Klaus Schmidinger	4c5de28883	Version 1.3.28 ... - Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache). - Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings. - Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating VPS timers to stop recording prematurely. - Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one). - Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt). - Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a problem with this). - Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out a problem with it). - Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this). - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this). - Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks to Andreas Böttger). - Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2005-08-07 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	e36fe18c48	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).	2005-01-23 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	af483c11ae	Version 1.3.13 ... - Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo). - Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock (thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to Marco Schlüssler). - Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland). - Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the ring buffer. - Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'. - Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid an "almost full" ring buffer. - Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for the new usage of cTSBuffer). - cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using cRemux will need to be modified accordingly. - The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to improve the overall throughput. - Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with each call, not just 2048 byte. - Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h. - Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible "near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still uses it in cRemote). - The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows). - Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing). - Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo Tykkala for pointing out this problem). - cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to the log file). - Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing this out). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested by Wayne Keer). - Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter). - Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun). - Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun). - Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently active. - Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead checking if the channel has a non-zero number. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).	2004-10-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5a4eb3f104	Version 1.3.5 ... - Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'. - Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither a video nor an audio PID. - Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID, TID and RID are now set to 0). - Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5) for details about the enhanced channel ID format. - Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested. The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line //#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1 in VDR/dvbdevice.c. - Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data from www.bleb.org. - Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder (necessary for the 'sky' plugin). - Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode. - Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing the VPS function for recording. - Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data. - The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time. - Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running, will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the 'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have a start time that is in the future, but are already running. - Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'. - Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label") for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists and is different than the event's start time. - Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme. The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature (see MANUAL for details). Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be called "safe"! - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event, whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu" for details).	2004-02-29 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	0686038af3	Version 1.1.29 ... - Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the 'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions). - Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one). - Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas Schultz). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number, start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl). - Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL (suggested by Benjamin Harling). - Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen). - Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting this one). - Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds. - The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk usage (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).	2003-04-27 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1a8a081629	Version 1.1.15 ... - Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver. The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later. - Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version. - Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice. - Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for pointing out this one). - The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user can overwrite. - Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!). - Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current service ID). - Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe. - Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html under "Dolby Digital"). The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated. Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear() or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please take a look at this and maybe send patches. Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x. Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the cAudio objects. - Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE, which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary DVB device in case there are problems with this.	2002-11-03 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	cd7ccd64fd	Version 1.1.13 ... - Added cDevice::DeviceNumber() to get the number of a device, not counting any gaps that might be in the index count. - Fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next event. - Adapted type names to the new HEAD version of the driver (which the previous NEWSTRUCT branch has been merged into). Note that to use this driver version you still need to add NEWSTRUCT=1 to the make call when building VDR. You need a HEAD version of the LinuxDVB driver dated 2002-10-11 or later to compile VDR with NEWSTRUCT=1. - Fixed radio channels in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele and Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed switching the video format in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Uwe Scheffler for reporting this one). - Reactivated full handling of second audio PID (even in 'Transfer Mode'). - Fixed a crash when closing down with remote control plugins (thanks to Oliver Endriss helping to debug this one). - Commands in the file 'commands.conf' can now have a '?' at the end of their title, which will result in a confirmation prompt before executing the command. - Changed a few leftover 'new char[...]' to MALLOC(char, ...). - If a command executed from the "Commands" menu doesn't return any output, the OSD will now be closed automatically. - The SVDRP command PUTE now triggers an immediate write of the 'epg.data' file (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). - The new configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define commands that shall be executed from the "Recordings" menu; see MANUAL and 'man vdr(5)' for details (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).	2002-10-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ed643353b1	Version 1.1.7 ... - Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with 'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice). By default it currently still uses the old driver. - Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!", since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people. - Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this in his DXR3 plugin). - cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall check if any of its file handles is ready for data. - Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.	2002-08-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	527748826c	Version 1.1.6 ... - Re-visited the race condition fix in the cDvbPlayer (thanks again to Andreas Schultz). - Changed the VFAT handling to allow users who normally use it but have forgotten to set it when compiling a new version of VDR to at least see their recordings made with VFAT enabled (thanks to Christian Rienecker). - Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Joerg Riechardt). - Fixed PID handling for cReceiver. - Added a missing #include to ringbuffer.c (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Now using CC, CFLAGS, CXX and CXXFLAGS in Makefile. - Changed the cDevice class to allow plugins to implement their own devices (see PLUGINS.html for details).	2002-08-04 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8f9cc68f76	Version 0.85 ... - Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to J�rgen Tvedt). - Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). - Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). - Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich R�der). - Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). - Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. - Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. - Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks to Guido Fiala). - When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). - When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful setting of the mark. - Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Sch�chner). Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of several PW channels has been changed. - Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". - Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). - Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a replay session is started immediately after that. - Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. - Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode').	2001-07-29 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	610c5600df	Version 0.72 ... - Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if no channels or timers are defined. - Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke). - Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being replayed. - Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time was set. - Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor. - Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts. - Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer). - Fixed setting system time from transponders. - Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information. - The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it. - Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of recordings. - Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen). - The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal (thanks to J�rgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL). - Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card, recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for systems with three or more DVB cards. - Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke. - Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR. - VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump). - SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the Windows 'telnet'). - Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages. - New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data. - The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns.	2001-04-01 18:00:00 +02:00
