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

WARNING:
========
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive
environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
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.

From the HISTORY file:
- The "Recording info" page of the skins that come with VDR now displays the name of
the channel (if available) from which this recording was taken.
- Updated the Catalan OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Added a note about the new default sort order of recordings to the release notes of
version 1.7.29 and the UPDATE-2.0.0 file (pointed out by Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Fixed a faulty UTF-8 character in cs_CZ.po.
- Added the system's character set to the page header in the epg2html script (pointed
out by Dimitar Petrovski).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Always sort folders first" can be used to control whether
folders will be always at the top of the Recordings menu, or will be interspersed
with plain recordings when sorted alphabetically.
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall).
- Updated the Chinese OSD texts (thanks to Nan Feng).
- Updated the Slovak OSD texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski).

"Input Stream Identifier" (ISI) (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
With this VDR now supports "multi streaming" on DVB-S2 and DVB-T2 transponders.
- Fixed a possible deadlock when changing the audio track while replaying a recording.
- Fixed resuming replay of PES recordings (reported by Oliver Endriss).
- Limited the Goto() call in cDvbPlayer::SetAudioTrack() to the main thread, in order
to avoid a crash when the track is automatically set from the player thread.
- The LCARS skin now calls SetAntiAliasGranularity(20, 16) in order to reserve enough
fixed colors on 8bpp displays with anti-aliasing.
- Changed the default values for the OSD size back to those before version 1.7.29,
to avoid problems with SD-FF cards in case the user switches to the "ST:TNG" or
"Classic" skin.

Version 1.7.32

ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32.tar.bz2

222f1e9b4d4edaa6fe57286409614cc7 vdr-1.7.31-1.7.32.diff
WARNING:
========
This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
The main focus of this version is on an improved frame detection code,
and improvements to the cutting process. When cutting a recording, VDR
now removes any "dangling" TS packets from the beginning of an editing
sequence and pulls in any "pending" TS packets at the end of a sequence.
It also fixes all timestamps and continuity counters.
However, while the results look much better now in, for instance, Kaffeine,
the TT S2-6400 still shows some video artifacts at the editing points, and
the Mac video player sometimes totally chokes on edited material.
I did spend a lot of time trying to find out what could still be wrong here,
but couldn't come up with any new ideas. So I think it's now time to invite
others to test this new cutting code, read the source code and try to find
out what's still going wrong here. Maybe (hopefully ;-) it's just some stupid
little error... ;-)
From the HISTORY file:
- Pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode now opens the Recordings menu
if there is no "last viewed" recording (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
The same behavior has been implemented for the Blue key in the main menu.
- cIoThrottle::Engaged() is now also checked in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action(),
to suspend removing deleted recordings in case this is necessary to make room for
new, ongoing recordings (suggested by Udo Richter).
- The cThread constructor now has an additional boolean parameter that can be set to
true to have this thread run at a lower priority. Plugin authors that use low
priority threads may want to use this instead of the calls to SetPriority(19) and
SetIOPriority(7). The priority of a thread ("low" or "high") is now logged when the
thread starts.
- Changed DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_STREAM_ID in dvbdevice.c to adapt to an incompatible
change in DVB API 5.8 (reported by Derek Kelly).
Removed the meanwhile obsolete definition of FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.
- Fixed some compiler warnings under gcc version 4.7.1.
- Fixed setting the video format in the dvbhdffdevice (thanks to Torsten Lang).
- Fixed 'make install' to not overwrite existing configuration files (thanks to Peter
Münster).
- Added including the Make.global and Make.config files to the dvbdhffdevice's
libhdffcmd/Makefile.
- Added options to build a 32-bit version of VDR on a 64-bit machine to
Make.config.template.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the running status of an event goes to '1' (not
running) and later goes to '4' (running).
- If a frame position in the 'marks' file of a recording doesn't point to an I-frame,
it will now be shifted towards the next I-frame, either up or down, whichever is
closer (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a possible memory leak in SI::StructureLoop::getNextAsPointer() (reported by
Sundararaj Reel).
- Fixed handling timers in case an event is modified and "phased out" while the timer
is recording.
- Improved frame detection by parsing just far enough into the MPEG-4 NAL units to get
the necessary information about frames and slices.
- The initial syncing of the frame detector is now done immediately after the first
complete GOP has been seen. This makes recordings and especially pausing live video
start up to twice as fast as before.
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Fixed handling the very last entry in a recording index.
- The return type of cMarks::Add() has been changed to void, since due to the sorting
of the list of marks the returned pointer might have pointed to a totally different
mark. Besides, the return value was never actually used.
- Improved editing TS recordings by
+ stripping dangling TS packets from the beginning of a sequence
+ including pending TS packets at the end of a sequence
+ fixing all timestamps and continuity counters
+ generating editing marks for the edited version in such a way that each cutting
point is marked by an "end" and "begin" mark with the same offset
+ no longer generating an editing mark at the "end" of the edited recording (this
was actually generated at the beginning of the last GOP, so that a subsequent
edit would have cut off the last GOP)
+ no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results on just
one single sequence
+ ignoring pairs of editing marks that are placed at exactly the same position of
a recording when actually cutting the recording
+ not doing anything if the editing marks in place would result in the edited
version being the same as the original recording
- Editing marks can now be placed directly on top of each other, in which case they
simply mark a position, but have no effect on the actual cutting process.
- When positioned at an offset where two (or more) editing marks are placed on top
of each other, the '4' key moves the first one of them to the left, while the '6'
key moves the last one of them to the right. The '7' and '9' key handle multiple
marks at the same place as if it were one single mark.
- Modified editing marks are now written to disk whenever the replay progress display
gets hidden (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).

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

Version 1.7.25
Original announce message:
VDR developer version 1.7.25 is now available at

f34adcdc0cdab378431d8946872d6b59 vdr-1.7.24-1.7.25.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:
- The fps value for channels where it differs from the default is now set correctly
when pausing live video.
- Increased the average character estimate for calculating tab positions in skins,
to better suit wide fonts (reported by Rudi Hofer).
- Fixed getting the subsystem ids of DVB devices in case they have been rearranged
via udev rules.
- Added several cTimer::Set...() functions (suggested by Alexander Rieger).
- Changed the return value of cTimer::SetFile() to 'void'.
- Revoked "Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode" because it caused trouble with
output on vdr-xine and dxr3, and also short glitches when replaying on any output
device.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling subtitle color palettes on channels where subtitles appear
"word by word" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed upscaling cBitmaps with anti-aliasing (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting
a problem with color palettes in subtitles).
- Fixed getting the video aspect ratio for scaling subtitles.
- Removed the "PrimaryLimit". Old "full featured" DVB cards can be run with the
--outputonly option to avoid problems with recording high bandwidth channels.
Besides, with HDTV becoming ever more popular those cards are pretty much obsolete
by now (the TT S2-6400 has no problems recording and replaying high bandwidth
channels simultaneously). And, last but not least, people using software players
won't notice this change, anyway.
- Since cReceivers can have priorities between -99 and 99, the priority
for an unused device has been changed from -1 to -100.
- If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for
that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored. This way an external
EPG source can fill the schedules with EPG data that will not be messed up with
that from the DVB data stream. Note, though, that this means VDR can not do VPS
controlled recordings with such events!
- Added some typecasts to silence gcc compiler warnings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling overlapping timers in case a VPS timer with higher priority needs
to interrupt a timer with lower priority.
- The code for the RCU remote control unit has been moved into a separate plugin
named "rcu".
The REMOTE=RCU option in the 'make' call for VDR is now obsolete.
The command line option --rcu is now obsolete. Use -Prcu instead. If you have
used --rcu with a device path, use -P"rcu -d<device>".
- Added support for automatically selecting subtitles when playing old PES
recordings made with the subtitles plugin (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Revised priority handling to allow receivers with a priority that is lower than
that of live viewing (with suggestions from Frank Schmirler):
+ An idle device (one that is not used for live viewing and has no receiver
attached to it) now has priority IDLEPRIORITY (-100).
+ An unused CAM slot now has priority IDLEPRIORITY.
+ The default priority of a cReceiver is now MINPRIORITY (-99).
+ A device that is used only for live viewing (no matter whether it's in Transfer
Mode or real live mode) now has priority TRANSFERPRIORITY (-1).
+ The function cDevice::Receiving() now returns true if there is any receiver
attached to the device. Its boolean parameter has no meaning any more.
+ The default value for the Priority parameter of the function cDevice::ProvidesChannel()
has been changed to IDLEPRIORITY.
- Added a Query parameter to cDevice::GetDevice(), so that devices can be queried
without side effects when zapping.
- Replaced min(max()) calls with the new function constrain().
- Fixed handling OSD color button texts in case a menu item has texts of its own
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). If a plugin creates derived cMenuEditItems that set
color button texts, these should not set the texts directly by calling
cSkinDisplay::Current()->SetButtons(), but rather call the new member function
cMenuEditItem::SetHelp().
- Moved the call to cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch(this, 0) to the beginning of
cDevice::SetChannel(), so that any receivers that have been attached to the
device by plugins may be detached before the final call to GetDevice().
This actually reverts "Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel
is actually going to be switched or has actually been switched successfully"
which was made in version 1.1.10, so please report if this has any unwanted
side effects.

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

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

WARNING:
========
This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
This version contains functions to determine the "signal strength"
and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that
contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may
want to apply the patches from
ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches
to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from
that frontend.
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed detecting frames for channels that split frames into several payloads
(reported by Derek Kelly).
- Now initializing Setup.InitialChannel to an empty string to avoid problems in
case there is no setup.conf.
- The start time of an edited recording is now set to the time of the first
editing mark (thanks to Udo Richter).
This obsoletes the CUTTIME patch.
- Direct access to the members start, priority, lifetime, and deleted of cRecording
as well as to position and comment of cMark is now deprecated. Plugin authors
should switch to the new access functions for these members. For now the macro
__RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS is defined in recording.h, which
exposes these members, so that existing plugins will still compile. Comment out
this #define to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified.
This #define may be removed in a future version.
- The new functions cRecording::NumFrames() and cRecording::LengthInSeconds() return
the number of frames and length (in seconds) of a recording (suggested by Steffen
Barszus).
- The subtitle PIDs are now stored in the channels.conf file as an extension to the
TPID field (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new function cDevice::ProvidesEIT() is used to determine whether a device can
provide EIT data and will thus be used in cEITScanner::Process() to receive EIT
data from the channels it can receive (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that by
default it is assumed that a device can't provide EIT data, and only the builtin
cDvbDevice returns true from this function.
- The Audio and Subtitles options are now available through the Green and Yellow
keys in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). This is mainly for remote
controls that don't have dedicated keys for these functions.
- The SVDRP command HITK now accepts multiple keys (up to 31).
- The Recordings menu now displays the length (in hours:minutes) of each recording
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that the "new" indicator has been moved from the
recording time to the length column. This new format is also used by the SVDRP
command LSTR, so in case you have an application that parses the LSTR output,
you will need to adjust it to the new format.
- The dvbsddevice plugin now supports the new option --outputonly, which disables
receiving on SD FF devices and uses the device only for output (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Fixed detecting frames on radio channels (reported by Chris Mayo).
- Revoked the changes to cFrameDetector that have been introduced in version 1.7.19.
Detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter
extends over TS packet boundaries is now done by locally skipping TS packets
in cFrameDetector.

Version 1.7.18
- Changed -O2 to -O3 in Make.config.template (reported by Matti Lehtimäki). - Added a missing 'default' case in cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse(). - Fixed some direct comparisons of double values. - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with separate "fields" instead of complete frames. - Made updating the editing marks during replay react faster in case the marks file has just been written (with a patch from Udo Richter). - Fixed horizontal scaling of subtitles (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Stripped the note "The data returned by this function is only used for informational purposes (if any)" from the description of cDevice::GetVideoSize(). The VideoAspect is now used to properly scale subtitles. - Fixed cUnbufferedFile::Seek() in case it is compiled without USE_FADVISE (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed the Language header of the Serbian translation file (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added anti-aliasing when upscaling bitmaps, which improves the display of SD subtitles when replayed on an HD OSD (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for his help in debugging). - Renamed cBitmap::Scale() to Scaled(), because it doesn't modify the bitmap itself, but rather returns a scaled copy. - Fixed the description of cReceiver in PLUGINS.html, regarding detaching a receiver from its device before deleting it (reported by Winfried Köhler). This change in behavior was introduced in version 1.5.7. - Fixed scaling subtitles in case the OSD size is exactly the same as the display size of the subtitles. - Added a missing initialization to sDvbSpuRect (reported by Sergiu Dotenco). - Replaced "%lld" and "%llX" print format specifiers with "PRId64" and "PRIX64" to avoid compiler warnings with gcc 4.5.2 (thanks to Sergiu Dotenco). On a personal note: I find it a step in the totally wrong direction that there have been macros introduced to work around this problem in the first place. There should have been "real" format specifiers defined that address this. These macros are nothing but an ugly workaround. - Added Cancel(3) to ~cTrueColorDemo() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing font deletion in cTrueColorDemo::Action() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a buffer overflow in cFont::Bidi() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added HD stream content identifiers to vdr.5 (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Made cRecordingInfo::Read(FILE *f) private to avoid calls to it from outside cRecordingInfo or cRecording (reported by Mika Laitio). - The dvbhddevice plugin is now part of the VDR distribution archive (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Removed an obsolete local variable in dvbsdffosd.c (thanks to Paul Menzel). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer dereference in osddemo.c (reported by Paul Menzel). - Now using pkg-config to get fribidi, freetype and fontconfig cflags and libs (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now also installs the include files (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added handling of "ANSI/SCTE 57" descriptors (thanks too Rolf Ahrenberg). - Avoiding an unecessary call to Recordings.ResetResume() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). |

Version 1.7.17
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir() (cont'd) (thanks to Steffen Barszus). - Changed the description of cDevice::GetSTC() to make it mandatory for devices that can replay. - Removed the check for positive STC values from cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(). - Added cString::operator=(const char *String) (suggested by Antti Seppälä). - Some spelling fixes (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Passing package name and version to xgettext (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made 'dist' target dependent on up to date *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added Language and fixed Language-Team header of *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with 50 or 60 fps. This avoids artifacts during fast forward/rewind when replaying recordings from such channels. To fix the index of existing recordings from such channels, just delete the 'index' file of the recording and VDR will generate a new one the next time you play it. You should also change the line "F 25" to "F 50" in the 'info' file of that recording. - Added support for "registration descriptor" to 'libsi' and using it in pat.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed unjustified log entries about changed channel pids (reported by Derek Kelly). - Added an include of VDR's 'Make.global' to libsi's Makefile (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed displaying the "contents" information from the "Classic VDR" and "ST:TNG Panels" skins, because it is often wrong and nothing but irritating. - Added typecasts to avoid gcc 4.5 warnings in switch statements on eKeys variables where additional 'k_...' flags are used. - Fixed inclusion of <stdarg.h> (thanks to Henning Heinold). - Changed "frame duration" to "frame rate" in vdr.5 (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Removing a cRemote from the Remotes list in case its initialization failed (thanks to Dominik Strasser). - Added LDFLAGS to the linker calls in the Makefiles (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel and Paul Menzel). - Now updating the 'frames per second' data in the list of recordings when a new recording is started that has a frame rate other than the default. - The include path to the freetype2 header files is now retrieved via a call to 'pkg-config --cflags freetype2' (suggested by Andreas Oberritter). - The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details about the new functionalities. The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD if available. The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support. Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an implementation of the AlphaBlend() function. - Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Added Serbian language texts (thanks to Milan Cvijanovic). - Fixed reallocating memory in the "pictures" plugin (reported by Paul Menzel, with input from Oliver Endriss). - Fixed reallocating memory in cTsToPes::PutTs() (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Now checking the result of all realloc() calls. - Fixed setting up the 'Recordings' menu in case there are several recordings with exactly the same name (reported by Marcus Hilbrich). - Setting the audio type of language descriptors to 0x00 in the PAT/PMT generator (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Changed the compiler optimization flag to -O3, which gives quite a performance boost in the AlphaBlend() function. - While replaying, the editing marks are now updated every 10 seconds (based on a patch from Manuel Reimer). - Now reducing the thread and I/O priority cCuttingThread::Action() to make the foreground process more responsive (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Removed checking for minimum line length of 21 characters in the LIRC receiver code (reported by Gerald Dachs). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now storing the original display size when handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The original display size of subtitles is now used to scale them properly when displaying them on an HD OSD. |

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

Version 1.7.14
- Fixed handling empty strings in cSource::FromString(). - Assigned the source character 'I' to "IPTV" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Assigned the source character 'V' to "Analog Video" (suggested by Lars Hanisch). This obsoletes the ANALOGTV patch. - Added support for ATSC devices (thanks to Alex Lasnier). This obsoletes the ATSC patch. - The "Source" item in the "Edit channel" menu now wraps around the list of sources (suggested by Halim Sahin). - Fixed editing channel parameters. - The new setup option "Recording/Delete timeshift recording" controls whether a timeshift recording is automatically deleted after viewing it. This obsoletes the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch. Note that the meaning of the values for this option is different from the DELTIMESHIFTREC patch: 0 means timeshift recordings are not automatically deleted (the default behavior as in previous versions), while 1 means to ask the user whether the recording shall be deleted. - Added cChannel::IsSourceType() to test if a channel's source is of a given type. - Changed the polarization characters in cDvbSourceParam::GetOsdItem() to uppercase. - The full timer file name is now displayed if it ends with "TITLE" or "EPISODE" (pointed out by Udo Richter). - Fixed "attempt to drop wrong frame from ring buffer" when skipping +/- one minute during replay. - The new setup option "Folders in timer menu" controls whether the file names in the timer menu are shown with their full folder path. |

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

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

Version 1.7.12
- Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group". - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of folders stored in "folders.conf". - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt). - Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 1800. - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again. - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 3600. - The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible. When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo() - The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format. |

Version 1.7.11
- Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file.
- The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access
the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in
cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source.
- Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to
Matthieu Castet).
- Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann
Friedrichs).
- Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive().
- Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter).
- Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because
apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to
Johann Friedrichs).
- Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs).
- Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly).
- Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses"
to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf.
If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'.
- cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created.
- Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt().
- cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids.
- cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids
(thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels
that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use).
- cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas
Regel).
- Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types.
- The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved
into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their
primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order
to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will
be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing
capability.
- Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version
1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs).
- Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to
Anssi Hannula).
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice
class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of
its base class.
- Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments"
in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a
recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR
(based on a patch from Helmut Auer).
- Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to
Winfried Köhler).
- Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported
by Arthur Konovalov).
- Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf
Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual
representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores
the genre using the tag character 'G'.
- Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf
Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental
rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores
the parental rating using the tag character 'R'.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not
necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences!
- Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste.
- After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds,
so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data
from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only
works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all
the others on the same adapter.
- Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to
Anssi Hannula).

Version 1.7.10
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc. (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number (reported by Timothy D. Lenz). - Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de. - Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward compatible). - Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame. - Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt() (reported by Rene van den Braken). - Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame. - Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole GOP into one payload unit. - The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated). - The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to EAGAIN if the buffer is already full. - Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio() (thanks to Andreas Schaefers). - Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway. - Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by Diego Pierotto). |

Version 1.7.3
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed handling the 'pointer field' in generating and parsing PAT/PMT (thanks to
Frank Schmirler).
- Fixed handling modulation types for DVB-S transponders when processing the NIT.
- Changed cDvbDevice::GrabImage() to use V4L2 (thanks to Marco Schller).
- Added a poll to cDvbDevice::PlayVideo() and cDvbDevice::PlayAudio() to avoid
excessive CPU load (this is just a makeshift solution until the FF DVB cards
can play TS directly).
- The recording format is now Transport Stream. Existing recordings in PES format
can still be replayed and edited, but new recordings are done in TS.
All code for recording in PES has been removed.
The following changes were made to switch to TS recording format:
+ The index file format has been changed to support file sizes of up to 1TB
(previously 2GB), and up to 65535 separate files per recording (previously
255).
+ The recording file names are now of the form 00001.ts (previously 001.vdr).
+ The frame rate is now detected by looking at two subsequent PTS values.
The "frame duration" (in multiples of 1/90000) is stored in the info.vdr
file using the new tag F (thanks to Artur Skawina for helping to get the
IndexToHMSF() calculation right).
+ Several functions now have an additional parameter FramesPerSecond.
+ Several functions now have an additional parameter IsPesRecording.
+ The functionality of cFileWriter was moved into cRecorder, and cRemux is
now obsolete. This also avoids one level of data copying while recording.
+ cRemux, cRingBufferLinearPes, cTS2PES and all c*Repacker classes have been
removed.
+ A PAT/PMT is inserted before every independent frame, so that no extra
measures need to be taken when editing a recording.
+ The directory name for a recording has been changed from
YYYY-MM-DD-hh[.:]mm.pr.lt.rec (pr=priority, lt=lifetime) to
YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec (ch=channel, ri=resumeId).
Priority and Lifetime are now stored in the info.vdr file with the new
tags P and L (if no such file exists, the maximum values are assumed by
default, which avoids inadvertently deleting a recording if disk space
is low). No longer storing Priority and Lifetime in the directory name
avoids starting a new recording if one of these is changed in the timer
and the recording is re-started for some reason.
Instead of Priority and Lifetime, the directory name now contains the
channel number from which the recording was made, and the "resume id" of
this instance of VDR. This avoids problems if several VDR instances record
the same show on different channels, or even on the same channel.
The '-' between channel number and resumeId prevents older versions of
VDR from "seeing" these recordings, which makes sure they won't even try
to replay them, or remove them in case the disk runs full.
+ The semantics of PlayTs*() have been changed. These functions are now
required to return the given Length (which is TS_SIZE) if they have
processed the TS packet.
+ The files "index", "info", "marks" and "resume" within a TS recording
directory are now created without the ".vdr" extension.
+ The "resume" file is no longer a binary file, but contains tagged lines
to be able to store additional information, like the selected audio or
subtitle track.
+ cDevice::StillPicture() will now be called with either TS or PES data.
+ cDvbPlayer::Goto() no longer appends a "sequence end code" to the data.
If the output device needs this, it has to take care of it by itself.
- Fixed cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() to reset vpid and vtype when switching from
a video to an audio channel (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- cDvbDevice now uses the FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION flag to determine whether a device
can handle DVB-S2. The #define is still there to allow people with older drivers
who don't need DVB-S2 to use this version without pathcing.

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

Version 1.7.1
- Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile. - Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used by broadcasters from the beginning. - Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1". This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that they can correctly encode the strings. - No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig). - Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork). - First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format: + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets. + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively. + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets. + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes the TS data in Transfer Mode. + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a TS in order to find out which streams it contains. + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet. + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more. It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary device's PlayTs(). + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread. + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES packets. + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign. - Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting. - Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h (reported by Tobias Grimm). |

Version 1.7.0
- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to the previous version of VDR! - Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov). |

Version 1.5.18
- Added a missing reset of maxNumber in cChannels::Renumber() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Revoked the fixed change of the default character set for SI data and introduced an environment variable to control it (thanks to Ales Jurik for reporting broken SI data on the Czech/Slovak channels, which actually do follow the standard). Users who want to set the default character set to something different can do this by setting the environment variable VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to something like ISO-8859-9. - Fixed a signed character used as index in cBase64Encoder::NextLine() (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Spanish and Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Fixed automatically selecting the preferred subtitle language (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Fixed formatting the name section in the VDR man pages (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Magnus Andersson). - Added Russian translations to the 'skincurses' and 'pictures' plugins (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Fixed displaying the free disk space when entering the recordings menu where the last replayed recording was in a subdirectory, and pressing Back (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed tuning to a live channel after a recording has been stopped using the 'Back' key. - Resetting a timer's 'pending' flag when it has ended. |

Version 1.5.15
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types. - Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear in version 1.7.0. Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters. - Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse). - Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on a suggestion by Martin Wache). - Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin. - Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay, to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola). - The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()). - Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins, to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Walter Koch). - Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because it applies to non-VPS recordings as well. - Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT. - Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load(). - Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe) avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay. - Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with --vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter. - When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed) recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory) are no longer taken into account. - When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s). This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems, which would not add any free space to the video directory. - Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers (based on a patch from Benedikt Elser). - Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin. - Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin. - Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*() should be used. - Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins. |

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

Version 1.5.10
- Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing subtitle handling in VDR). - The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list of available subtitles. - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the preferred languages for subtitles. - Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode. - Implemented subtitle track selection. - Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors. - Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location of the subtitles in the vertical direction. - The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency" define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background color of subtitles. - Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in X 3 03 ger deutsch (see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence, so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording. - Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with --no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by Denis Knauf). - Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Christian Wieninger). - Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On' is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to Elias Luttinen). - Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the 'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file. Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n' target in their Makefiles, as in i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo) (based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel). - Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn). Same for the assign operator. - Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn). - Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). |

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

Version 1.5.3
- Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks
to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and
on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof
Parma and Helmut Auer).
- Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt
CAM's version 3.11 firmware.
- Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel).
The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu.
Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype.
- If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also
used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased".
The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off.
- The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD
in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing.
Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number
of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will
then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors
combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of
10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed.
- The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source.
- VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character
encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and
incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding.
- Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8
encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in
memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle
strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding
(see tools.h for details).
- Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8
characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still
use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled
correctly between systems with different character encodings.
- Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts.
- Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area.
- Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect
when the "Ok" key is pressed.

Version 1.4.4-1
- Some improvements to the man pages (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a possible segfault in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Made the getskyepg.pl script of the 'sky' plugin send a user agent message to the server, according to the rules at http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings. If your version of 'wget' doesn't support the -U option to set the user agent, use the new option -U of getskyepg.pl to have the information added to the URL as a query string. - The getskyepg.pl script now replaces "&" with "&". - Fixed a possible crash in remux.c on 64-bit machines (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a typo in the change to the "Use small font" setup option in version 1.3.47 in the HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS file (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing 'const' to cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() (reported by Andreas Brugger). This required the APIVERSION to be increased, so plugins will have to be recompiled. - Now calling cPluginManager::Active() only if VDR is really trying to shut down, and waiting for 5 minutes before calling it again (thanks to Jörg Wendel for reporting that cPlugin::Active() was called too often, and to Udo Richter for some hints on how to improve this). - Replaced 'unsigned long' with 'uint32_t' and 'uint64' with 'uint64_t' to avoid problems on 64-bit machines. |

Version 1.3.49
- Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed' expression). - Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino). - Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key (reported by Werner Färber). - Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb). - Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans). - Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device. |

Version 1.3.45
- Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu. - Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers. - cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the given min and max limits. - The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers. - Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help"). - Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false (thanks to Werner Fink). - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). - Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been deleted (reported by Hardy Flor). - Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of disk space (reported by Jan Lenz). - Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early). - Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer. - Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it then returns the one that just ended). - Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed (reported by Helmut Auer). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker). - Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Enhanced logging EPG event data. - Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt). - The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data' or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events. - The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning for events before the present event. - Fixed some #include sequences. - Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning. - The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds. |

Version 1.3.44
- Fixed setting the audio language codes in 'Transfer-Mode' (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). The actual problem was the call to the Transferring() function in cDevice::AttachPlayer() before assigning the player. - Fixed removing the '-' when entering a channel number where there is no other one that fits the input (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed the 'libsi' function CharArray::checkSize(), which made a previous workaround in libsi/descriptor.c obsolete (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - The "Ok" key in the "Jump" mode of the replay progress display now confirms the jump instead of closing the display (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The 'summary' field of a timer definition has been renamed to 'aux', and is now only used for external applications to store auxiliary information with a timer, which has no meaning whatsoever to VDR itself. The contents of the 'aux' field of a timer is copied into the recording's 'info.vdr' file, using the tag character '@'. - The description of a recording is now taken exclusively from its related EPG data. If an application wants to use a different description it needs to set it with SVDRP/PUTE and use table ID 0x00, so that it won't be overwritten (as a side effect, however, this also disables VPS for such an event). - There is no more "Summary" menu when pressing "Ok" in the "Timers" menu. The "Ok" key now always opens the "Edit timer" menu. - The upper 16 bit of a timer's "flags" are no longer treated specially when a timer is modified in the "Edit timer" menu. If an external application needs to know if a timer was modified, it has to keep a copy of the timer's data and compare that to the actual data. - The new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() can be used to retrieve the ID of the channel a recording was made from. - The 'info.vdr' file of a recording now also contains the 'E' and 'V' records of the EPG event used when creating it. - The option "Setup/OSD/Sort timers" has been removed. Timers are always sorted by their start time and priority. - The "Blue" key in the "Timers" menu now displays the EPG info of the event the selected timer will record (if available). The "On/Off" function has been shifted to the "Red" button. Editing a timer is done by pressing "Ok". - When determining which event a timer is going to record, all available events in the future are now taken into account (no more limit to 4 hours in the future). This has been done so that the event info is available in the "Timers" menu when pressing the "Blue" button. In order to avoid unnecessary work, each timer now has its own timestamp to control whether its schedule has changed since the last time its event has been set. - Fixed setting events to timers in case a non-VPS event has expired. - There is now a log message "timer ... set to event ..." when defining a timer from the EPG menu. - Lines tagged with '#' in the 'info.vdr' file of a recording are now silently ignored when reading that file (suggested by Peter Bieringer). Such lines can be used by external tools to store arbitrary information. - The 'event id' in EPG data has been extended to 32 bit, so that external tools can generate ids that don't collide with those from the DVB data stream (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - The DrawBitmap() function now has a new parameter 'Overlay' that allows a bitmap to be drawn with a transparent background (thanks to Alexander Hans). - Fixed cSchedule::GetFollowingEvent() in case there is currently no present event running (thanks to Pekka Mauno). |

Version 1.3.43
- Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur Skawina). - The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a string item (suggested by Markus Hahn). - Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts. - Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of 'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete() so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0. - Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of two codes, separated by '+'. - If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel, the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the channel's PID data. - Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken. - Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original" network id. |

c37734080c |
Version 1.3.41
- EPG events from epg.data or SVDRP's PUTE command now have their Title set to "No Title" if none was set. - Fixed checking toFile in cCuttingThread::Action() (found in a larger patch from Artur Skawina). - Fixed a crash when pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu on a channel that doesn't have any EPG data (reported ny Alexander Hans). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed a missing ',' in the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed handling the tfRecording flag when reading timers (bug reported by Andreas Mair). - Now checking whether the channel exists before setting the PMT filter in cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Now trying to reestablish the connection to the LIRC daemon in case it breaks (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed channel switching with the Down (Up) key in case the current channel is already the first (last) in the list (reported by Frank Krömmelbein). - Removed the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode - it's no longer necessary with recent driver/firmware versions. - The epg.data file is now written when VDR exits (suggested by Daniel Karsubka). - Fixed cTimers::GetNextActiveTimer() so that it won't return an expired timer (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed DVBS_TUNE_TIMEOUT and DVBC_TUNE_TIMEOUT to 9000ms to avoid problems with channels that have low symbol rates (reported by Suur Karu). - Fixed displaying the current audio track in the channel display. - When reading epg.data (or data from PUTE), the version number of events with table IDs smaller than 0x50 is now ignored because otherwise the current running status would not be set after a restart of VDR. - Implemented a timeout for remote controls that don't deliver "repeat" keypresses very fast (based on a suggestion by Luca Olivetti; problem with the new handling of k_Repeat keypresses in channel switching reported by Udo Richter). - When looking for the present or following EPG event, the running status is now always taken into account. - Now initializing the channels' schedule pointers when reading the epg.data file, so that the first WhatsOn menu will come up faster. - If a shutdown is requested, but the shutdown script doesn't actually halt the system, it is now tried again after 5 minutes (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Separated the 'install' target into several individual targets; renamed the 'plugins-install' target to 'install-plugins' (thanks to Helmut Auer). |

Version 1.3.39
- The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence() (thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf file. - To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root" is given. - Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä) - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option). - Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original patch by Ludwig Nussel). - Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle). - Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism introduced in version 1.3.32. - Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'. - Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko). - Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host (reported by Philippe Gramoullé). - Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each channel's schedule in the cChannel data. - Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error" (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels". This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series. Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the "All events on all channels" page may take a while. - The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus. - Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann). - Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling). |

Version 1.3.38
- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
(was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
actually removing it.
The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
(thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
(encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:
svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -
- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
'/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
Peña):
+ The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
(suggested by Darren Salt).
+ The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
+ Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
(suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
//#define USE_FADVISE
in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.

Version 1.3.34
- Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.5 (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). - Fixed opening recording folders in case the last replayed recording no longer exists (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed an unjustified "Error while accessing recording!" after deleting a recording from a subfolder. - Fixed handling the '.update' file in case the video directory is not at the default location (reported by Jon Burgess). - Fixed a crash in cConfig::Load() when compiling on the PPC (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the FATALERRNO macro to check for a non-zero errno value (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Added a check against MAXOSDAREAS in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed setting current menu item if the first one is non-selectable. - cOsdItem::cOsdItem() now has a 'Selectable' parameter. - Improved displaying 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu. - Added status message "Resetting CAM..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM reset has been triggered. - The CAM menu now automatically updates itself in case of a progress display (as used, for instance, when updating the firmware via satellite). - Now skipping some funny characters sent by some CAMs at the beginning of strings. - The CAM menu is now completely closed when pressing the Menu key while inside a sub menu. - Reduced MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES in ci.c to 2 (waiting too long made the whole thing appear hanging). - Added status message "Opening CAM menu..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM menu has been requested. - Speeded up initial opening of the CAM menu. - Fixed handling of menus with no selectable items. - The character 0x8A in CAM menu strings is now mapped to a real newline. - The 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu can now consist of several lines. - Improved the CAM enquiry menu. |

Version 1.3.32
- Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel Thompson). - Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested by Malcolm Caldwell). - Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to Lauri Tischler). - Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from SVDRP). - The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop. - Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG. - The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through the static function cRemote::CallPlugin(). - The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor). - The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1 (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'. - Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work. - Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode. - If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this). - Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this one). - Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick Rother for reporting this one). - Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text' (thanks to Carsten Koch). - Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher). |

Version 1.3.25
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Some cable providers don't mark short channel names according to the standard, but rather go their own way and use "name>short name". VDR now splits at this character for cable channels (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Added a check for Setup.DiSEqC in cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(), otherwise the EPG scan didn't work on systems that don't use DiSEqC (thanks to Michael Reinelt for reporting this one). - Made the Makefile patch friendlier (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Made cOsd::isOpen an integer counter to avoid problems with messages when a cOsdObject uses the raw OSD (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in 'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in summary2info.pl /video (the parameter given has to be the video directory). If there is no 'info.vdr' file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'. - The "Summary" button in the "Recordings" menu has been renamed to "Info", and the page it brings up now shows the recording's information, much like the EPG event page. Therefore it now no longer uses the skin's SetText() function, but rather the SetRecording() function. Skin plugins may need to adjust that function accordingly (see skinsttng.c, for instance). - The SVDRP command LSTR now lists the recording information in the same tagged format as the LSTE command lists the EPG data. - The audio track menu now contains track descriptions when replaying (provided such descriptions were available in the EPG data when the recording was made, and are stored in the info.vdr file). - Avoiding extra blanks at the end of names of instant recordings. - Removed converting byte order on big endian systems from cDvbOsd::Flush(), which, according to Johannes Stezenbach and Paavo Hartikainen, is wrong. - Added cPlayer::DeviceSetVideoDisplayFormat() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer saving the setup in case of a fatal error, to keep the volume level from being set to a wrong value (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible hangup when ending a replay session while cIndexFile::CatchUp() is waiting (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The SVDRP command DELR no longer deletes recordings that are currently being written to by a timer (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). - Pressing the "Play" key in live viewing mode now resumes a previous replay session (thanks to Mirko Dölle). - Now dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the NPTL and UTF-8 checks after the version and help output (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out that 'vdr --version' failed on an UTF-8 system). - Made tChannelID::operator==() inline for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - Introduced cListBase::count for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - cEvent no longer stores the channelID directly, but rather has a pointer to the schedule it is in. - Now using hash tables to speed up cSchedule::GetEvent() (partially based on a patch from Georg Acher). - Avoiding unnecessary calls to getLength() in libsi/si.c, and avoiding the '& 0xff' in CRC32::crc32() of libsi/util.c (thanks to Georg Acher). - Speeded up deleting duplicate channels. - Fixed listing recordings with empty episode names in the LSTR command (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Added cThread::SetPriority() and using it in cSectionHandler::Action() to reduce the priority of the section handler threads (as suggested by Georg Acher). |

Version 1.3.24
- Now including the optional user defined Make.config from the 'libsi' Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed a memory leak in tComponent (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt and Daniel Thompson). - Fixed a memory leak in cDvbPlayer (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added missing text internationalization for "Starting EPG scan" (thanks to Matthias Lötzke). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling transparent areas in cDvbSpuBitmap (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now also considering the "EPG linger time" when saving the EPG data to file or listing it via LSTE (thanks to Roman Krenický). - Fixed handling fragments of less than 4 byte in cPesAssembler (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a bug in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::getLength() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - When reading the channels.conf file, duplicate channels (i.e. ones that have the same channel ID) are now automatically deleted and only the first one is actually stored. - Fixed handling lifetime when deciding whether to delete a recording (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed timeout handling in cRwLock::Lock() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Since there are several places in thread.c where a timeout value is calculated, this has been put into a separate function. - The timer status now has a new bit that is set when that timer is currently recording (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). See man vdr(5) for details. - Removed scaling coordinates in letterbox mode from cDvbSpu - the DVD plugin, which was the only one needing this, doesn't need it any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer retuning or restarting a recording if only the language code of an audio or Dolby PID changes. - Now preferring budget cards when selecting a DVB device for recording. - Recordings now avoid zero sized video data files (thanks to Wolfgang Fitz). - Some rearrangements in cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a wrong inheritance in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::Subtitling (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). |

Version 1.3.23
- The setup option "DVB/Video display format" is now only available if "Video format"
is set to "4:3" (suggested by Mikko Salo).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Dropped CA support for the old '-icam' firmware.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Fixed a few French OSD texts that were in the wrong place.
- Improved matching timers to EPG events, especially in case there are several events
with the same VPS time.
- Fixed cDolbyRepacker to allow recording ProSieben HD broadcasts (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetVideoDisplayFormat() in case of 16:9 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The running status of a VPS event is now only taken seriously if that event has been
seen within the last 30 seconds - otherwise recording is done as if no VPS was
available.
- The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation ("YYYY-MM-DD") in
'timers.conf' and for the result of the SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a
patch by Roman Krenický).
- Some fixes to avoid compiler warnings in gcc 4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting
these).
- Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired.
- Fixed setting the colored button help after deleting a recording in case the next
menu entry is a directory (thanks to Steffen Beyer).
- Improved falling back to normal recording if the VPS data hasn't been seen for more
than 30 seconds.
- Added a missing cMutexLock to cRemote::HasKeys() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- All log entries regarding timers now contain a short description of the timer.

Version 1.3.19
- Making sure at least the default skin is available at program start in case a plugin needs to issue an error message (thanks to Achim Tuffentshammer for reporting a crash in such a case). Also checking if there is a current skin in cSkins::Message(). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts and fixed internationalization of the text for "Setup/DVB/Audio language(s)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Completed the Estonian OSD texts and switched to iso8859-13 character set (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Made cCondWait::SleepMs() sleep at least 3ms to avoid a possible busy wait. - Fixed canceling the LIRC thread (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - The "Green" button in the "Main" menu is now always "Audio", since the audio channel might be changed even if there is only one actual audio PID. - Fixed handling the '-E' option which was broken in version 1.3.18 (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Mainz (thanks to Michael Heyse). - Implemented cDolbyRepacker for better handling of Dolby Digital PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed playing files with PES packets longer than 2048 byte through the full featured DVB card (thanks to Marco Kremer for reporting this one and providing a test sample). - Recording and Transfer Mode now handle more than 2 audio PIDs. For this the interfaces of the following functions have been changed: cTransferControl::cTransferControl() cTransfer::cTransfer() cRecorder::cRecorder() cReceiver::cReceiver() cRemux::cRemux() - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() and cTSBuffer::Action() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Extended some buffer sizes to allow handling HDTV streams (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Düsseldorf and Köln (thanks to Walter Koch). - Falling back to 'stereo' when switching channels in case the user had switched to 'left' or 'right' (suggested by Rolf Groppe). - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Recording and Transfer Mode can now handle up to 8 Dolby Digital tracks (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for a patch that implements substream handling into cDevice::PlayPesPacket(), and Reinhard Nissl for adding substream handling to cDolbyRepacker). - Added PlayPes(NULL, 0) to cTransfer::Action() when clearing the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). |

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.

Version 1.3.15
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Uwe Hanke). - Added more checks and polling when getting frontend events (based on a patch from Werner Fink). - No longer explicitly waiting for a tuner lock when switching channels (apparently setting "live" PIDs before the tuner is locked doesn't hurt). Moved the wait into cDevice::AttachReceiver() instead. - Immediately displaying the new channel info when switching channel groups. - Moved the main program loop variables further up to allow compilation with older compiler versions (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - Now calling pthread_cond_broadcast() in the destructor of cCondWait and cCondVar to make sure any sleepers will wake up (suggested by Werner Fink). Also using pthread_cond_broadcast() instead of pthread_cond_signal() in cCondWait, in case there is more than one sleeper. - Making sure that timers and channels are only saved together, in a consistent manner (thanks to Mirko Dölle for reporting a problem with inconsistent channel and timer lists). - Now handling the channel name, short name and provider separately. cChannel therefore has two new functions, ShortName() and Provider(). ShortName() can be used to display a short version of the name (in case such a version is available). The optional boolean parameter of ShortName() can be set to true to make it return the name, if no short name is available. The sequence of 'name' and 'short name' in the channels.conf file has been swapped (see man vdr(5)). - Added the 'portal name' to cChannels (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling key codes that start with 0x1B in the KBD remote control code. - Now using qsort() to sort cListBase lists. For this, the virtual function cListObject::operator<() has been replaced with cListObject::Compare(). Plugins that implement derived cListObject classes may need to adjust their code. - The "Channels" menu can now be sorted "by number" (default), "by name" and "by provider". While in the "Channels" menu, pressing the '0' key switches through these modes. - Fixed the buffer size in cRecording::SortName(). - Now displaying the name of the remote control for which the keys are being learned inside the menu to avoid overwriting the date/time in the 'classic' skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). |

Version 1.3.12
- Removed all error messages from cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() and just skipping entries that cause errors in order to avoid failure in case of things like broken links etc. - The function cTimers::SetEvents() now immediately returns if there is some user input. - Fixed handling menu status messages when the list contents is scrolled (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed checking the last area for misalignment in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - No longer adding section filters to the list of filters if they can't be opened (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling section filters (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling CAM connections. - Making sure the OSD reports oeWrongAlignment errors before any oeAreasOverlap error (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Avoiding flashing effects in the OSD of full featured DVB cards by explicitly clearing the OSD windows before opening them (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - Experimental support for NVOD channels. Currently these channels are detected and linked to their "base" channels using the same mechanisms as for the "linked services" (let's see if this is useful). Thanks to Mike parker for helping to test this. Also used some input from the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz). - Now storing the name of the service provider (aka "bouquet") in the channel name, separated by a semicolon (see man vdr(5) for details). Explicit usage of the various parts of the channel name is yet to come. - The 'radio' channel icon is now only displayed in the ST:TNG skin if the channel actually has an APID. |
