator in cMenuEditStrItem::~cMenuEditStrItem(). - Added missing virtual destructor to cPalette. - Now freeing configDirectory before setting it to a new value in cPlugin::SetConfigDirectory(). - Fixed a crash when jumping to an editing mark in an audio recording. - Fixed the 'VideoOnly' condition in the PlayPes() and PlayTs() calls in cDvbPlayer::Action() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - cDevice::PlayTs() now plays as many TS packets as possible in one call. - Making sure any floating point numbers written use a decimal point (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing out a problem with the F record in the info file of a recording). - Fixed detecting the frame rate for radio recordings. - Added missing AUDIO_PAUSE/AUDIO_CONTINUE calls to cDvbDevice (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer writing the video type into channels.conf if VPID is 0 (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this). - Improved efficiency of cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).	2009-04-12 11:39:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	084e16c057	Version 1.7.4 ... - Removed the '#define FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION', since it was wrong and the flag is now in the driver, anyway. - The full-featured DVB cards are now given the TS data directly for replay (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 driver to make it replay TS data). The patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_ts_replay__1.diff implements this change in the driver. The patch av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff mentioned in version 1.7.2 is still necessary to avoid audio and video glitches on some channels. - Added a typecast in cUnbufferedFile::Write() to avoid an error message when compiling on 64 bit systems. - Added some missing 'const' statements to cBitmap (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Fixed returning complete PES packets in cTsToPes::GetPes() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing Detach() in cTransfer::Activate() (thanks to Marco Schl��ler). - Added clearing the TS buffers in cDevice::Detach() (thanks to Marco Schl��ler). - Fixed incrementing the continuity counter in cPatPmtGenerator::GetPmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed removing deleted recordings in case there is a problem. Once a recording caused a problem with removing, no others were removed any more and an ongoing recording could fill up the disk and cause other recordings to be deleted automatically (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added "DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to Make.config.template (thanks to Johann Friedrichs for pointing this out). Plugin authors should add this line to their Makefile or Make.config if they use file access functions that need special versions for 64 bit offsets. - The new command line option -i can be used to set an "instance id", which will be used to distinguish recordings of the same broadcast made by different instances of VDR (suggested by Frank Schmirler). This replaces the use of the "resume id" that was introduced in version 1.7.3. - Added checking mutexCurrentAudioTrack to cDevice::PlayTs() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing this out). - Fixed handling the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Frank Schmirler - sorry I swapped two lines when adopting the original patch). - Checking the remaining packet length after processing the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePat() and cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Checking the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() only in 'payload start' packets (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Changed cPatPmtGenerator to make sure the PMT pid doesn't collide with any of the actual pids of the channel. - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsAudio() and made cDevice::PlayTsVideo() return 0 if PlayVideo() didn't play anything. - Added an 'int' typecast to calculations involving FramesPerSecond() to avoid compiler warnings (reported by Winfried Koehler). - Fixed detecting frames for pure audio recordings. - Fixed editing PES recordings. The frame type in the index.vdr file generated for the edited PES recording is set to 1 for I-frames and 2 for all others (P- and B-frames). The exact frame type doesn't matter for VDR, it only needs to know if it's an I-frame or not. - The PAT/PMT is now only processed if its version changes (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the maximum video file size (reported by Udo Richter). - Improved fast-forward/-rewind for audio recordings. The actual data is now sent to the output device, so that it can be replayed and thus cause the proper delay. For pure audio recordings the audio is no longer muted in fast-forward/-rewind mode, so that some orientation regarding the position within the recording is possible. There may still be some offset in the replay position displayed by the progress indicator when switching from fast-forward/-rewind to play mode, as well as in the current position during normal play mode. This is due to the various buffers between the player and the output device and will be addressed later. Note the new function cDevice::IsPlayingVideo(), which is used to inform the player whether there is video data in the currently replayed stream. If a derived cDevice class reimplements PlayTs() or PlayPes(), it also needs to make sure this new function works as expected.	2009-01-25 13:13:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c296647594	Version 1.7.3 ... - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling the 'pointer field' in generating and parsing PAT/PMT (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed handling modulation types for DVB-S transponders when processing the NIT. - Changed cDvbDevice::GrabImage() to use V4L2 (thanks to Marco Schl��ler). - Added a poll to cDvbDevice::PlayVideo() and cDvbDevice::PlayAudio() to avoid excessive CPU load (this is just a makeshift solution until the FF DVB cards can play TS directly). - The recording format is now Transport Stream. Existing recordings in PES format can still be replayed and edited, but new recordings are done in TS. All code for recording in PES has been removed. The following changes were made to switch to TS recording format: + The index file format has been changed to support file sizes of up to 1TB (previously 2GB), and up to 65535 separate files per recording (previously 255). + The recording file names are now of the form 00001.ts (previously 001.vdr). + The frame rate is now detected by looking at two subsequent PTS values. The "frame duration" (in multiples of 1/90000) is stored in the info.vdr file using the new tag F (thanks to Artur Skawina for helping to get the IndexToHMSF() calculation right). + Several functions now have an additional parameter FramesPerSecond. + Several functions now have an additional parameter IsPesRecording. + The functionality of cFileWriter was moved into cRecorder, and cRemux is now obsolete. This also avoids one level of data copying while recording. + cRemux, cRingBufferLinearPes, cTS2PES and all c*Repacker classes have been removed. + A PAT/PMT is inserted before every independent frame, so that no extra measures need to be taken when editing a recording. + The directory name for a recording has been changed from YYYY-MM-DD-hh[.:]mm.pr.lt.rec (pr=priority, lt=lifetime) to YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec (ch=channel, ri=resumeId). Priority and Lifetime are now stored in the info.vdr file with the new tags P and L (if no such file exists, the maximum values are assumed by default, which avoids inadvertently deleting a recording if disk space is low). No longer storing Priority and Lifetime in the directory name avoids starting a new recording if one of these is changed in the timer and the recording is re-started for some reason. Instead of Priority and Lifetime, the directory name now contains the channel number from which the recording was made, and the "resume id" of this instance of VDR. This avoids problems if several VDR instances record the same show on different channels, or even on the same channel. The '-' between channel number and resumeId prevents older versions of VDR from "seeing" these recordings, which makes sure they won't even try to replay them, or remove them in case the disk runs full. + The semantics of PlayTs*() have been changed. These functions are now required to return the given Length (which is TS_SIZE) if they have processed the TS packet. + The files "index", "info", "marks" and "resume" within a TS recording directory are now created without the ".vdr" extension. + The "resume" file is no longer a binary file, but contains tagged lines to be able to store additional information, like the selected audio or subtitle track. + cDevice::StillPicture() will now be called with either TS or PES data. + cDvbPlayer::Goto() no longer appends a "sequence end code" to the data. If the output device needs this, it has to take care of it by itself. - Fixed cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() to reset vpid and vtype when switching from a video to an audio channel (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - cDvbDevice now uses the FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION flag to determine whether a device can handle DVB-S2. The #define is still there to allow people with older drivers who don't need DVB-S2 to use this version without pathcing.	2009-01-06 20:31:53 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c848ab793a	Version 1.7.1 ... - Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile. - Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used by broadcasters from the beginning. - Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1". This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that they can correctly encode the strings. - No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig). - Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork). - First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format: + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets. + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively. + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets. + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes the TS data in Transfer Mode. + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a TS in order to find out which streams it contains. + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet. + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more. It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary device's PlayTs(). + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread. + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES packets. + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign. - Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting. - Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h (reported by Tobias Grimm).	2008-09-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	771986b89f	Version 1.7.0 ... - Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to the previous version of VDR! - Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).	2008-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	83d7a4b783	Version 1.5.16 ... - Fixed setting the current subtitle track in Transfer-Mode (reported by Petri Helin, thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing out that cDevice::Transferring() doesn't return the right value in the early stage of channel switching). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse). - Fixed various spelling errors and improved PLUGINS.html (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed the format in cRemote::Put() to use "%016llX" instead of "%016LX" (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Revised the fix of calculating the scrollbar height in the skins. The scrollbar handle now always has a height that is at least the width of the scrollbar. - When switching the device that's used for live viewing away from the current transponder in favor of an upcoming recording, an attempt is now made to stay on the current channel by possibly going into 'Transfer Mode'. - The CAM menu now stays open as long as it is automatically updated, even without pressing a remote control key. This is important when updating the CAM firmware from the transponder. - No longer trying to switch to an available channel if the primary device has no valid programme and a menu is open (avoids interference with the CAM in case a CAM menu is open). - Increased the valid range of the "Subtitle offset" setup option to -100...100 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the backslash ('\') to the list of characters that need to be escaped when executing external commands (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one).	2008-02-24 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9279cb21cd	Version 1.5.15 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types. - Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear in version 1.7.0. Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters. - Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse). - Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on a suggestion by Martin Wache). - Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin. - Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay, to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola). - The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()). - Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins, to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Walter Koch). - Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because it applies to non-VPS recordings as well. - Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT. - Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load(). - Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe) avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay. - Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with --vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter. - When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed) recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory) are no longer taken into account. - When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s). This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems, which would not add any free space to the video directory. - Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers (based on a patch from Benedikt Elser). - Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin. - Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin. - Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*() should be used. - Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins.	2008-02-17 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	182cd78af0	Version 1.5.11 ... - Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä); - Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter). - Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter). - Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering strings (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets". - Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active. - Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode. - Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi). - Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target of their Makefiles. - Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer).	2007-11-04 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	dbf38b7c68	Version 1.5.10 ... - Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing subtitle handling in VDR). - The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list of available subtitles. - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the preferred languages for subtitles. - Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode. - Implemented subtitle track selection. - Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors. - Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location of the subtitles in the vertical direction. - The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency" define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background color of subtitles. - Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in X 3 03 ger deutsch (see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence, so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording. - Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with --no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by Denis Knauf). - Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Christian Wieninger). - Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On' is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to Elias Luttinen). - Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the 'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file. Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n' target in their Makefiles, as in i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo) (based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel). - Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn). Same for the assign operator. - Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn). - Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).	2007-10-14 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b1e4da3be6	Version 1.5.4 ... - Increased APIVERSION (forgot to do that in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3). - Fixed a crash in i18n character set conversion (thanks to Alexander Riedel, Jose Alberto Reguero and Christian Wieninger for patches that cured part of the problem). - Adjusted the 'skincurses' plugin to UTF-8 handling. - Using nl_langinfo(CODESET) to determine the local codeset to use (thanks to Thomas Günther). The codeset names in 'libsi/si.c' have been changed to the canonical spelling with '-' (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Modified handling invalid characters in VFAT mode. - Replaced strn0cpy() with Utf8Strn0Cpy() where necessary. - Now using 'fontconfig' to determine which fonts to use (thanks to Anssi Hannula for code and hints on how to do this). - If no fonts are installed, VDR now uses a dummy font that doesn't actually draw any text, and logs an error message. - The new function cFont::CreateFont() can be used by plugins to create and use fonts of their own, independent of VDR's standard fonts. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the parameter "OSD font" to "Default font" in "Setup/OSD" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling detached processes in SystemExec() (thanks to Udo Richter). - The info.vdr file now also stores the name of the channel, and the new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelName() returns this information if available (based on a patch from Alexander Hans). - The new function cOsd::SetOsdPosition() can be used to dynamically change the position and size of the OSD (based on a request from Christoph Haubrich). Plugins that implement skins should no longer use Setup.OSDWidth etc. directly, but should rather use cOsd::OsdWidth() etc. instead. Currently a change to the OSD position will only apply to newly opened OSDs.	2007-06-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	948c370a29	Version 1.4.3-1 ... - The function cThread::Cancel() now only sets 'running' to false and does not actually kill the thread if the special value -1 is given (suggested by Udo Richter). - Changed the I18nNormalizeLanguageCode() check to also allow blanks (and all other printable characters) in the language codes (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that there are stations that use blanks in these codes). Blanks are replaced with underlines, so that all parts of VDR that rely on language codes to be one word (without blanks) work as expected. - Now clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description if there is no ShortEventDescriptor or ExtendedEventDescriptor, respectively (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting that events without an ExtendedEventDescriptor may get duplicate information in their ShortText through the EPG bugfixes in case they are received again). - Fixed handling video directory updates in case an other process has touched the .update file after the last NeedsUpdate() check (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed handling language codes and descriptions of recorded audio tracks on channels with multiple tracks where not all of them appear in the event data (reported by Boguslaw Juza).	2006-10-08 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d495ed1a3e	Version 1.4.2-3 ... - Added --remove-destination to the 'cp' command for binaries in the Makefiles of the plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The 'skincurses' plugin now adjusts the size of the OSD to the size of the console window. - Fixed deleting expired VPS timers (under certain conditions a timer could have been deleted before it even started recording). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Fixed handling video directory updates in case the timestamp of the .update file is in the future (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).	2006-09-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	33f1491b18	Version 1.4.1-3 ... - Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume() bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks to Udo Richter). - The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2). - Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording, or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min. event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is "Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future. - Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter). - Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.	2006-08-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	529fc7b48a	Version 1.4.0 ... - Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a recording is going on and no plugin is active (thanks to Udo Richter; bug reported by Dominique Simon). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Fixed a memory leak in handling external EPG data (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Fixed a memory leak in closing the video file during replay (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino and Antonio Ospite). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).	2006-04-30 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	880c3ddb94	Version 1.3.48 ... - Updated the GPL copies (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active(). - Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single 'sed' call. - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch). - Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile (based on a suggestion by Udo Richter). - Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems (thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out that the 'z' modifier should be used here). - Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).	2006-04-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	293ed4027e	Version 1.3.47 ... - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther). - Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren Salt). - Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem. - Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported by Thomas Günther). - Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey(). - Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt). - Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv). - The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay. - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details. - Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz). - In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your own, you should add the lines ifdef DVBDIR INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include endif to its end, as in the new Make.config.template. Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

When updating to this version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because the values have been shifted. - The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/s/^.*"\(.*\)".*$$/\1/p' $(VDRDIR)/config.h) ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin). - Added format check to syslog_with_tid(). - Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory (since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog timer won't hit). - Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny Kornexl). - No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is no need to actually rename them. - The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails. - The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.	2006-04-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	396d0ad367	Version 1.3.46 ... - Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how to detect these). - Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti). - Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E' (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff). - Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem. - VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time. This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks). - When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than one VPS timer is about to start. - Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the margin. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the timer's transponder. - Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer Mode for live tv isn't interrupted. - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected, respectively. - The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous" menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil). - When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or --version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter). - Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (reported by Joachim Wilke).	2006-04-09 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	49b561fcad	Version 1.3.45 ... - Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu. - Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers. - cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the given min and max limits. - The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers. - Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help"). - Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false (thanks to Werner Fink). - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). - Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been deleted (reported by Hardy Flor). - Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of disk space (reported by Jan Lenz). - Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early). - Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer. - Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it then returns the one that just ended). - Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed (reported by Helmut Auer). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker). - Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Enhanced logging EPG event data. - Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt). - The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data' or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events. - The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning for events before the present event. - Fixed some #include sequences. - Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning. - The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds.	2006-03-26 19:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9d12ac30f0	Version 1.3.44 ... - Fixed setting the audio language codes in 'Transfer-Mode' (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). The actual problem was the call to the Transferring() function in cDevice::AttachPlayer() before assigning the player. - Fixed removing the '-' when entering a channel number where there is no other one that fits the input (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed the 'libsi' function CharArray::checkSize(), which made a previous workaround in libsi/descriptor.c obsolete (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - The "Ok" key in the "Jump" mode of the replay progress display now confirms the jump instead of closing the display (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The 'summary' field of a timer definition has been renamed to 'aux', and is now only used for external applications to store auxiliary information with a timer, which has no meaning whatsoever to VDR itself. The contents of the 'aux' field of a timer is copied into the recording's 'info.vdr' file, using the tag character '@'. - The description of a recording is now taken exclusively from its related EPG data. If an application wants to use a different description it needs to set it with SVDRP/PUTE and use table ID 0x00, so that it won't be overwritten (as a side effect, however, this also disables VPS for such an event). - There is no more "Summary" menu when pressing "Ok" in the "Timers" menu. The "Ok" key now always opens the "Edit timer" menu. - The upper 16 bit of a timer's "flags" are no longer treated specially when a timer is modified in the "Edit timer" menu. If an external application needs to know if a timer was modified, it has to keep a copy of the timer's data and compare that to the actual data. - The new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() can be used to retrieve the ID of the channel a recording was made from. - The 'info.vdr' file of a recording now also contains the 'E' and 'V' records of the EPG event used when creating it. - The option "Setup/OSD/Sort timers" has been removed. Timers are always sorted by their start time and priority. - The "Blue" key in the "Timers" menu now displays the EPG info of the event the selected timer will record (if available). The "On/Off" function has been shifted to the "Red" button. Editing a timer is done by pressing "Ok". - When determining which event a timer is going to record, all available events in the future are now taken into account (no more limit to 4 hours in the future). This has been done so that the event info is available in the "Timers" menu when pressing the "Blue" button. In order to avoid unnecessary work, each timer now has its own timestamp to control whether its schedule has changed since the last time its event has been set. - Fixed setting events to timers in case a non-VPS event has expired. - There is now a log message "timer ... set to event ..." when defining a timer from the EPG menu. - Lines tagged with '#' in the 'info.vdr' file of a recording are now silently ignored when reading that file (suggested by Peter Bieringer). Such lines can be used by external tools to store arbitrary information. - The 'event id' in EPG data has been extended to 32 bit, so that external tools can generate ids that don't collide with those from the DVB data stream (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - The DrawBitmap() function now has a new parameter 'Overlay' that allows a bitmap to be drawn with a transparent background (thanks to Alexander Hans). - Fixed cSchedule::GetFollowingEvent() in case there is currently no present event running (thanks to Pekka Mauno).	2006-02-26 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b9bfba20f2	Version 1.3.43 ... - Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur Skawina). - The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a string item (suggested by Markus Hahn). - Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts. - Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of 'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete() so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0. - Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of two codes, separated by '+'. - If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel, the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the channel's PID data. - Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken. - Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original" network id.	2006-02-19 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c23992b807	Version 1.3.42 ... - Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record (reported by Thomas Koch). - Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of your texts. - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter). - Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary) device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by Reinhard Nissl). - The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option when you call 'runvdr'. - Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu (reported by Christian Jacobsen). - Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by Sebastian Frei). - Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt). - Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer). - Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).	2006-02-05 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	446b0e8e0b	Version 1.3.40 ... - Fixed a second place where a message should be given when an instant recording is started (reported by Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Modified logging so that even on NPTL systems each line in the log file shows the individual thread's pid (based on a suggestion from Francois-Xavier Kowalski). - Fixed a problem with @plugin in keymacros.conf in case the named plugin is not loaded (reported by Franz Gangkofer). - Fixed a crash after executing the SVDRP command CLRE, caused by dangling 'schedule' pointers from cChannel objects (reported by Malte Schröder). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Improved NULL checking in strreplace(). - Fixed a crash in the Schedule menu with events that have no title (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now assigns a "No title" string to events that have no title. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Recordings are now only started if there is at least 300MB free disk space (suggested by Markus Hahn). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the cursor now automatically advances (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Polish OSD texts and the fontosd-iso8859-2.c file (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you really need it - it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card). - Switching channels with the Up/Down or Channel+/Channel- keys now works a lot faster when the repeat function kicks in, by not actually switching the channel every time, but rather only displaying the channel info and doing the final switch when the key is released. - The channel display is now updated _before_ the channel is switched. - Added a missing initialization of 'timeout' in the cDisplayChannel constructor. - Fixed detecting if there can be any useful further input when entering channel numbers (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Fixed handling the '0' key for switching between the last two channels (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).	2006-01-22 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	da948a50d2	Version 1.3.38 ... - Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels (was broken in version 1.3.37). - Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers. - Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach). - Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems). - When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt). - Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch). - Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before actually removing it. The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started. - Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger). - Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground and background threads won't interfere. - The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant recording or replay stops, etc. - The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file (thanks to Kendy Kutzner). - EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are now automatically deleted. - Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent(). - Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time). - Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00). - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer is set or modified. - cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the event it has been set to. - The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'. If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit timer" menu for that timer. - Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread. - Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff. - Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h). - The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit 'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but has no meaning any more. - The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage() need to be adapted to the new interface. - The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class). - The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection (encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt). A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is: svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display - - The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double '/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is not allowed any more because of potential security risks. - Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña): + The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links (suggested by Darren Salt). + The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any ".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt). + Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal" in VDR ;-). - When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id, keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root', but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to use the '-u' option. - Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(), so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from Jürgen Schneider). - Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer). - Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). - The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon. - Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner). - Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger). - Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by Holger Wächtler). - The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD, the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti). - The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke). - A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't remember why it wasn't active... - Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan). - Preceded all button texts with "Button$". - Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts. - Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill). - Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line //#define USE_FADVISE in tools.c. - Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem. - In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for details). - The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric sort modes. - The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if this is a menu. - The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys. - Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed. - In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben). - Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by Andreas Böttger). - The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed. - Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM. - Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling. - Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo Schneider). - Cleaned up some trailing white space.	2006-01-08 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	812ab9018c	Version 1.3.36 ... - Fixed a NULL pointer access with the cUnbufferedFile when a replay session runs all the way until the end of the recording (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - A menu is no longer automatically closed when a replay ends (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Removed '\n' from several syslog() calls (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed missing '&' in the SetAreas() example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed a memory leak in cString::operator=() (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Maarten Wisse). - cReadLine now dynamically allocates its buffer, so that it can handle lines of any length. - Changed cConfig::Load() to use cReadLine instead of a fixed buffer (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting a problem with extremely long summary fields in timers). - cSVDRP now dynamically allocates its command buffer in order to handle commands of any length. The MAXPARSEBUFFER macro is now obsolete and has been removed. If a plugin has used that macro, it should either define a buffer size of its own, or use cReadLine when reading files. - Fixed a race condition in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The EPG scan no longer disturbs players that have also set live PIDs (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed setting the help key display in the Recordings menu in case of several layers of subdirectories. - Removed EPG bugfix #0, because it removed actually important data.	2005-11-06 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	99e3c093f4	Version 1.3.35 ... - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Philip Prindeville). - Now using daemon() instead of fork() to run VDR in daemon mode (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Fixed a possible endless loop in a menu with no selectable items if Setup.MenuScrollWrap is true (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Making sure no item is displayed as "current" if Up, Down, Left or Right is pressed in a menu with no selectable items. - Added '__attribute__' to functions that use printf() like parameters (thanks to Darren Salt). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.1 (reported by Christoph Hermanns). - Added more error messages and line numbers when reading EPG data and info.vdr (thanks to Peter Bieringer). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Added missing mutex locks to cCiMenu::Abort() and cCiEnquiry::Abort() (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed lock handling in CAM communication to avoid problems with multiple CAMs per device or CAMs with more than one smart card. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Nicolas Huillard). - Fixed the cFilter example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Patrick Fischer). - The new class cUnbufferedFile is used for the recording files to avoid trashing the file system cache (based on a patch by Ralf Müller).	2005-10-31 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	88d8d63408	Version 1.3.34 ... - Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.5 (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). - Fixed opening recording folders in case the last replayed recording no longer exists (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed an unjustified "Error while accessing recording!" after deleting a recording from a subfolder. - Fixed handling the '.update' file in case the video directory is not at the default location (reported by Jon Burgess). - Fixed a crash in cConfig::Load() when compiling on the PPC (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the FATALERRNO macro to check for a non-zero errno value (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Added a check against MAXOSDAREAS in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed setting current menu item if the first one is non-selectable. - cOsdItem::cOsdItem() now has a 'Selectable' parameter. - Improved displaying 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu. - Added status message "Resetting CAM..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM reset has been triggered. - The CAM menu now automatically updates itself in case of a progress display (as used, for instance, when updating the firmware via satellite). - Now skipping some funny characters sent by some CAMs at the beginning of strings. - The CAM menu is now completely closed when pressing the Menu key while inside a sub menu. - Reduced MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES in ci.c to 2 (waiting too long made the whole thing appear hanging). - Added status message "Opening CAM menu..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM menu has been requested. - Speeded up initial opening of the CAM menu. - Fixed handling of menus with no selectable items. - The character 0x8A in CAM menu strings is now mapped to a real newline. - The 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu can now consist of several lines. - Improved the CAM enquiry menu.	2005-10-03 18:00:00 +02:00
