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
Klaus Schmidinger	8b9350c091	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).	2011-04-17 17:09:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5ce592e54a	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: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2009/10/18 14:00:07 2.1 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2010/02/06 14:50:03 2.2 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ ### The C++ compiler and options: CXX ?= g++ -CXXFLAGS ?= -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses +CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses ### The directory environment: @@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ LIBDIR = ../../lib TMPDIR = /tmp +### Make sure that necessary options are included: + +include $(VDRDIR)/Make.global + ### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults: -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config ------------------------------------------------------------ - Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite positions can be limited to a given list of devices. This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch. - Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the channel list (reported by Halim Sahin). - The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual recording name was not visible at all. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Improved scalability of the default skins. - Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following changes were made: + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5). + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is done for the default DVB devices). + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a channel. This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch. - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermühle). - The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded. This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch.	2010-02-28 16:07:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	09a17d56e2	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.	2010-01-31 15:42:00 +01:00
