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.
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.

From the HISTORY file:
- Added some missing 'const' to tChannelID (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- The isnumber() function now checks the given pointer for NULL (thanks to Holger
Dengler).
- Now checking Setup.InitialChannel for NULL before using it (reported by
Christoph Haubrich).
- cSkins::Message() now blocks calls from background threads (thanks to Michael
Eiler for reporting a crash in such a scenario).
- Fixed the return value of the svdrpsend.pl script in case of an error (thanks to
Jonas Diemer).
- Increased MAXCAIDS to 12 (thanks to Jerome Lacarriere).
- Fixed handling DiSEqC codes (thanks to Mark Hawes for reporting the bug, and
Udo Richter for suggesting the fix).
- Added a mechanism to defer timer handling in case of problems (reported by
Frank Niederwipper).
- Fixed distortions that happened when splitting recording into several files
(was a side effect of "Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or
Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries" in version 1.7.19).
cRecorder::Action() now buffers TS packets in case the frame type is
not yet known when a new payload starts. This adds no overhead for channels
that broadcast the frame type within the first TS packet of a payload; it only
kicks in if that information is not in the first TS packet.
- Fixed handling the channelID in cMenuEditChanItem (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cStringList::Sort() can now be called with a boolean parameter that controls
case insensitive sorting (suggested by Sundararaj Reel).
- Now scanning new transponders before old ones, to make sure transponder changes
are recognized (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented static cIndexFile::IndexFileName().
- The length (as number of frames) of a recording's index file can now be determined
by a call to cIndexFile::GetLength() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed some crashes in subtitle display (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Made DELETENULL() thread safe (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The pic2mpg script of the 'pictures' plugin now generates HD images (thanks to
Andre Weidemann for his support in using convert/ffmpeg). The old SD version is
still available as pic2mpg-sd.
- Added a mutex to protect cOsd::Osds from simultaneous access from different threads
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The cutter now sets the 'broken link' flag for MPEG2 TS recordings (thanks to
Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed language code entry for Portuguese.
- The new command line options --filesize (suggested by Marco Göbenich) and --split
can be used together with --edit to set the maximum video file size and turn on
splitting edited files at the editing marks. These options must be given before
--edit to have an effect.
- cTimeMs is no longer initialized to the current time if the value given to the
constructor is negative (avoids the "cTimeMs: using monotonic clock..." log message
before VDR's starting log message).

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 introduces 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.
Since apparently the various frontend drivers return different maximum
values in their FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH and FE_READ_SNR functions (some
deliver a value in the range 0x0000...0xFFFF, while others return values
as "dB/10" or "dBm/10" (the latter with an offset to make the value positive,
since the parameter is unsigned), the functions cDvbTuner::GetSignalStrength()
and cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() use the device's "subsystem ID" to
map these values into the range 0...100, which is the normalized return
value of these functions.
Take a look at these two functions and maybe remove the comment characters
from the lines
//#define DEBUG_SIGNALSTRENGTH
//#define DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY
in dvbdevice.c to get some debug output if your device doesn't return any
directly useful values and may have to be added appropriately to the
'switch (subsystemId)' statement.
The channel display of the 'sttng' skin uses these values to implement
a signal strength/quality display.
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed cString's operator=(const char *String) in case the given string is the
same as the existing one (thanks to Dirk Leber).
- Avoiding a gcc 4.6 compiler error in the skincurses plugin (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- TsGetPayload() now checks if there actually is a payload in the given TS packet
(reported by Dirk Leber).
- Now sorting the source file names in the call to xgettext, to make sure the results
are not dependent on the sequence of the files.
Plugin authors may want to change the line containing the xgettext call in their
Makefile accordingly by changing "$^" to "`ls $^`".
- The primary device is now only avoided for recording if it is an old SD full
featured card. This is done through the new function cDevice::AvoidRecording().
- Subtitle PIDs are now also decrypted (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDiseqc::Execute() (reported by Marco Göbenich).
The return value of cDiseqcs::Get() is now const, so plugin authors may need to
adjust their code if they use this function.
- The new functions cDevice::SignalStrength() and cDevice::SignalQuality() can be
used to determine the signal strength and quality of a given device (thanks to
Rolf Ahrenberg for some input on how to use BER and UNC values to generate a
"quality" value).
- The 'sttng' skin now displays two colored bars at the bottom of the channel display,
indicating the strength (upper bar) and quality (lower bar) of the received signal.
The number to the left of these bars indicates the actual device the current
channel is being received with.
- Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter
extends over TS packet boundaries (reported by Johan Andersson).
In order to fix this, the semantics of cFrameDetector had to be changed a little.
See cRecorder::Action() and cIndexFileGenerator::Action() on how to use the new
cFrameDetector::NewPayload() function.
- The frame detector now only starts collecting PTS values after it has seen the
first I-frame, otherwise it might get MaxPtsValues values and stop analyzing
even though the incoming data is still garbage (reported by Derek Kelly).
- The info file of a recording is now only overwritten with a new fps value if
that new value is not the default value (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting a
problem with the fps value being overwritten in case a recording was interrupted
and resumed, and the fps value could not be determined after resuming recording).
- The initial channel is now stored by the channel ID in the setup.conf file, in
order to avoid problems in case channels are reordered or deleted (reported by
Lars Bläser).
- Added support for "content identifier descriptor" and "default authority descriptor"
to 'libsi' (thanks to Dave Pickles).

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 1.7.13
- 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:

- 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 1.7.9
- Fixed storing the current OSD size in case the device has changed it in its setup menu (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() in case only part of the buffer has been accepted by the device (reported by Udo Richter). - Changed the EIT filter setup to save a few handles on devices that do hardware filtering. - Fixed deleting expired timers if they have the VPS flag set, but the event they are assigned to doesn't have a VPS tag. - Fixed handling file name length on VFAT systems in case they contain UTF-8 characters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed generating CaPmts in case audio and video are encrypted using different ECM pids. - Updated vdr.1 to use the new file names in recording directories. - Fixed cRecordings::DelByName() to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Increased the value of MAXFRAMESIZE to better suit HD recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented full handling of subtitling descriptors (thanks to Mikko Tuumanen). |

Version 1.7.8
- The name of the function cDevice::GetVideoSize() wasn't very well chosen for its purpose of defining the optimum size of the OSD for the current output device. Therefore a new function named cDevice::GetOsdSize() has been introduced (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. cDevice::GetVideoSize() still exists and should return the actual size of the video material that is currently replayed. Note that because of the many possible aspect ratios for video material, the type of the Aspect parameter of GetVideoSize() has been changed to 'double', and the Aspect parameter in both functions is named differently, because it returns different values (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). Thanks to Oliver Endriss for his input on calculating the Aspect factor in GetOsdSize(). - Fixed the way the OSD size is determined on full featured DVB cards (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Increased MAXOSDHEIGHT to 1200 (suggested by Nicolas Huillard). - Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling. - Checking fd_video in cDvbDevice::GetVideoSize() to avoid error messages on systems with no real primary replay device (reported by Martin Neuditschko). - Added a note to cTsToPes::GetPes() about having to call it repeatedly, once it has returned a non-NULL value. - Added MPEG 1 handling to remux.c (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Fixed use of time_t in cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Added missing update of lastOsdSizeUpdate. - EIT events are now only processed if a plausible system time is available, to avoid wrong handling of PDC descriptors (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Removed unused 'synced' member from cTsToPes (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note to cTsToPes about all TS packets having to belong to the same PID, and that for video data GetPes() may only be called if the next TS packet that will be given to PutTs() has the "payload start" flag set (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Added a note about the meaning of PERCENTAGEDELTA in cRingBuffer::UpdatePercentage() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "Recording/Pause key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Pause key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (thanks to Timo Eskola). - Added a note about cFont::GetFont() not being thread-safe. - Fixed generating PAT/PMT version numbers in case the PIDs change during recording (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Fixed a memory leak when reaching the end of a recording during replay (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed calling close(-1) in cUnbufferedFile::Close() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a workaround for the broken linux-dvb driver header files (based on a patch from Tobias Grimm). - Fixed handling the length of DiSEqC command sequences (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cOsdMenu::Display() in case the menu size has changed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added some missing 'const' keywords to avoid compilation errors with gcc 4.4 (thanks to Ville Skyttä and Ludwig Nussel). - Modified cSVDRP::CmdGRAB() to avoid writing into const data (reported by Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed calculating menu colum widths in case the font has a size other than the default size (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added a plausibility check for the OSD percentage parameters to avoid problems in case the values are stored in the setup.conf file in a wrong way. - Fixed variable types in cIndexFile (reported by Udo Richter). |

Version 1.7.7
- The new function cDevice::GetVideoSize() returns the size and aspect ratio of the video material currently displayed. This function is used to determine the proper size of the OSD. Plugin authors should implement this function in classes derived from cDevice, if they are able to replay video. - The OSD and font sizes are now defined in percent of the actual video display size. The maximum OSD size has been raised to 1920x1080, to allow full screen OSD on HD systems. - The OSD size is now automatically adjusted to the actual video display (provided the output device implements the GetVideoSize() function). - cFrameDetector::Analyze() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting broken index generation after a buffer overflow). |

Version 1.7.6
- cDevice::PlayTs() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes. - Made MAXFRAMESIZE a multiple of TS_SIZE to avoid breaking up TS packets. - No longer resetting the patPmtParser in cDevice::PlayTs(), because this caused the selected audio and subtitle tracks to fall back to the default. - The SVDRP command PUTE now supports reading the EPG data from a given file (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Added cThread::SetIOPriority() and using it in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed the MEGABYTE() macro to make it correctly handle parameters resulting in values larger than 2GB. - Added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() to PLUGINS.html (was missing since it had been implemented). - Fixed distortions when switching to the next file during replay. - Fixed detecting the frame rate for streams with PTS distances of 1800, which apparently split one frame over two payload units. - Added missing 'const' to cRecording::FramesPerSecond() (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Any TS packets in the first "frame" after a cut in an edited recording that don't belong to a payload unit that started in that frame now get their TEI flag set, so that a decoder will ignore them together with any PES data collected for that PID so far (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting chirping sound disturbences at editing points in TS recordings). - cDvbPlayer::Empty() subtracts 1 from readIndex, because Action() will first increment it. - Only storing non-zero Pts values in ptsIndex. - Added a note to the INSTALL file about using subdirectories to split a large disk into separate areas for VDR's video data and other stuff (suggested by Udo Richter). |

Version 1.7.5
- Fixed a hangup when replaying a TS recording with subtitles activated (reported
by Timo Helkio).
- Fixed handling the 'new' indicator in the recordings menu for TS recordings
(thanks to Derek Kelly).
- Added cap_sys_nice to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Added cRecordingInfo::GetEvent() (thanks to Marcel Unbehaun).
- Improved synchronizing the progress display, trick modes and subtitle display
to the actual audio/video. This now works independent of any buffer sizes the
output device might use.
+ The cBackTrace class has been replaced with cPtsIndex, which keeps track
of the PTS timestamps of recently played frames.
+ cDevice::GetSTC() is now required to deliver the STC even in trick modes.
It is sufficient if it returns the PTS of the most recently presented
audio/video frame.
+ The full-featured DVB cards need an improved firmware in order to return
proper STC values in trick modes (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the
av7110 firmware).
- Adapted cFrameDetector::Analyze() to HD NTSC broadcasts that split frames over
several payload units (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting this and helping in
testing).
- Modified cFrameDetector::Analyze() to make it process whole frames at once, so
that file I/O overhead is minimized during recording (reported by Günter
Niedermeier).
- Added command line help for the '-i' option.
- Fixed cDvbPlayer::NextFile() to handle files larger than 2GB (thanks to Jose
Alberto Reguero).
- Improved replay at the begin and end of a recording. The very first and very last
frame is now sent to the output device repeatedly until GetSTC() reports that it
has been played. cDvbPlayer::Action() no longer calls DeviceFlush() (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl for making sure vdr-xine no longer needs this).
- Added missing '[]' to the delete operator in cMenuEditStrItem::~cMenuEditStrItem().
- Added missing virtual destructor to cPalette.
- Now freeing configDirectory before setting it to a new value in
cPlugin::SetConfigDirectory().
- Fixed a crash when jumping to an editing mark in an audio recording.
- Fixed the 'VideoOnly' condition in the PlayPes() and PlayTs() calls in
cDvbPlayer::Action() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- cDevice::PlayTs() now plays as many TS packets as possible in one call.
- Making sure any floating point numbers written use a decimal point (thanks to
Oliver Endriss for pointing out a problem with the F record in the info file of
a recording).
- Fixed detecting the frame rate for radio recordings.
- Added missing AUDIO_PAUSE/AUDIO_CONTINUE calls to cDvbDevice (thanks to Oliver
Endriss).
- No longer writing the video type into channels.conf if VPID is 0 (thanks to
Oliver Endriss for reporting this).
- Improved efficiency of cEIT::cEIT() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).

Version 1.7.4
- Removed the '#define FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION', since it was wrong and the flag is now in the driver, anyway. - The full-featured DVB cards are now given the TS data directly for replay (thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 driver to make it replay TS data). The patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_ts_replay__1.diff implements this change in the driver. The patch av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff mentioned in version 1.7.2 is still necessary to avoid audio and video glitches on some channels. - Added a typecast in cUnbufferedFile::Write() to avoid an error message when compiling on 64 bit systems. - Added some missing 'const' statements to cBitmap (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Fixed returning complete PES packets in cTsToPes::GetPes() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing Detach() in cTransfer::Activate() (thanks to Marco Schller). - Added clearing the TS buffers in cDevice::Detach() (thanks to Marco Schller). - Fixed incrementing the continuity counter in cPatPmtGenerator::GetPmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed removing deleted recordings in case there is a problem. Once a recording caused a problem with removing, no others were removed any more and an ongoing recording could fill up the disk and cause other recordings to be deleted automatically (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Added "DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to Make.config.template (thanks to Johann Friedrichs for pointing this out). Plugin authors should add this line to their Makefile or Make.config if they use file access functions that need special versions for 64 bit offsets. - The new command line option -i can be used to set an "instance id", which will be used to distinguish recordings of the same broadcast made by different instances of VDR (suggested by Frank Schmirler). This replaces the use of the "resume id" that was introduced in version 1.7.3. - Added checking mutexCurrentAudioTrack to cDevice::PlayTs() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing this out). - Fixed handling the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Frank Schmirler - sorry I swapped two lines when adopting the original patch). - Checking the remaining packet length after processing the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePat() and cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Checking the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() only in 'payload start' packets (suggested by Frank Schmirler). - Changed cPatPmtGenerator to make sure the PMT pid doesn't collide with any of the actual pids of the channel. - Fixed cDevice::PlayTsAudio() and made cDevice::PlayTsVideo() return 0 if PlayVideo() didn't play anything. - Added an 'int' typecast to calculations involving FramesPerSecond() to avoid compiler warnings (reported by Winfried Koehler). - Fixed detecting frames for pure audio recordings. - Fixed editing PES recordings. The frame type in the index.vdr file generated for the edited PES recording is set to 1 for I-frames and 2 for all others (P- and B-frames). The exact frame type doesn't matter for VDR, it only needs to know if it's an I-frame or not. - The PAT/PMT is now only processed if its version changes (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the maximum video file size (reported by Udo Richter). - Improved fast-forward/-rewind for audio recordings. The actual data is now sent to the output device, so that it can be replayed and thus cause the proper delay. For pure audio recordings the audio is no longer muted in fast-forward/-rewind mode, so that some orientation regarding the position within the recording is possible. There may still be some offset in the replay position displayed by the progress indicator when switching from fast-forward/-rewind to play mode, as well as in the current position during normal play mode. This is due to the various buffers between the player and the output device and will be addressed later. Note the new function cDevice::IsPlayingVideo(), which is used to inform the player whether there is video data in the currently replayed stream. If a derived cDevice class reimplements PlayTs() or PlayPes(), it also needs to make sure this new function works as expected. |

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 1.5.13
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason. - The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay. - cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear(). - Added cString::Truncate(). - Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the initial *.pot file. - Fixed handling the '-l' option. - Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8 (reported by Jiri Dobry). - The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer. See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details. - The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter). - Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel). - Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess). |

Version 1.5.11
- Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä); - Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter). - Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter). - Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering strings (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets". - Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active. - Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode. - Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi). - Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target of their Makefiles. - Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer). |

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 1.5.1
- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin). - Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache). - Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich). - Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter). - Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter). - The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter). - cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(). - Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes" text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file. - Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a discussion with Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key. |

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 1.3.47
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the
new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther).
- Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren
Salt).
- Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem.
- Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported
by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey().
- Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to
Richard Lithvall).
- Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag
and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by
Tobias Grimm).
- Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt).
- Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon
request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv).
- The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay.
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it
is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch
from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with
no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz).
- In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header
files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR
Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location
other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config
file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your
own, you should add the lines
ifdef DVBDIR
INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include
endif
to its end, as in the new Make.config.template.
Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this:

Thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this problem.
- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).
See MANUAL for details.
- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to
allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this
version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because
the values have been shifted.
- The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be
used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the
VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should
have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this:

- If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is
already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes
directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further
changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by
Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin).
- Added format check to syslog_with_tid().
- Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory
(since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog
timer won't hit).
- Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small
font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny
Kornexl).
- No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in
recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem
with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged
with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is
no need to actually rename them.
- The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells
the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by
Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending
and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command
PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails.
- The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform
actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great
care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.

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 1.3.42
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record (reported by Thomas Koch). - Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of your texts. - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter). - Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary) device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by Reinhard Nissl). - The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option when you call 'runvdr'. - Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu (reported by Christian Jacobsen). - Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by Sebastian Frei). - Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt). - Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer). - Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger). |

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 1.3.32
- 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 1.3.31
- Added missing German OSD texts for 'Audio language'. - The Setup/CICAM menu now only contains the devices that actually have a CI and dynamically detects the number of slots a CI provides. - Implemented cAudioRepacker for better handling of audio PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Modified handling of audio packets for radio channels in remux.c (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed the EPG scan, so that it doesn't use the primary device if that is currently in Transfer-Mode from itself (thanks to Marcus Hilbrich for a bug report that lead to this). - Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() since it caused more trouble than it fixed. - Fixed detecting short channel names for "Kabel Deutschland", who uses a comma as delimiter (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Moved cMenuEditTimer and cMenuEvent to menu.h so that plugins can use it (suggested by Thomas Günther). - The new static function cString::sprintf() can be used to easily create a formatted string. - Plugins can now implement their own SVDRP commands (based on a patch from Hardy Flor). See PLUGINS.html, section "SVDRP commands" for details. The SVDRP commands of a plugin are accessed through the new SVDRP command PLUG. See PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo for an example of how to use this feature. - The new SVDRP command PLAY can be used to start replaying a recording (thanks to Hardy Flor). - The new SVDRP command EDIT can be used to start the editing process of a recording (based on the CUTR patch by Harald Milz). |

Version 1.3.30
- Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus. - Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs that actually use it. - Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR. - Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter). See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details. - Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to David Woodhouse for his help). |

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). |

Version 1.3.27
- Fixed handling 'page down', which was broken in version 1.3.26 (thanks to Udo Richter). - Modified page scrolling behaviour (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann). - The new setup option "OSD/Scroll wraps" can be used to activate wrapping around in menu lists (based on a suggestion by Patrick Gleichmann). - Removed the NPTL check at startup, since several users have reported that VDR now runs fine with NPTL. - Fixed handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. - Disabled cVideoRepacker in remux.c, because it has caused several problems during recording. If you want to test (and maybe debug) it, activate the line //#define TEST_cVideoRepacker in remux.c. - When drawing a bitmap to the OSD, the existing palette of the target can now be replaced with the new one instead of adding the new entries (thanks to Andreas Regel). |

Version 1.3.26
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling 'summary.vdr' files with more than two empty lines (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Improved resetting CAM connections (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented cVideoRepacker in remux.c to make sure every PES packet contains only data from one frame (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). NOTE: currently this doesn't work with MPEG1, so if you use MPEG1 you may want to change line 1158 in remux.c to ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(VPid, resultBuffer, IPACKS); as it was before. - EPG events without a title now display "No title" instead of "(null)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - A device can now detach all receivers for a given PID, as is necessary, e.g., for the bitstreamout plugin (thanks to Werner Fink). - Added the year (two digits) to recording dates in LSTR, and thus also in menus (suggested by Jan Ekholm). - Fixed the call to Channels.Unlock() in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling timers with a day given as MTWTF--@6, i.e. a repeating timer with first day not as full date, but just day of month (thanks to Henrik Niehaus for reporting this one). - Removed an unnecessary #include from osd.c (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Fixed dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration, in case it's an NVOD event (thanks to Chris Warren). - Fixed handling page up/down in menu lists in case there are several non selectable items in a row (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Added cOsdMenu::SetCols() to allow adjusting the menu columns. - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it works on systems with only budget cards or a mix of DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards. |

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 1.3.21
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() to avoid a blank screen after switching back to live mode if a recording is currently active on the primary device. - Fixed a possible freeze in pause mode in case a device's PlayPesPacket() function permanently returns 0 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl and Olaf Titz). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Restricted the "setting audio track" log message to automatic changes during replay. - Fixed handling Transfer Mode for radio channels (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Forcing a new resync after a call to cRemux::Clear() (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - The cAudio::Play() function now has an additional parameter 'uchar Id' which tells the function the substream id of the given audio packet, so that a plugin can take the right action for the various kinds if audio data - which now also includes "normal" audio with ids 0xC0...0xDF (based on suggestions by Werner Fink and Macro Schlüßler). - Removed the "Cleared/PlayPes(NULL, 0)" handling from cTransfer::Action(), since this is now done when attaching the player to the device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Making sure the buffer reserve in cTransfer::Action() is re-established after clearing the buffer. - Added DeviceClrAvailableTracks() and DeviceSetCurrentAudioTrack() to cPlayer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a typo in detecting UTF-8 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now using twice the buffer reserve in cTransfer if the primary DVB card is an unmodified version with only 2MB of SDRAM, to avoid audio stuttering when playing Dolby Digital over the DVB card (thanks to Christian Jacobsen and Chad Flynt for suggestions and experiments in that area). - Making sure the first audio packet is not dropped when switching to "pre 1.3.19 Dolby Digital compatibility mode". - The 'plugins-clean' target of the Makefile now only deletes the actual plugin library files from this version of VDR (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - Added a missing 'resultSkipped = 0' to cRemux::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - The new function cDvbDevice::SetTransferModeForDolbyDigital() can be used by plugins that implement Dolby Digital output and thus want to prevent the cDvbDevice from starting Transfer Mode in order to replay DD over the DVB device. - Added missing reset of the 'repacker' to cTS2PES::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). |

Version 1.3.20
- Fixed displaying the "Audio" menu with the "Green" button from the "Main" menu in case there is only one audio track (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Now setting primaryDevice = NULL before deleting the devices in cDevice::Shutdown() to avoid problems in case other threads access it (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing this out). - Fixed a buffer overflow in case a station defines all 32 audio PIDs (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Fixed masking SubStreamType in cDevice::PlayPesPacket() (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out this one). - The new function cPlugin::Stop() shall be used to stop any background activities of a plugin. Previously this was done in the plugin's destructor, but it is better to do this in a dedicated function that can be called early when shutting down. - Moved the call to SetAudioChannel(0) into cDevice::ClrAvailableTracks() to have it executed also when starting a replay. - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - The new setup option "OSD/Channel info time" can be used to define the time after which the channel display is removed if no key has been pressed (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Modified cDolbyRepacker to make sure PES packets don't exceed the requested length (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed several memory leaks that were introduced through the use of cString (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting these). - Added CMD_SPU_CHG_COLCON to cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Making sure the current audio track is actually one of the ones available in a recording (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting a problem when starting replay of a recording that has no Dolby Digital audio after switching to a channel that has DD and selecting the DD audio track). - Removed 'flags' from tTrackId (thought we would need this, but apparently we don't). - Making sure the "Mute" and "Volume+/-" keys don't interfere with digital audio. - Fixed the "pre 1.3.19" compatibility mode for old Dolby Digital recordings (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out that this can be triggered in the default branch). - Calling pesAssembler->Reset() in cDevice::AttachPlayer() to avoid problems with residual data in replay and Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out). - Added MPEG1 replay capability to cPesAssembler (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). |

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 1.3.17
- Fixed cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() to make sure it doesn't access memory beyond the end of the given buffer, which has caused some unjustified "unknown picture type errors" (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when pausing live video and the recording was unable to start, maybe because there was no lock on the device (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting this one). - Fixed some characters in the iso8859-2 font file (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed some errors in the Croatian language texts (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed a possible recursion in cControl::Shutdown() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Now setting the VPID before the APID in live mode to avoid unnecessary overhead in the firmware (thanks to Werner Fink). - Now checking available OSD memory at runtime (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Olaf Titz). - Fixed handling childTid in cThread to avoid possible race conditions (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Fixed toggling the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu, so that it selects the right day of week for timers in the future. - Some improvements to cPoller (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). |

Version 1.3.14
- Fixed detecting transponder lock in cDvbTuner (based on a patch from Stefan Meyknecht). - What was previously marked with WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING is now permanently active and uses a cCondVar to signal when a transponder is locked. - Added some missing 'const' to cChannel. - Added a sample setup for 'DisiCon-4 Single Cable Network' to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed attaching a cPlayer to a cDevice, so that 'Operation not permitted' errors don't occur any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a case where the resultBuffer in cRemux ran full before getting a sync. - Removed the usleep() call from cDvbPlayer::Action() to make VDR run on NPTL systems (thanks to Alfred Zastrow). The NPTL check at startup has also been removed. - Taking the complete size of available data into account when deciding whether to clear the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated Romanian language texts and the iso8859-2 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now actually using the iso8859-15 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Some minor code cleanups (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam). - Fixed missing cleanup at program exit in case there is a problem with a plugin (thanks to Mattias Grönlund for pointing this out). - Increased the required free buffer space in the resultBuffer of cRemux to 2 * IPACKS to avoid a buffer overflow in case a cTS2PES writes one complete packet and then (within processing the same TS packet) wants to write another small packet. - Removed the signal handler and WakeUp() call from cThread (it is no longer needed). - Added some checks when canceling a thread and removed the usleep() in cThread::Start() (suggested by Ludwig Nussel). Also removed 'running' from cThread and using only childTid to indicate whether a thread is actually running. - Added cCondWait::Sleep() and using it to replace all usleep() calls (based on a suggestion by Werner Fink). - Only assigning events to timers if the related schedule has actually been modified. - When searching for the present event, the running status is now only taken into account if the event has been "seen" within the past 30 seconds. This avoids shortly seeing the wrong events in the channel display when switching to a channel that hasn't been tuned to in a while. |

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). |

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). |

Version 1.2.5pre3
- Fixed dropping out of replay mode while viewing a recording that is still
going on (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting and helping to debug this
one).
- Fixed handling ':' characters in channel names when reading channels.conf
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed the URL to the 'Doxygen' tool in INSTALL (thanks to Dirk Essl).
- Removed the obsolete chapter "Stopping a recording on the primary DVB interface"
from MANUAL.
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).
- Made 'diseqc.conf' a required file only if Setup.DiSEqC is activated (thanks to
Thomas Schmidt).
- VDR now starts up even if 'keymacros.conf' references a plugin that is currently
not loaded (suggested by Alexander Wetzel).
- Fixed checking for VIDEO_STREAM_S in cRemux::SetBrokenLink() (thanks to Oliver
Endriss).
- Added 'repeat' function to keys '7' and '9' ("jump to mark") in replay mode
(suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Made cOsdMenu::Display() virtual, which allows plugins to do some additional
processing after calling the base class function (suggested by Jan Rieger).
- Updated 'ca.conf' (thanks to Marco Franceschetti).

Version 1.2.3 (not officially released)
- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material. In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem(). - Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this). - Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl). - Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on the same channel. - Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to Richard Robson for reporting this one). - Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous" (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one). |

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). |

Version 1.1.22
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to
Paul Gohn).
- Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus.
- Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from
a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader
class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load.
- Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams
with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode'
and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu
Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls.
- Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no'
were mixed up).
- Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Changed EIT processing to always read a full section.
- Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens
Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele).
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.
