Klaus Schmidinger	da948a50d2	Version 1.3.38 ... - Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels (was broken in version 1.3.37). - Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers. - Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach). - Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems). - When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt). - Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch). - Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before actually removing it. The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started. - Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger). - Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground and background threads won't interfere. - The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant recording or replay stops, etc. - The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file (thanks to Kendy Kutzner). - EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are now automatically deleted. - Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent(). - Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time). - Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00). - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer is set or modified. - cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the event it has been set to. - The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'. If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit timer" menu for that timer. - Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread. - Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff. - Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h). - The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit 'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but has no meaning any more. - The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage() need to be adapted to the new interface. - The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class). - The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection (encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt). A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is: svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display - - The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double '/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is not allowed any more because of potential security risks. - Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino Peña): + The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links (suggested by Darren Salt). + The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any ".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt). + Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal" in VDR ;-). - When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id, keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root', but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to use the '-u' option. - Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(), so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from Jürgen Schneider). - Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer). - Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). - The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon. - Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner). - Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger). - Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by Holger Wächtler). - The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD, the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti). - The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke). - A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't remember why it wasn't active... - Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan). - Preceded all button texts with "Button$". - Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts. - Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill). - Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line //#define USE_FADVISE in tools.c. - Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem. - In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for details). - The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric sort modes. - The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if this is a menu. - The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys. - Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick Fischer). - The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed. - In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben). - Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by Andreas Böttger). - The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed. - Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM. - Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling. - Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo Schneider). - Cleaned up some trailing white space.	2006-01-08 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8c63e0fd96	Version 1.3.37 ... - Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions. - Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will use Transfer Mode just like before. - Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply data of AlphaCrypt CAMs). - Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress and isn't actively used, yet. - Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator (thanks to Holger Brunn). - The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details. - The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed (no more "pending message").	2005-11-27 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	812ab9018c	Version 1.3.36 ... - Fixed a NULL pointer access with the cUnbufferedFile when a replay session runs all the way until the end of the recording (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - A menu is no longer automatically closed when a replay ends (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - Removed '\n' from several syslog() calls (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed missing '&' in the SetAreas() example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed a memory leak in cString::operator=() (reported by Sascha Volkenandt). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Maarten Wisse). - cReadLine now dynamically allocates its buffer, so that it can handle lines of any length. - Changed cConfig::Load() to use cReadLine instead of a fixed buffer (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting a problem with extremely long summary fields in timers). - cSVDRP now dynamically allocates its command buffer in order to handle commands of any length. The MAXPARSEBUFFER macro is now obsolete and has been removed. If a plugin has used that macro, it should either define a buffer size of its own, or use cReadLine when reading files. - Fixed a race condition in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The EPG scan no longer disturbs players that have also set live PIDs (reported by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed setting the help key display in the Recordings menu in case of several layers of subdirectories. - Removed EPG bugfix #0, because it removed actually important data.	2005-11-06 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	99e3c093f4	Version 1.3.35 ... - Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Philip Prindeville). - Now using daemon() instead of fork() to run VDR in daemon mode (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Fixed a possible endless loop in a menu with no selectable items if Setup.MenuScrollWrap is true (thanks to Enrico Scholz). - Making sure no item is displayed as "current" if Up, Down, Left or Right is pressed in a menu with no selectable items. - Added '__attribute__' to functions that use printf() like parameters (thanks to Darren Salt). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.1 (reported by Christoph Hermanns). - Added more error messages and line numbers when reading EPG data and info.vdr (thanks to Peter Bieringer). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Added missing mutex locks to cCiMenu::Abort() and cCiEnquiry::Abort() (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed lock handling in CAM communication to avoid problems with multiple CAMs per device or CAMs with more than one smart card. - Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Nicolas Huillard). - Fixed the cFilter example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Patrick Fischer). - The new class cUnbufferedFile is used for the recording files to avoid trashing the file system cache (based on a patch by Ralf Müller).	2005-10-31 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d5c85f5ff8	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).	2005-09-11 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ad40eaa28e	Version 1.3.31 ... - Added missing German OSD texts for 'Audio language'. - The Setup/CICAM menu now only contains the devices that actually have a CI and dynamically detects the number of slots a CI provides. - Implemented cAudioRepacker for better handling of audio PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Modified handling of audio packets for radio channels in remux.c (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed the EPG scan, so that it doesn't use the primary device if that is currently in Transfer-Mode from itself (thanks to Marcus Hilbrich for a bug report that lead to this). - Removed the TUNER_LOCK_TIMEOUT in cDevice::AttachReceiver() since it caused more trouble than it fixed. - Fixed detecting short channel names for "Kabel Deutschland", who uses a comma as delimiter (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Moved cMenuEditTimer and cMenuEvent to menu.h so that plugins can use it (suggested by Thomas Günther). - The new static function cString::sprintf() can be used to easily create a formatted string. - Plugins can now implement their own SVDRP commands (based on a patch from Hardy Flor). See PLUGINS.html, section "SVDRP commands" for details. The SVDRP commands of a plugin are accessed through the new SVDRP command PLUG. See PLUGINS/src/svdrpdemo for an example of how to use this feature. - The new SVDRP command PLAY can be used to start replaying a recording (thanks to Hardy Flor). - The new SVDRP command EDIT can be used to start the editing process of a recording (based on the CUTR patch by Harald Milz).	2005-08-28 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	dab203efe9	Version 1.3.30 ... - Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus. - Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs that actually use it. - Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR. - Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter). See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details. - Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to David Woodhouse for his help).	2005-08-21 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	dbacda8274	Version 1.3.21 ... - Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() to avoid a blank screen after switching back to live mode if a recording is currently active on the primary device. - Fixed a possible freeze in pause mode in case a device's PlayPesPacket() function permanently returns 0 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl and Olaf Titz). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Restricted the "setting audio track" log message to automatic changes during replay. - Fixed handling Transfer Mode for radio channels (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Forcing a new resync after a call to cRemux::Clear() (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - The cAudio::Play() function now has an additional parameter 'uchar Id' which tells the function the substream id of the given audio packet, so that a plugin can take the right action for the various kinds if audio data - which now also includes "normal" audio with ids 0xC0...0xDF (based on suggestions by Werner Fink and Macro Schlüßler). - Removed the "Cleared/PlayPes(NULL, 0)" handling from cTransfer::Action(), since this is now done when attaching the player to the device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Making sure the buffer reserve in cTransfer::Action() is re-established after clearing the buffer. - Added DeviceClrAvailableTracks() and DeviceSetCurrentAudioTrack() to cPlayer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a typo in detecting UTF-8 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now using twice the buffer reserve in cTransfer if the primary DVB card is an unmodified version with only 2MB of SDRAM, to avoid audio stuttering when playing Dolby Digital over the DVB card (thanks to Christian Jacobsen and Chad Flynt for suggestions and experiments in that area). - Making sure the first audio packet is not dropped when switching to "pre 1.3.19 Dolby Digital compatibility mode". - The 'plugins-clean' target of the Makefile now only deletes the actual plugin library files from this version of VDR (suggested by Andreas Brachold). - Added a missing 'resultSkipped = 0' to cRemux::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - The new function cDvbDevice::SetTransferModeForDolbyDigital() can be used by plugins that implement Dolby Digital output and thus want to prevent the cDvbDevice from starting Transfer Mode in order to replay DD over the DVB device. - Added missing reset of the 'repacker' to cTS2PES::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one).	2005-02-13 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	4d477cd144	Version 1.3.20 ... - Fixed displaying the "Audio" menu with the "Green" button from the "Main" menu in case there is only one audio track (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Now setting primaryDevice = NULL before deleting the devices in cDevice::Shutdown() to avoid problems in case other threads access it (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing this out). - Fixed a buffer overflow in case a station defines all 32 audio PIDs (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Fixed masking SubStreamType in cDevice::PlayPesPacket() (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out this one). - The new function cPlugin::Stop() shall be used to stop any background activities of a plugin. Previously this was done in the plugin's destructor, but it is better to do this in a dedicated function that can be called early when shutting down. - Moved the call to SetAudioChannel(0) into cDevice::ClrAvailableTracks() to have it executed also when starting a replay. - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - The new setup option "OSD/Channel info time" can be used to define the time after which the channel display is removed if no key has been pressed (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Modified cDolbyRepacker to make sure PES packets don't exceed the requested length (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed several memory leaks that were introduced through the use of cString (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting these). - Added CMD_SPU_CHG_COLCON to cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Making sure the current audio track is actually one of the ones available in a recording (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting a problem when starting replay of a recording that has no Dolby Digital audio after switching to a channel that has DD and selecting the DD audio track). - Removed 'flags' from tTrackId (thought we would need this, but apparently we don't). - Making sure the "Mute" and "Volume+/-" keys don't interfere with digital audio. - Fixed the "pre 1.3.19" compatibility mode for old Dolby Digital recordings (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out that this can be triggered in the default branch). - Calling pesAssembler->Reset() in cDevice::AttachPlayer() to avoid problems with residual data in replay and Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out). - Added MPEG1 replay capability to cPesAssembler (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2005-02-06 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	e36fe18c48	Version 1.3.19 ... - Making sure at least the default skin is available at program start in case a plugin needs to issue an error message (thanks to Achim Tuffentshammer for reporting a crash in such a case). Also checking if there is a current skin in cSkins::Message(). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts and fixed internationalization of the text for "Setup/DVB/Audio language(s)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Completed the Estonian OSD texts and switched to iso8859-13 character set (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Made cCondWait::SleepMs() sleep at least 3ms to avoid a possible busy wait. - Fixed canceling the LIRC thread (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - The "Green" button in the "Main" menu is now always "Audio", since the audio channel might be changed even if there is only one actual audio PID. - Fixed handling the '-E' option which was broken in version 1.3.18 (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Mainz (thanks to Michael Heyse). - Implemented cDolbyRepacker for better handling of Dolby Digital PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed playing files with PES packets longer than 2048 byte through the full featured DVB card (thanks to Marco Kremer for reporting this one and providing a test sample). - Recording and Transfer Mode now handle more than 2 audio PIDs. For this the interfaces of the following functions have been changed: cTransferControl::cTransferControl() cTransfer::cTransfer() cRecorder::cRecorder() cReceiver::cReceiver() cRemux::cRemux() - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() and cTSBuffer::Action() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Extended some buffer sizes to allow handling HDTV streams (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Düsseldorf and Köln (thanks to Walter Koch). - Falling back to 'stereo' when switching channels in case the user had switched to 'left' or 'right' (suggested by Rolf Groppe). - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Recording and Transfer Mode can now handle up to 8 Dolby Digital tracks (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for a patch that implements substream handling into cDevice::PlayPesPacket(), and Reinhard Nissl for adding substream handling to cDolbyRepacker). - Added PlayPes(NULL, 0) to cTransfer::Action() when clearing the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out).	2005-01-23 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	fb5cccb2df	Version 1.3.18 ... - Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink). + The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary. + cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets. + cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version 0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now has an 'int' return value. + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class function. It shall just play the given data as audio. + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes(). + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are actually required will be processed. + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that have their own idea about this. + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to allow access to all available PIDs. - Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for pointing this out). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos). - Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to Laurence Abbott). - Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were shifted one too far to the left). - Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font files. - Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry. - Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out). - Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide the actual buffering. In particular these are: readdir() -> cReadDir readline() -> cReadLine - Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString: cChannel::ToText() tChannelID::ToString() cEvent::GetDateString() cEvent::GetTimeString() cEvent::GetEndTimeString() cEvent::GetVpsString() cMark::ToText() cTimer::ToText() cSource::ToString() cTimer::PrintDay() cTimer::PrintFirstDay() PrefixVideoFileName() IndexToHMSF() ChannelString() strescape() AddDirectory() itoa() WeekDayName() DayDateTime() When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value, as in const char *date = DayDateTime(); Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not be valid after this line. Use this instead: cString date = DayDateTime(); In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be dereferenced with a '*', as in printf("%s", *DayDateTime()); to make it a 'const char *'. - Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead. - Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing out this problem). - Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching receivers from different threads. - The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language" to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital audio tracks (see MANUAL for details). - The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors" that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes, which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3. - The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details). - The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed. - Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio track menu. - The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the botton left side. - The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages (see MANUAL for details). - The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks in these channels (see MANUAL for details). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund). - Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick Gleichmann). - Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu. - Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for their support in testing and fine tuning this version.	2005-01-09 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	3c349510b5	Version 1.3.8 ... - Fixed a crash when switching the skin and having selected a non-default theme that is not available for the newly selected skin (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed some issues with gcc 3.4 (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam and Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a hint to PLUGINS.html about how to name a plugin that implements a skin. - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Single shot timers and events now show the day of week (adopted with some changes from the "elchi" patch, orginally introduced by Oskar Signell). Plugins that use cEvent::GetDateString() should note that this function now returns a longer string, including the day of week. The new function const char *WeekDayName(time_t t) can be called with a time_t value to get the day of week for that time. - When processing XPM data, the color name "None" is now mapped to #00000000, which is "fully transparent" (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the OSD alignment in the SPU decoder (thanks to Miko Wohlgemuth for reporting this one and helping to test the fix). - Fixed freezing picture when a recording starts on a system that always uses 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Michal Dobrzynski for reporting this one). - Fixed a memory leak in NIT processing (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a few missing initializations (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuText to VDR/menu.h to make it available to plugins. It now also has a SetText() function that can be used to dynamically set the text in an already existing cMenuText (both suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added play mode pmVideoOnly (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a missing cStatus::MsgOsdClear() to cDisplayChannel::~cDisplayChannel() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer displaying unused color buttons in the "Classic VDR" skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Added some missing cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() calls (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).	2004-05-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c80a53ff6e	Version 1.3.7 ... - Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess). - Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6. - Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6). - Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig). - Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them available for plugins. - The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts. - The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of the small font (see MANUAL for details). - Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd. Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements. - Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the driver, together with the endian problem). - The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left corner of the OSD. - The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters). When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically. - The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD display on arbitrary hardware. - The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how to use these. - Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this functionality later. - The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc], VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin". - The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Theme". - Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font, because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9 and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's going wrong here... - Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).	2004-05-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	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
Klaus Schmidinger	17c5b4169e	Version 1.2.6pre5 ... - Added cDevice::GetSTC() (suggested by Sven Goethel). - Added Asia-Pacific satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Richard Scobie). - Added North American satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Luke Jenkins). - Fixed getting the list of recordings in case VDR is started from a directory where it doesn't have access to (thanks to Dirk Mueller).	2003-11-08 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d072cc6da2	Version 1.2.0pre1 ... - Some corrections to the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Fixed some missing commas in i18n.c (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos for reporting this problem). - Some corrections to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Antonio Ospite). - Fixed breaking off replay in case the user hits "Play" or "Pause" too soon after going into "Pause live video" mode (thanks to Karim Afifi for reporting ths one). - Some corrections to the Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Jordi Vilà). - Single event timers are now deleted if the recording they are doing is deleted before the timer ends. - Fixed an uninitialized variable in cDisplayChannel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed a possible access of invalid file handles in cSIProcessor::Action() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2003-05-30 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	8ab980e1d9	Version 1.1.33 ... - Modified handling of audio packets in cDvbPlayer for better sync with external AC3 replay (thanks to Werner Fink). - Fixed a memory leak in cNonBlockingFileReader (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed I/O handling in case an explicit controlling terminal is given (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed resume file handling in case the resume.vdr file can't be written (thanks to Gerhard Steiner). - Fixed cutting a recording if there is only a single editing mark (thanks to Ralf Klueber for reporting this one). - Fixed volume display in case a plugin has its own OSD open (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed channel switching in the EPG scanner on single device systems. - Completed the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Now switching to the channel used by the most recently started timer in case the original current channel becomes unavailable due to a recording on a different transponder. If this fails, a channel up/down switch is attempted as a fallback solution (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one, and to Hermann Gausterer for suggesting to switch to the recording channel). - Fixed cReplayControl::Show() to avoid a compiler warning in g++ 3.2.3 (thanks to Jan Ekholm for reporting this one). - Completed the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Changed the DEFAULTPRIORITY in device.c to -1, so that the primary device will be used for FTA recordings in case the CAM is connected to a non-primary device (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for reporting this one). - The cCiHandler now closes its file handle when it gets destroyed. - Checking for duplicate recordings with the same file name and disabling the second timer (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). - Fixed handling newly created timers in case they are not confirmed with "Ok" (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - It is now possible to directly delete a timer that is currently recording (thanks to Alexander Damhuis for reporting this one).	2003-05-25 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	3bd9a7ccf3	Version 1.1.32 ... - Removed a faulty parameter initialization in menu.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Re-implemented the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff in cRingBuffer, since some plugins actually need this. By default the buffer does not wait; if a plugin needs the waiting functionality it can call the new SetTimeouts() function. - Moved the call to cPlugin::Start() further up in vdr.c, to make sure it gets called before trying to learn the keys (problem reported by Oliver Endriss). - No longer starting the editing process if no marks have been set (thanks to Matthias Raus for reporting this one). - Added Catalanian language texts (thanks to Marc Rovira Vall and Ramon Roca). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 16 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 16 versions for each of your texts. - Moved the detection of a broken video data stream from the cDevice into the cRecorder to avoid problems with cReceivers that want to receive from PIDs that are currently not transmitting (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting this one). - Fixed setting the locking pid after a timed wait (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding spurious section filter settings after a channel switch. - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed reading 'epg.data' for channels with non-zero RID (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed EPG bugfix statistics to avoid log entires for undefined channels (thanks to Lars Bläser for reporting this one). - No longer waiting inside cIndexFile::CatchUp() to avoid shortly blocking replay at the end of a recording.	2003-05-18 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c84022554a	Version 1.1.31 ... - Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase (suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable. - Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz). - Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one). - Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video is actually coming from. - Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the "short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland). - Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button or the "Back" button during replay. - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow). - Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x (thanks to Andreas Schultz).	2003-05-11 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	9f91980146	Version 1.1.27 ... - The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device. - The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3. - Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for helping to fix it). - Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell). - Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy Grobb for reporting this one). - Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details). - Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it). - If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device is now used as primary device (just to have some device). - Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup. - Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).	2003-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	96ebdbf4b1	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).	2002-12-01 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	fe9499ba90	Version 1.1.17 ... - Added new entries to 'ca.conf'. - Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this one). - Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in dvbdevice.c). - Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *). So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source for the MainMenuAction() function. Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html. - Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable. This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set the RIDs of these channels to different values. When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended to the channel definitions. Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can only be distinguished through the RID. - The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems). - Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID. - Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt). - Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window 'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).	2002-11-24 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	1a8a081629	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.	2002-11-03 18:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	57bd7eeed1	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).	2002-10-27 17:00:00 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	cd7ccd64fd	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).	2002-10-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	313e33539c	Version 1.1.12 ... - Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T (see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler and Andy Carter for testing. If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C, for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the 'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial", for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards. Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]), and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses cChannel data accordingly. - The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources (satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to 'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging). - The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the "source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the 'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package. - The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format). - The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source. - The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used. - Removed some unnecessary #includes from eit.c and changed cMenuRecordings::Del() to cMenuRecordings::Delete() to avoid warnings in gcc-3.2 (thanks to Andreas Schultz for pointing this out). - Improved skipping channels that are (currently) not available (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Updated channels.conf.terr and channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed a bug when pressing the "Blue" button in the main menu without having displayed it (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).	2002-10-06 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d08073815d	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.	2002-09-29 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	523c4a07aa	Version 1.1.9 ... - Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation. If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary. - Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented. - cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here. - Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle multiple recordings. - Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived cDevice classes. - Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices receiving multiple channels. - Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are recording and these channels are on different transponders). - Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2002-09-08 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	a2a215d5e1	Version 1.1.8 ... - Fixed replaying the last few seconds of a recording. - Added some missing #includes to files in libdtv for gcc 3.2 (thanks to Jürgen Zimmermann). - Added cDevice::NewOsd() to allow a derived cDevice class to implement its own OSD capabilities (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Added cPalette::AllColors() for plugins that need to get the color entries of a cPalette (see osdbase.h). - The new SVDRP command CLRE can be used to clear the entire EPG data (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Fixed handling one-shot timers that were already recording and had their start time changed into the future (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for reporting this one).	2002-08-25 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ed643353b1	Version 1.1.7 ... - Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with 'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice). By default it currently still uses the old driver. - Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!", since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people. - Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this in his DXR3 plugin). - cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall check if any of its file handles is ready for data. - Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.	2002-08-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	527748826c	Version 1.1.6 ... - Re-visited the race condition fix in the cDvbPlayer (thanks again to Andreas Schultz). - Changed the VFAT handling to allow users who normally use it but have forgotten to set it when compiling a new version of VDR to at least see their recordings made with VFAT enabled (thanks to Christian Rienecker). - Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Joerg Riechardt). - Fixed PID handling for cReceiver. - Added a missing #include to ringbuffer.c (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Now using CC, CFLAGS, CXX and CXXFLAGS in Makefile. - Changed the cDevice class to allow plugins to implement their own devices (see PLUGINS.html for details).	2002-08-04 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	a4112a96a6	Version 1.1.5 ... - Added direct access to the index data of cPalette (needed for displaying SPUs, thanks to Andreas Schultz). - The status monitor function cStatus::Replaying() now gets a 'cControl *' argument instead of a 'cDvbPlayerControl *' in order to allow additional players to call this function. cPlayer and cControl have been given the functions GetIndex() and GetReplayMode() to allow access to the player's status. - Added cOsd::OpenRaw() to create a raw OSD (needed for displaying SPUs). - Changed the symantics of the Name parameter in cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(). It is no longer the full directory name of the recording, but rather just the basic name. This has been changed to allow players that can't provide a name to simply use a string that describes the player type (like, e.g., "DVD"). - Fixed a hangup when switching to the next file during replay. - Fixed a possible race condition in the cDvbPlayer (thanks to Andreas Schultz for pointing out this one). - Disabled channels on Transponder 12070 in 'channels.conf', which apparently no longer transmits.	2002-07-21 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	54d069c95c	Version 1.1.4 ... - Added Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Activated cutting. - Activated 'Transfer Mode'. - Moved handling of the Menu key entirely into vdr.c. - Switched VDR's own player to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - Switched handling 'Transfer Mode' to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - The following limitations apply to this version: + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.	2002-06-23 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	f06d2c27fc	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.	2002-06-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d07e3829f7	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.	2002-05-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	803c6c6bf6	Version 1.1.1 ... - Separated the actual DVB hardware OSD implementation from the abstract OSD interface. 'osdbase.c/.h' now implements the abstract OSD, while 'dvbosd.c/.h' is the actual implementation for the DVB hardware. This is in preparation for allowing additional kinds of OSD hardware implementations. - Fixed leftover references to the file FORMATS in MANUAL and svdrp.c. - Avoiding ambiguities in the cList template class in case one defines a "list of lists" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Simplified the basic cMenuSetupPage class for easier use in plugins. - Added setup parameters and a Setup menu to the 'hello' plugin example. - Fixed logging error message for unknown config parameters in plugins. - Rearranged cleanup sequence at the end of the main program. - Adapted PLUGINS.html to use the actual code examples from the 'hello' plugin.	2002-05-11 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	ae8a947367	Version 1.1.0 ... - Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION! The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch. - First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L' and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer" shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow. - The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.	2002-05-09 18:00:00 +02:00
