Version 2.1.3
VDR developer version 2.1.3 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.diff MD5 checksums: 054f80e0045aa6fad118e9285b52f4f2 vdr-2.1.3.tar.bz2 3c5ab05d5c4d0b984b34e84190e80949 vdr-2.1.2-2.1.3.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. Originally I intended to release this version only after the new DiSEqC configuration dialog was finished. But in the meantime quite a few other things have come up, so I decided to postpone that dialog and first release what has piled up so far. From the HISTORY file: - Changed the return value of cPositioner::HorizonLongitude() to 0 in case the latitude of the antenna location is beyond +/-81 degrees. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.6.3 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the name of the SVDRP command RENR to MOVR (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - When cutting a recording it is now checked whether there is already an edited version of this recording (with the same name, but starting with '%'), and the user is prompted for confirmation to overwrite it (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Revoked "Added maximum signal strength value for TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.3P" because it broke things for the "TechniSat AirStar 2" DVB-T card. - The LIRC remote control now connects to the socket even if it doesn't yet exist when VDR is started (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the absolute latitude limit for visible satellites to 81.2 degrees. - Added code for parsing LCN and AVC descriptors to libsi (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - In the "Select folder" menu pressing Ok now selects the folder, even if this is a folder that contains sub folders (marked with "..."). To open such a folder you can press the Red key. - Fixed a possible access to uninitialized data in cEIT::cEIT() (reported by Dominik Strasser). - The new menu category mcRecordingEdit is now used to mark menus that edit recording properties (suggested by Stefan Braun). - Changes in the teletext PID no longer cause retuning (and thus interrupting a recording). - Removed '_' from the FileNameChars and CharMap translations in uk_UA.po. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a missing initialization in the c'tor of cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - Simplified some conditional expressions in skinlcars.c and skinsttng.c (suggested by Marko Mäkelä). - Fixed uninitialized item area coordinates in cSkinLCARSDisplayMenu (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Fixed a possible crash if the recordings list is updated externally while the Recordings menu is open (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Added a missing closing ')' in the help and man page entry of the --vfat option (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Fixed setting the name of the video directory to avoid a crash when using --genindex, and also to use the correct directory with --edit (the latter reported by Marko Mäkelä). - The Recordings menu can now be called with a cRecordingFilter, which allows the caller to have it display only a certain subset of the recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Added handling UTF-8 'umlaut' characters to cKbdRemote (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Made it clear that the Data parameter in cDevice::StillPicture() may point to a series of packets, not just a single one (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - cDevice::TrickSpeed() now has an additional parameter named Forward, which indicates the direction in which replay is being done (suggested by Thomas Reufer). This information may be necessary for some output devices in order to properly implement trick modes. Authors of plugins that implement output devices will need to add this parameter to their derived cDevice class, regardless of whether they will make use of it or not. - Added a note to ePlayMode in device.h that VDR itself always uses pmAudioVideo when replaying a recording (suggested by Thomas Reufer). - Fixed some spellings in positioner.h and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Changed '%a' to the POSIX compliant '%m' in all scanf() calls (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cCamSlot::Decrypt() can be used by derived classes to implement a CAM slot that can be freely assigned to any device, without being directly inserted into the full TS data stream in hardware. A derived class that implements Decrypt() will also need to set the new parameter ReceiveCaPids in the call to the cCamSlot base class constructor to true, in order to receive the CA pid TS packets that contain data necessary for decrypting. - Many member functions of cCamSlot have been made virtual to allow for easier implementation of derived classes. - cTSBuffer now provides the number of available bytes in its Get() function. - cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() now calls CamSlot()->Decrypt() in order to allow CAM slots that can be freely assigned to any device access to the TS data stream. - Added a check to avoid a possible NULL pointer dereference in cCiSession::SendData() (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Deleted a superfluous assignment in cPipe::Open() (reported by Ville Skyttä). - The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called after the recording process has actually started (thanks to Christian Kaiser). - Avoiding unnecessary pkg-config warnings in plugin Makefiles (thanks to Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to apply the following change to their Makefile: -PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr || pkg-config --variable=$(1) ../../../vdr.pc)) +PKGCFG = $(if $(VDRDIR),$(shell pkg-config --variable=$(1) $(VDRDIR)/vdr.pc),$(shell PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:../../.." pkg-config --variable=$(1) vdr)) - Eliminated MAXDVBDEVICES (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Channels that are no longer contained in the current SDT of a transponder are now marked with the keyword OBSOLETE in their name and provider fields. That way you can identify obsolete channels when you switch to them, and you can get the complete overview of all obsolete channels by sorting the Channels list by provider (by pressing the 0 key twice). Automatic deletion of obsolete channels may follow later. |

Version 2.1.1
VDR developer version 2.1.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff MD5 checksums: b17f9838bb8ddee9620f838fea7a171d vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 8b8ca593885c380cd370e6d19a5b16a1 vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on adding basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position and storing individual positions will follow later. The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3 later, if there are no problems. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks. - Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than one character (reported by Stefan Braun). - Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html. - Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from Udo Richter). - Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen Dolze). - Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is used (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite. - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric characters" in version 1.7.36). - Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf. - Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script. - Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported by Stefan Braun). - Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel (reported by Dominique Dumont). - Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik). + Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS"). + The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner has reached the new satellite position. + The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its range. Think of it as "full circle". + The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each cDiseqc or cScr, respectively. + A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners"). + The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to. The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish. + The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and "Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary values for a steerable dish. + The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target position has been reached. - The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display. - Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter. - No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given Priority is less than 1. - Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost. - Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed (reported by Ville Skyttä). - cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything. - Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances in transfer mode. - All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss). - Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now deprecated and disabled by default. You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning of the line //#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ... in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround. This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions. Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes, and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume. A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two 1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk fails, you can replace it without data loss. |

Version 1.7.36
VDR developer version 1.7.36 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff MD5 checksums: e514f72a2a8c44f39e47b540d6ad325f vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 9312a0d10bcda87d3c3c7e6dfbebcd05 vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.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: - Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer). By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"), and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as before. - Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair). - Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by Stefan Stolz). - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas Mair). - Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener). - The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR. - The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already exists (suggested by Malte Forkel). - Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch). - Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal. |

Version 1.7.35
VDR developer version 1.7.35 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.34-1.7.35.diff MD5 checksums: 3b9d0376325370afb464b6c5843591c7 vdr-1.7.35.tar.bz2 4b6fb681359325ad33a466503503e772 vdr-1.7.34-1.7.35.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: - 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. |

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. |

Version 1.7.11
- Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file. - The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source. - Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to Matthieu Castet). - Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive(). - Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly). - Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses" to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf. If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'. - cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created. - Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt(). - cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids. - cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids (thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use). - cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel). - cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types. - The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing capability. - Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version 1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs). - Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to Anssi Hannula). IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of its base class. - Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments" in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores the genre using the tag character 'G'. - Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores the parental rating using the tag character 'R'. IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences! - Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste. - After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds, so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all the others on the same adapter. - Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to Anssi Hannula). |

Version 1.7.1
- Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile. - Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used by broadcasters from the beginning. - Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1". This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that they can correctly encode the strings. - No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig). - Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork). - First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format: + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets. + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively. + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets. + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes the TS data in Transfer Mode. + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a TS in order to find out which streams it contains. + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet. + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more. It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary device's PlayTs(). + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread. + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES packets. + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign. - Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting. - Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h (reported by Tobias Grimm). |

Version 1.7.0
- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to the previous version of VDR! - Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov). |

Version 1.5.8
- 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. |

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). |

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). |

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. |

Version 1.1.18
- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for reporting this one). - Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault). - Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":" or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin). - Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch). - Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they are no longer active). - Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL (suggested by Gerald Berwolf). - Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details). - The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system, using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details). |
