Klaus Schmidinger	716c03a47e	Version 2.1.3 ... VDR developer version 2.1.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.diff MD5 checksums: 054f80e0045aa6fad118e9285b52f4f2 vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 3c5ab05d5c4d0b984b34e84190e80949 vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. Originally I intended to release this version only after the new DiSEqC configuration dialog was finished. But in the meantime quite a few other things have come up, so I decided to postpone that dialog and first release what has piled up so far. From the HISTORY file: - Changed the return value of cPositioner::HorizonLongitude() to 0 in case the latitude of the antenna location is beyond +/-81 degrees. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.6.3 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the name of the SVDRP command RENR to MOVR (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - When cutting a recording it is now checked whether there is already an edited version of this recording (with the same name, but starting with '%'), and the user is prompted for confirmation to overwrite it (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Revoked "Added maximum signal strength value for TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.3P" because it broke things for the "TechniSat AirStar 2" DVB-T card. - The LIRC remote control now connects to the socket even if it doesn't yet exist when VDR is started (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the absolute latitude limit for visible satellites to 81.2 degrees. - Added code for parsing LCN and AVC descriptors to libsi (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - In the "Select folder" menu pressing Ok now selects the folder, even if this is a folder that contains sub folders (marked with "..."). To open such a folder you can press the Red key. - Fixed a possible access to uninitialized data in cEIT::cEIT() (reported by Dominik Strasser). - The new menu category mcRecordingEdit is now used to mark menus that edit recording properties (suggested by Stefan Braun). - Changes in the teletext PID no longer cause retuning (and thus interrupting a recording). - Removed '_' from the FileNameChars and CharMap translations in uk_UA.po. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a missing initialization in the c'tor of cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - Simplified some conditional expressions in skinlcars.c and skinsttng.c (suggested by Marko Mäkelä). - Fixed uninitialized item area coordinates in cSkinLCARSDisplayMenu (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Fixed a possible crash if the recordings list is updated externally while the Recordings menu is open (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Added a missing closing ')' in the help and man page entry of the --vfat option (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Fixed setting the name of the video directory to avoid a crash when using --genindex, and also to use the correct directory with --edit (the latter reported by Marko Mäkelä). - The Recordings menu can now be called with a cRecordingFilter, which allows the caller to have it display only a certain subset of the recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Added handling UTF-8 'umlaut' characters to cKbdRemote (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Made it clear that the Data parameter in cDevice::StillPicture() may point to a series of packets, not just a single one (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - cDevice::TrickSpeed() now has an additional parameter named Forward, which indicates the direction in which replay is being done (suggested by Thomas Reufer). This information may be necessary for some output devices in order to properly implement trick modes. Authors of plugins that implement output devices will need to add this parameter to their derived cDevice class, regardless of whether they will make use of it or not. - Added a note to ePlayMode in device.h that VDR itself always uses pmAudioVideo when replaying a recording (suggested by Thomas Reufer). - Fixed some spellings in positioner.h and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Changed '%a' to the POSIX compliant '%m' in all scanf() calls (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cCamSlot::Decrypt() can be used by derived classes to implement a CAM slot that can be freely assigned to any device, without being directly inserted into the full TS data stream in hardware. A derived class that implements Decrypt() will also need to set the new parameter ReceiveCaPids in the call to the cCamSlot base class constructor to true, in order to receive the CA pid TS packets that contain data necessary for decrypting. - Many member functions of cCamSlot have been made virtual to allow for easier implementation of derived classes. - cTSBuffer now provides the number of available bytes in its Get() function. - cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() now calls CamSlot()->Decrypt() in order to allow CAM slots that can be freely assigned to any device access to the TS data stream. - Added a check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference in cCiSession::SendData() (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Deleted a superfluous assignment in cPipe::Open() (reported by Ville Skyttä). - The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called after the recording process has actually started (thanks to Christian Kaiser). - Avoiding unnecessary pkg-config warnings in plugin Makefiles (thanks to Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to apply the following change to their Makefile: -PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr || pkg-config --variable=$(1) ../../../vdr.pc)) +PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:../../.." pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr)) - Eliminated MAXDVBDEVICES (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Channels that are no longer contained in the current SDT of a transponder are now marked with the keyword OBSOLETE in their name and provider fields. That way you can identify obsolete channels when you switch to them, and you can get the complete overview of all obsolete channels by sorting the Channels list by provider (by pressing the 0 key twice). Automatic deletion of obsolete channels may follow later.	2014-01-06 18:37:32 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5076cfb2ed	Version 2.1.1 ... VDR developer version 2.1.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff MD5 checksums: b17f9838bb8ddee9620f838fea7a171d vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 8b8ca593885c380cd370e6d19a5b16a1 vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on adding basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position and storing individual positions will follow later. The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3 later, if there are no problems. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks. - Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than one character (reported by Stefan Braun). - Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html. - Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from Udo Richter). - Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen Dolze). - Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is used (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite. - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric characters" in version 1.7.36). - Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf. - Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script. - Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported by Stefan Braun). - Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel (reported by Dominique Dumont). - Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik). + Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS"). + The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner has reached the new satellite position. + The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its range. Think of it as "full circle". + The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each cDiseqc or cScr, respectively. + A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners"). + The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to. The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish. + The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and "Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary values for a steerable dish. + The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target position has been reached. - The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display. - Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter. - No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given Priority is less than 1. - Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost. - Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed (reported by Ville Skyttä). - cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything. - Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances in transfer mode. - All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss). - Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now deprecated and disabled by default. You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning of the line //#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ... in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround. This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions. Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes, and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume. A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two 1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk fails, you can replace it without data loss.	2013-08-25 18:40:45 +02:00
