- Implemented automatic shutdown (see INSTALL and MANUAL for details).
- New SVDRP command NEXT to show the next timer event.
- The new remote control key "Power" can be used to turn the VDR machine
off (this requires the presence of the '-s' option).
- Fixed code for the default "Ok" button on the PC keyboard (was 0x162 on
the "good old" keyboards (with the F-keys at the left side), while it changed
to 0x15E on the newer keyboards).
- When a recording is edited, the summary information (if present) is now
also copied.
- When a recording is running on the primary interface, any attempt to change
the current channel will now lead to a "Channel locked" message.
- The main program loop now first checks whether any timer recordings are
finished, before starting a new timer recording. This is important in case
one timer ends at the same time another timer starts.
- New setup parameter OSDMessageTime to define how long an OSD message shall
be displayed.
- The "File" parameter of a timer can now contain the '~' character to store
the recording in a hierarchical directory structure. The '~' character has
been chosen since the file system's directory delimiter '/' may be part of
a regular programme name (showing the directory hierarchy in the "Recordings"
menu will follow later).
- Repeating timers now create recordings that contain the 'Subtitle' information
from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv stations that care
about their viewers) this contains the episode title of a series. The
subtitle is appended to the timer's file name, separated by a '~' character,
so that it results in all recordings of this timer being collected in a
common subdirectory. You can disable this with the 'UseSubtitle' parameter
in the "Setup" menu.
- The summary information is now taken from the EPG data at the actual time of
recording (no longer at the time the timer is created in the "Schedule" menu).
If a timer already has summary data, that data will be used. If you have
repeating timers in your 'timers.conf', you may want to make sure they do
NOT contain any summary information (that's the last field in the timer
definitions). Use your favourite text editor to delete that information.
That way every recording will store the actual summary data at the time of
the recording.
- The menus and the channel display now show the current date and time.
- The new Setup parameter MaxVideoFileSize can be used to customize the
maximum size of the recorded video files.
- Fixed a bug in handling repeating timers that record over midnight (the
calculation of matching timers has been completely rewritten).
- Timers that are currently recording are now marked with '#' in the "Timers"
menu.
- Timers are now sorted in the "Timers" menu, showing the sequence in which
they will be recording. This can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. Note
that the "Mark" button doesn't work if timers are displayed sorted.
- The "channel not sync'ed" log message now also lists the card number.
- Now using the EIT services from 'libdtv' (thanks to Rolf Hakenes), which
provides EPG information for NVOD ("Near Video On Demand") channels.
- Doing some bug fixing on the EPG data (some tv stations apparently have
their own idea on how to fill in the data...). The level up to which EPG
bugs are fixed can be controlled with the EPGBugfixLevel parameter in the
"Setup" menu (see MANUAL for details, and cEventInfo::FixEpgBugs() in eit.c
for the actual implementation).
- Fixed broken recordings after a driver buffer overflow.
- Fixed the chirping sound after Pause/Play of a DVD (thanks to Andreas
Schultz).
