WARNING:
========
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive
environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
From the HISTORY file:
- No longer logging an error message in DirSizeMB() if the given directory doesn't
exist. This avoids lots of log entries in case several VDRs use the same video
directory and one of them has already physically removed a recording directory,
while the others still have it in their list of deleted recordings.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- A cCamSlot that has WantsTsData set to true in its constructor now also gets
the CAT and EMM PIDs data.
- Fixed a possible division by zero in frame rate detection.
- VDR now reads command line options from *.conf files in /etc/vdr/conf.d (thanks
to Lars Hanisch). See vdr.1 and vdr.5 for details.
- Fixed a possible crash in the LCARS skin (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- Updated the dvbhddevice plugin source.
- Fixed a bug in the Makefile when installing plugins with LCLBLD=1 (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt).
- The pid of the PMT in which the CA descriptors of a given channel are broadcast
is now stored together with the CA descriptors and can be retrieved by calling
GetPmtPid() (this information is only required to receive encrypted channels
with the OctopusNet receiver via the 'satip' plugin).
- Channels that are not listed in the SDT are now only marked as OBSOLETE if
"Setup/DVB/Update channels" is set to a value other than "no" or "PIDs only".
- Fixed multiple OBSOLETE marks in channels that are not listed in the SDT in case
"Setup/Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source" is set to "yes".
- The new function cOsd::DrawScaledBitmap() is now used for drawing subtitles.
This function can be reimplemented by high level OSDs which may be able to do
the scaling in hardware or otherwise more efficiently (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- Fixed detaching receivers from devices in case a CAM needs to receive the TS
(reported by Dietmar Spingler).
- Fixed resetting the receiver for EMM pids for CAMs that need to receive the TS
(reported by Dietmar Spingler).
- Fixed (well, actually worked around) a problem with subtitles not being displayed
because the broadcaster doesn't set the data's version numbers as required by the
DVB standard (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer).
- Added a missing backslash to the help text of the SVDRP command MOVR (thanks to
Lars Hanisch).
- Added subsystem id support for DVB devices connected via USB (thanks to Jose
Alberto Reguero).
- Added the functions IndexOf(), InsertUnique(), AppendUnique() and RemoveElement()
to the cVector class (thanks to Stefan Schallenberg).
- Fixed a possible out-of-bounds access in cVector::Remove().
- Added functions to set and retrieve the priority of a cReceiver (suggested by
Frank Schmirler).
- Added the new parameters "Setup/Miscellaneous/Volume steps" and
".../Volume linearize" (thanks to Claus Muus). See the MANUAL for details.
- Fixed jumping to an absolute position via the Red key in case replay was paused
(reported by Dieter Ferdinand).
- Changed the German weekday names from "MonDieMitDonFreSamSon" to
"Mo.Di.Mi.Do.Fr.Sa.So." (thanks to Stefan Blochberger).
- Now handling CAT sections that consist of more than one TS packet.
- Added handling for DTS audio tracks to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to
Thomas Reufer).
- Added support for PGS subtitles (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- Use of the function cOsd::GetBitmap() outside of derived classes is now deprecated,
and it may be made 'protected' in a future version, since it doesn't work with
TrueColor OSDs. Plugin authors may want to modify their code so that it
works without this function.
- Modified the descriptions of several threads, so that the important information
(like device or frontend numbers) is within the first 15 characters of the
string, because only these are displayed in thread listings. Plugin authors may
want to do the same.
- Added the channel name to log messages that reference a channel (suggested by
Dietmar Spingler).
- Modified the CAM API so that it is possible to implement CAMs that can be freely
assigned to any devices (thanks to Jasmin Jessich).
- Plugins can now implement the function SetMenuSortMode() in their skin objects
derived from cSkinDisplayMenu, to get informed about the currently used sort
mode, if applicable (suggested by Martin Schirrmacher).
- Added cOsdProvider::OsdSizeChanged(), which plugins that implement an output device
can call to signal a change in the OSD that requires a redraw of the currently
displayed object (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- Added a comment to cRecorder::Activate() about the need to call Detach() in the
destructor (suggested by Eike Sauer).
- Now returning from removing deleted recordings after at most 10 seconds, or if the
user presses a remote control key, to keep the system from getting unresponsive
when removing a huge number of files (reported by Dieter Ferdinand).
- Fixed generating the index file of an existing recording in case at the of a TS file
there is less data in the buffer than needed by the frame detector. In such a case
it was possible that frames were missed, and there was most likely a distortion
when replaying that part of a recording. This is mostly a problem for recordings that
consist of more than one *.ts file. Single file recordings could only lose some
frames at their very end, which probably doesn't matter. At any rate, if you have
generated an index file with VDR version 2.0.6, 2.1.5 or 2.1.6, you may want to
do so again with this version to make sure the index is OK.
- Added the new command line option --updindex, which can be used to update an
incomplete index of a recording (based on a patch from Helmut Auer).

Version 2.1.6
VDR developer version 2.1.6 is now available at
ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.6.tar.bz2

WARNING:
========
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive
environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
From the HISTORY file:
- Revoked "Fixed some compiler warnings with Clang 3.4.1" from ci.c, because this
did not compile with older versions of gcc (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Fixed keeping the current position in the Recordings menu if a recording was
deleted in a sub folder.
- Fixed handling transfer mode on full featured DVB cards for encrypted channels
that have no audio pid (reported by Christian Winkler).
- Fixed a possible endless loop in cH264Parser::GetGolombUe(), which caused recordings
on some HD channels to get stuck and resulted in buffer overflows.
- Fixed handling PAT packets when detecting frames, so that they can be properly
taken into account when regenerating the index of a recording.
- Fixed adding new source types in case they are already registered (reported by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Removed an unnecessary assignment from cMenuRecordings::~cMenuRecordings().
- The Recordings menu now remembers the last recording the cursor was positioned on,
independent of the last replayed recording. When a replay ends, however, the cursor
will initially be positioned to the last replayed recording again when the menu
is opened.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- Fixed drawing the live indicator in the LCARS skin in case there are no devices.
- When checking for obsolete channels, those with an RID that is not 0 are now
ignored (suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- The SDT is now only parsed *after* the NIT has been read, and it explicitly uses
the source value derived from the NIT. This should prevent new channels from being
created with the wrong source.
- Added a log message in case a receiver is detached from its device because the
assigned CAM can't decrypt the channel.
- Refactored setup parameter handling for output devices:
+ The function cDevice::GetVideoSystem() has been deprecated and will be removed
in a future version. In order to check whether a particular plugin needs to be
modified if this function is removed, you can comment out the line
#define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM
in device.h.
+ Handling the "video (display) format" (things like 16:9, 4:3, pan&scan, letterbox
etc) shall now be done by the individual output devices, because the types and
numbers of parameters are too device specific. The Setup/DVB parameters
"Video format" and "Video display format" are still there for now and can be used
by SD devices. HD devices, however, shall not use these parameters (any more),
but rather implement their own setup menu with the necessary parameters for
controlling output.
+ The dvbhdffdevice plugin has been modified accordingly.
+ Made it clear that cDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() merely tells the output device
that the current audio track is Dolby Digital. This function was only used by the
original "full featured" DVB cards - do not use it for new developments!
If an output device has several ways of replaying audio (like HDMI or analog jack)
it shall implement the proper options in its plugin's SetupMenu() function.
- Added support for "Pilot", "T2-System-Id" and "SISO/MISO" parameters (thanks to
Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Now initializing the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of cRecording when
scanning the video directory, so that it won't cause a delay when opening the menu
on a system with a large number of recordings.
- Now resetting the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of a cRecording to -1 after
renaming it, so that it will be re-checked upon the next call to
IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem().
- Added support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer). To activate this you
need to add "SDNOTIFY=1" to the 'make' call.

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.
Originally I intended to release this version only after the new DiSEqC
configuration dialog was finished. But in the meantime quite a few other things
have come up, so I decided to postpone that dialog and first release what has
piled up so far.
From the HISTORY file:
- Changed the return value of cPositioner::HorizonLongitude() to 0 in case the
latitude of the antenna location is beyond +/-81 degrees.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.6.3 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed the name of the SVDRP command RENR to MOVR (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- When cutting a recording it is now checked whether there is already an edited
version of this recording (with the same name, but starting with '%'), and the
user is prompted for confirmation to overwrite it (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Revoked "Added maximum signal strength value for TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.3P"
because it broke things for the "TechniSat AirStar 2" DVB-T card.
- The LIRC remote control now connects to the socket even if it doesn't yet exist when
VDR is started (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Changed the absolute latitude limit for visible satellites to 81.2 degrees.
- Added code for parsing LCN and AVC descriptors to libsi (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- In the "Select folder" menu pressing Ok now selects the folder, even if this is a
folder that contains sub folders (marked with "..."). To open such a folder you
can press the Red key.
- Fixed a possible access to uninitialized data in cEIT::cEIT() (reported by Dominik
Strasser).
- The new menu category mcRecordingEdit is now used to mark menus that edit recording
properties (suggested by Stefan Braun).
- Changes in the teletext PID no longer cause retuning (and thus interrupting a
recording).
- Removed '_' from the FileNameChars and CharMap translations in uk_UA.po.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed a missing initialization in the c'tor of cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel (thanks to
Marko Mäkelä).
- Simplified some conditional expressions in skinlcars.c and skinsttng.c (suggested
by Marko Mäkelä).
- Fixed uninitialized item area coordinates in cSkinLCARSDisplayMenu (reported by
Marko Mäkelä).
- Fixed a possible crash if the recordings list is updated externally while the
Recordings menu is open (reported by Lars Hanisch).
- Added a missing closing ')' in the help and man page entry of the --vfat option
(reported by Lars Hanisch).
- Fixed setting the name of the video directory to avoid a crash when using --genindex,
and also to use the correct directory with --edit (the latter reported by Marko
Mäkelä).
- The Recordings menu can now be called with a cRecordingFilter, which allows the
caller to have it display only a certain subset of the recordings (thanks to Lars
Hanisch).
- Added handling UTF-8 'umlaut' characters to cKbdRemote (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Made it clear that the Data parameter in cDevice::StillPicture() may point to a
series of packets, not just a single one (thanks to Thomas Reufer).
- cDevice::TrickSpeed() now has an additional parameter named Forward, which indicates
the direction in which replay is being done (suggested by Thomas Reufer). This
information may be necessary for some output devices in order to properly implement
trick modes. Authors of plugins that implement output devices will need to add this
parameter to their derived cDevice class, regardless of whether they will make use
of it or not.
- Added a note to ePlayMode in device.h that VDR itself always uses pmAudioVideo when
replaying a recording (suggested by Thomas Reufer).
- Fixed some spellings in positioner.h and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Changed '%a' to the POSIX compliant '%m' in all scanf() calls (thanks to Ville
Skyttä).
- The new function cCamSlot::Decrypt() can be used by derived classes to implement a
CAM slot that can be freely assigned to any device, without being directly inserted
into the full TS data stream in hardware. A derived class that implements Decrypt()
will also need to set the new parameter ReceiveCaPids in the call to the cCamSlot
base class constructor to true, in order to receive the CA pid TS packets that
contain data necessary for decrypting.
- Many member functions of cCamSlot have been made virtual to allow for easier
implementation of derived classes.
- cTSBuffer now provides the number of available bytes in its Get() function.
- cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() now calls CamSlot()->Decrypt() in order to allow CAM slots
that can be freely assigned to any device access to the TS data stream.
- Added a check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference in cCiSession::SendData()
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Deleted a superfluous assignment in cPipe::Open() (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called after the recording
process has actually started (thanks to Christian Kaiser).
- Avoiding unnecessary pkg-config warnings in plugin Makefiles (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
Plugin authors may want to apply the following change to their Makefile:
-PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr || pkg-config --variable=$(1) ../../../vdr.pc))
+PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:../../.." pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr))
- Eliminated MAXDVBDEVICES (suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Channels that are no longer contained in the current SDT of a transponder are now
marked with the keyword OBSOLETE in their name and provider fields. That way you can
identify obsolete channels when you switch to them, and you can get the complete
overview of all obsolete channels by sorting the Channels list by provider (by
pressing the 0 key twice). Automatic deletion of obsolete channels may follow later.

WARNING:
========
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive
environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed displaying DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for helping to debug and
understand subtitle page refreshes):
+ Fixed handling DVB subtitle fill region codes for 2 and 8 bpp.
+ Fixed handling pages without an explicit END_OF_DISPLAY_SET_SEGMENT.
The FINISHPAGE_HACK is no longer necessary.
+ Fixed handling "page refreshes". The data is now parsed and stored closer to the
DVB standard specs, introducing "object refs" and "region refs".
+ The debug output now goes into an HTML file named dbg-log.htm and shows the actual
bitmaps (dbg-nnn.jpg) used to display the subtitles. That way it is much easier to
see what's actually going on.
+ Fixed handling subtitles encoded as a string of characters (the very first
character was always skipped).
- Fixed wrong initialization of Setup.PositionerSwing (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cleaning up old EPG events in case no epg data file is given (reported by
Dave Pickles).
- Unified the internal sequence of actions when pressing the Blue and the Back key,
respectively, during replay (reported by Thomas Maass).
- The Yellow button in the main menu no longer acts as "Pause" if "Pause key handling"
is set to "do not pause live video" (suggested by Ulf Kiener).
- The code for distributing recordings over several video directories has been
removed. VDR now by default assumes that the video directory is one big disk.
If you absolutely need to use several separate disks to store recordings, you can
write a plugin that uses the new cVideoDirectory API to implement the necessary
functionality (see PLUGINS.html, section "The video directory"). You can copy the
respective code from previous versions of videodir.c.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you write a plugin that implements a distributed video directory,
=============== be sure to make cVideoDirectory::Rename() follow symbolic links!
This functionality was never implemented in VDR and it therefore
used a workaround in cutter.c. See the section marked with
// XXX this can be removed once RenameVideoFile() follows symlinks
in previous versions of cutter.c.
+ CloseVideoFile() is obsolete and has been removed.
+ The functions OpenVideoFile(), RenameVideoFile(), RemoveVideoFile(), VideoFileSpaceAvailable(),
VideoDiskSpace(), RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories(), IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem() and
PrefixVideoFileName() are now static members of cVideoDirectory and need to be called
with the proper prefix.
+ The name of the video directory is now available through cVideoDirectory::Name().
- Added renaming and moving recordings and folders, editing a recording's priority and
lifetime, and queueing cutting jobs (inspired by the "extrecmenu" plugin from Martin
Prochnow).
+ The "Recording info" menu now has a new Blue button named "Edit", which opens a
dialog in which several properties of the selected recording can be changed. It can
be renamed or moved into another folder and its priority and lifetime can be
modified (inspired by the "extrecmenu" plugin from Martin Prochnow).
The new blue "Edit" button in the "Recordings" menu opens a dialog in which a folder
can be renamed or moved. See MANUAL, section "Managing folders".
+ In the "Edit recording" menu the Yellow button ("Delete marks") allows you to delete
all editing marks of the selected recording.
+ cCutter is no longer a static class. Cutting requests should now be invoked by
calling RecordingsHandler.Add(ruCut, FileName). See the new cRecordingsHandler
class in recording.h.
+ Cutting jobs are now placed in a queue (together with any move or copy jobs) and
are processed one by one.
+ The new SVDRP command RENR can be used to rename a recording (suggested by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
+ Note that in several places in the source code a "copy" operation is mentioned,
however there is no user interface for this, yet.
- Changed some variable names in positioner.c to match the names used in the page with
the explanation on vdr-portal.de.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed writing group separators to channels.conf that contain a comma (reported by
Eike Edener).
- Now also checking the source (in addition to the transponder) when setting the
system time from the TDT, which avoids problems in case devices are tuned to the
same transponder on different sources, and these broadcast different time data
(reported by Torsten Lang).
- Changed cRecorder::Action() to use cTimeMs instead of time() to avoid problems with
unjustified "video data stream broken" errors in case the system time is changed
while a recording is active (reported by Torsten Lang).
- Revised the section on "Learning the remote control keys" in the INSTALL file to
avoid the impression that there actually is a default remote.conf file, and to
not use any alphabetic keys for special functions, so that they remain available
for textual input.
- The function cRecordings::MBperMinute() now only takes into account recordings with
less than 5 seconds per megabyte, in an attempt to filter out radio recordings
(thanks to Harald Koenig). The result of this function was way off any realistic
value in case there are many radio recordings in the video directory.
- Added maximum signal strength value for TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.3P (thanks
to Guido Cordaro).
- Fixed an inconsistent behavior between opening the Recordings menu manually via the
main menu and by pressing the Recordings key. In the latter case it automatically
opened all sub folders to position the cursor to the last replayed recording, which
is unexpected at this point (reported by Helmut Auer). You can still navigate to
the last replayed recording (if any) by pressing Ok repeatedly in the Recordings
menu.

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 adding basic support for positioners
to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position
and storing individual positions will follow later.
The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3
later, if there are no problems.
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks.
- Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than
one character (reported by Stefan Braun).
- Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html.
- Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from
Udo Richter).
- Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to
improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen
Dolze).
- Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is
used (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard
of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be
used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite.
- Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there
are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by
"Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there
are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric
characters" in version 1.7.36).
- Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas
Günther).
- Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just
one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf.
- Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script.
- Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported
by Stefan Braun).
- Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel
(reported by Dominique Dumont).
- Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on
a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik).
+ Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS").
+ The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the
dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further
execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner
has reached the new satellite position.
+ The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that
an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its
range. Think of it as "full circle".
+ The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each
cDiseqc or cScr, respectively.
+ A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners").
+ The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to
show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation
calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to.
The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish.
+ The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and
"Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary
values for a steerable dish.
+ The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable
dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target
position has been reached.
- The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display.
- Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter.
- No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given
Priority is less than 1.
- Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost.
- Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has
a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on
systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything.
- Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances
in transfer mode.
- All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely
to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by
Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss).
- Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks
to Christopher Reimer).
- Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel).
- The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now
deprecated and disabled by default.
You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning
of the line
//#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ...
in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround.
This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions.
Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times
when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case
one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes,
and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume.
A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two
1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk
fails, you can replace it without data loss.

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.
Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================
If there are no more serious bug reports, the final version 2.0.0 of VDR
shall be released on March 31, 2013.
So please test this developer version intensely and report any problems
you might encounter as soon as possible.
The following language files still have the given number of untranslated texts:

sl_SI.po: 1
sr_SR.po: 80
tr_TR.po: 134
If nobody takes care of these, they will remain untranslated in version 2.0.0.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Hungarian OSD texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko).
- Fixed using PATH_MAX and NAME_MAX (+/-1 because the first one includes the
terminating 0, while the latter doesn't).
- The 'plugins' target of the VDR Makefile now also copies files matching the wildcard
"lib$$i-*.so" (previously only "libvdr-*.so") and also descends into subdirectories
of the plugin source.
- The parameters PATH and NAME to the --dirnames command line option may now be left
empty to use the default values if only ENC shall be set (thanks to Helmut Auer for
some improvements to this change).
- Fixed a possible "Channel not available" if a recording starts on a system with
bonded devices (thanks to Siegfried Bosch).
- Fixed stopping an ongoing recording on a system with bonded devices, if a timer with
a higher priority requires a different band.
- Updated the introductory text of the vdr.1 man page.
- Added a note to the INSTALL file regarding multiple disk setup becoming deprecated
in a future version of VDR.
- When switching to a less privileged user id, VDR now sets the environment variables
HOME, USER, LOGNAME and SHELL accordingly (thanks to Manuel Reimer).
- Updated the help and man page entry about the location of the epg.data file (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed creating a new VPS timer with the SVDRP command NEWT (thanks to Johann
Friedrichs).

If there are no more serious bug reports, the final version 2.0.0 of VDR
shall be released on March 31, 2013.
So please test this developer version intensely and report any problems
you might encounter as soon as possible.
From the HISTORY file:
- The "Recording info" page of the skins that come with VDR now displays the name of
the channel (if available) from which this recording was taken.
- Updated the Catalan OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Added a note about the new default sort order of recordings to the release notes of
version 1.7.29 and the UPDATE-2.0.0 file (pointed out by Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Fixed a faulty UTF-8 character in cs_CZ.po.
- Added the system's character set to the page header in the epg2html script (pointed
out by Dimitar Petrovski).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Always sort folders first" can be used to control whether
folders will be always at the top of the Recordings menu, or will be interspersed
with plain recordings when sorted alphabetically.
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall).
- Updated the Chinese OSD texts (thanks to Nan Feng).
- Updated the Slovak OSD texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Cedric Dewijs).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik).

- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Dominique Plu).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki).
- Updated the Arabic OSD texts (thanks to Osama Alrawab).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Renamed the "plp id" to a more general "stream id" and added support for DVB-S2
"Input Stream Identifier" (ISI) (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
With this VDR now supports "multi streaming" on DVB-S2 and DVB-T2 transponders.
- Fixed a possible deadlock when changing the audio track while replaying a recording.
- Fixed resuming replay of PES recordings (reported by Oliver Endriss).
- Limited the Goto() call in cDvbPlayer::SetAudioTrack() to the main thread, in order
to avoid a crash when the track is automatically set from the player thread.
- The LCARS skin now calls SetAntiAliasGranularity(20, 16) in order to reserve enough
fixed colors on 8bpp displays with anti-aliasing.
- Changed the default values for the OSD size back to those before version 1.7.29,
to avoid problems with SD-FF cards in case the user switches to the "ST:TNG" or
"Classic" skin.

Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================
If all goes well, there will be just one more developer version after
this one, and then it's going to be version 2.0.0.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko).
- Modified handling user inactivity in the shutdown handler to avoid a problem in case
the system time is changed after VDR has been started (thanks to Udo Richter, reported
by Sören Moch).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik).
- Changed the template for PLGCFG to $(CONFDIR)/plugins.mk (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall).
- Now clearing device bondings for devices that don't provide DVB-S in the Setup/LNB
menu (reported by Juergen Lock).
- Fixed a possible deadlock in handling the tuners of bonded devices (thanks to
Juergen Lock).
- Improved working around the broken driver values for SNR in case of a "TT-budget
S2-3200" receiving DVB-S2.
- The demos in the "osddemo" plugin can now also be ended with the "Back" key.
- Fixed flashing OSD in "high level OSD" mode of the TT S2-6400 in case a menu is open
while subtitles are being displayed.
- Fixed stuttering or asynchronous audio after changing the audio track. This is done
by doing a "jump" to the current position, which clears all buffers. However, this
only works with TS recordings. With PES recordings it causes a segfault - haven't
been able to figure out why.
- Added a manual page for 'svdrpsend' (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed immediately disappearing subtitle track menu in "high level OSD" mode of the
TT S2-6400 when selecting "No subtitles".
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bernard Jaulin).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse).
- Removed all "fuzzy" translations from the files ar.po, hu_HU.po and sr_SR.po, because
more often than not they are just wrong.
- Now calling DeviceClear() in cTransfer::Receive() if the output device blocks, instead
of not retrying for 10 seconds (reported by Andreas Mair, with help from Oliver Endriss).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Changed the calls to Skins.QueueMessage() in vdr.c that are related to reporting the
status of the editing process back to Skins.Message() in order to have them appear
immediately.
- When sorting recordings by name, folders are now always at the top of the list.
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).

environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================
If all goes well, there should be no more functional or API changes
before the final version 2.0.0. There will just be a few more fixes.
From the HISTORY file:
- Now also using FindHeader() in cMpeg2Fixer::AdjTref() (pointed out by Sören Moch).
- Added missing template for DVBDIR to Make.config.template (reported by Derek Kelly).
- The LCARS menu now also works if the OSD has only 1bpp (two colors).
- Fixed possible garbage in the remaining time of the LCARS replay display in case the
hours change from two to one digit.
- Fixed upscaling bitmaps. The last row and column of the scaled bitmap was not filled,
which resulted in empty lines between scaled subtitles.
- Fixed a leftover line in case a two line subtitle was followed by a one line
subtitle on the dvbhddevice in "high level" OSD mode.
- Returning 0 from cDvbSdFfDevice::NumProvidedSystems() if option --outputonly is given.
- The index file is now closed after initially reading it if it is older than 3600 seconds.
- Improved responsiveness during replay when close to the recording's end.
- Fixed a leftover progress display in the LCARS main menu when replay of a recording
ends while the menu is open, and the live channel has no EPG information.
- Fixed possible audio chatter when a recording is replayed to its very end.
- Added dependency on 'i18n' to 'install-i18n' in the VDR Makefile (thanks to Tobias
Grimm).
- Changed several calls to Skins.Message() in vdr.c to Skins.QueueMessage() in order to
avoid a black screen while such a message is displayed in case the channel will be
switched (reported by Uwe Scheffler).
- Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Improved LIRC timing for repeat function.
- When pausing live video, the current audio and subtitle tracks are now retained.
- Added some notes about plugin Makefiles to PLUGINS.html.
- Avoiding an extra key press event if the repeat function kicks in when controlling
VDR via the PC keyboard.
- The new options "Setup/Miscellaneous/Remote control repeat delay" and
"Setup/Miscellaneous/Remote control repeat delta" can be used to adjust the
behavior of the remote control in case a key is held pressed down for a while, so
that the repeat function kicks in (see MANUAL).
The builtin LIRC and KBD remote controls already use these parameters. It is
recommended that plugins that implement an interface to any kind of remote controls
also use the parameters Setup.RcRepeatDelay and Setup.RcRepeatDelta for the desired
purpose, and remove any setup options they might have that serve the same purpose.
- cTimer no longer does any special "VFAT" handling to shorten directory names to 40
characters. When a string is used as a directory name for a recording, the maximum
length of the directory path, as well as the individual directory names, is now
limited to the values specified by the new command line option --dirnames (see
man vdr(1) for details). For backwards compatibility the option --vfat is still
available and has the same effect as --dirnames=250,40,1.
- The macro MaxFileName is now obsolete and may be removed in future versions. Use
NAME_MAX directly instead.
- There is no more fixed limit to the maximum number of cPixmap objects an OSD can
create. However, a particular device may still be unable to create an arbitrary
number of pixmaps, due to limited resources. So it's always a good idea to use
as few pixmaps as possible.
- Fixed formatting and removed some superfluous break statements in vdr.c's command
line option switch.

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.

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.

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).

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".

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.

From the HISTORY file:
- Added a missing template specification to the c'tor of cSortedTimers (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Fixed the background color of the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS skin.
- The LCARS skin now only displays devices that can actually receive channels, leaving
out, for instance, pure replay devices (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Now scaling down the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS skin in case it
doesn't fit with the selected font size (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed making LCARS the default skin.
- Adjusted the default values for OSD and font sizes to better fit HDTV.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed the call to ChannelString() in cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel::SetChannel() (thanks
to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed DeleteEvent() from the EPG handler interface (turned out not to be useful)
and replaced it with HandledExternally() (thanks to Jörg Wendel).
- Added SetComponents() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Dirk Heiser).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Changed the button colors in the LCARS skin to better fit with the rest of the theme.
- Removed the gap from the main menu buttons in the LCARS skin.
- Fixed some copy&paste errors in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- The LCARS skin's main menu now only displays timers that are actually activated.
- Within the "Recordings" menu, pressing the '0' key now toggles sorting between
"by time" and "by name". 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).

(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
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse() for quadrants -1 and -4.
- Fixed getting the maximum short channel name length in case there are no short names
at all (reported by Derek Kelly).
- The new function cDevice::DeviceType() returns a string identifying the type of
the given device.
- Now limiting the number of characters of a channel's (short) name to 16 in the
schedules menus, to keep that column from getting overly wide in case there is
a channel with a very long name that has no short name.
- Fixed EPG scan on systems with only a single DVB device that use software output
(reported by Juergen Lock).
- Skins can now inquire the menu category for which their cSkinDisplayMenu is currently
being used. 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).

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).

WARNING:
========
This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
From the HISTORY file:
- Now checking for NULL in cOsd::AddPixmap() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down in %s minutes" (thanks to
Frank Neumann).
- The replay progress display is now turned on whenever a mark is toggled (not
only when one is set).
- Toggling a mark now restarts the timeout of the replay progress display.
- Fixed a possible race condition with the SVDRP commands CLRE and PUTE, where
EPG data from the transponder could be handled even though it shouldn't be
handled for 10 seconds.
- Added some missing member initializations in cBitmap.
- Improved displaying the play mode in the ST:TNG skin.
- Made the ST:TNG skin the default in case the user selected skin is not available.
- Improved displaying signal strength and quality in the ST:TNG skin's channel
display.
- Fixed switching devices to the transponders of VPS recordings in case there
are only bonded devices. The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced
by using "occupied".
- Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded
with an other one.
- Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because
the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is
never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel.
- Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this
function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was
due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView.
Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter
'bool LiveView' to that function.
- Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only
broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like
"changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference
between the old and new set of pids.
- Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio.
- The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single
shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field
is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious).
- Revoked "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".
- Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers.
+ A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from
cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions.
+ The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped.
For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will
be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0'
can be used to have them handled like in previous versions.
+ The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF,
which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data.

- 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.

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).

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).

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).

This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed scaling subtitles in case the primary device's GetVideoSize() function doesn't
return actual values (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- The DiSEqC codes are now copied in the call to cDiseqc::Execute().
- VDR now supports "Satellite Channel Routing" (SCR) according to EN50494 (based on
the "unicable" patch from Lars Hanisch).
Since "Unicable" is a registered trademark and stands for only one of many
implementations of SCR, the following changes have been made compared to the patch,
which need to be taken into account by people who have set up their system using
the patch:
- The 'U' parameter in the diseqc.conf file has been changed to 'S' ("Scr").
- The configuration file name has been changed from "unicable.conf" to "scr.conf".
- Updated sources.conf (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- The SVDRP command LSTC now also accepts channel IDs (thanks to Dominic Evans).
- Fixed handling DVB subtitles and implemented decoding textual DVB subtitles (thanks
to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added cap_net_raw to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Dominic Evans).
- Fixed setting the start time of an edited recording (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Temporarily switching free devices to transponders in order to have their running
status updated is now done by marking the devices as "occupied" for a certain
amount of time.
- The new setup options "LNB/Device n connected to sat cable" can be used to define
which DVB-S devices are connected to the same sat cable and are therefore "bonded".
This obsoletes the LNBSHARE patch. Users of the LNBSHARE patch will need to newly
set up their sat devices with the above options.
- Fixed a crash when deleting a recording while cutting it (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- The new SVDRP command UPDR can be used to trigger an update of the list of
recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Added generating a pkg-config file to the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Removed the '.pl' suffix from all scripts (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Changed the default location for the LIRC socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Added file name and line number to LOG_ERROR_STR() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Replaced all calls to sleep() with cCondWait::SleepMs() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash with malformed SI data (patch from vdr-portal).

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 contains 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.
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.

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).

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. |

Version 1.7.15
- Added Macedonian language texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added handling of EnhancedAC3DescriptorTag (thanks to Eric Valette). - The default SVDRP port is now 6419 (registered with ICANN/IANA by Christian Tramnitz). Use '-p 2001' to switch back to the old port if necessary. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder() now checks the modulation capabilities of the device (as far as the driver allows this). - Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() in case part of the data has been processed and there is less than MIN_TS_PACKETS_FOR_FRAME_DETECTOR left (reported by Derek Kelly). - Added a note about not deleting cDeviceHook objects to device.h. - Added user defined key kUser0 (suggested by Ulf Kiener). - Include paths are now added instead of overwriting INCLUDES in the Makefile (thanks to Paul Menzel). - The various modulation types are now taken into account when selecting a device for a recording or live viewing, so that devices that provide more capabilities are spared. - Fixed generating PMT language descriptors for multi language PIDs (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Transponders that use "8psk turbo fec" (a non-standard mode used by North American providers) are now identified by assuming that all 8psk transponders on DVB-S use "turbo fec". In order to determine whether a certain device can handle "turbo fec", the new driver flag FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC is checked. If your device can handle "turbo fec", and your driver doesn't have that flag, yet, you can apply the patch from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-add-FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.diff. A temporary macro in dvbdevice.c defines the flag for all those who don't need this in the driver, so that they can continue using an unmodified driver. Thanks to Derek Kelly for testing this. - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Fixed handling "none" color entries in XPM files (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed a crash when creating a new channel if the channel list is empty (reported by Halim Sahin). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Radek Stastny). - Fixed a possible out of buffer memory access in case of bad TS data (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Implemented handling of HD resolution subtitles according to v1.3.1 of ETSI EN 300 743, chapter 7.2.1 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The EPG data now handles stream components 5 (H.264-video) and 6 (HEAAC-audio). - Fixed a problem with external Dolby Digital processing via the '-a' option in live mode and with TS recordings (reported by Christopher Reimer). - Added handling MPEG audio types "ISO/IEC 14496-3 Audio with LATM transport syntax" and "ISO/IEC 13818-7 Audio with ADTS transport syntax" (suggested by Luis Fernandes). See man vdr(5) on how the APID section of channels has been extended to store this information. - Added detecting channels that use service type 0x16. - Added full handling of the stream types of Dolby Digital pids (thanks to Jose Alberto Reguero). - The new setup option "OSD/Number keys for characters" can be used to control whether the number keys can be used to enter characters in a text input field (suggested by Stefan Huskamp). |

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. |

Version 1.7.13
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Changed the position of Sirius 4 to S4.8E in sources.conf (thanks to Alexander Gross).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Moved the declaration of cMenuCommands to menu.h, so that plugins can use it.
- Added a note to the MANUAL, saying that adding new transponders only works if the
"EPG scan" is active (suggested by Halim Sahim).
- Improved handling frames at the beginning and end of a recording in cDvbPlayer for
devices with large buffers (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can
provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented cDevice::GetCurrentlyTunedTransponder() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Moved strictly necessary Makefile options into Make.global, which is included
by all plugins (thanks to Paul Menzel). The Makefiles of existing plugins should be
modified like this:

- Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite
positions can be limited to a given list of devices.
This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch.
- Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the
channel list (reported by Halim Sahin).
- The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording
without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual
recording name was not visible at all.
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Improved scalability of the default skins.
- Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to
Frank Schmirler).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following
changes were made:
+ The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather
stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a
channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5).
+ The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to
implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source
specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is
done for the default DVB devices).
+ Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a
channel.
This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch.
- Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermühle).
- The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital
tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded.
This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch.

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. |

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).

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). |

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). |

Version 1.7.7
- The new function cDevice::GetVideoSize() returns the size and aspect ratio of the video material currently displayed. This function is used to determine the proper size of the OSD. Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. - The OSD and font sizes are now defined in percent of the actual video display size. The maximum OSD size has been raised to 1920x1080, to allow full screen OSD on HD systems. - The OSD size is now automatically adjusted to the actual video display (provided the output device implements the GetVideoSize() function). - cFrameDetector::Analyze() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting broken index generation after a buffer overflow). |

1834751c45 |
Version 1.7.2
- Added a note about 'Id' being obsolete to the description of cDevice::PlayAudio(). - Switched to the new S2API driver API, which was decided to become the official DVB API in the kernel (based on patches from Igor M. Liplianin, Niels Wagenaar and Edgar Hucek). VDR now uses the S2API driver from http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb. In order to correctly detect DVB-S2 capable devices, you need to apply the patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/v4l-dvb-s2api-add-s2-capability.diff to the driver source, because the S2API doesn't provide a way of telling whether a device can handle DVB-S2 transponders. - The cDvbTuner::IsTunedTo() function now also checks the symbol rate in case of DVB-S and DVB-C. - Improved handling PES video packets with zero length when converting from TS to PES. For good replay in Transfer Mode on full featured DVB cards you may want to apply the patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff to the driver (thanks to Oliver Endriss). |

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). |

Version 1.5.17
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Berglund). - Made the 'pic2mpg' script of the 'pictures' plugin work with uppercase filename extensions and relative paths (thanks to Stefan Wagner for reporting this one). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Johan Schuring). - Stripping control codes 0x86 and 0x87 from SI strings. - Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Fixed handling 3 and 4 byte UTF-8 symbols in Utf8CharGet() (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed a crash in cFreetypeFont::DrawText() if an unknown symbol is encountered (thanks to Tobias Grimm). Unknown symbols are replaced with a '?'. - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta and Jiri Dobry). - Updated the Turkish OSD texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen). - The 'plugins' target in the Makefile now returns an error exit code if one of the plugins failed to compile (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Rendering the non-breaking space symbol as a blank (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Changed the default character set for SI data from ISO6937 (as required by the DVB standard ETSI EN 300 468) to ISO-8859-9, in order to work around the stupidity of some providers, who actually use ISO-8859-9, but fail to correctly announce that. |

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. |

Version 1.5.14
- Fixed the Play function in the pictures plugin. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Makefile of the skincurses plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new option --localedir can be used to set the locale directory at runtime (based on a patch from Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed finding new transponders (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Implemented handling of DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler and Reinhard Nissl for a patch that was used to implement this). VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. - Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes a while for the CAM to start decrypting. |

Version 1.5.13
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason. - The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay. - cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear(). - Added cString::Truncate(). - Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the initial *.pot file. - Fixed handling the '-l' option. - Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8 (reported by Jiri Dobry). - The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer. See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details. - The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter). - Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel). - Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess). |

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). |

Version 1.5.8
- Added missing install-i18n to the install target in the Makefile (reported by Joachim Wilke). - Fixed a faulty comment in Make.config.template (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Improved i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Moved the "all" target in plugin Makefiles before the "Implicit rules", so that a plain "make" will compile everything (suggested by Matthias Schwarzott). The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to change their Makefiles, too. - Added DESTDIR and PREFIX handling to the Makefile (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added internationalization to the "skincurses" plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Checking the string for NULL in I18nTranslate(). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bruno Roussel). - Some optimizations in cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cMenuEditChrItem::Set() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cNitFilter::Process() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Reduced the number of time(NULL) calls in vdr.c's main loop to a single call (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Changed cBitmap::DrawText() to always draw the background unless ColorBg is clrTransparent (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The "Setup/OSD/Language" menu now only shows those languages that actually have a locale (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Now using setenv() instead of setlocale() to set the language for gettext() (suggested by Anssi Hannula; thanks also to Ludwig Nussel for a hint on using _nl_msg_cat_cntr). - When scanning the locale directory, VDR now explicitly looks for a file named vdr.mo. Text files for plugins are now named "vdr-name.mo", when "name" is the name of the plugin. The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly, and plugin authors should change their Makefiles, too. |

Version 1.5.7
- All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in the past. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder). - Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to the gettext format will only present English texts. See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how to make strings in arrays translatable. See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing translations. - The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name to the code. - The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section for i18n support. - The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the locale as defined in the system environment is used by default. - The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated, so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. - Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas Mair). - Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). |
