Klaus Schmidinger	2db7397542	Version 2.1.7 ... VDR developer version 2.1.7 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.7.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.6-2.1.7.diff MD5 checksums: 1c954bad31ce74cd1cbd7987e62d2a98 vdr-2.1.7.tar.bz2 88a90327a75833b7723942d3bd25f954 vdr-2.1.6-2.1.7.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - 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).	2015-01-18 14:45:41 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	716c03a47e	Version 2.1.3 ... VDR developer version 2.1.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.diff MD5 checksums: 054f80e0045aa6fad118e9285b52f4f2 vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 3c5ab05d5c4d0b984b34e84190e80949 vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.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. 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.	2014-01-06 18:37:32 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	277d66bfe1	Version 2.1.2 ... VDR developer version 2.1.2 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.2.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1-2.1.2.diff MD5 checksums: 4725e9cb26fea8fa3682dd30f5594a50 vdr-2.1.2.tar.bz2 869d9b298b432a505186328bcf0b53c6 vdr-2.1.1-2.1.2.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Updated the 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.	2013-10-19 19:27:37 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5076cfb2ed	Version 2.1.1 ... VDR developer version 2.1.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff MD5 checksums: b17f9838bb8ddee9620f838fea7a171d vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 8b8ca593885c380cd370e6d19a5b16a1 vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on 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.	2013-08-25 18:40:45 +02:00

Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. 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: - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Marc Perrudin, Bernard Jaulini and Peter Münster). - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Fixed moving editing marks, so that they don't get overwritten with old values through an update of the marks file. - Removed an invalid line from channels.conf.terr (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Fixed an unexpected k_Repeat key event after a k_Release in lirc.c. - Fixed permissions of po/sr_SR.po (reported by Dominic Evans). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed using "Pause" and "Slow motion" near the end of a recording (replay stopped a few seconds after the end of the recording file has been reached). - 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 (reported by Andre Weidemann). - Fixed the description of the OSD drawing functions DrawEllipse() (the values -5...-8 for the Quadrants parameter are not implemented). - Made cOsd::DestroyPixmap() "NULL proof". - Now deleting any previously allocated pixmaps in cOsd::SetAreas(). - Added demos of the DrawEllipse() and DrawSlope() function to the 'osddemo' plugin (press '1' or '2', respectively). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - The timeout for trying to switch to a valid programme is now reset immediately once a programme has been found. - No longer checking for EOPNOTSUPP in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() to avoid breaking this function in case the driver suddenly decides to return a different errno value if an operation is not supported. - Moved the definition of TIMERMACRO_TITLE and TIMERMACRO_EPISODE from recording.h to config.h and using them to initialize Setup.NameInstantRecord (avoids having the same information in two places). - Fixed the return value of cOsdProvider::StoreImage() in case there is no OSD provider. - Fixed a crash in cMenuEditChanItem::Set() when entering a channel number that doesn't exist (reported by Mikael Hübsch). - Fixed displaying pending timers in "alert" mode in the LCARS skin. - Added missing $(LDFLAGS) to the Makefile of the dvbhddevice plugin (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed some spellings in PLUGINS.html and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added '-p' to the cp command in the install-conf target of the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing 'const' to cDevice::HasProgramme() and cDevice::HasLock(). - Fixed determining the priority of the primary device in case it is neither replaying nor receiving a live channel (thanks to Matthias Senzel for reporting a problem with switching back to live viewing after replay in a setup with device bonding). - Removed all \return and \param tags from comment lines marked with "///<" for Doxygen. There was only a rather small number of these, and I would probably always forget to put them in place when writing future comments, so I decided to drop them entirely. - Added Doxyfile.filter to have special characters escaped that would otherwise be dropped by Doxygen (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Using 'cat' instead of 'cp' to copy the Doxyfile to avoid problems in case Doxyfile is write protected. - Updated the Doxyfile with a newer version of Doxygen. - Turned off following symlinks in the Doxyfile. - Removed trailing whitespace. - Expanded tabs in PLUGINS/src/dvbhddevice/setup.c. - Some formatting fixes.	2013-02-17 18:11:16 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	889f7deeb4	Version 1.7.36 ... VDR developer version 1.7.36 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff MD5 checksums: e514f72a2a8c44f39e47b540d6ad325f vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 9312a0d10bcda87d3c3c7e6dfbebcd05 vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer). By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"), and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as before. - Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair). - Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by Stefan Stolz). - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas Mair). - Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener). - The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR. - The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already exists (suggested by Malte Forkel). - Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch). - Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal.	2013-01-22 00:35:10 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5109addf9c	Version 1.7.33 ... VDR developer version 1.7.33 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.diff MD5 checksums: 7c21451360ac7959d0d95e533d34451c vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 c79257198f8569bc02f43dc470ee3076 vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== This version of VDR no longer sets LC_NUMERIC to "C" in order to make sure any floating point numbers written to configuration files use a proper decimal point. It rather explicitly converts such numbers using the new functions atod() and dtoa(). IF YOU USE PLUGINS THAT STORE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS IN THEIR OWN CONFIGURATION FILES, YOU SHOULD SET export LC_NUMERIC=C BEFORE RUNNING VDR, UNTIL THESE PLUGINS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY UPDATED. From the HISTORY file: - In order to be able to play TS recordings from other sources, in which there is more than one PMT PID in the PAT, 'int cPatPmtParser::PatPmt(void)' has been changed to 'bool cPatPmtParser::IsPatPmt(int Pid)'. - Fixed learning remote control keys with the LCARS skin. - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Fixed getting only non-video packets in cCuttingThread::GetPendingPackets() (reported by Sören Moch). - Changed all occurrences of MPEG4 to H264 (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed getting the number of editing sequences in case the last sequence has no actual end mark. - The cutter now only increments the TS continuity counter for packets that have a payload (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed adjusting the DTS values in the cutter, to compensate for dropped B-frames (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Simplified calculating the PTS offset in cPtsFixer::Fix() and fixed the overflow handling of PCR values (thanks to Sören Moch). - Fixed calling iconv_close() only with a valid iconv_t value (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed faulty opening of the Recordings menu when pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode in case there is a "last viewed" recording. - Fixed some #include statements in plugins to use <vdr/...> instead of "vdr/..." (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Fixed some spellings in osd.h and svdrp.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling lowercase polarization characters in channel definitions if no DiSEqC is used (reported by Mike Hay, actual bug pointed out by Stefan Huelswitt). - Synchronizing system time to the transponder time is now done using adjtime() in order to avoid discontinuities (suggested by Manuel Reimer). If the time difference is more than 10 seconds, stime() is still used to do the initial sync. - The '7' and '9' keys now jump to the very beginning or end, respectively, of the recording, even if there is no mark set at that point (following a request from Andre Weidemann). - Now always setting the TDT EIT filter, because otherwise when turning on using the transponder time in the Setup menu, it would only be used after the next restart of VDR (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The new functions cDevice::CanScaleVideo() and cDevice::ScaleVideo() can be used by derived output devices to implement scaling the video to a given size and location (based on a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). - The SVDRP command HITK now discards any keys if the remote control is currently turned off (thanks to Alexander Hans). - The new remote control key "Play/Pause" can be used with remote controls that don't have separate keys for "Play" and "Pause", but rather have a single key for both functions (thanks to Stefan Hofmann for suggesting to implement support for such remote controls). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Pause on mark set" can be used to activate automatically going into Pause mode if an editing mark is set during replay (suggested by Andre Weidemann). - When regenerating the index of a recording, the frame rate stored in the info file is now automatically fixed if it differs from the value detected by the frame detector. - Fixed creating the edited version directory if a relative file name is given in the call to 'vdr --edit' (the '/video' part was stripped from the given file name even if it wasn't there). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Progress display time" can be used to activate automatically displaying the progress display whenever replay of a recording is started (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). - Changed reading and writing of floating point numbers into configuration files to make it independent of the decimal point used in the current locale. All calls to atof() have been replaced with the new function atod(), which makes sure the string representation of a floating point number using a '.' as decimal point will be handled correctly, even if the locale in use expects a ',' as the decimal point. Plugins that read floating point numbers from their own configuration files will also need to use atod() for this, or use a method of their own (this is not necessary if values are stored in VDR's setup.conf file, because VDR takes care of this). The reason for these changes is that floating point numbers presented to the user shall be displayed in the way defined by the current locale (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). If you use plugins that store floating point values in configuration files of their own and have not yet been adapted to this change, you should set export LC_NUMERIC=C before running VDR. Otherwise your plugin's configuration data may not be read or written correctly. - The new functions SetItemEvent(), SetItemTimer(), SetItemChannel() and SetItemRecording() of the cSkinDisplayMenu class can be reimplemented by skin plugins to display these items in a more elaborate way than just a simple line of text.	2012-12-26 17:18:12 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5500959f4f	Version 1.7.28 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.28 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.28.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.27-1.7.28.diff MD5 checksums: 3ccff2dcc42d112e23dd64f2c39f02f1 vdr-1.7.28.tar.bz2 7249ead4aca4b24e53d49d11c67e1613 vdr-1.7.27-1.7.28.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The new 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 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).	2012-06-05 00:33:28 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5117f35938	Version 1.7.26 ...

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. See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.	2012-03-11 18:00:38 +01:00

Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a high load in case a transponder can't be received. - Improved the way DVB_API_VERSION is checked. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed asserting there is a live programme if the primary device is bonded with a device that starts a recording on a different band. - Fixed the return type of cMyDeviceHook::DeviceProvidesTransponder() in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed a crash in a plugin using cDeviceHook when VDR ends (reported by Oliver Endriss). - Some improvements to the Makefiles (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed cRecording::LengthInSeconds(), which wrongfully rounded the result to full minutes (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Symbolic links are no longer resolved in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The epg.data file is now read in a separate thread to make the startup process faster in case the file is very large (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Fixed selecting the primary device for receiving the live viewing channel in case it is bonded with an other device and has no receiver attached to it. - Fixed a possible crash when canceling VDR while displaying subtitles, and the primary device is no longer available. - Improved handling subtitles of BBC channels. - No longer using tabs as delimiter in the EPG bugfix log (they were garbled in the log file). - Added a missing '.' after the month in VPS strings. - Added some missing 'const' to cDevice (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed handling the PrimaryLimit when requesting a device for live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler). - Removed superfluous calls to SetVideoFormat() from device constructors. This function is called in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice(), anyway. - An ongoing editing process is now canceled if either the original or the edited version of the recording is deleted from the Recordings menu. - The SVDRP command DELR now won't delete a recording that is currently being edited. - Removed code stub for obsolete SVDRP command MOVT. - The DVB device adapters/frontends are now probed by scanning the /dev/dvb directory instead of looping through adapter/frontend numbers. This allows for "holes" in the device numbering. - cReadDir::Next() now skips directory entries "." and "..". - Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode. - Fixed switching into time shift mode when pausing live video (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for helping to debug this one).	2012-02-19 16:36:45 +01:00

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

From the HISTORY file: - Fixed scaling subtitles in case the primary device's GetVideoSize() function doesn't return actual values (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - The DiSEqC codes are now copied in the call to cDiseqc::Execute(). - VDR now supports "Satellite Channel Routing" (SCR) according to EN50494 (based on the "unicable" patch from Lars Hanisch). Since "Unicable" is a registered trademark and stands for only one of many implementations of SCR, the following changes have been made compared to the patch, which need to be taken into account by people who have set up their system using the patch: - The 'U' parameter in the diseqc.conf file has been changed to 'S' ("Scr"). - The configuration file name has been changed from "unicable.conf" to "scr.conf". - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The SVDRP command LSTC now also accepts channel IDs (thanks to Dominic Evans). - Fixed handling DVB subtitles and implemented decoding textual DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added cap_net_raw to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Dominic Evans). - Fixed setting the start time of an edited recording (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Temporarily switching free devices to transponders in order to have their running status updated is now done by marking the devices as "occupied" for a certain amount of time. - The new setup options "LNB/Device n connected to sat cable" can be used to define which DVB-S devices are connected to the same sat cable and are therefore "bonded". This obsoletes the LNBSHARE patch. Users of the LNBSHARE patch will need to newly set up their sat devices with the above options. - Fixed a crash when deleting a recording while cutting it (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new SVDRP command UPDR can be used to trigger an update of the list of recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Added generating a pkg-config file to the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Removed the '.pl' suffix from all scripts (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Changed the default location for the LIRC socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added file name and line number to LOG_ERROR_STR() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Replaced all calls to sleep() with cCondWait::SleepMs() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash with malformed SI data (patch from vdr-portal).	2011-12-05 20:36:02 +01:00

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.	2011-09-04 17:50:17 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5619c0602b	Version 1.7.17 ... - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir() (cont'd) (thanks to Steffen Barszus). - Changed the description of cDevice::GetSTC() to make it mandatory for devices that can replay. - Removed the check for positive STC values from cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(). - Added cString::operator=(const char *String) (suggested by Antti Seppälä). - Some spelling fixes (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Passing package name and version to xgettext (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made 'dist' target dependent on up to date *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added Language and fixed Language-Team header of *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with 50 or 60 fps. This avoids artifacts during fast forward/rewind when replaying recordings from such channels. To fix the index of existing recordings from such channels, just delete the 'index' file of the recording and VDR will generate a new one the next time you play it. You should also change the line "F 25" to "F 50" in the 'info' file of that recording. - Added support for "registration descriptor" to 'libsi' and using it in pat.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed unjustified log entries about changed channel pids (reported by Derek Kelly). - Added an include of VDR's 'Make.global' to libsi's Makefile (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed displaying the "contents" information from the "Classic VDR" and "ST:TNG Panels" skins, because it is often wrong and nothing but irritating. - Added typecasts to avoid gcc 4.5 warnings in switch statements on eKeys variables where additional 'k_...' flags are used. - Fixed inclusion of <stdarg.h> (thanks to Henning Heinold). - Changed "frame duration" to "frame rate" in vdr.5 (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Removing a cRemote from the Remotes list in case its initialization failed (thanks to Dominik Strasser). - Added LDFLAGS to the linker calls in the Makefiles (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel and Paul Menzel). - Now updating the 'frames per second' data in the list of recordings when a new recording is started that has a frame rate other than the default. - The include path to the freetype2 header files is now retrieved via a call to 'pkg-config --cflags freetype2' (suggested by Andreas Oberritter). - The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details about the new functionalities. The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD if available. The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support. Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an implementation of the AlphaBlend() function. - Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Added Serbian language texts (thanks to Milan Cvijanovic). - Fixed reallocating memory in the "pictures" plugin (reported by Paul Menzel, with input from Oliver Endriss). - Fixed reallocating memory in cTsToPes::PutTs() (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Now checking the result of all realloc() calls. - Fixed setting up the 'Recordings' menu in case there are several recordings with exactly the same name (reported by Marcus Hilbrich). - Setting the audio type of language descriptors to 0x00 in the PAT/PMT generator (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Changed the compiler optimization flag to -O3, which gives quite a performance boost in the AlphaBlend() function. - While replaying, the editing marks are now updated every 10 seconds (based on a patch from Manuel Reimer). - Now reducing the thread and I/O priority cCuttingThread::Action() to make the foreground process more responsive (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Removed checking for minimum line length of 21 characters in the LIRC receiver code (reported by Gerald Dachs). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now storing the original display size when handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The original display size of subtitles is now used to scale them properly when displaying them on an HD OSD.	2011-03-19 19:02:09 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	09a17d56e2	Version 1.7.12 ... - Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group". - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of folders stored in "folders.conf". - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt). - Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 1800. - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again. - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 3600. - The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible. When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo() - The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format.	2010-01-31 15:42:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	939081e274	Version 1.7.11 ... - Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file. - The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source. - Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to Matthieu Castet). - Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive(). - Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly). - Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses" to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf. If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'. - cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created. - Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt(). - cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids. - cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids (thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use). - cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel). - cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types. - The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing capability. - Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version 1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs). - Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to Anssi Hannula). IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of its base class. - Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments" in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores the genre using the tag character 'G'. - Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores the parental rating using the tag character 'R'. IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences! - Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste. - After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds, so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all the others on the same adapter. - Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to Anssi Hannula).	2010-01-06 13:34:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ea01358b3b	Version 1.7.10 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc. (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number (reported by Timothy D. Lenz). - Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de. - Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward compatible). - Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame. - Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt() (reported by Rene van den Braken). - Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame. - Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole GOP into one payload unit. - The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated). - The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to EAGAIN if the buffer is already full. - Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio() (thanks to Andreas Schaefers). - Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway. - Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by Diego Pierotto).	2009-11-22 15:58:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ab6f2ccf42	Version 1.7.8 ... - The name of the function cDevice::GetVideoSize() wasn't very well chosen for its purpose of defining the optimum size of the OSD for the current output device. Therefore a new function named cDevice::GetOsdSize() has been introduced (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. cDevice::GetVideoSize() still exists and should return the actual size of the video material that is currently replayed. Note that because of the many possible aspect ratios for video material, the type of the Aspect parameter of GetVideoSize() has been changed to 'double', and the Aspect parameter in both functions is named differently, because it returns different values (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). Thanks to Oliver Endriss for his input on calculating the Aspect factor in GetOsdSize(). - Fixed the way the OSD size is determined on full featured DVB cards (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Increased MAXOSDHEIGHT to 1200 (suggested by Nicolas Huillard). - Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling. - Checking fd_video in cDvbDevice::GetVideoSize() to avoid error messages on systems with no real primary replay device (reported by Martin Neuditschko). - Added a note to cTsToPes::GetPes() about having to call it repeatedly, once it has returned a non-NULL value. - Added MPEG 1 handling to remux.c (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Fixed use of time_t in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Added missing update of lastOsdSizeUpdate. - EIT events are now only processed if a plausible system time is available, to avoid wrong handling of PDC descriptors (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Removed unused 'synced' member from cTsToPes (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note to cTsToPes about all TS packets having to belong to the same PID, and that for video data GetPes() may only be called if the next TS packet that will be given to PutTs() has the "payload start" flag set (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note about the meaning of PERCENTAGEDELTA in cRingBuffer::UpdatePercentage() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "Recording/Pause key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Pause key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Added a note about cFont::GetFont() not being thread-safe. - Fixed generating PAT/PMT version numbers in case the PIDs change during recording (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Fixed a memory leak when reaching the end of a recording during replay (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed calling close(-1) in cUnbufferedFile::Close() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a workaround for the broken linux-dvb driver header files (based on a patch from Tobias Grimm). - Fixed handling the length of DiSEqC command sequences (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cOsdMenu::Display() in case the menu size has changed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added some missing 'const' keywords to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Ville Skyttä and Ludwig Nussel). - Modified cSVDRP::CmdGRAB() to avoid writing into const data (reported by Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed calculating menu colum widths in case the font has a size other than the default size (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a plausibility check for the OSD percentage parameters to avoid problems in case the values are stored in the setup.conf file in a wrong way. - Fixed variable types in cIndexFile (reported by Udo Richter).	2009-06-14 13:49:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	733a2becc4	Version 1.7.6 ... - cDevice::PlayTs() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes. - Made MAXFRAMESIZE a multiple of TS_SIZE to avoid breaking up TS packets. - No longer resetting the patPmtParser in cDevice::PlayTs(), because this caused the selected audio and subtitle tracks to fall back to the default. - The SVDRP command PUTE now supports reading the EPG data from a given file (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Added cThread::SetIOPriority() and using it in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed the MEGABYTE() macro to make it correctly handle parameters resulting in values larger than 2GB. - Added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() to PLUGINS.html (was missing since it had been implemented). - Fixed distortions when switching to the next file during replay. - Fixed detecting the frame rate for streams with PTS distances of 1800, which apparently split one frame over two payload units. - Added missing 'const' to cRecording::FramesPerSecond() (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Any TS packets in the first "frame" after a cut in an edited recording that don't belong to a payload unit that started in that frame now get their TEI flag set, so that a decoder will ignore them together with any PES data collected for that PID so far (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting chirping sound disturbences at editing points in TS recordings). - cDvbPlayer::Empty() subtracts 1 from readIndex, because Action() will first increment it. - Only storing non-zero Pts values in ptsIndex. - Added a note to the INSTALL file about using subdirectories to split a large disk into separate areas for VDR's video data and other stuff (suggested by Udo Richter).	2009-04-26 12:19:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c296647594	Version 1.7.3 ... - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling the 'pointer field' in generating and parsing PAT/PMT (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed handling modulation types for DVB-S transponders when processing the NIT. - Changed cDvbDevice::GrabImage() to use V4L2 (thanks to Marco Schl��ler). - Added a poll to cDvbDevice::PlayVideo() and cDvbDevice::PlayAudio() to avoid excessive CPU load (this is just a makeshift solution until the FF DVB cards can play TS directly). - The recording format is now Transport Stream. Existing recordings in PES format can still be replayed and edited, but new recordings are done in TS. All code for recording in PES has been removed. The following changes were made to switch to TS recording format: + The index file format has been changed to support file sizes of up to 1TB (previously 2GB), and up to 65535 separate files per recording (previously 255). + The recording file names are now of the form 00001.ts (previously 001.vdr). + The frame rate is now detected by looking at two subsequent PTS values. The "frame duration" (in multiples of 1/90000) is stored in the info.vdr file using the new tag F (thanks to Artur Skawina for helping to get the IndexToHMSF() calculation right). + Several functions now have an additional parameter FramesPerSecond. + Several functions now have an additional parameter IsPesRecording. + The functionality of cFileWriter was moved into cRecorder, and cRemux is now obsolete. This also avoids one level of data copying while recording. + cRemux, cRingBufferLinearPes, cTS2PES and all c*Repacker classes have been removed. + A PAT/PMT is inserted before every independent frame, so that no extra measures need to be taken when editing a recording. + The directory name for a recording has been changed from YYYY-MM-DD-hh[.:]mm.pr.lt.rec (pr=priority, lt=lifetime) to YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec (ch=channel, ri=resumeId). Priority and Lifetime are now stored in the info.vdr file with the new tags P and L (if no such file exists, the maximum values are assumed by default, which avoids inadvertently deleting a recording if disk space is low). No longer storing Priority and Lifetime in the directory name avoids starting a new recording if one of these is changed in the timer and the recording is re-started for some reason. Instead of Priority and Lifetime, the directory name now contains the channel number from which the recording was made, and the "resume id" of this instance of VDR. This avoids problems if several VDR instances record the same show on different channels, or even on the same channel. The '-' between channel number and resumeId prevents older versions of VDR from "seeing" these recordings, which makes sure they won't even try to replay them, or remove them in case the disk runs full. + The semantics of PlayTs*() have been changed. These functions are now required to return the given Length (which is TS_SIZE) if they have processed the TS packet. + The files "index", "info", "marks" and "resume" within a TS recording directory are now created without the ".vdr" extension. + The "resume" file is no longer a binary file, but contains tagged lines to be able to store additional information, like the selected audio or subtitle track. + cDevice::StillPicture() will now be called with either TS or PES data. + cDvbPlayer::Goto() no longer appends a "sequence end code" to the data. If the output device needs this, it has to take care of it by itself. - Fixed cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() to reset vpid and vtype when switching from a video to an audio channel (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - cDvbDevice now uses the FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION flag to determine whether a device can handle DVB-S2. The #define is still there to allow people with older drivers who don't need DVB-S2 to use this version without pathcing.	2009-01-06 20:31:53 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c848ab793a	Version 1.7.1 ... - Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile. - Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used by broadcasters from the beginning. - Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1". This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that they can correctly encode the strings. - No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig). - Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork). - First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format: + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets. + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively. + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets. + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes the TS data in Transfer Mode. + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a TS in order to find out which streams it contains. + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet. + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more. It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary device's PlayTs(). + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread. + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES packets. + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign. - Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting. - Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h (reported by Tobias Grimm).	2008-09-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	771986b89f	Version 1.7.0 ... - Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to the previous version of VDR! - Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).	2008-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9279cb21cd	Version 1.5.15 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types. - Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear in version 1.7.0. Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters. - Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse). - Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on a suggestion by Martin Wache). - Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin. - Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay, to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola). - The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()). - Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins, to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Walter Koch). - Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because it applies to non-VPS recordings as well. - Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT. - Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load(). - Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe) avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay. - Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with --vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter. - When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed) recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory) are no longer taken into account. - When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s). This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems, which would not add any free space to the video directory. - Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers (based on a patch from Benedikt Elser). - Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin. - Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin. - Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*() should be used. - Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins.	2008-02-17 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	fc4c8740a7	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).	2008-01-13 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	dbf38b7c68	Version 1.5.10 ... - Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing subtitle handling in VDR). - The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list of available subtitles. - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the preferred languages for subtitles. - Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode. - Implemented subtitle track selection. - Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors. - Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location of the subtitles in the vertical direction. - The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency" define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background color of subtitles. - Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in X 3 03 ger deutsch (see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence, so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording. - Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with --no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by Denis Knauf). - Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Christian Wieninger). - Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On' is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to Elias Luttinen). - Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the 'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file. Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n' target in their Makefiles, as in i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo) (based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel). - Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn). Same for the assign operator. - Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn). - Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).	2007-10-14 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	46c882c04d	Version 1.5.9 ... - Fixed handling locale directories with a large number of entries (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Updated Turkish language texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen). - Fixed stripping the context in I18nTranslate() (reported by Christian Wieninger). - Fixed detecting whether a particular locale is actually supported. - Added a note about LANG having to be set to a valid locale in INSTALL (suggested by Matthias Fechner). - Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.2.0 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Fixed setting the locale file name in i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Changed the default for LOCDIR in Makefile and Make.config.template to "./locale", so that internationalization works by default when running VDR from within its source directory (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Added the new i18n macro trVDR(), which can be used by plugins to mark texts they want to reuse from VDR's core translations (suggested by Matthias Becker). - VDR now uses the default configuration directory as defined in the CONFDIR varable in the Makefile (thanks to Thomas Schmidt). - The SVDRP command LSTC can now list the channels with group separators if the option ':groups' is given (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Added a missing error report to cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - There can now be more than one OSD at the same time. At any given time, however, only one of them can be active (and thus visible). This is to allow displaying things like subtitles in an easy way. A cOsd therefore now has a "Level", and only the OSD with the smallest level will be displayed. The level 0 OSD is special, and there can only be one with this level. If there is more than one OSD with a particular level, only the one that was created first will be displayed. Plugins that provide an OSD need to adjust their cOsdProvider::CreateOsd() function to hand through the Level. - Fixed checking for ttDolbyLast in cDevice::SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).	2007-08-26 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	a9c7f0de90	Version 1.5.5 ... - Fixed a name clash between skincurses.c and the new cOsd position functions. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the parameter "OSD font size" to "Default font size" in "Setup/OSD". - Fixed handling address masks in SVDRP host settings (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fonts can now be created with a width that overwrites the default width (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Added full weekday names to i18n.c for plugins to use (thanks to Patrice Staudt). The new function WeekDayNameFull() can be used to get these names from integer values (just like the abbreviated weekday names). - Fixed stripping i18n stuff from font names (reported by Anssi Hannula). - Improved performance of the SVDRP commands LSTC and CHAN when used with a channel name.	2007-06-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b9b9ace9a8	Version 1.5.3 ... - Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo Richter). - Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof Parma and Helmut Auer). - Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt CAM's version 3.11 firmware. - Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel). The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu. Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. - If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased". The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off. - The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing. Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of 10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed. - The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source. - VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding. - Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8 encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding (see tools.h for details). - Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8 characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled correctly between systems with different character encodings. - Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts. - Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area. - Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect when the "Ok" key is pressed.	2007-06-10 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	f5ad8fc5d7	Version 1.4.1-4 ... - Fixed converting the port number in the "connect from..." log message of SVDRP (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made the cCiSession members sessionId and resourceId uint16_t and uint32_t, respectively, to match their types in the CI session data (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting that there are places where ntohs() is assigned to different types). - Changed the way a device is selected for receiving in order to keep devices with CAMs better available, even if this means recording on the primary device (reported by Jörn Reder; thanks to Anssi Hannula for improving handling Transfer Mode devices in this). - No longer stopping removing empty directories if an error occurs (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Added a log error message to cPlugin::ConfigDirectory() in case a plugin calls it from a separate thread (reported by Udo Richter).	2006-08-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	33f1491b18	Version 1.4.1-3 ... - Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume() bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks to Udo Richter). - The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2). - Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording, or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min. event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is "Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future. - Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter). - Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.	2006-08-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	80c0452968	Version 1.4.1-2 ... - Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher). Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN macro, even if it doesn't use it itself! - Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script. - Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event. - cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is true. - Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description. - Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick Maier). - Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume() (reported by Norbert Wentz). - Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.	2006-07-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	2bb3251354	Version 1.4.1 ... - Changed the log messages when grabbing an image from 'isyslog()' to 'dsyslog()' so that they can be suppressed in normal operation mode to avoid clogging the log file in case this function is used frequently (suggested by Helmut Auer).	2006-06-11 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	21f3eaf6c9	Version 1.4.0-3 ... - Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled. - Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c, because it caused a compiler warning with post-2.4 glibc (reported by Ville Skyttä). Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was presumably a NOP, anyway. - Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer). - Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well. - Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?" menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30 seconds won't be shown as "running". - Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'. - Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the 'skincurses' plugin). - When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses' skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously selected skin will be used again. - Added some log messages when setting the current skin. - Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first attempt has failed. - Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts (if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA descriptors before the actual recording starts.	2006-06-04 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	293ed4027e	Version 1.3.47 ... - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther). - Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren Salt). - Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem. - Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported by Thomas Günther). - Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey(). - Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt). - Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv). - The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay. - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details. - Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz). - In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your own, you should add the lines ifdef DVBDIR INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include endif to its end, as in the new Make.config.template. Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

When updating to this version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because the values have been shifted. - The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/s/^.*"\(.*\)".*$$/\1/p' $(VDRDIR)/config.h) ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin). - Added format check to syslog_with_tid(). - Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory (since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog timer won't hit). - Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny Kornexl). - No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is no need to actually rename them. - The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails. - The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.	2006-04-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	49b561fcad	Version 1.3.45 ... - Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu. - Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers. - cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the given min and max limits. - The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers. - Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help"). - Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false (thanks to Werner Fink). - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). - Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been deleted (reported by Hardy Flor). - Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of disk space (reported by Jan Lenz). - Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early). - Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer. - Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it then returns the one that just ended). - Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed (reported by Helmut Auer). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker). - Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Enhanced logging EPG event data. - Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt). - The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data' or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events. - The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning for events before the present event. - Fixed some #include sequences. - Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning. - The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds.	2006-03-26 19:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	78e3da813c	Version 1.3.39 ... - The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence() (thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf file. - To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root" is given. - Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option). - Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original patch by Ludwig Nussel). - Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle). - Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism introduced in version 1.3.32. - Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'. - Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko). - Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host (reported by Philippe Gramoullé). - Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each channel's schedule in the cChannel data. - Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error" (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels". This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series. Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the "All events on all channels" page may take a while. - The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus. - Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann). - Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling).	2006-01-15 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	da948a50d2	Version 1.3.38 ... - Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels (was broken in version 1.3.37). - Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers. - Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach). - Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems). - When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt). - Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch). - Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before actually removing it. The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started. - Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger). - Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground and background threads won't interfere. - The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant recording or replay stops, etc. - The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file (thanks to Kendy Kutzner). - EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are now automatically deleted. - Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent(). - Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time). - Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00). - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer is set or modified. - cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the event it has been set to. - The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'. If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit timer" menu for that timer. - Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread. - Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff. - Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h). - The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit 'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but has no meaning any more. - The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage() need to be adapted to the new interface. - The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class). - The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection (encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt). A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is: svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display - - The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double '/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is not allowed any more because of potential security risks. - Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña): + The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links (suggested by Darren Salt). + The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any ".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt). + Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal" in VDR ;-). - When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id, keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root', but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to use the '-u' option. - Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(), so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from Jürgen Schneider). - Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer). - Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). - The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon. - Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner). - Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger). - Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by Holger Wächtler). - The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD, the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti). - The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke). - A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't remember why it wasn't active... - Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan). - Preceded all button texts with "Button$". - Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts. - Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill). - Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line //#define USE_FADVISE in tools.c. - Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem. - In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for details). - The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric sort modes. - The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if this is a menu. - The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys. - Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed. - In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben). - Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by Andreas Böttger). - The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed. - Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM. - Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling. - Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo Schneider). - Cleaned up some trailing white space.	2006-01-08 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8c63e0fd96	Version 1.3.37 ... - Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions. - Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will use Transfer Mode just like before. - Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply data of AlphaCrypt CAMs). - Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress and isn't actively used, yet. - Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator (thanks to Holger Brunn). - The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details. - The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed (no more "pending message").	2005-11-27 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	812ab9018c	Version 1.3.36 ... - Fixed a NULL pointer access with the cUnbufferedFile when a replay session runs all the way until the end of the recording (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - A menu is no longer automatically closed when a replay ends (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Removed '\n' from several syslog() calls (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed missing '&' in the SetAreas() example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed a memory leak in cString::operator=() (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Maarten Wisse). - cReadLine now dynamically allocates its buffer, so that it can handle lines of any length. - Changed cConfig::Load() to use cReadLine instead of a fixed buffer (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting a problem with extremely long summary fields in timers). - cSVDRP now dynamically allocates its command buffer in order to handle commands of any length. The MAXPARSEBUFFER macro is now obsolete and has been removed. If a plugin has used that macro, it should either define a buffer size of its own, or use cReadLine when reading files. - Fixed a race condition in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The EPG scan no longer disturbs players that have also set live PIDs (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed setting the help key display in the Recordings menu in case of several layers of subdirectories. - Removed EPG bugfix #0, because it removed actually important data.	2005-11-06 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c16bbf7422	Version 1.3.33 ... - Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer). Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances. - Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting this one). - Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher for reporting this one). - Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc]. - The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings list, but rather deletes that particular entry. - The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up. If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read, the menu will be updated accordingly. Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread by putting something like cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&Recordings); into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing and debugging this. - The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan).	2005-09-25 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d5c85f5ff8	Version 1.3.32 ... - Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel Thompson). - Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested by Malcolm Caldwell). - Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to Lauri Tischler). - Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from SVDRP). - The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop. - Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG. - The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through the static function cRemote::CallPlugin(). - The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor). - The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1 (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'. - Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work. - Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode. - If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this). - Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this one). - Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick Rother for reporting this one). - Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text' (thanks to Carsten Koch). - Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher).	2005-09-11 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ad40eaa28e	Version 1.3.31 ... - Added missing German OSD texts for 'Audio language'. - The Setup/CICAM menu now only contains the devices that actually have a CI and dynamically detects the number of slots a CI provides. - Implemented cAudioRepacker for better handling of audio PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Modified handling of audio packets for radio channels in remux.c (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed the EPG scan, so that it doesn't use the primary device if that is currently in Transfer-Mode from itself (thanks to Marcus Hilbrich for a bug report that lead to this). - Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() since it caused more trouble than it fixed. - Fixed detecting short channel names for "Kabel Deutschland", who uses a comma as delimiter (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Moved cMenuEditTimer and cMenuEvent to menu.h so that plugins can use it (suggested by Thomas Günther). - The new static function cString::sprintf() can be used to easily create a formatted string. - Plugins can now implement their own SVDRP commands (based on a patch from Hardy Flor). See PLUGINS.html, section "SVDRP commands" for details. The SVDRP commands of a plugin are accessed through the new SVDRP command PLUG. See PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo for an example of how to use this feature. - The new SVDRP command PLAY can be used to start replaying a recording (thanks to Hardy Flor). - The new SVDRP command EDIT can be used to start the editing process of a recording (based on the CUTR patch by Harald Milz).	2005-08-28 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	4c5de28883	Version 1.3.28 ... - Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache). - Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings. - Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating VPS timers to stop recording prematurely. - Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one). - Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt). - Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a problem with this). - Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out a problem with it). - Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this). - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this). - Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks to Andreas Böttger). - Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2005-08-07 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	f836711024	Version 1.3.25 ... - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Some cable providers don't mark short channel names according to the standard, but rather go their own way and use "name>short name". VDR now splits at this character for cable channels (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Added a check for Setup.DiSEqC in cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(), otherwise the EPG scan didn't work on systems that don't use DiSEqC (thanks to Michael Reinelt for reporting this one). - Made the Makefile patch friendlier (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Made cOsd::isOpen an integer counter to avoid problems with messages when a cOsdObject uses the raw OSD (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in 'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in summary2info.pl /video (the parameter given has to be the video directory). If there is no 'info.vdr' file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'. - The "Summary" button in the "Recordings" menu has been renamed to "Info", and the page it brings up now shows the recording's information, much like the EPG event page. Therefore it now no longer uses the skin's SetText() function, but rather the SetRecording() function. Skin plugins may need to adjust that function accordingly (see skinsttng.c, for instance). - The SVDRP command LSTR now lists the recording information in the same tagged format as the LSTE command lists the EPG data. - The audio track menu now contains track descriptions when replaying (provided such descriptions were available in the EPG data when the recording was made, and are stored in the info.vdr file). - Avoiding extra blanks at the end of names of instant recordings. - Removed converting byte order on big endian systems from cDvbOsd::Flush(), which, according to Johannes Stezenbach and Paavo Hartikainen, is wrong. - Added cPlayer::DeviceSetVideoDisplayFormat() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer saving the setup in case of a fatal error, to keep the volume level from being set to a wrong value (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible hangup when ending a replay session while cIndexFile::CatchUp() is waiting (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The SVDRP command DELR no longer deletes recordings that are currently being written to by a timer (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). - Pressing the "Play" key in live viewing mode now resumes a previous replay session (thanks to Mirko Dölle). - Now dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the NPTL and UTF-8 checks after the version and help output (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out that 'vdr --version' failed on an UTF-8 system). - Made tChannelID::operator==() inline for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - Introduced cListBase::count for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - cEvent no longer stores the channelID directly, but rather has a pointer to the schedule it is in. - Now using hash tables to speed up cSchedule::GetEvent() (partially based on a patch from Georg Acher). - Avoiding unnecessary calls to getLength() in libsi/si.c, and avoiding the '& 0xff' in CRC32::crc32() of libsi/util.c (thanks to Georg Acher). - Speeded up deleting duplicate channels. - Fixed listing recordings with empty episode names in the LSTR command (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Added cThread::SetPriority() and using it in cSectionHandler::Action() to reduce the priority of the section handler threads (as suggested by Georg Acher).	2005-05-29 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c23522ade2	Version 1.3.24 ... - Now including the optional user defined Make.config from the 'libsi' Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed a memory leak in tComponent (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt and Daniel Thompson). - Fixed a memory leak in cDvbPlayer (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added missing text internationalization for "Starting EPG scan" (thanks to Matthias Lötzke). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling transparent areas in cDvbSpuBitmap (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now also considering the "EPG linger time" when saving the EPG data to file or listing it via LSTE (thanks to Roman Krenický). - Fixed handling fragments of less than 4 byte in cPesAssembler (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a bug in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::getLength() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - When reading the channels.conf file, duplicate channels (i.e. ones that have the same channel ID) are now automatically deleted and only the first one is actually stored. - Fixed handling lifetime when deciding whether to delete a recording (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed timeout handling in cRwLock::Lock() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Since there are several places in thread.c where a timeout value is calculated, this has been put into a separate function. - The timer status now has a new bit that is set when that timer is currently recording (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). See man vdr(5) for details. - Removed scaling coordinates in letterbox mode from cDvbSpu - the DVD plugin, which was the only one needing this, doesn't need it any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer retuning or restarting a recording if only the language code of an audio or Dolby PID changes. - Now preferring budget cards when selecting a DVB device for recording. - Recordings now avoid zero sized video data files (thanks to Wolfgang Fitz). - Some rearrangements in cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a wrong inheritance in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::Subtitling (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).	2005-05-08 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	782b517c51	Version 1.3.23 ... - The setup option "DVB/Video display format" is now only available if "Video format" is set to "4:3" (suggested by Mikko Salo). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Dropped CA support for the old '-icam' firmware. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed a few French OSD texts that were in the wrong place. - Improved matching timers to EPG events, especially in case there are several events with the same VPS time. - Fixed cDolbyRepacker to allow recording ProSieben HD broadcasts (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDvbDevice::SetVideoDisplayFormat() in case of 16:9 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The running status of a VPS event is now only taken seriously if that event has been seen within the last 30 seconds - otherwise recording is done as if no VPS was available. - The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation ("YYYY-MM-DD") in 'timers.conf' and for the result of the SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a patch by Roman Krenický). - Some fixes to avoid compiler warnings in gcc 4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting these). - Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired. - Fixed setting the colored button help after deleting a recording in case the next menu entry is a directory (thanks to Steffen Beyer). - Improved falling back to normal recording if the VPS data hasn't been seen for more than 30 seconds. - Added a missing cMutexLock to cRemote::HasKeys() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - All log entries regarding timers now contain a short description of the timer.	2005-03-20 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	fb5cccb2df	Version 1.3.18 ... - Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink). + The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary. + cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets. + cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version 0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now has an 'int' return value. + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class function. It shall just play the given data as audio. + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes(). + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are actually required will be processed. + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that have their own idea about this. + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to allow access to all available PIDs. - Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for pointing this out). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos). - Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to Laurence Abbott). - Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were shifted one too far to the left). - Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font files. - Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry. - Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out). - Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide the actual buffering. In particular these are: readdir() -> cReadDir readline() -> cReadLine - Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString: cChannel::ToText() tChannelID::ToString() cEvent::GetDateString() cEvent::GetTimeString() cEvent::GetEndTimeString() cEvent::GetVpsString() cMark::ToText() cTimer::ToText() cSource::ToString() cTimer::PrintDay() cTimer::PrintFirstDay() PrefixVideoFileName() IndexToHMSF() ChannelString() strescape() AddDirectory() itoa() WeekDayName() DayDateTime() When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value, as in const char *date = DayDateTime(); Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not be valid after this line. Use this instead: cString date = DayDateTime(); In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be dereferenced with a '*', as in printf("%s", *DayDateTime()); to make it a 'const char *'. - Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead. - Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing out this problem). - Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching receivers from different threads. - The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language" to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital audio tracks (see MANUAL for details). - The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors" that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes, which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3. - The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details). - The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed. - Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio track menu. - The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the botton left side. - The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages (see MANUAL for details). - The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks in these channels (see MANUAL for details). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund). - Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick Gleichmann). - Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu. - Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for their support in testing and fine tuning this version.	2005-01-09 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	3038be2a6a	Version 1.3.15 ... - Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Uwe Hanke). - Added more checks and polling when getting frontend events (based on a patch from Werner Fink). - No longer explicitly waiting for a tuner lock when switching channels (apparently setting "live" PIDs before the tuner is locked doesn't hurt). Moved the wait into cDevice::AttachReceiver() instead. - Immediately displaying the new channel info when switching channel groups. - Moved the main program loop variables further up to allow compilation with older compiler versions (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - Now calling pthread_cond_broadcast() in the destructor of cCondWait and cCondVar to make sure any sleepers will wake up (suggested by Werner Fink). Also using pthread_cond_broadcast() instead of pthread_cond_signal() in cCondWait, in case there is more than one sleeper. - Making sure that timers and channels are only saved together, in a consistent manner (thanks to Mirko Dölle for reporting a problem with inconsistent channel and timer lists). - Now handling the channel name, short name and provider separately. cChannel therefore has two new functions, ShortName() and Provider(). ShortName() can be used to display a short version of the name (in case such a version is available). The optional boolean parameter of ShortName() can be set to true to make it return the name, if no short name is available. The sequence of 'name' and 'short name' in the channels.conf file has been swapped (see man vdr(5)). - Added the 'portal name' to cChannels (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling key codes that start with 0x1B in the KBD remote control code. - Now using qsort() to sort cListBase lists. For this, the virtual function cListObject::operator<() has been replaced with cListObject::Compare(). Plugins that implement derived cListObject classes may need to adjust their code. - The "Channels" menu can now be sorted "by number" (default), "by name" and "by provider". While in the "Channels" menu, pressing the '0' key switches through these modes. - Fixed the buffer size in cRecording::SortName(). - Now displaying the name of the remote control for which the keys are being learned inside the menu to avoid overwriting the date/time in the 'classic' skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).	2004-11-01 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	af483c11ae	Version 1.3.13 ... - Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo). - Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock (thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to Marco Schlüssler). - Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland). - Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the ring buffer. - Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'. - Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid an "almost full" ring buffer. - Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for the new usage of cTSBuffer). - cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using cRemux will need to be modified accordingly. - The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to improve the overall throughput. - Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with each call, not just 2048 byte. - Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h. - Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible "near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still uses it in cRemote). - The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows). - Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing). - Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo Tykkala for pointing out this problem). - cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to the log file). - Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing this out). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested by Wayne Keer). - Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter). - Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun). - Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun). - Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently active. - Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead checking if the channel has a non-zero number. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).	2004-10-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	eb52e3004a	Version 1.3.11 ... - In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do 'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR. - Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for reporting this one). Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file! - Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo). - Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin). - Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting this one). - No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle). - The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu. If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings. If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file '.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings. - Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually implemented for FF DVB cards. - Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard Cedric for reporting this one). - Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out this one). - Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one).	2004-06-19 18:00:00 +02:00
