Klaus Schmidinger	5117f35938	Version 1.7.26 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.26 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.26.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.25-1.7.26.diff MD5 checksums: eb57398e44935ecb0bfc532bdfead312 vdr-1.7.26.tar.bz2 62e0f39e2c53ec2b5abd3ebb0e00ce3d vdr-1.7.25-1.7.26.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: - Now checking for NULL in cOsd::AddPixmap() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down in %s minutes" (thanks to Frank Neumann). - The replay progress display is now turned on whenever a mark is toggled (not only when one is set). - Toggling a mark now restarts the timeout of the replay progress display. - Fixed a possible race condition with the SVDRP commands CLRE and PUTE, where EPG data from the transponder could be handled even though it shouldn't be handled for 10 seconds. - Added some missing member initializations in cBitmap. - Improved displaying the play mode in the ST:TNG skin. - Made the ST:TNG skin the default in case the user selected skin is not available. - Improved displaying signal strength and quality in the ST:TNG skin's channel display. - Fixed switching devices to the transponders of VPS recordings in case there are only bonded devices. The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced by using "occupied". - Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded with an other one. - Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel. - Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView. Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter 'bool LiveView' to that function. - Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like "changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference between the old and new set of pids. - Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio. - The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious). - Revoked "If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored". - Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers. + A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions. + The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped. For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0' can be used to have them handled like in previous versions. + The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF, which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data. See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.	2012-03-11 18:00:38 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	3df1b6d139	Version 1.7.25 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.25 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.25.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.24-1.7.25.diff MD5 checksums: a3fd482a3dd8027706d4f32a88c6bd13 vdr-1.7.25.tar.bz2 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.	2012-03-10 23:52:09 +01:00
