Klaus Schmidinger	3e4e4454fc	Version 2.1.6 ... VDR developer version 2.1.6 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.6.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.5-2.1.6.diff MD5 checksums: 79519dac59166fabc2029b916bd61d00 vdr-2.1.6.tar.bz2 99f2f7094a242462696c0da5e52bb4c3 vdr-2.1.5-2.1.6.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: - Revoked "Fixed some compiler warnings with Clang 3.4.1" from ci.c, because this did not compile with older versions of gcc (thanks to Sören Moch). - Fixed keeping the current position in the Recordings menu if a recording was deleted in a sub folder. - Fixed handling transfer mode on full featured DVB cards for encrypted channels that have no audio pid (reported by Christian Winkler). - Fixed a possible endless loop in cH264Parser::GetGolombUe(), which caused recordings on some HD channels to get stuck and resulted in buffer overflows. - Fixed handling PAT packets when detecting frames, so that they can be properly taken into account when regenerating the index of a recording. - Fixed adding new source types in case they are already registered (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed an unnecessary assignment from cMenuRecordings::~cMenuRecordings(). - The Recordings menu now remembers the last recording the cursor was positioned on, independent of the last replayed recording. When a replay ends, however, the cursor will initially be positioned to the last replayed recording again when the menu is opened. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Fixed drawing the live indicator in the LCARS skin in case there are no devices. - When checking for obsolete channels, those with an RID that is not 0 are now ignored (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - The SDT is now only parsed *after* the NIT has been read, and it explicitly uses the source value derived from the NIT. This should prevent new channels from being created with the wrong source. - Added a log message in case a receiver is detached from its device because the assigned CAM can't decrypt the channel. - Refactored setup parameter handling for output devices: + The function cDevice::GetVideoSystem() has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. In order to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified if this function is removed, you can comment out the line #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM in device.h. + Handling the "video (display) format" (things like 16:9, 4:3, pan&scan, letterbox etc) shall now be done by the individual output devices, because the types and numbers of parameters are too device specific. The Setup/DVB parameters "Video format" and "Video display format" are still there for now and can be used by SD devices. HD devices, however, shall not use these parameters (any more), but rather implement their own setup menu with the necessary parameters for controlling output. + The dvbhdffdevice plugin has been modified accordingly. + Made it clear that cDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() merely tells the output device that the current audio track is Dolby Digital. This function was only used by the original "full featured" DVB cards - do not use it for new developments! If an output device has several ways of replaying audio (like HDMI or analog jack) it shall implement the proper options in its plugin's SetupMenu() function. - Added support for "Pilot", "T2-System-Id" and "SISO/MISO" parameters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Now initializing the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of cRecording when scanning the video directory, so that it won't cause a delay when opening the menu on a system with a large number of recordings. - Now resetting the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of a cRecording to -1 after renaming it, so that it will be re-checked upon the next call to IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem(). - Added support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer). To activate this you need to add "SDNOTIFY=1" to the 'make' call.	2014-03-16 16:20:07 +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	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
Klaus Schmidinger	1eb12b4973	Version 1.7.14 ... - Fixed handling empty strings in cSource::FromString(). - Assigned the source character 'I' to "IPTV" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Assigned the source character 'V' to "Analog Video" (suggested by Lars Hanisch). This obsoletes the ANALOGTV patch. - Added support for ATSC devices (thanks to Alex Lasnier). This obsoletes the ATSC patch. - The "Source" item in the "Edit channel" menu now wraps around the list of sources (suggested by Halim Sahin). - Fixed editing channel parameters. - The new setup option "Recording/Delete timeshift recording" controls whether a timeshift recording is automatically deleted after viewing it. This obsoletes the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch. Note that the meaning of the values for this option is different from the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch: 0 means timeshift recordings are not automatically deleted (the default behavior as in previous versions), while 1 means to ask the user whether the recording shall be deleted. - Added cChannel::IsSourceType() to test if a channel's source is of a given type. - Changed the polarization characters in cDvbSourceParam::GetOsdItem() to uppercase. - The full timer file name is now displayed if it ends with "TITLE" or "EPISODE" (pointed out by Udo Richter). - Fixed "attempt to drop wrong frame from ring buffer" when skipping +/- one minute during replay. - The new setup option "Folders in timer menu" controls whether the file names in the timer menu are shown with their full folder path.	2010-03-14 11:56:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5ce592e54a	Version 1.7.13 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Changed the position of Sirius 4 to S4.8E in sources.conf (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuCommands to menu.h, so that plugins can use it. - Added a note to the MANUAL, saying that adding new transponders only works if the "EPG scan" is active (suggested by Halim Sahim). - Improved handling frames at the beginning and end of a recording in cDvbPlayer for devices with large buffers (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDevice::GetCurrentlyTunedTransponder() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Moved strictly necessary Makefile options into Make.global, which is included by all plugins (thanks to Paul Menzel). The Makefiles of existing plugins should be modified like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2009/10/18 14:00:07 2.1 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2010/02/06 14:50:03 2.2 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ ### The C++ compiler and options: CXX ?= g++ -CXXFLAGS ?= -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses +CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses ### The directory environment: @@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ LIBDIR = ../../lib TMPDIR = /tmp +### Make sure that necessary options are included: + +include $(VDRDIR)/Make.global + ### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults: -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config ------------------------------------------------------------ - Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite positions can be limited to a given list of devices. This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch. - Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the channel list (reported by Halim Sahin). - The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual recording name was not visible at all. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Improved scalability of the default skins. - Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following changes were made: + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5). + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is done for the default DVB devices). + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a channel. This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch. - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermühle). - The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded. This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch.	2010-02-28 16:07:00 +01:00
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	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	a76a03c0d8	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.	2004-01-11 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	313e33539c	Version 1.1.12 ... - Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T (see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler and Andy Carter for testing. If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C, for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the 'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial", for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards. Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]), and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses cChannel data accordingly. - The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources (satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to 'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging). - The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the "source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the 'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package. - The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format). - The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source. - The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used. - Removed some unnecessary #includes from eit.c and changed cMenuRecordings::Del() to cMenuRecordings::Delete() to avoid warnings in gcc-3.2 (thanks to Andreas Schultz for pointing this out). - Improved skipping channels that are (currently) not available (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Updated channels.conf.terr and channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed a bug when pressing the "Blue" button in the main menu without having displayed it (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).	2002-10-06 18:00:00 +02:00
