Version 1.3.1
- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available (thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one). - Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL). This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has now been adopted. - Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one). - Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections. - Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by Teemu Rantanen). - Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl). - Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10 seconds. - Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Andreas Kool). - The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who actually has such equipment. |

Version 1.1.20
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti) and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground. - Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one). - Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele). Plugin authors should please change the lines CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual in their Makefile to CXX ?= g++ CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual - Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing). - Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode. - Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments). See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow. |

Version 1.1.18
- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for reporting this one). - Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault). - Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":" or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin). - Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch). - Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they are no longer active). - Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL (suggested by Gerald Berwolf). - Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details). - The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system, using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details). |

Version 1.1.16
- Fixed saving the polarization parameter of channels that have a number in the 'source' parameter (thanks to Peter Seyringer for reporting this one). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Achim Lange). - First step towards a "unique channel ID". The channel ID is a human readable string, made up from several parameters of the channel's definition in the file 'channels.conf' (see man vdr(5) for details). In order for the "unique channel ID" to work, all channel definitions now must be unique with respect to the combination of their Source, Frequency and SID parameters. You may have to fix your 'channels.conf' manually if there are error messages in the log file when loading it. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR 'channels.conf' AND 'timers.conf' FILE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THIS VERSION, AND CHECK VERY CAREFULLY WHETHER YOUR TIMERS ARE STILL SET TO THE RIGHT CHANNELS! When reading an existing 'timers.conf', the channels will be identified as before by their numbers. As soon as this file is written back, the channel numbers will be replaced by the channel IDs. After that it is possible to manually edit the 'channels.conf' file and rearrange the channels without breaking the timers. Note that you can still define new timers manually by using the channel number. VDR will correctly identify the 'channel' parameter in a timer definition and use it as a channel number or a channel ID, respectively. Also, the SVDRP commands that return timer definitions will list them with channel numbers in order to stay compatible with existing applications. The channel ID is also used in the 'epg.data' file to allow EPG information from different sources to be stored, which would previously have been mixed up in case they were using the same 'service ID'. Note that the contents of an existing 'epg.data' file from a previous version will be silently ignored, since it doesn't contain the new channel IDs. When inserting EPG data into VDR via SVDRP you now also need to use the channel IDs. Currently the EPG data received from the DVB data stream only uses the 'Source' and 'Service ID' part of the channel ID. This makes it work for channels with the same service IDs on different sources (like satellites, cable or terrestrial). However, it doesn't work yet if the service IDs are not unique within a specific source. This will be fixed later. - Added missing SID parameters to 'channels.conf'. Some channels have been removed since they are apparently no longer broadcasted. - Removed dropping EPG events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400 seconds or more (was introduced in version 1.1.10). This has become obsolete by the modification in version 1.1.13, which fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next event. Besides, the change in 1.1.10 broke handling EPG data for NVOD channels. - Fixed a compiler warning regarding cMenuChannels::Del() and MenuTimers::Del() hiding the base class virtual functions. |

Version 1.1.14
- Fixed some faulty default parameter initializations (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Added further satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner
and Oliver Endriss).
- Updated Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed a small glitch when switching channels (thanks to Dennis Noordsij for
reporting this one).
- Fixed handling multiple 'CaCaps' entries in 'setup.conf'.
- Group separators in 'channels.conf' may now be given like ':@201 My Channels',
where '@201' indicates the number to be given to the next channel. This can be
used to create 'gaps' in the channel numbering (see 'man 5 vdr'). BE CAREFUL
TO UPDATE YOUR 'timers.conf' ACCORDINGLY IF INSERTING THIS NEW FEATURE INTO YOUR
'channels.conf' FILE!
- Timers now internally have a pointer to their channel (this is necessary to
handle gaps in channel numbers, and in preparation for unique channel ids).
- Fixed slow reaction on SVDRP input (thanks to Guido Fiala for reporting this one).
- Added KI.KA to channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Frequency values for cable and terrestrial channels in 'channels.conf' can
now be given either in MHz, kHz or Hz. The actual value given will be multiplied
by 1000 until it is larger than 1000000.
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels when zapping downwards.
- Fixed checking the Ca() status of a cDevice (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed switching audio tracks in 'Transfer Mode' on the primary DVB device
(thanks to Steffen Barszus and Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one and
helping to fix it).
- Fixed channel switching in case of an active 'Transfer Mode' on the primary
device ('Transfer Mode' is now launched with priority '-1').
- Fixed a ternary expression in dvbspu.c.
- Fixed handling 'Transfer Mode' on single device systems when recording an
encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed blocking replaying in case an encrypted channel is being recorded on
the primary device.
- Now the name of the remote control is displayed when learning the keys.
- Fixed learning remote control keys in case there is more than one remote
control (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Implemented additional dedicated keys for "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Record",
"FastFwd", "FastRew", "Channel+" and "Channel-". If your remote control supports
any of these keys you can delete your 'remote.conf' file and restart VDR to
go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys.
See MANUAL for more information.
Authors of player plugins should update their ProcessKey() functions so that
the new player keys have the same functionality as the "Up", "Down", "Left",
"Right" and "Blue" keys, respectively. Note that the existing functionality
of these keys should by all means be retained, since VDR (and any plugins)
shall be fully usable with just the basic set of keys. These new keys are only
for additional comfort in case the remote control in use supports them.
- Implemented new keys to directly access the VDR main menu functions "Schedule",
"Channels", "Timers", "Recordings", "Setup" and "Commands". If your remote
control provides keys you want to assign these functions to, you can delete
your 'remote.cof' file and restart VDR to go through the key learning procedure
again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information.
- The new configuration file 'keymacros.conf' can be used to assign macros to
the color buttons in normal viewing mode, as well as to up to 9 user defined
keys. See MANUAL and man vdr(5) for more information. The default 'keymacros.conf'
implements the functionality of the "color button patch".
- Fixed a crash when learning the keys of several remote controls and pressing
buttons of those that have already been learned (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
reporting this one).

Version 1.1.9
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation. If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary. - Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented. - cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here. - Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle multiple recordings. - Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived cDevice classes. - Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices receiving multiple channels. - Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are recording and these channels are on different transponders). - Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). |

Version 1.1.7
- Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with 'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice). By default it currently still uses the old driver. - Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!", since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people. - Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this in his DXR3 plugin). - cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall check if any of its file handles is ready for data. - Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code itself, or a device implemented by a plugin. |

Version 1.1.3
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes. - Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist' (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags). - Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface. - Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd. - Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor. See PLUGINS.html for details. - Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c. - Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing out this one). - Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this option from your existing Makefile. - Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available to plugins. - Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output thread necessary). - It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder 12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S. - Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data is simply saved to both files. - The following limitations apply to this version: + Transfer mode doesn't work yet. + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet. + Cutting doesn't work yet. |

Version 1.1.2
- Changed the cPlugin::Start() function to return a boolean value that indicates if the plugin will not be able to perform its task (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added the cPlugin::Housekeeping() function (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Added 'insert' capabilities to cList (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Changed the 'package' target in the plugin's Makefile to produce a package that expands to a directory with just the plugin name and version number (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the config directory available to plugins (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). See PLUGINS.html, section "Configuration files" for details. - Improved the [eid]syslog() macros, so that the LOG_... macros don't need to be given any more. |

Version 1.1.1
- Separated the actual DVB hardware OSD implementation from the abstract OSD interface. 'osdbase.c/.h' now implements the abstract OSD, while 'dvbosd.c/.h' is the actual implementation for the DVB hardware. This is in preparation for allowing additional kinds of OSD hardware implementations. - Fixed leftover references to the file FORMATS in MANUAL and svdrp.c. - Avoiding ambiguities in the cList template class in case one defines a "list of lists" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Simplified the basic cMenuSetupPage class for easier use in plugins. - Added setup parameters and a Setup menu to the 'hello' plugin example. - Fixed logging error message for unknown config parameters in plugins. - Rearranged cleanup sequence at the end of the main program. - Adapted PLUGINS.html to use the actual code examples from the 'hello' plugin. |

Version 1.0.0pre1
- Added scanning for EPG data for another 4 days on channels that support this (thanks to Oleg Assovski). - Removed '#define VFAT 1' from recording.c (was a leftover from testing). - Fixed the "Low disk space!" message (thanks to Sergei Haller). - Added the TPID to Hessen-3 in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Sergei Haller). - Fixed a crash when replaying with DEBUG_OSD=1 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Implemented the "First day" parameter for repeating timers. See FORMATS for information about the enhanced 'timers.conf' file format, and MANUAL for a description of the new item in the "Edit Timer" menu and the enhanced functionality of the "Blue" button in the "Timers" menu. - When deleting a recording that is currently still being recorded, the related timer will now automatically be terminated. If this is a repeating timer, it will receive a "First day" setting that skips the timer for this day. - Fixed closing all unused file descriptors when opening a pipe (thanks to Werner Fink). - Instant recordings now take the EPG data from the point in time at 5 minutes from the start time of the recording. In order for this to work the 'active' parameter of a timer now uses the second bit to indicate that this is an "instant" recording (see FORMATS for details). - Fixed the SVDRP GRAB command in case the video device can't be opened (thanks to Adrian Stabiszewski). - At startup the data written into 'epg.data' is now read into the EPG data structures. In order for this to work, the 'E' record has been extended to (optionally) contain the 'table ID' (see FORMATS for details). - The new SVDRP command PUTE can be used to put EPG data into the EPG list. See FORMATS for details about the required data format. - Taking the German umlauts 'as is' when compiled with VFAT. - The new Setup parameter RecordDolbyDigital can be used to generally turn off recording the Dolby Digital audio channels in case you want to save disk space or don't have the equipment to replay Dolby Digital audio. - Reading the 'setup.conf' file no longer terminates in case of an error, but rather attempts to read the rest of the file. - Removed DVD support from the core VDR source, since the current version from Andreas Schultz is already much further developed (DVD menu navigation) and the concept of "additional players" in VDR is going to change in version 1.1.0, where a new "plugin" interface shall allow the easy implementation of new players without having to patch the core VDR source. Until then, Andreas has agreed to provide his DVD support as a completely external patch. - The contents of the distribution archive now contains the directory name with the current version number, as in 'vdr-1.0.0pre1/...' in order to avoid inadvertently overwriting an existing VDR directory with a new version. - Added a missing error message in SVDRP command LSTC in case the given channel can't be found. |

Version 0.99pre5
- Updated channel settings for 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Gebel). - Fixed handling hierarchical recordings menu in case of directories starting with the same sequence of characters. - Fixed handling timers on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month in case the next month has less than 31 days. - Added a description of the sort order of individual episodes in the recordings menu to the MANUAL. - Removed the EPG bugfix for "Title / Subtitle" cleanup. Apparently Pro-7 has finally stopped this nasty habit. - Added some EPG bugfix statistics (printed to the log file every time the EPG data is cleaned up and when VDR is terminated). Maybe somebody in charge of the EPG data at the listed channels will read this and take the necessary actions to fix these things... - Changed the [dei]syslog macros in tools.h to use a variable number of args, thus making it safe to use them in nested 'if/else' statements. - Fixed error handling in establishing an SVDRP connection (thanks to Davide Achilli) for pointing this out). - The new configuration file 'svdrphosts.conf' is now used to define which hosts may access the SVDRP port (by default only 'localhost' has access). See FORMATS for details. - The special keywords TITLE and EPISODE can now be used in timer file names (see MANUAL and FORMATS for details). - The new setup parameter NameInstantRecord can be used to define how an instant recording will be named (see MANUAL for details). - When looking for the EPG record of the timer that starts a recording, now that record is taken which covers the time calculated as 'start + (Setup.MarginStart * 2) + 1)' in order to have a better chance of hitting the right record in case of an instant recording. Timers that start further in the future should always be programmed via the "Schedules" menu. - The special VPIDs '0' and '1' are now used to enable recording radio channels. Actually '0' should be enough, but '1' must be used with encrypted channels (driver bug?). Note, though, that since VDR is mainly a *video recorder*, some features like, e. g., the progress display, may not work as expected with radio recordings. Thanks to Michael Paar. - Fixed a problem with the ERR macro defined by ncurses.h (thanks to Artur Skawina). |

Version 0.99pre2
- Fixed setting the OSD size in the 'Confirm' interface call (thanks to
Deti Fliegl).
- Removed the 'read incomplete section...' error message in the EIT processor.
- Fixed channel data for "DW TV" (thanks to Axel Gruber).
- Added DPID to "PREMIERE MOVIE 1" in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Stephan
Schreiber).
- Prepared the OSD functions for multiple overlapping windows.
- Removed the check to see whether the system time is running linearly.
- Improved performance of SVDRP command entry.
- Removed EPGBugfixLevel '3' - after more than a year Pro-7 finally managed to
broadcast the correct timestamps for EPG events between 0:00 and 6:00!
- Fixed failing watchdog timer if program hangs in OSD activities (thanks to
Carsten Koch).
- No longer requiring 'libncurses' if compiling without DEBUG_OSD=1 and
REMOTE=KBD (thanks to Lauri Pesonen).
- The "Recordings" menu now displays a hierarchical structure if there are
subdirectories for the recordings. This can be controlled through the
"RecordingDirs" parameter in the "Setup" menu.
See "MANUAL/Replaying a Recording" for details.
- Improved speed of setting the Help button texts.
- Fixed handling file names that contain single quotes (') or dollar signs ($)
in the call to the shutdown command (option '-s') and the recording command
(option '-r').
- Improved error handling in the editing process; the resulting file will be
deleted if an error occured.
- A message is now prompted at the end of the editing process, indicating
whether the process succeeded or failed.
- Fixed setting the LastActivity timestamp after a shutdown prompt (thanks to
Sergei Haller).
- A message is now prompted if free disk space becomes low during recording.
- The editing process now calls AssertFreeDiskSpace() to remove deleted
recordings if the disk becomes full.
- The "Main" menu now displays in its title the used disk space (in percent)
and the estimated free disk space (in hh:mm), assuming a data rate of 30 MB
per minute.
- Activating the "Recordings" menu now displays "scanning recordings..." to
give the user some feedback in case this takes longer.
- Status messages are now displayed centered.
- Removed the 'Tools' subdirectory from the VDR archive. All contributed tools
can now be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools.

Version 0.97
- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing
files from the video directory at the same time.
- The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or
not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files.
- Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
- The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel
number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL).
- New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Trkce'
and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Rder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon
Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or
'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see
whether they still use the correct channel number.
- Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and
Extended Description).
- Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode.
- The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of
recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers
are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the
current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired
value (see INSTALL).
- Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for
an improved version of his 'libdtv').
Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they
would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display
(where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be
specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP.
- Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote).
- Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not
thread safe, now using localtime_r().
- Removed the "system time seen..." message.
- Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow
button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt)
- Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs.
- The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay
to enter the "Recordings" menu.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Helmut Schchner).
- Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric
values.
- Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording.
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.

Version 0.96
- Made VDR compile with libdvdread-0.9.1 (thanks to Andreas Schultz). Note that you now _need_ version 0.9.1 of libdvdread to compile VDR with DVD support! - Several fixes to the replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt): no more replay mode display when pressing the "Green" or "Yellow" button (Skip +/-60s); fixed timeout when pressing '0' to set an editing mark while the progress display is not shown; mode display is shown after progress display is closed; pressing "Ok" while the mode display is on brings up the progress display; no more unnecessary display of "normal play mode". - Supplying the new frontend parameter 'Inversion' (currently it is always set to INVERSION_AUTO, which should work with all channels on Astra). - Removing unnecessary double quotes from EPG Subtitle in EPGBugfixLevel >=1. - EPG info is now updated if the contents changes but the ID remains the same. - Fixed handling SVDRP commands whith more than one blank between the command word and the options. - The current volume setting is now saved to setup.conf and restored at the next program start. - New command line option '-r' to define a command that gets called before and after each recording (see INSTALL for details). - Implemented a check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Writing the current time (as seen by VDR) into the log file when starting a timer recording (this may help debugging cases where timers don't start at the expected time). - Made the volume, mute and power keys work when a menu is active, too (thanks to Matthias Weingart). |

Version 0.95
- Fixed behaviour in case the shutdown didn't take place (there were many
"next timer event at..." messages in that case).
- Reduced the default value for MinEventTimeout to 30 minutes.
- Fixed detecting manual start in shutdown feature.
- An error message is now displayed in case the Transfer Mode can't be
started because the necessary DVB card is currently recording (or there
is no DVB card that can access this channel).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key in case the "Ok" button has been
pressed to display the current/next information.
- Pressing the "Power" key now always initiates the shutdown sequence (after
user confirmation in case of a recording timer), event if there is currently
a menu or a replay session active. Note the additional remarks in INSTALL
regarding the values of the two parameters given to the shutdown program
in case of a currently recording timer.
- Switching through channel groups with the "Left" and "Right" keys now
always starts at the group that contains the current channel.
- Implemented "Multi Speed Mode" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Implemented backtracing to hit the right spot after fast forward/rewind
(thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Implemented replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt, with a few
rewrites by kls).
- Changed the size of all input buffers used to parse config files or receive
SVDRP commands to the same value of 10KB. This allows long strings to be
used in the 'summary' field of a timer, for instance.
- The pipe to the Dolby Digital replay command (option '-a') now closes all
unused file descriptors in the child process to avoid crashing when the
OSD is used (thanks to Andreas Vitting).
- Switched to the driver's new tuning API (VDR now requires a driver version
dated 2001-09-14 or higher).
- Changed obsolete macro VIDEO_WINDOW_CHROMAKEY to VID_TYPE_CHROMAKEY (thanks
to Guido Fiala).
- New version of the "Master-Timer" tool (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Better error handling when writing configuration files.
- Fixed putting the final editing mark into the edited version's marks file.
- Fixed manipulating an editing mark at the very end of a recording.
- Fixed starting a new replay immediately after stopping a previous one (had
caused a mix between live video and replay).
- Three new keys ("Volume+", Volume-" and "Mute") to control the DVB card's
audio output volume.
- New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch).

Version 0.93
- The menus and the channel display now show the current date and time. - The new Setup parameter MaxVideoFileSize can be used to customize the maximum size of the recorded video files. - Fixed a bug in handling repeating timers that record over midnight (the calculation of matching timers has been completely rewritten). - Timers that are currently recording are now marked with '#' in the "Timers" menu. - Timers are now sorted in the "Timers" menu, showing the sequence in which they will be recording. This can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. Note that the "Mark" button doesn't work if timers are displayed sorted. |

Version 0.92
- The "channel not sync'ed" log message now also lists the card number.
- Now using the EIT services from 'libdtv' (thanks to Rolf Hakenes), which
provides EPG information for NVOD ("Near Video On Demand") channels.
- Doing some bug fixing on the EPG data (some tv stations apparently have
their own idea on how to fill in the data...). The level up to which EPG
bugs are fixed can be controlled with the EPGBugfixLevel parameter in the
"Setup" menu (see MANUAL for details, and cEventInfo::FixEpgBugs() in eit.c
for the actual implementation).
- Fixed broken recordings after a driver buffer overflow.
- Fixed the chirping sound after Pause/Play of a DVD (thanks to Andreas
Schultz).

Version 0.91
- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long. - Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD. - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card system. - Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text was too long...). - Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off". - The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether). See 'vdr --help' for details. - Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used). - Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for details. - Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode. - If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given only once. - Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink). |

Version 0.85
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jrgen Tvedt). - Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). - Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). - Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich Rder). - Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). - Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. - Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. - Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks to Guido Fiala). - When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). - When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful setting of the mark. - Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schchner). Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of several PW channels has been changed. - Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". - Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). - Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a replay session is started immediately after that. - Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. - Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode'). |

Version 0.72
- Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if no channels or timers are defined. - Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke). - Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being replayed. - Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time was set. - Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor. - Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts. - Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer). - Fixed setting system time from transponders. - Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information. - The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it. - Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of recordings. - Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen). - The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal (thanks to Jrgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL). - Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card, recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for systems with three or more DVB cards. - Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke. - Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR. - VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump). - SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the Windows 'telnet'). - Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages. - New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data. - The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns. |

Version 0.71
- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in the EPG scanner). - The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the second channel). - Reacitvated setting the PNR. - Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver. - The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled exclusively via SVDRP). - The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces a certain instance of VDR shall use. - The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to (de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there. - The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote control. - The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file will have the new format. - The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle. - Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not only when disk space is being needed for a new recording). - Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control. - Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the maximum possible number of DVB cards. - The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2' to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card). - The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and restore the list when switching between them. - The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a recording and play it from the very beginning. - Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS). - When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video directory. - Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer. - New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD. - The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR. - SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted. - SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed (default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup"). - The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this. - Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann). See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable. - Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor. - A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems. - New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means that every timer may use the primary interface. - The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details). - The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new 'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited. |

3fe3c15d5d |
Version 0.70
- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher. - Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in the DVB/driver directory. Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may be sound fragments. - The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes. Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple HTML programme listing. - Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus. - Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter. - Fixed missing initialization in cConfig. - Implemented "On Disk Editing". - There is no more default 'timers.conf' file. - Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro). - Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer mode". - Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields. - Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their name (this is now mapped to 0x01). - Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'. - Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when a recording is interrupted due to higher priority. - Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file and then renames it). - In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every 5 seconds. - The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled, and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems. - Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it is still necessary for the EPG info). |

Version 0.68
- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted. - The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more than one DVB card). - The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no". - Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to the Slovenian language. - Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated). - Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP. - Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer). - There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option (see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands). - Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands. - The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record. - A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card). - The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the schedule of the current channel from that menu. - All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the same data structure. - If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity (timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for 20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not currently recording or replaying. - Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX'). - Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files. - Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display. - Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice already. |

Version 0.67
- The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread. - The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data stream. This can be enabled in the "Setup" menu by setting "SetSystemTime" to 1. Note that this works only if VDR is running under a user id that has permisson to set the system time. - The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG (thanks to Robert Schneider). See the MANUAL file for a detailed description. - The new setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop define how long (in minutes) before the official start time of a broadcast VDR shall begin recording, and how long after the official end time it shall stop recording. These are used when a recording is programmed from the "Schedules" menu. - The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased to '3', because on some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you are running an already patched version 0.71 driver and encounter problems with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay call is '3', not '2'. - Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching on the system). - Problematic characters in recording names (which can come from timers that are programmed via the "Schedules" menu) are now replaced by suitable substitutes. |

Version 0.66
- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things a lot smoother. - Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished. - In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes: Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and releasing the key stops it. - The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording. - The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if that file still exists. - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid). - The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu. |

Version 0.65
- Modified LIRC interface to better handle repeat function. - Faster OSD by first writing into a bitmap and then sending the entire bitmap to the DVB driver at once (requires the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' to be applied against the version 0.71 DVB driver file 'dvb.c'). - When switching channels the channel is now immediately displayed, and the current/next information is shown as soon as it becomes available. - No longer displaying the year in the 'Recordings' menu to saves space for the title. - The 'Recordings' menu now displays a '*' to indicate new recordings. - Added the description of the timers.conf file to the FORMATS file (thanks to Bastian Guse). - Displaying as much as possible of the current/next info (dropping characters that would display only partially). - In normal viewing mode the '0' key now toggles between the current and the previous channel. |

Version 0.64
- NOTE: If you are using DVB driver version 0.7 you need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0, so your insmod statement should read
'insmod dvb.o outstream=0'. This is currently necessary because 'vdr'
still works with AV_PES data.
- Video files now have the 'group read' bit set.
- Fixed handling errors in 'readstring()'.
- Handling SIGPIPE and re-establishing handler after intercepting a signal.
- The configuration files are now by default read from the video directory.
This can be changed by using the new '-c' option. Make sure you copy your
current '*.conf' files to your video directory ('/video' by default), or
use "-c ." to get the old behaviour of loading the configuration files
from the current directory.
- Waiting for input is now handled by a common function, which improves
response time on user actions. As a consequence the EIT data may sometimes
not be displayed, but this will change later when cEIT runs as a separate
thread.
- The new SVDRP command 'HITK' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to 'hit'
a remote control key. Establish an SVDRP connection and enter HITK without
a parameter for a list of all valid key names.
- The new SVDRP command 'GRAB' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to grab
the current frame and save it to a file.
- The new SVDRP commands 'OVL*' can be used to control video overlays (thanks
to Guido Fiala!). This is mainly for use in the 'kvdr' tool (see the 'kvdr'
page at http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala).
- If the name of the video directory used with the '-v' option had trailing
slashes, the recording file names have been damaged. Trailing slashes are
now silently removed.
- Fixed a buffer overflow in EIT parsing.
- Added a security warning regarding SVDRP to the INSTALL file.
- Fixed 'confirm' dialog.
- The daemon mode (option '-d') now no longer works with REMOTE=KBD (there
is no stdin in daemon mode, so KBD makes no sense - plus it sometimes
crashed).

Version 0.63
- The new "Setup" menu allows the user to configure several parameters to his/her
personal taste (see MANUAL for details).
- Workaround for a driver timing problem in cDvbApi::Cmd(), which sometimes caused
the OSD to no longer be displayed (thanks to Niels de Carpentier).
- Added the '-m486' option to the compiler call.
- If a channel name contains a colon (':') it is now replaced with a '|' in
channels.conf.
- Not everybody appears to like the "page scrolling" mechanism introduced by
Heino Goldenstein in version 0.61, so this is now configurable via the "Setup"
menu.
- The new 'dvbrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert
'dvbrc' channel files into 'vdr' format.
- Channels can now be "grouped" (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). See MANUAL for details.
There is currently no mechanism to define and maintain "Channel groups" via
the menu, so you'll have to insert "Channel group" control lines into your
'channels.conf' file manually (for example with a text editor).
- Started a new file named FORMATS with a description of the various file
formats used by VDR.
- The "Primary DVB interface" can now be chosen via the "Setup" menu.
- Display of the "current/next" information when switching channels can now
be disabled via the "Setup" menu.
- The "current/next" display now only shows those lines that actually contain
information.
- When directly selecting a channel by entering the channel number, the digits
entered so far together with the name of that channel are displayed on the
OSD (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).

Version 0.61
- When scrolling through a list it now moves a full page up or down when the cursor reaches the top or bottom of the menu (thanks to Heino Goldenstein!). - Added missing '#include <sys/stat.h>' to recording.c. - The video directory can now be defined with the command line option -v. - There can now be more than one video directory (in case you have several disks). - Fixed learning key codes for PC keyboard. - New command line option '-l' to set the log level. - Times in timers.conf are now always printed with 4 digits (leading '0'). - Slow forward/back mode (thanks to Guido Fiala!). - The "Up" key in replay mode no longer restarts replay at the very beginning, but rather resumes normal replay mode after a "pause", "forward" or "backward" operation. Use the "Skip -60s" function repeatedly to go back to the beginning of the recording. - Improved reaction on user input in fast/slow forward/back modes. - No more upper limit for the value of 'Pnr'. - Checking if the video card is really a DVB card. - New SVDRP command UPDT to update an existing timer (or add a new one if it doesn't yet exist). - New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (with a modified channel list). - Bugfix in closing window in DEBUG_OSD mode. |

Version 0.6
- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!). There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it work immediately even if there is no actual remote control). - Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird) not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). - Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in faster reaction. - The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!). - The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries. - The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list with the highest 'Priority' is selected. - The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in. - The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits, so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-) - Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are converted to underscores. - The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in channels.conf. - Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6. - Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control the VDR over a network connection. - Implemented command line option handling. - The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option. - Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!). This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by this timer. If the text contains the special character '|', a newline will be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red" key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer via the SVDRP interface. |

Version 0.04
- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that appears to be in use with DVD replay. - Implemented a channel display in the top menu line. - Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up). - Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys. - Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers. - The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to kick in too early). - Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying. - Improved process handling. |

Version 0.03
- Actual record/replay now works. - Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that). - Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting. - Support for CICAM. |
