Klaus Schmidinger	a26aae3ce8	Version 2.3.1 ... VDR developer version 2.3.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.3.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.2.0-2.3.1.diff MD5 checksums: 391c2ed60e2f7d24563fe3ed5854bc4f vdr-2.3.1.tar.bz2 983fd4bad7d19cd98301d54173107129 vdr-2.2.0-2.3.1.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. *** PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS DEVELOPER VERSION, ESPECIALLY *** IF YOU ENABLE THE NEW SVDRP PEERING! KEEP BACKUPS OF ALL YOUR TIMERS *** AND OBSERVE VERY CLOSELY WHETHER EVERYTHING WORKS AS EXPECTED. THIS *** VERSION INTRODUCES SOME MAJOR CHANGES IN HANDLING GLOBAL LISTS AND *** LOCKING, SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! The main focus of this developer version is on the new locking mechanism for global lists, and the ability to handle remote timers. Any plugins that access the global lists of timers, channels, schedules or recordings, will need to be adjusted (see below for details). Please do initial tests with plain vanilla VDR and just the output plugin you need. Known bugs/problems: - After deleting the last recording in a sub folder, the cursor may not be positioned correctly. - Instant recordings and pausing live video don't (yet) use the default SVDRP host for recording. From the HISTORY file: - The new function cOsd::MaxPixmapSize() can be called to determine the maximum size a cPixmap may have on the current OSD. The 'osddemo' example has been modified accordingly. Plugin authors may want to use this function in case they use pixmaps that are larger than the full OSD size. The default implementation sets this limit to 2048x2048 pixel. - The Setup/CAM menu now displays which device an individual CAM is currently assigned to (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Added detection of 24fps (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Added a note about the VDR User Counter and VDR's facebook page to the README file. - The dvbhddevice plugin is no longer part of the VDR source archive. You can get the latest version of this plugin from the author's repository at https://bitbucket.org/powARman/dvbhddevice. - The dvbsddevice and rcu plugins are no longer part of the VDR source archive. You can get the latest versions of these plugins from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Plugins. - Added a section about Output Devices to the INSTALL file. - Fixed setting the source value of newly created channels, in case the NIT is received from a different, but very close satellite position (reported by Daniel Ribeiro). The code for handling different NITs has been removed from nit.c, because according to the DVB standard table id 0x40 carries only the NIT of the actual network. - Added some comment to cPixmap about the relation between OSD, ViewPort and DrawPort (suggested by Thomas Reufer). - Improved syncing on sections when parsing the NIT and SDT. - Fixed scaling subtitles (their areas could sometimes extend outside the actual OSD). - Reduced the priority of the "video directory scanner" thread (suggested by Thomas Reufer) and checking cIoThrottle::Engaged() when it is running. - The script that gets called for recordings is now also called right before a recording is edited, with the first parameter being "editing" (suggested by Dieter Ferdinand). - The new setup option "OSD/Default sort mode for recordings" can be used to define how recordings shall be sorted by default (either by time or by name, with "by time" being the default). If a particular sort mode has been selected for a folder by pressing '0', the default no longer applies to that folder. Repeating timers no longer write a ".sort" file into a recordings folder to have the recordings sorted by time. - The command line option -D now accepts the value '-' (as in -D-), which prevents VDR from using any DVB devices (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - The -V and -h options now list the plugins in alphabetical order (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - Fixed a compiler warning in font.c. - Commented out the line #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM in device.h. If a plugin doesn't compile with this version of VDR, you can uncomment this line as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted. - The function cOsd::GetBitmap() is now 'protected'. If a plugin doesn't compile with this version of VDR, you can uncomment the line //#define DEPRECATED_GETBITMAP in osd.h as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted. - The -u option now also accepts a numerical user id (suggested by Derek Kelly). - The SVDRP port now accepts multiple concurrent connections. You can now keep an SVDRP connection open as long as you wish, without preventing others from connecting. Note, though, that SVDRP connections still get closed automatically if there has been no activity for 300 seconds (configurable via "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP timeout (s)"). - The SVDRP log messages have been unified and now always contain the IP and port number of the remote host. - SVDRP connections are now handled in a separate "SVDRP server handler" thread, which makes them more responsive. Note that there is only one thread that handles all concurrent SVDRP connections. That way each SVDRP command is guaranteed to be processed separately, without interfering with any other SVDRP commands that might be issued at the same time. Plugins that implement SVDRP commands may need to take care of proper locking if the commands access global data. - VDR now sends out a broadcast to port 6419/udp, which was assigned to 'svdrp-disc' by the IANA. VDRs listening on that port will automatically initiate an SVDRP connection to the broadcasting VDR, and in turn send out a broadcast to make other VDRs connect to them. That way all VDRs within the local network will have permanent "peer-to-peer" SVDRP connections between each other. The configuration in the svdrphosts.conf file is taken into account when considering whether or not to respond to an SVDRP discover broadcast. - The new SVDRP command PING is used by automatically established peer-to-peer connections to keep them alive. - The new function GetSVDRPServerNames() can be used to get a list of all VDRs this VDR is connected to via SVDRP. - The new function ExecSVDRPCommand() can be used to execute an SVDRP command on one of the servers this VDR is connected to, and retrieve the result. The helper functions SVDRPCode() and SVDRPValue() can be used to easily access the codes and values returned by ExecSVDRPCommand(). - The cTimer class now has a new member named 'remote', which holds the name of the remote server this timer will record on. If this is NULL, it is a local timer. - Timers from other VDRs that are connected to this VDR via SVDRP are now automatically fetched and stored in the global Timers list. In order for this to work, all of the channels used by timers on the remote VDR must also be defined on the local VDR (however, not necessarily in the same sequence). Automatic channel syncing will be implemented later. - The main menu of the LCARS skin now displays a small rectangle on the left side of a timer if this is a remote timer. The color of that rectangle changes if the timer is currently recording on the remote VDR. - Accessing the global Timers list now has to be protected by proper locking, because SVDRP commands are now executed in a separate thread. The introduction of this locking mechanism required the following changes: + The new classes cStateLock and cStateKey are used to implement locking with quick detection of state changes. + cConfig::cConfig() now has a parameter that indicates whether this list requires locking. + The global lists of Timers, Channels, Schedules and Recordings are no longer static variables. They are now pointers that need to be retrieved through a call to cTimers::GetTimersRead/Write(), cChannels::GetChannelsRead/Write(), cSchedules::GetSchedulesRead/Write() and cRecordings::GetRecordingsRead/Write(), respectively. + References from/to link channels are now removed in cChannels::Del() rather than cChannel::~cChannel(), to make sure the caller holds a proper lock. + cChannel::HasTimer() has been removed. This information is now retrieved via cSchedule::HasTimer(). + Several member functions of cChannel, cTimer, cMarks and cRecording have been made 'const', and some of them are now available as both 'const' and 'non-const' versions. + The cChannel::Set...() functions are now 'bool' and return true if they have actually changed any of the channels's members. + cChannels::SetModified() has been renamed to cChannels::SetModifiedByUser(). + cChannels::Modified() has been renamed to cChannels::ModifiedByUser(), and now has a 'State' parameter that allows the caller to see whether a channel has been modified since the last call to this function with the same State variable. + The macros CHANNELSMOD_NONE/_AUTO/_USER have been removed. + cMarks now requires locking via cStateKey. + cSortedTimers now requires a pointer to the list of timers. + cEvent::HasTimer() no longer scans the list of timers to check whether an event is referenced by a timer, but rather keeps score of how many timers reference it. This was necessary in order to avoid having to lock the list of timers from within a cEvent. + The new class cListGarbageCollector is used to temporary store any objects deleted from cLists that require locking. This allows pointers to such objects to be dereferenced even if the objects are no longer part of the list. + cListBase::Contains() can be used to check whether a particular object is still contained in that list. + Outdated events are no longer "phased out", but rather deleted right away and thus taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list. + Deleted cRecording objects are no longer kept in a list of "vanished" recordings, but are rather taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list. + cSchedules::ClearAll() has been removed. The functionality is now implemented directly in cSVDRPServer::CmdCLRE(). + tEventID has been changed to u_int16_t in order to make room for the new member numTimers in cEvent. + cSchedule now has a member Modified(), which can be used with a State variable to quickly determine whether this schedule has been modified since the last call to this function with the same State variable. + cSchedulesLock has been removed. Locking the list of schedules is now done via the cList's new locking mechanism. + The 'OnlyRunningStatus' parameters in cEpgHandler::BeginSegmentTransfer() and cEpgHandler::EndSegmentTransfer() are now obsolete. They are still present in the interface for backward compatibility, but may be removed in a future version. Their value is always 'false'. + The constant tcMod is no longer used in cStatus::TimerChange(). The definition is still there for backward compatibility. Plugins that access the global lists of Timers, Channels, Recordings or Schedules will need to be adapted as follows: + Instead of directly accessing the global variables Timers, Channels or Recordings, they need to set up a cStateKey variable and call the proper getter function, as in cStateKey StateKey; if (const cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersRead(StateKey)) { // access the timers StateKey.Remove(); } and cStateKey StateKey; if (cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersWrite(StateKey)) { // access the timers StateKey.Remove(); } See timers.h, thread.h and tools.h for details on this new locking mechanism. + There are convenience macros for easily accessing these lists without having to explicitly set up a cStateKey and calling its Remove() function. These macros have the form LOCK_*_READ/WRITE (with '*' being TIMERS, CHANNELS, SCHEDULES or RECORDINGS). Simply put such a macro before the point where you need to access the respective list, and there will be a pointer named Timers, Channels, Schedules or Recordings, respectively, which is valid until the end of the current block. + If a plugin needs to access several of the global lists in parallel, locking must always be done in the sequence Timers, Channels, Recordings, Schedules. This is necessary to make sure that different threads that need to lock several lists at the same time don't end up in a deadlock. + Some pointer variables may need to be made 'const'. The compiler will tell you about these. - cSectionSyncer has been improved to better handle missed sections. - Added a missing initialization of 'seen' in cChannel's copy constructor. - Background modifications of channels, timers and events are now displayed immediately in the corresponding menus. - cEIT now checks the version of the tables before doing any processing, which saves a lot of locking and processing. - If a timer is newly created with the Red button in the Schedule menu, and the timer is presented to the user in the "Edit timer" menu because it will start immediately, it now *must* be confirmed with "Ok" to set the timer. Otherwise the timer will not be created. - Recordings and deleted recordings are now scanned in a single thread. - The new SVDRP command POLL is used by automatically established peer-to-peer connections to trigger fetching remote timers. - You can now set DumpSVDRPDataTransfer in svdrp.c to true to have all SVDRP communication printed to the console for debugging. - Added a missing 'const' to cReceiver::Receive(), to protect the given Data from being modified. - The SVDRP commands that deal with timers (DELT, LSTT, MODT, NEWT, NEXT and UPDT) as well as any log messages that refer to timers, now use a unique id for each timer, which remains valid as long as this instance of VDR is running. This means that timers are no longer continuously numbered from 1 to N in LSTT. There may be gaps in the sequence, in case timers have been deleted. - The Timers menu now displays the name of the remote VDR in front of the timer's file name, if this is a remote timer. - The new options "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP peering", ".../SVDRP host name" and ".../SVDRP default host" can be used to configure automatic peering between VDRs in the same network. Peering is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting "SVDRP peering" to "yes". - The function cTimer::ToText() no longer returns a newline character at the end of the string. The newline is now added by the caller as necessary. This was changed because cTimer::ToText() is now also needed in a context where the terminating newline can't be used. Consequently, cChannel::ToText() and cMark::ToText() have been modified accordingly. - All timer related response strings from SVDRP commands now use the channel ID instead of channel numbers. - The "Edit timer" menu now has a new parameter "Record on", which can be used to select the VDR on which this timer shall record. Timers can be freely moved between connected VDRs by simply selecting the desired machine in this field. - The SVDRP command DELT no longer checks whether the timer that shall be deleted is currently recording. - The character 0x0D is now stripped from EPG texts (reported by Janne Pänkälä). - The EPG scanner no longer moves the dish if there is a positioner. - The 'newplugin' script now creates the 'po' subdirectory for translations (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Skins can now implement cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuOrientation() to display horizontal menus (thanks to Stefan Braun). - Fixed a possible stack overflow in cListBase::Sort() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Changed the description of the --chartab option in the INSTALL file to refer to "DVB SI table strings" instead of "EPG data". - The width and height of the OSD are now limited to the actual maximum dimensions of the output device, taking into account the top and left offset. - The new setup option "Recording/Record key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Record key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - Empty adaptation field TS packets are now skipped when recording (thanks to Christopher Reimer, based on the "AFFcleaner" by Stefan Pöschel).	2015-09-18 00:04:12 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5076cfb2ed	Version 2.1.1 ... VDR developer version 2.1.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff MD5 checksums: b17f9838bb8ddee9620f838fea7a171d vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 8b8ca593885c380cd370e6d19a5b16a1 vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on adding basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position and storing individual positions will follow later. The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3 later, if there are no problems. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks. - Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than one character (reported by Stefan Braun). - Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html. - Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from Udo Richter). - Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen Dolze). - Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is used (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite. - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric characters" in version 1.7.36). - Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf. - Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script. - Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported by Stefan Braun). - Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel (reported by Dominique Dumont). - Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik). + Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS"). + The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner has reached the new satellite position. + The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its range. Think of it as "full circle". + The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each cDiseqc or cScr, respectively. + A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners"). + The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to. The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish. + The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and "Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary values for a steerable dish. + The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target position has been reached. - The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display. - Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter. - No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given Priority is less than 1. - Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost. - Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed (reported by Ville Skyttä). - cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything. - Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances in transfer mode. - All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss). - Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now deprecated and disabled by default. You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning of the line //#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ... in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround. This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions. Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes, and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume. A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two 1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk fails, you can replace it without data loss.	2013-08-25 18:40:45 +02:00
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	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 = ../../..

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	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	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	93a94b18b5	Version 1.3.0 ... - Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library"). Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt. - The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id. For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments. Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order to support logging the thread ids. - Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky). However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling. - Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the 'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets. - Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally provided by Alessio Sangalli). - Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done separately, even from within plugins. - The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures may need to change some function names (which should be obvious). The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been shortened to 'description'. - Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously. - Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and 'newplugin'). - Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). - Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). - Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi). - Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level' sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work. - Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work. - Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). - The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the new channel settings. - EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID. - Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name", as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later. - The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically get their supported ids from the CI handler. - The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign a channel to a particular device. - Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256. - Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the morning).	2004-01-04 18:00:00 +01:00
