Klaus Schmidinger	15485a5e06	Version 1.7.34 ... VDR developer version 1.7.34 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.34.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-1.7.34.diff and a helper patch for plugin Makefiles can be found at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff MD5 checksums: 55d9aba62563efe39ee040e987f7023c vdr-1.7.34.tar.bz2 019ba806b263f7054dbd0da8956ea73b vdr-1.7.33-1.7.34.diff 6c2b8efe5eead6822f006bc867ccb324 vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.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. IMPORTANT: ========== This version comes with revised versions of the Makefiles for VDR itself and all of its standard plugins. As a result of this, existing plugins will no longer build with this version of VDR, unless their Makefiles are properly adapted. To do so, please follow the instructions given below. There is also a generic patch (see below) that might help you update your plugin's Makefile. If you do want to build this version of VDR with plugins that don't have their Makefiles adapted yet, you can simply copy the Makefile, Make.global and Make.config (if applicable) files from a previous version of VDR into this source and use them. Note, though, that you cannot mix old and new Makefiles. All Makefiles for VDR and all plugins must be either old or new! PLEASE GIVE THE PLUGIN DEVELOPERS SOME TIME TO ADAPT THEIR MAKEFILES ACCORDINGLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S CHRISTMAS, SO THEY PROBABLY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN SIT AT THEIR COMPUTERS ;-). From the HISTORY file: - Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from 'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested. - Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the "newplugin" script. - Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to xgettext in several plugin Makefiles. - Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13). - Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested by Christopher Reimer). The file Make.global is no longer used, and plugin Makefiles don't include the file Make.config any more. Instead they now retrieve all necessary information through calls to pkg-config. - The plugin Makefiles now have a separate 'install' target (suggested by Christopher Reimer). In order to still allow the normal building of VDR (with all plugins in its ./PLUGINS/src subdirectory, the plugin libraries in ./PLUGINS/lib and the i18n files in ./locale) the VDR Makefile checks the settings of LIBDIR and LOCDIR when building the plugins from within the VDR source directory. If these macros have their default values, then the 'install' targets of the plugins' Makefiles are called. Otherwise the 'all' targets are called and the plugins are merely built, and will have to be installed by a call to 'make install-plugins'. This now also allows a user to copy a plugin source to any directory, change into that directory and do 'make' and 'make install' to have the plugin installed to wherever the local installation of VDR expects them. - Plugin Makefiles now use DESTDIR and the 'install' program (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Due to the changes to the plugin Makefiles, existing plugins will not build with this version of VDR any more. You can either use the new 'newplugin' script to generate a dummy plugin directory and use the Makefile from there (adapting it to your particular plugin), or apply the patch from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff to your Makefile to make the necessary changes (see comments in that file for details). - Added the new menu categories mcChannelEdit, mcTimerEdit, mcScheduleNow, mcScheduleNext, mcRecordingInfo, mcPluginSetup, mcSetupOsd, mcSetupEpg, mcSetupDvb, mcSetupLnb, mcSetupCam, mcSetupRecord, mcSetupReplay, mcSetupMisc and mcSetupPlugins. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed replay stuttering close to the end of an ongoing recording (reported by Andreas Regel). - Fixed cIndexFile::GetNextIFrame() to properly handle the case where the very last frame is an I-frame (which normally shouldn't occur). - Fixed replaying ongoing recordings from other VDR instances.	2012-12-26 17:42:33 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5500959f4f	Version 1.7.28 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.28 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.28.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.27-1.7.28.diff MD5 checksums: 3ccff2dcc42d112e23dd64f2c39f02f1 vdr-1.7.28.tar.bz2 7249ead4aca4b24e53d49d11c67e1613 vdr-1.7.27-1.7.28.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 new default skin "LCARS" displays the signal strengths and qualities of all devices in its main menu. For devices that have an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) retrieving this information from the driver is rather slow, which results in a sluggish response to user input in the main menu. To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from From the HISTORY file: - Fixed cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse() for quadrants -1 and -4. - Fixed getting the maximum short channel name length in case there are no short names at all (reported by Derek Kelly). - The new function cDevice::DeviceType() returns a string identifying the type of the given device. - Now limiting the number of characters of a channel's (short) name to 16 in the schedules menus, to keep that column from getting overly wide in case there is a channel with a very long name that has no short name. - Fixed EPG scan on systems with only a single DVB device that use software output (reported by Juergen Lock). - Skins can now inquire the menu category for which their cSkinDisplayMenu is currently being used. This can be done either through a call to cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuCategory() or by reimplementing cSkinDisplayMenu::SetMenuCategory(). This information allows a skin to use special icons or decorations for the various types of menus in VDR. - The new setup option "DVB/Standard compliance" can be used to switch between different variations of the DVB standard (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Currently there is "DVB" (for the original DVB standard) and "ANSI/SCTE", which is used to properly handle certain private stream types. - The disk usage is no longer automatically added to the title of the main and "Recordings" menus. This has always been a mekeshift solution and it is now up to the individual skin if, where and how it wants to display this information. A skin can use the new cVideoDiskUsage class to implement such a display. For compatibility, the default skins "Classic VDR", "ST:TNG Panels" and "Text mode" (i.e. curses) have been changed to behave like before. Other skins may want to display the disk usage in totally different ways. - A cOsdMenu can now handle skins that display different numbers of items in the various menu categories. - OSD and skin are now reinitialized after a plugin setup page has been confirmed, to have them react immediately in case any change to a plugin's setup parameter has an effect on the OSD. - The Timers list is now marked as modified whenever a recording starts or ends. - Fixed cDevice::StillPicture(), making sure it doesn't call the derived class's function if no buffer has been allocated (reported by Marcus Roscher). - Fixed the SVDRP command UPDR, which didn't update the global recordings list (reported by Lars Hanisch). - cControl::Control() now has an additional boolean parameter, which can be set to true to get the current player control even if it is hidden. - The new functions cControl::GetRecording() and cControl::GetHeader() can be used to retrieve information about what the current player is playing. - Fixed a possible high CPU load when pausing replay (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed character comparisons in cSubtitleObject::DecodeCharacterString() (reported by Reinhard Mantey). - Renamed the function cString::sprintf(const char *fmt, va_list &ap) to vsprintf(), because it might inadvertently be called with a 'char *' as the second argument on some compilers and cause a crash (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Removed the "bondedMasterFailed" mechanism from cDvbTuner, because it caused problems with the EPG scan in case a transponder is not receivable in a setup with bonded devices (reported by Michael Schneider). - Making sure setup strings don't contain any newline characters (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - The new member function cSkinDisplayReplay::SetRecording() allows a skin to display more information about the currently played recording. - Fixed a mismatched 'delete' in cSchedules::SetEpgDataFileName() (thanks to Reinhard Mantey). - The DrawText() functions of the OSD now accept the new alignment flag taBorder, which triggers keeping a proper distance from the edge that taLeft or taRight aligns to. - Fixed checking for UTF-8 support in cFont::Bidi() (reported by Torsten Lang). - If a recording has no info file, the 'title' of the recording's info is now set to the recording's name. - cVector::Clear() now reinitializes any previously used members. - Fixed resetting CAMs (thanks to Marco Skambraks). - The new function RgbShade() (include osd.h) can be used to generate a brighter or darker version of a given color. - The new class cSortedTimers can be used to quickly get a list of all timers, sorted by their start time. - The new skin "LCARS" is an enhanced version of the "ST:TNG" skin (which is still there in its original layout, for those who don't like the LCARS skin, or can't use it due to OSD limitations). The LCARS skin utilizes the new "menu category" feature to display additional information on the main menu page. It shows upcoming timers and the system's devices, as well as which device is recording which timers. The upper pane of the main menu displays the programme data in live and replay mode, and a progress bar. An indicator on the right side of the device list shows which device is currently used for live viewing, and whether it is in transfer mode. The individual device displays show the device number, the device type, which CAM (if any ) is currently assigned to the device, and the signal strength and quality. On the left side of the OSD there is a permanent display of the current date and time, the disk usage and the system load. "LCARS" is the new default skin of VDR. It requires at least a 4bpp (16 color) full screen OSD, but you can still operate it if your OSD can handle only fewer colors (in which case you may want to switch to the "ST:TNG" or "Classic VDR" skin). - Finally removed the code marked with __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS and LEGACY_CRECEIVER. - Now making sure that the "small font" is never larger than the "osd font". - Fixed font handling with fontconfig 2.9.0 or newer (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel). - Extended the interface to the script that gets called for recordings, so that in the "edited" case it also provides the name of the original recording (thanks to Christian Richter). - Added DeleteEvent() to the EPG handler interface, so that an EPG handler can trigger deleting of an event (thanks to Christian Kaiser). - Speeded up opening menus on systems with many (several thousands) of recordings, by caching the information whether a recording is stored on the video directory file system within the cRecording data (based on a patch from Torsten Lang).	2012-06-05 00:33:28 +02:00

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: - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the Green button in the "Edit timer" menu from "Once" to "Single" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some typos in HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The channel name column in the "What's on now/next" menu now adjusts its width to display the full short name of each channel (suggested by Dominic Evans). - Dropped the meanwhile obsolete script 'i18n-to-gettext'. - Removed the obsolete function cPlugin::RegisterI18n(). - Removed the obsolete typedef tI18nPhrase. - Adapted menu column widths of 'skincurses' to the wider HD OSD sizes. - Deactivated definition of __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS (recording.h) and LEGACY_CRECEIVER (receiver.h) to trigger an error for any plugin that still uses the respective code. You can reactivate these to quickly make your plugin compile again, but beware that these code parts will be removed in one of the next versions. - Made the "overloaded-virtual" warning an error to detect hidden overloaded virtual functions (thanks to Anssi Hannula for pointing out -Werror=...). Plugin authors may want to change -Woverloaded-virtual to -Werror=overloaded-virtual in their Makefiles. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Improved fast forwarding to the end of a timeshift recording. - The new function cDevice::DeviceName() returns a string identifying the name of the given device. - When toggling a timer between "Single" and "Repeating", the previous setting is now retained in case the user toggles back to the original value. - When estimating the remaining disk space (in hours), the average data rate of all existing recordings is now taken into account. If this value can't be determined, the previous value of 25.75 MB/min is taken. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in the 'osddemo' plugin. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Fixed a memory leak in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Moved setting LC_NUMERIC further up to make sure any floating point numbers use a decimal point (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added missing channel locking to cEIT. - Fixed reduced bpp support for DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Reverted some improvements to Make.config.template (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed handling IDLEPRIORITY in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Frank Schmirler).	2012-03-25 15:43:37 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5117f35938	Version 1.7.26 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.26 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.26.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.25-1.7.26.diff MD5 checksums: eb57398e44935ecb0bfc532bdfead312 vdr-1.7.26.tar.bz2 62e0f39e2c53ec2b5abd3ebb0e00ce3d vdr-1.7.25-1.7.26.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Now checking for NULL in cOsd::AddPixmap() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the German translation of "VDR will shut down in %s minutes" (thanks to Frank Neumann). - The replay progress display is now turned on whenever a mark is toggled (not only when one is set). - Toggling a mark now restarts the timeout of the replay progress display. - Fixed a possible race condition with the SVDRP commands CLRE and PUTE, where EPG data from the transponder could be handled even though it shouldn't be handled for 10 seconds. - Added some missing member initializations in cBitmap. - Improved displaying the play mode in the ST:TNG skin. - Made the ST:TNG skin the default in case the user selected skin is not available. - Improved displaying signal strength and quality in the ST:TNG skin's channel display. - Fixed switching devices to the transponders of VPS recordings in case there are only bonded devices. The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced by using "occupied". - Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded with an other one. - Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel. - Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView. Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter 'bool LiveView' to that function. - Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like "changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference between the old and new set of pids. - Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio. - The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious). - Revoked "If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored". - Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers. + A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions. + The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped. For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0' can be used to have them handled like in previous versions. + The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF, which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data. See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.	2012-03-11 18:00:38 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	3df1b6d139	Version 1.7.25 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.25 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.25.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.24-1.7.25.diff MD5 checksums: a3fd482a3dd8027706d4f32a88c6bd13 vdr-1.7.25.tar.bz2 f34adcdc0cdab378431d8946872d6b59 vdr-1.7.24-1.7.25.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - The fps value for channels where it differs from the default is now set correctly when pausing live video. - Increased the average character estimate for calculating tab positions in skins, to better suit wide fonts (reported by Rudi Hofer). - Fixed getting the subsystem ids of DVB devices in case they have been rearranged via udev rules. - Added several cTimer::Set...() functions (suggested by Alexander Rieger). - Changed the return value of cTimer::SetFile() to 'void'. - Revoked "Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode" because it caused trouble with output on vdr-xine and dxr3, and also short glitches when replaying on any output device. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling subtitle color palettes on channels where subtitles appear "word by word" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed upscaling cBitmaps with anti-aliasing (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting a problem with color palettes in subtitles). - Fixed getting the video aspect ratio for scaling subtitles. - Removed the "PrimaryLimit". Old "full featured" DVB cards can be run with the --outputonly option to avoid problems with recording high bandwidth channels. Besides, with HDTV becoming ever more popular those cards are pretty much obsolete by now (the TT S2-6400 has no problems recording and replaying high bandwidth channels simultaneously). And, last but not least, people using software players won't notice this change, anyway. - Since cReceivers can have priorities between -99 and 99, the priority for an unused device has been changed from -1 to -100. - If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored. This way an external EPG source can fill the schedules with EPG data that will not be messed up with that from the DVB data stream. Note, though, that this means VDR can not do VPS controlled recordings with such events! - Added some typecasts to silence gcc compiler warnings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling overlapping timers in case a VPS timer with higher priority needs to interrupt a timer with lower priority. - The code for the RCU remote control unit has been moved into a separate plugin named "rcu". The REMOTE=RCU option in the 'make' call for VDR is now obsolete. The command line option --rcu is now obsolete. Use -Prcu instead. If you have used --rcu with a device path, use -P"rcu -d<device>". - Added support for automatically selecting subtitles when playing old PES recordings made with the subtitles plugin (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Revised priority handling to allow receivers with a priority that is lower than that of live viewing (with suggestions from Frank Schmirler): + An idle device (one that is not used for live viewing and has no receiver attached to it) now has priority IDLEPRIORITY (-100). + An unused CAM slot now has priority IDLEPRIORITY. + The default priority of a cReceiver is now MINPRIORITY (-99). + A device that is used only for live viewing (no matter whether it's in Transfer Mode or real live mode) now has priority TRANSFERPRIORITY (-1). + The function cDevice::Receiving() now returns true if there is any receiver attached to the device. Its boolean parameter has no meaning any more. + The default value for the Priority parameter of the function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() has been changed to IDLEPRIORITY. - Added a Query parameter to cDevice::GetDevice(), so that devices can be queried without side effects when zapping. - Replaced min(max()) calls with the new function constrain(). - Fixed handling OSD color button texts in case a menu item has texts of its own (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). If a plugin creates derived cMenuEditItems that set color button texts, these should not set the texts directly by calling cSkinDisplay::Current()->SetButtons(), but rather call the new member function cMenuEditItem::SetHelp(). - Moved the call to cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch(this, 0) to the beginning of cDevice::SetChannel(), so that any receivers that have been attached to the device by plugins may be detached before the final call to GetDevice(). This actually reverts "Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel is actually going to be switched or has actually been switched successfully" which was made in version 1.1.10, so please report if this has any unwanted side effects.	2012-03-10 23:52:09 +01:00

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).	2011-08-16 20:32:01 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	bd61fee1e9	Version 1.7.19 ... Original announce message: VDR developer version 1.7.19 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.19.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.18-1.7.19.diff MD5 checksums: 1eb04ecdc2b11ab8641ebfaa2cb93f42 vdr-1.7.19.tar.bz2 db16ce7bb51e0db837ed56ef4744a67e vdr-1.7.18-1.7.19.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. 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).	2011-06-19 18:35:46 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5619c0602b	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.	2011-03-19 19:02:09 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c2c45d68c6	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).	2010-06-06 14:49:00 +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	939081e274	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).	2010-01-06 13:34:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	991eda0067	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).	2009-05-03 17:15:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1aadb31fb3	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).	2009-04-12 11:39:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1834751c45	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).	2008-12-14 16:54:12 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	771986b89f	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).	2008-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9279cb21cd	Version 1.5.15 ... - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types. - Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear in version 1.7.0. Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters. - Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse). - Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on a suggestion by Martin Wache). - Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin. - Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay, to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola). - The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()). - Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins, to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Walter Koch). - Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because it applies to non-VPS recordings as well. - Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT. - Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load(). - Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe) avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay. - Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with --vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter. - When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed) recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory) are no longer taken into account. - When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s). This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems, which would not add any free space to the video directory. - Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers (based on a patch from Benedikt Elser). - Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin. - Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin. - Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*() should be used. - Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins.	2008-02-17 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	e388708339	Version 1.5.14 ... - Fixed the Play function in the pictures plugin. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Makefile of the skincurses plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new option --localedir can be used to set the locale directory at runtime (based on a patch from Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed finding new transponders (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Implemented handling of DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler and Reinhard Nissl for a patch that was used to implement this). VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. - Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes a while for the CAM to start decrypting.	2008-01-27 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	182cd78af0	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).	2007-11-04 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	dbf38b7c68	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).	2007-10-14 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	e5a2aa41c9	Version 1.5.8 ... - Added missing install-i18n to the install target in the Makefile (reported by Joachim Wilke). - Fixed a faulty comment in Make.config.template (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Improved i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Moved the "all" target in plugin Makefiles before the "Implicit rules", so that a plain "make" will compile everything (suggested by Matthias Schwarzott). The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to change their Makefiles, too. - Added DESTDIR and PREFIX handling to the Makefile (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added internationalization to the "skincurses" plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Checking the string for NULL in I18nTranslate(). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bruno Roussel). - Some optimizations in cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cMenuEditChrItem::Set() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cNitFilter::Process() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Reduced the number of time(NULL) calls in vdr.c's main loop to a single call (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Changed cBitmap::DrawText() to always draw the background unless ColorBg is clrTransparent (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The "Setup/OSD/Language" menu now only shows those languages that actually have a locale (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Now using setenv() instead of setlocale() to set the language for gettext() (suggested by Anssi Hannula; thanks also to Ludwig Nussel for a hint on using _nl_msg_cat_cntr). - When scanning the locale directory, VDR now explicitly looks for a file named vdr.mo. Text files for plugins are now named "vdr-name.mo", when "name" is the name of the plugin. The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly, and plugin authors should change their Makefiles, too.	2007-08-19 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	4c65b525dc	Version 1.5.7 ... - All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in the past. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder). - Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to the gettext format will only present English texts. See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how to make strings in arrays translatable. See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing translations. - The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name to the code. - The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section for i18n support. - The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the locale as defined in the system environment is used by default. - The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated, so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. - Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas Mair). - Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).	2007-08-12 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b9b9ace9a8	Version 1.5.3 ... - Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo Richter). - Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof Parma and Helmut Auer). - Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt CAM's version 3.11 firmware. - Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel). The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu. Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in /usr/share/fonts/truetype. - If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased". The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off. - The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing. Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of 10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed. - The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source. - VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding. - Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8 encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding (see tools.h for details). - Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8 characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled correctly between systems with different character encodings. - Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts. - Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area. - Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect when the "Ok" key is pressed.	2007-06-10 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	6d4eb0df37	Version 1.4.4-3 ... - Fixed a possible segfault if VDR gets terminated while a message is displayed (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed the INSTALL section on retrying shutdown later (reported by Udo Richter). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the characters are now checked against the allowed characters (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Added a missing break statement in cCiHandler::OpenSession().	2007-01-05 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	33f1491b18	Version 1.4.1-3 ... - Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume() bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks to Udo Richter). - The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2). - Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording, or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min. event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is "Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future. - Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter). - Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.	2006-08-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	80c0452968	Version 1.4.1-2 ... - Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher). Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN macro, even if it doesn't use it itself! - Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script. - Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one, in case they are added after the current event. - cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is true. - Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description. - Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick Maier). - Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume() (reported by Norbert Wentz). - Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.	2006-07-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	21f3eaf6c9	Version 1.4.0-3 ... - Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled. - Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c, because it caused a compiler warning with post-2.4 glibc (reported by Ville Skyttä). Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was presumably a NOP, anyway. - Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer). - Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well. - Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?" menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30 seconds won't be shown as "running". - Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'. - Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the 'skincurses' plugin). - When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses' skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously selected skin will be used again. - Added some log messages when setting the current skin. - Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first attempt has failed. - Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts (if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA descriptors before the actual recording starts.	2006-06-04 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	56e5836b54	Version 1.3.49 ... - Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl). - Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed' expression). - Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino). - Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key (reported by Werner Färber). - Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb). - Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans). - Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device.	2006-04-28 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	880c3ddb94	Version 1.3.48 ... - Updated the GPL copies (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active(). - Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single 'sed' call. - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch). - Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile (based on a suggestion by Udo Richter). - Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems (thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out that the 'z' modifier should be used here). - Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).	2006-04-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	293ed4027e	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: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

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: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/s/^.*"\(.*\)".*$$/\1/p' $(VDRDIR)/config.h) ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - 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.	2006-04-17 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	396d0ad367	Version 1.3.46 ... - Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how to detect these). - Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti). - Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E' (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff). - Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem. - VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time. This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks). - When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than one VPS timer is about to start. - Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the margin. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the timer's transponder. - Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer Mode for live tv isn't interrupted. - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected, respectively. - The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous" menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil). - When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or --version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter). - Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (reported by Joachim Wilke).	2006-04-09 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	49b561fcad	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.	2006-03-26 19:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b9bfba20f2	Version 1.3.43 ... - Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur Skawina). - The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a string item (suggested by Markus Hahn). - Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts. - Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of 'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete() so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0. - Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of two codes, separated by '+'. - If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel, the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the channel's PID data. - Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken. - Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original" network id.	2006-02-19 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c23992b807	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).	2006-02-05 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	446b0e8e0b	Version 1.3.40 ... - Fixed a second place where a message should be given when an instant recording is started (reported by Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Modified logging so that even on NPTL systems each line in the log file shows the individual thread's pid (based on a suggestion from Francois-Xavier Kowalski). - Fixed a problem with @plugin in keymacros.conf in case the named plugin is not loaded (reported by Franz Gangkofer). - Fixed a crash after executing the SVDRP command CLRE, caused by dangling 'schedule' pointers from cChannel objects (reported by Malte Schröder). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Improved NULL checking in strreplace(). - Fixed a crash in the Schedule menu with events that have no title (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now assigns a "No title" string to events that have no title. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Recordings are now only started if there is at least 300MB free disk space (suggested by Markus Hahn). - When entering text via the numeric keys, the cursor now automatically advances (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Polish OSD texts and the fontosd-iso8859-2.c file (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski). - Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you really need it - it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card). - Switching channels with the Up/Down or Channel+/Channel- keys now works a lot faster when the repeat function kicks in, by not actually switching the channel every time, but rather only displaying the channel info and doing the final switch when the key is released. - The channel display is now updated _before_ the channel is switched. - Added a missing initialization of 'timeout' in the cDisplayChannel constructor. - Fixed detecting if there can be any useful further input when entering channel numbers (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Jesus Bravo Alvarez). - Fixed handling the '0' key for switching between the last two channels (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).	2006-01-22 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	da948a50d2	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.	2006-01-08 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8c63e0fd96	Version 1.3.37 ... - Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions. - Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will use Transfer Mode just like before. - Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply data of AlphaCrypt CAMs). - Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress and isn't actively used, yet. - Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator (thanks to Holger Brunn). - The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details. - The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed (no more "pending message").	2005-11-27 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c16bbf7422	Version 1.3.33 ... - Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer). Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances. - Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting this one). - Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher for reporting this one). - Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc]. - The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings list, but rather deletes that particular entry. - The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up. If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read, the menu will be updated accordingly. Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread by putting something like cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&Recordings); into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing and debugging this. - The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan).	2005-09-25 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	782b517c51	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.	2005-03-20 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	630ba21dc1	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).	2004-11-21 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	23ed5a5ed3	Version 1.3.16 ... - Fixed cChannel::SetName() in case only the ShortName or Provider has changed (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Added Danish language texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Reactivated the NPTL check at startup because there appear to be still unsolved problems when running on NPTL systems. - Added missing calls to cStatus::MsgOsdClear() in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Joachim Wilke for reporting this one, and Andreas Regel for additional input). - Fixed the cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling of pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed a short glitch when starting a recording on the primary device while in replay or transfer mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added missing initialization of cEvent::seen. - Checking PID language codes for ISO 639 compliance to avoid problems with funny characters. Invalid language codes will be stored as "???". - The '0' key now toggles the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu between "single shot" and "repeating". The keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the individual days ('1' is Monday). Thanks to Sascha Klek for reporting a problem with the '0' key in the "Day" item of the "Timers" menu.	2004-11-14 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	eb52e3004a	Version 1.3.11 ... - In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do 'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR. - Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for reporting this one). Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file! - Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo). - Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin). - Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting this one). - No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle). - The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu. If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings. If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file '.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings. - Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually implemented for FF DVB cards. - Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard Cedric for reporting this one). - Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out this one). - Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one).	2004-06-19 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c80a53ff6e	Version 1.3.7 ... - Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess). - Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6. - Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6). - Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig). - Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them available for plugins. - The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts. - The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of the small font (see MANUAL for details). - Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd. Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements. - Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the driver, together with the endian problem). - The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left corner of the OSD. - The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters). When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically. - The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD display on arbitrary hardware. - The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how to use these. - Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this functionality later. - The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc], VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin". - The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Theme". - Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font, because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9 and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's going wrong here... - Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).	2004-05-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9384e56566	Version 1.3.6 ... - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some descriptor handling in 'libsi' (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Fixed handling the current menu item (thanks to Marc Hoppe). - Fixed assigning events to timers (they no longer get "stuck"). - Added log entries whenever the running status of an event changes (currently only logging the first 30 channels). - Fixed handling timers in VPS margin if the EPG scan is turned on (the EPG scan switched the device away from the channel, so it wouldn't see the change of the running status). - Fixed handling "itemized" texts in EPG data (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem, and Marcel Wiesweg for improving 'libsi'). - Fixed handling VPS times at year boundaries. - Avoiding too many consecutive "ring buffer overflow" messages (which only slowed down performance even more). - Taking the Sid into account when detecting version changes in processing the PMT (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Any newline characters in the 'description' of EPG events are now preserved to allow texts to be displayed the way the tv stations have formatted them. This was also necessary to better display itemized texts. - Fixed detecting the running status in case an empty EPG event is broadcast (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for pointing this out). - Improved performance when paging through very long menu lists. - Removed cSchedule::GetEventNumber() and cSchedule::NumEvents(). There is now cSchedule::Events() that returns the list of events directly. - Avoiding occasional bad responsiveness to user interaction caused by assigning events to timers. - Now explicitly turning on the LNB power at startup, because newer drivers don't do this any more (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out).	2004-03-14 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5a4eb3f104	Version 1.3.5 ... - Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'. - Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither a video nor an audio PID. - Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID, TID and RID are now set to 0). - Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5) for details about the enhanced channel ID format. - Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested. The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line //#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1 in VDR/dvbdevice.c. - Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data from www.bleb.org. - Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder (necessary for the 'sky' plugin). - Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode. - Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing the VPS function for recording. - Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data. - The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time. - Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running, will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the 'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have a start time that is in the future, but are already running. - Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'. - Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label") for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists and is different than the event's start time. - Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme. The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature (see MANUAL for details). Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be called "safe"! - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event, whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu" for details).	2004-02-29 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	7c5ef5dbba	Version 1.3.3 ... - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added ISO639LanguageDescriptor to 'libsi'. - Changed the 'languageCode' members in the descriptor classes of 'libsi' to 'char[4]' and setting the 4th byte to 0 for easier handling. - Fixed frequency handling when setting the CA descriptors in cDvbTuner::Action() (thanks to Jan Ekholm for reporting and helping to debug this one). - Now setting CA descriptors even if "Setup/DVB/Update channels" is less than 2. - There can now be up to 32 audio and Dolby PIDs (however, currently still only the first two are used throughout the rest of the program). - The audio and Dolby PIDs in 'channels.conf' now can have an optional language code (see man vdr(5)). Currently this is only stored and not yet used otherwise. - Added a call to cStatus::MsgOsdCurrentItem() to cMenuEditItem::SetValue() (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).	2004-01-25 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9f91980146	Version 1.1.27 ... - The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device. - The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3. - Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for helping to fix it). - Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell). - Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy Grobb for reporting this one). - Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details). - Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it). - If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device is now used as primary device (just to have some device). - Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup. - Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).	2003-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	a3942b4d17	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.	2003-01-26 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	48fd2b04e9	Version 1.1.20 ... - Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti) and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground. - Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one). - Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele). Plugin authors should please change the lines CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual in their Makefile to CXX ?= g++ CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual - Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing). - Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode. - Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments). See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.	2002-12-15 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	523c4a07aa	Version 1.1.9 ... - Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation. If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary. - Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented. - cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here. - Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle multiple recordings. - Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived cDevice classes. - Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices receiving multiple channels. - Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are recording and these channels are on different transponders). - Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2002-09-08 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ed643353b1	Version 1.1.7 ... - Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with 'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice). By default it currently still uses the old driver. - Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!", since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people. - Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this in his DXR3 plugin). - cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall check if any of its file handles is ready for data. - Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.	2002-08-16 18:00:00 +02:00
