Version 1.3.32
- Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel Thompson). - Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested by Malcolm Caldwell). - Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to Lauri Tischler). - Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from SVDRP). - The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop. - Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG. - The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through the static function cRemote::CallPlugin(). - The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor). - The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1 (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'. - Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work. - Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode. - If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this). - Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this one). - Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick Rother for reporting this one). - Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text' (thanks to Carsten Koch). - Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher). |

Version 1.3.29
- Fixed a race condition in cTransfer (thanks to Klaus Heppenheimer for reporting this one). In doing so, the 'active' variables used by the actual derived cThread classes have been replaced by the cThread::Running() function. Plugin authors may want to check their derived cThread classes and replace any 'active' variables the same way as, for instance, done in transfer.c. - Fixed handling EPG data for time shifted events (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Increased the default value for 'Min. user inactivity' to 300 minutes (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now storing the channel id in the info.vdr file even if there is no EPG info available (thanks to Andreas Brachold for reporting that there are empty info.vdr files created in that case). - Added some 'mkdir -p' to the Makefile's 'install' target (thanks to Wayne Keer). - Changed the title of the recording info menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling the frame number display if '7' is pressed before the first editing mark, or '9' after the last one (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Now discarding any previous numerical input to switch channels if Up, Down, Channel+, Channel-, Left or Right is pressed (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for reporting a problem with this). - Pressing Ok while entering a channel number now immediately switches to that channel, without waiting for further input. - Avoiding unnecessary OSD draw operations caused by the audio track description display in the ST:TNG skin's channel display (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this). - Removed the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES stuff from cDvbDevice::StillPicture(), since apparently the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call works. |

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.

Version 1.3.15
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Uwe Hanke). - Added more checks and polling when getting frontend events (based on a patch from Werner Fink). - No longer explicitly waiting for a tuner lock when switching channels (apparently setting "live" PIDs before the tuner is locked doesn't hurt). Moved the wait into cDevice::AttachReceiver() instead. - Immediately displaying the new channel info when switching channel groups. - Moved the main program loop variables further up to allow compilation with older compiler versions (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - Now calling pthread_cond_broadcast() in the destructor of cCondWait and cCondVar to make sure any sleepers will wake up (suggested by Werner Fink). Also using pthread_cond_broadcast() instead of pthread_cond_signal() in cCondWait, in case there is more than one sleeper. - Making sure that timers and channels are only saved together, in a consistent manner (thanks to Mirko Dölle for reporting a problem with inconsistent channel and timer lists). - Now handling the channel name, short name and provider separately. cChannel therefore has two new functions, ShortName() and Provider(). ShortName() can be used to display a short version of the name (in case such a version is available). The optional boolean parameter of ShortName() can be set to true to make it return the name, if no short name is available. The sequence of 'name' and 'short name' in the channels.conf file has been swapped (see man vdr(5)). - Added the 'portal name' to cChannels (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling key codes that start with 0x1B in the KBD remote control code. - Now using qsort() to sort cListBase lists. For this, the virtual function cListObject::operator<() has been replaced with cListObject::Compare(). Plugins that implement derived cListObject classes may need to adjust their code. - The "Channels" menu can now be sorted "by number" (default), "by name" and "by provider". While in the "Channels" menu, pressing the '0' key switches through these modes. - Fixed the buffer size in cRecording::SortName(). - Now displaying the name of the remote control for which the keys are being learned inside the menu to avoid overwriting the date/time in the 'classic' skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). |

Version 1.3.9
- Completed Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - New iso8859-2 font to fix the problem with program freezes (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - Implemented a default cRemote::Initialize() that waits 10 seconds for a keypress in order to prevent a "hangup" in case, e.g., the LIRC driver is not loaded (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - cBitmap::DrawBitmap() now also resets the palette if the entire bitmap area is covered (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed setting the title in the replay display of the "Classic VDR" skin in case a shorter title is set after a longer one (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now using more separate areas in the "ST:TNG Panels" skin to allow a theme to use more independent clrMenu* colors. - Fixed removing the "scanning recordings..." message in case the video directory is empty (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Added SetMessage() functions to the Replay and Channel skin functions. Plugins that implement skins will need to implement these functions. This fixes a missing "Editing process finished" message (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed the height of the channel display in the "Classic VDR" skin. - Fixed handling descriptor loops in 'libsi', which had sometimes caused invalid CA ids to be added to the channel definitions (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one, and Marcel Wiesweg for fixing it). - Fixed handling colors in cDvbSpuPalette::yuv2rgb() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made some functions of cFont virtual to allow implementing dummy fonts for the 'curses' skin. - The new plugin 'skincurses' re-implements the functionality that was previously available by compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD. Some things may not yet work as they should, but it's a starting point. |

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).

Version 1.1.30
- Fixed minimum lifespan of deleted recordings (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques).
- Fixed paging through lists with repeated Left/Right keys.
- Fixed setting the PCR-PID in case it is equal to one of the other PIDs (thanks
to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed double call to MainMenuAction() of a plugin if invoked via a hotkey (thanks
to Kai Moeller for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling dedicated keys.
- Now turning off live PIDs when replaying. This avoids short spikes from other
channels when switching between Transfer Mode channels, and also lets an ongoing
replay continue even if a recording is started on the primary device.
- The RCU channel display no longer changes when a recording on a different
channel starts on the primary device.
- Restoring the current channel in case a recording has switched the transponder.
If all devices are busy and none of them can provide the current channel, the
message "Channel not available!" will be displayed.
- Removed the (no longer necessary) 'panic' stuff from cThread.
- Added cStatus::OsdItem() to provide the entire list of menu items to a plugin
(thanks to Carsten Siebholz).
- The red ("Record") and yellow ("Pause") button in the "Main" menu are no longer
available when replaying.

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 1.1.19
- The character '|' in description texts of EPG records is now interpreted as a newline character (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Improved handling of repeated remote keys. - The RCU now only sets the channel number display when there are no incoming remote control keys, which improves reaction on repeated keys. - The actual tuning is now done in a separate thread, which makes zapping through the channels a lot faster and no longer gets stuck on channels that don't broadcast. This also makes "Motor-DiSEqC" work (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for his help in testing this). Since switching channels now no longer explicitly waits for a channel lock in the foreground thread, the "panic level" mechanism is no longer used (maybe we don't need it any more, anyway). - The keyboard is now by default always active to control VDR. The 'make' option REMOTE=KBD is therefore obsolete. When compiling VDR with REMOTE=RCU or REMOTE=LIRC, the keyboard can thus now be active together with the remote control. If you want to build VDR _without_ keyboard support you can set NO_KBD=1 in the 'make' call. Since the keyboard codes are now different from the ones used previously (which were mapped by the 'ncurses' library) you will need to go through the "Learning keys" procedure again. To do so, either delete the file /video/remote.conf or remove the KBD.* entries from it before starting this version of VDR. (Thanks to Thomas Sailer for pointing out how to set the terminal parameters to read from the keyboard). - The 'ncurses' library is now only necessary when compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD=1. |

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). |

Version 1.1.15
- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver. The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later. - Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version. - Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice. - Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for pointing out this one). - The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user can overwrite. - Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!). - Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current service ID). - Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe. - Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html under "Dolby Digital"). The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated. Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear() or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please take a look at this and maybe send patches. Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x. Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the cAudio objects. - Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE, which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary DVB device in case there are problems with this. |

Version 1.1.14
- Fixed some faulty default parameter initializations (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Added further satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner
and Oliver Endriss).
- Updated Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed a small glitch when switching channels (thanks to Dennis Noordsij for
reporting this one).
- Fixed handling multiple 'CaCaps' entries in 'setup.conf'.
- Group separators in 'channels.conf' may now be given like ':@201 My Channels',
where '@201' indicates the number to be given to the next channel. This can be
used to create 'gaps' in the channel numbering (see 'man 5 vdr'). BE CAREFUL
TO UPDATE YOUR 'timers.conf' ACCORDINGLY IF INSERTING THIS NEW FEATURE INTO YOUR
'channels.conf' FILE!
- Timers now internally have a pointer to their channel (this is necessary to
handle gaps in channel numbers, and in preparation for unique channel ids).
- Fixed slow reaction on SVDRP input (thanks to Guido Fiala for reporting this one).
- Added KI.KA to channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Frequency values for cable and terrestrial channels in 'channels.conf' can
now be given either in MHz, kHz or Hz. The actual value given will be multiplied
by 1000 until it is larger than 1000000.
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels when zapping downwards.
- Fixed checking the Ca() status of a cDevice (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed switching audio tracks in 'Transfer Mode' on the primary DVB device
(thanks to Steffen Barszus and Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one and
helping to fix it).
- Fixed channel switching in case of an active 'Transfer Mode' on the primary
device ('Transfer Mode' is now launched with priority '-1').
- Fixed a ternary expression in dvbspu.c.
- Fixed handling 'Transfer Mode' on single device systems when recording an
encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed blocking replaying in case an encrypted channel is being recorded on
the primary device.
- Now the name of the remote control is displayed when learning the keys.
- Fixed learning remote control keys in case there is more than one remote
control (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Implemented additional dedicated keys for "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Record",
"FastFwd", "FastRew", "Channel+" and "Channel-". If your remote control supports
any of these keys you can delete your 'remote.conf' file and restart VDR to
go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys.
See MANUAL for more information.
Authors of player plugins should update their ProcessKey() functions so that
the new player keys have the same functionality as the "Up", "Down", "Left",
"Right" and "Blue" keys, respectively. Note that the existing functionality
of these keys should by all means be retained, since VDR (and any plugins)
shall be fully usable with just the basic set of keys. These new keys are only
for additional comfort in case the remote control in use supports them.
- Implemented new keys to directly access the VDR main menu functions "Schedule",
"Channels", "Timers", "Recordings", "Setup" and "Commands". If your remote
control provides keys you want to assign these functions to, you can delete
your 'remote.cof' file and restart VDR to go through the key learning procedure
again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information.
- The new configuration file 'keymacros.conf' can be used to assign macros to
the color buttons in normal viewing mode, as well as to up to 9 user defined
keys. See MANUAL and man vdr(5) for more information. The default 'keymacros.conf'
implements the functionality of the "color button patch".
- Fixed a crash when learning the keys of several remote controls and pressing
buttons of those that have already been learned (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
reporting this one).

Version 1.1.13
- Added cDevice::DeviceNumber() to get the number of a device, not counting any gaps that might be in the index count. - Fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next event. - Adapted type names to the new HEAD version of the driver (which the previous NEWSTRUCT branch has been merged into). Note that to use this driver version you still need to add NEWSTRUCT=1 to the make call when building VDR. You need a HEAD version of the LinuxDVB driver dated 2002-10-11 or later to compile VDR with NEWSTRUCT=1. - Fixed radio channels in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele and Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed switching the video format in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Uwe Scheffler for reporting this one). - Reactivated full handling of second audio PID (even in 'Transfer Mode'). - Fixed a crash when closing down with remote control plugins (thanks to Oliver Endriss helping to debug this one). - Commands in the file 'commands.conf' can now have a '?' at the end of their title, which will result in a confirmation prompt before executing the command. - Changed a few leftover 'new char[...]' to MALLOC(char, ...). - If a command executed from the "Commands" menu doesn't return any output, the OSD will now be closed automatically. - The SVDRP command PUTE now triggers an immediate write of the 'epg.data' file (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). - The new configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define commands that shall be executed from the "Recordings" menu; see MANUAL and 'man vdr(5)' for details (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). |

Version 1.1.11
- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks to Jeremy Hall). - Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it: ------------------------------------------------------- --- Makefile 2002/06/10 16:24:06 1.4 +++ Makefile 2002/09/17 15:36:36 1.5 @@ -15,7 +15,12 @@ ### The directory environment: +ifdef NEWSTRUCT +DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/include +DEFINES += -DNEWSTRUCT +else DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/ost/include +endif VDRDIR = ../../..

The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls. - The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys. This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control, without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR. When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in the file 'remote.conf'. Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in the process... - While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu' key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular RC unit. - Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary device during EPG scan. |

Version 1.1.3
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes. - Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist' (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags). - Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface. - Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd. - Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor. See PLUGINS.html for details. - Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c. - Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing out this one). - Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this option from your existing Makefile. - Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available to plugins. - Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output thread necessary). - It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder 12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S. - Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data is simply saved to both files. - The following limitations apply to this version: + Transfer mode doesn't work yet. + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet. + Cutting doesn't work yet. |

Version 1.1.2
- Changed the cPlugin::Start() function to return a boolean value that indicates if the plugin will not be able to perform its task (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added the cPlugin::Housekeeping() function (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Added 'insert' capabilities to cList (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Changed the 'package' target in the plugin's Makefile to produce a package that expands to a directory with just the plugin name and version number (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the config directory available to plugins (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). See PLUGINS.html, section "Configuration files" for details. - Improved the [eid]syslog() macros, so that the LOG_... macros don't need to be given any more. |

Version 0.97
- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing
files from the video directory at the same time.
- The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or
not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files.
- Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
- The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel
number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL).
- New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Trkce'
and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Rder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon
Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or
'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see
whether they still use the correct channel number.
- Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and
Extended Description).
- Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode.
- The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of
recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers
are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the
current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired
value (see INSTALL).
- Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for
an improved version of his 'libdtv').
Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they
would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display
(where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be
specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP.
- Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote).
- Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not
thread safe, now using localtime_r().
- Removed the "system time seen..." message.
- Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow
button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt)
- Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs.
- The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay
to enter the "Recordings" menu.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Helmut Schchner).
- Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric
values.
- Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording.
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.

Version 0.91
- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long. - Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD. - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card system. - Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text was too long...). - Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off". - The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether). See 'vdr --help' for details. - Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used). - Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for details. - Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode. - If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given only once. - Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink). |

Version 0.85
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jrgen Tvedt). - Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). - Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). - Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich Rder). - Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). - Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. - Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. - Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks to Guido Fiala). - When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). - When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful setting of the mark. - Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schchner). Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of several PW channels has been changed. - Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". - Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). - Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a replay session is started immediately after that. - Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. - Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode'). |

Version 0.71
- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in the EPG scanner). - The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the second channel). - Reacitvated setting the PNR. - Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver. - The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled exclusively via SVDRP). - The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces a certain instance of VDR shall use. - The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to (de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there. - The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote control. - The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file will have the new format. - The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle. - Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not only when disk space is being needed for a new recording). - Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control. - Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the maximum possible number of DVB cards. - The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2' to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card). - The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and restore the list when switching between them. - The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a recording and play it from the very beginning. - Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS). - When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video directory. - Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer. - New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD. - The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR. - SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted. - SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed (default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup"). - The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this. - Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann). See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable. - Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor. - A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems. - New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means that every timer may use the primary interface. - The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details). - The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new 'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited. |

Version 0.70
- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher. - Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in the DVB/driver directory. Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may be sound fragments. - The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes. Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple HTML programme listing. - Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus. - Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter. - Fixed missing initialization in cConfig. - Implemented "On Disk Editing". - There is no more default 'timers.conf' file. - Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro). - Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer mode". - Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields. - Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their name (this is now mapped to 0x01). - Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'. - Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when a recording is interrupted due to higher priority. - Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file and then renames it). - In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every 5 seconds. - The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled, and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems. - Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it is still necessary for the EPG info). |

Version 0.68
- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted. - The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more than one DVB card). - The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no". - Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to the Slovenian language. - Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated). - Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP. - Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer). - There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option (see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands). - Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands. - The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record. - A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card). - The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the schedule of the current channel from that menu. - All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the same data structure. - If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity (timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for 20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not currently recording or replaying. - Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX'). - Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files. - Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display. - Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice already. |

Version 0.66
- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things a lot smoother. - Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished. - In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes: Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and releasing the key stops it. - The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording. - The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if that file still exists. - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid). - The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu. |

Version 0.65
- Modified LIRC interface to better handle repeat function. - Faster OSD by first writing into a bitmap and then sending the entire bitmap to the DVB driver at once (requires the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' to be applied against the version 0.71 DVB driver file 'dvb.c'). - When switching channels the channel is now immediately displayed, and the current/next information is shown as soon as it becomes available. - No longer displaying the year in the 'Recordings' menu to saves space for the title. - The 'Recordings' menu now displays a '*' to indicate new recordings. - Added the description of the timers.conf file to the FORMATS file (thanks to Bastian Guse). - Displaying as much as possible of the current/next info (dropping characters that would display only partially). - In normal viewing mode the '0' key now toggles between the current and the previous channel. |

Version 0.64
- NOTE: If you are using DVB driver version 0.7 you need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0, so your insmod statement should read
'insmod dvb.o outstream=0'. This is currently necessary because 'vdr'
still works with AV_PES data.
- Video files now have the 'group read' bit set.
- Fixed handling errors in 'readstring()'.
- Handling SIGPIPE and re-establishing handler after intercepting a signal.
- The configuration files are now by default read from the video directory.
This can be changed by using the new '-c' option. Make sure you copy your
current '*.conf' files to your video directory ('/video' by default), or
use "-c ." to get the old behaviour of loading the configuration files
from the current directory.
- Waiting for input is now handled by a common function, which improves
response time on user actions. As a consequence the EIT data may sometimes
not be displayed, but this will change later when cEIT runs as a separate
thread.
- The new SVDRP command 'HITK' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to 'hit'
a remote control key. Establish an SVDRP connection and enter HITK without
a parameter for a list of all valid key names.
- The new SVDRP command 'GRAB' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to grab
the current frame and save it to a file.
- The new SVDRP commands 'OVL*' can be used to control video overlays (thanks
to Guido Fiala!). This is mainly for use in the 'kvdr' tool (see the 'kvdr'
page at http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala).
- If the name of the video directory used with the '-v' option had trailing
slashes, the recording file names have been damaged. Trailing slashes are
now silently removed.
- Fixed a buffer overflow in EIT parsing.
- Added a security warning regarding SVDRP to the INSTALL file.
- Fixed 'confirm' dialog.
- The daemon mode (option '-d') now no longer works with REMOTE=KBD (there
is no stdin in daemon mode, so KBD makes no sense - plus it sometimes
crashed).

Version 0.61
- When scrolling through a list it now moves a full page up or down when the cursor reaches the top or bottom of the menu (thanks to Heino Goldenstein!). - Added missing '#include <sys/stat.h>' to recording.c. - The video directory can now be defined with the command line option -v. - There can now be more than one video directory (in case you have several disks). - Fixed learning key codes for PC keyboard. - New command line option '-l' to set the log level. - Times in timers.conf are now always printed with 4 digits (leading '0'). - Slow forward/back mode (thanks to Guido Fiala!). - The "Up" key in replay mode no longer restarts replay at the very beginning, but rather resumes normal replay mode after a "pause", "forward" or "backward" operation. Use the "Skip -60s" function repeatedly to go back to the beginning of the recording. - Improved reaction on user input in fast/slow forward/back modes. - No more upper limit for the value of 'Pnr'. - Checking if the video card is really a DVB card. - New SVDRP command UPDT to update an existing timer (or add a new one if it doesn't yet exist). - New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (with a modified channel list). - Bugfix in closing window in DEBUG_OSD mode. |

1d22145c42 |
Version 0.6
- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!). There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it work immediately even if there is no actual remote control). - Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird) not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). - Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in faster reaction. - The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!). - The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries. - The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list with the highest 'Priority' is selected. - The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in. - The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits, so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-) - Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are converted to underscores. - The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in channels.conf. - Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6. - Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control the VDR over a network connection. - Implemented command line option handling. - The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option. - Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!). This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by this timer. If the text contains the special character '|', a newline will be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red" key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer via the SVDRP interface. |

Version 0.05
- Support for more than one DVB card. - Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards). - Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name of the channel, with a prepended '@' character. - Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with a prepended '@' character. - If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains an option to stop that recording. - Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed. In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of inactivity. - If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an option to stop replaying. - Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the RCU display. - Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on menu controlling remote control units. |

85b8e41e8b |
Version 0.04
- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that appears to be in use with DVD replay. - Implemented a channel display in the top menu line. - Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up). - Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys. - Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers. - The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to kick in too early). - Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying. - Improved process handling. |

37250a0568 |
Version 0.03
- Actual record/replay now works. - Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that). - Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting. - Support for CICAM. |
