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.

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. |

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). |

Version 1.3.34
- Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.5 (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). - Fixed opening recording folders in case the last replayed recording no longer exists (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed an unjustified "Error while accessing recording!" after deleting a recording from a subfolder. - Fixed handling the '.update' file in case the video directory is not at the default location (reported by Jon Burgess). - Fixed a crash in cConfig::Load() when compiling on the PPC (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the FATALERRNO macro to check for a non-zero errno value (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Added a check against MAXOSDAREAS in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed setting current menu item if the first one is non-selectable. - cOsdItem::cOsdItem() now has a 'Selectable' parameter. - Improved displaying 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu. - Added status message "Resetting CAM..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM reset has been triggered. - The CAM menu now automatically updates itself in case of a progress display (as used, for instance, when updating the firmware via satellite). - Now skipping some funny characters sent by some CAMs at the beginning of strings. - The CAM menu is now completely closed when pressing the Menu key while inside a sub menu. - Reduced MAX_CONNECT_RETRIES in ci.c to 2 (waiting too long made the whole thing appear hanging). - Added status message "Opening CAM menu..." for an immediate feedback when the CAM menu has been requested. - Speeded up initial opening of the CAM menu. - Fixed handling of menus with no selectable items. - The character 0x8A in CAM menu strings is now mapped to a real newline. - The 'sub-title' and 'bottom text' in the CAM menu can now consist of several lines. - Improved the CAM enquiry menu. |

Version 1.3.33
- Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer).
Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is
no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances.
- Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow
for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for
reporting this one).
- Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher
for reporting this one).
- Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc].
- The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings
list, but rather deletes that particular entry.
- The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster
startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up.
If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read,
the menu will be updated accordingly.
Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread
by putting something like
cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&Recordings);
into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing
and debugging this.
- The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to
Thomas Günther).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is
added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to
Alexander Rieger).
- Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan).

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 1.3.28
- Added a sleep in cDvbPlayer::Action() in case there is no data to send to the device, which avoids a busy loop on very fast machines (thanks to Martin Wache). - Modified the description of cDevice::Poll() to avoid misunderstandings. - Updated Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - cDvbPlayer::Goto() now appends a Sequence End Code to get the image shown immediately with softdevices (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Reactivated cVideoRepacker in remux.c after some fixes (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed the fix for handling VPS timers, so that they only record if the event they are assigned to actually has the given VPS time. This has caused repeating VPS timers to stop recording prematurely. - Avoiding duplicate components in EPG events when reading epg.data or in the PUTE SVDRP command (thanks to Olaf Titz for reporting this one). - Added the command line options '--lirc', '--rcu' and '--no-kbd' to allow setting the remote control at runtime (based on a patch by Darren Salt). - Now checking whether timers or channels are currently being edited via the menu before making changes through SVDRP (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting a problem with this). - Files and directories are now created with rights according to the shell's umask settings (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Fixed the cChannel copy constructor (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out a problem with it). - Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access with audio language ids (thanks to Matthias Lenk for reporting, and Udo Richter for suggesting a fix). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added missing storing of the MenuScrollPage parameter (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Added cRemux::SetTimeouts() for better use of cRemux in a single thread (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting a problem with this). - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it uses the primary device if it is replaying and is the only device that provides the given transponder, and that a forced EPG scan works even if EPG scan timeout is set to 0 (thanks to Bernhard Stegmaier for reporting a problem with this). - Fixed cDvbSpuBitmap::putPixel() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed setting system time to avoid time jumps in case of faulty data (thanks to Andreas Böttger). - Fixed a memory leak in the SVDRP command LSTE (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). |

Version 1.3.26
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling 'summary.vdr' files with more than two empty lines (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Improved resetting CAM connections (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented cVideoRepacker in remux.c to make sure every PES packet contains only data from one frame (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). NOTE: currently this doesn't work with MPEG1, so if you use MPEG1 you may want to change line 1158 in remux.c to ts2pes[numTracks++] = new cTS2PES(VPid, resultBuffer, IPACKS); as it was before. - EPG events without a title now display "No title" instead of "(null)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - A device can now detach all receivers for a given PID, as is necessary, e.g., for the bitstreamout plugin (thanks to Werner Fink). - Added the year (two digits) to recording dates in LSTR, and thus also in menus (suggested by Jan Ekholm). - Fixed the call to Channels.Unlock() in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling timers with a day given as MTWTF--@6, i.e. a repeating timer with first day not as full date, but just day of month (thanks to Henrik Niehaus for reporting this one). - Removed an unnecessary #include from osd.c (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Fixed dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration, in case it's an NVOD event (thanks to Chris Warren). - Fixed handling page up/down in menu lists in case there are several non selectable items in a row (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Added cOsdMenu::SetCols() to allow adjusting the menu columns. - Modified cEITScanner::Process() so that it works on systems with only budget cards or a mix of DVB-S, DVB-C or DVB-T cards. |

Version 1.3.25
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Some cable providers don't mark short channel names according to the standard, but rather go their own way and use "name>short name". VDR now splits at this character for cable channels (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Added a check for Setup.DiSEqC in cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(), otherwise the EPG scan didn't work on systems that don't use DiSEqC (thanks to Michael Reinelt for reporting this one). - Made the Makefile patch friendlier (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Made cOsd::isOpen an integer counter to avoid problems with messages when a cOsdObject uses the raw OSD (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in 'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in summary2info.pl /video (the parameter given has to be the video directory). If there is no 'info.vdr' file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'. - The "Summary" button in the "Recordings" menu has been renamed to "Info", and the page it brings up now shows the recording's information, much like the EPG event page. Therefore it now no longer uses the skin's SetText() function, but rather the SetRecording() function. Skin plugins may need to adjust that function accordingly (see skinsttng.c, for instance). - The SVDRP command LSTR now lists the recording information in the same tagged format as the LSTE command lists the EPG data. - The audio track menu now contains track descriptions when replaying (provided such descriptions were available in the EPG data when the recording was made, and are stored in the info.vdr file). - Avoiding extra blanks at the end of names of instant recordings. - Removed converting byte order on big endian systems from cDvbOsd::Flush(), which, according to Johannes Stezenbach and Paavo Hartikainen, is wrong. - Added cPlayer::DeviceSetVideoDisplayFormat() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer saving the setup in case of a fatal error, to keep the volume level from being set to a wrong value (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible hangup when ending a replay session while cIndexFile::CatchUp() is waiting (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The SVDRP command DELR no longer deletes recordings that are currently being written to by a timer (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). - Pressing the "Play" key in live viewing mode now resumes a previous replay session (thanks to Mirko Dölle). - Now dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the NPTL and UTF-8 checks after the version and help output (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out that 'vdr --version' failed on an UTF-8 system). - Made tChannelID::operator==() inline for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - Introduced cListBase::count for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher). - cEvent no longer stores the channelID directly, but rather has a pointer to the schedule it is in. - Now using hash tables to speed up cSchedule::GetEvent() (partially based on a patch from Georg Acher). - Avoiding unnecessary calls to getLength() in libsi/si.c, and avoiding the '& 0xff' in CRC32::crc32() of libsi/util.c (thanks to Georg Acher). - Speeded up deleting duplicate channels. - Fixed listing recordings with empty episode names in the LSTR command (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Added cThread::SetPriority() and using it in cSectionHandler::Action() to reduce the priority of the section handler threads (as suggested by Georg Acher). |

- Now including the optional user defined Make.config from the 'libsi' Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Fixed a memory leak in tComponent (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt and Daniel Thompson). - Fixed a memory leak in cDvbPlayer (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added missing text internationalization for "Starting EPG scan" (thanks to Matthias Lötzke). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling transparent areas in cDvbSpuBitmap (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now also considering the "EPG linger time" when saving the EPG data to file or listing it via LSTE (thanks to Roman Krenický). - Fixed handling fragments of less than 4 byte in cPesAssembler (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a bug in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::getLength() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - When reading the channels.conf file, duplicate channels (i.e. ones that have the same channel ID) are now automatically deleted and only the first one is actually stored. - Fixed handling lifetime when deciding whether to delete a recording (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed timeout handling in cRwLock::Lock() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Since there are several places in thread.c where a timeout value is calculated, this has been put into a separate function. - The timer status now has a new bit that is set when that timer is currently recording (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). See man vdr(5) for details. - Removed scaling coordinates in letterbox mode from cDvbSpu - the DVD plugin, which was the only one needing this, doesn't need it any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer retuning or restarting a recording if only the language code of an audio or Dolby PID changes. - Now preferring budget cards when selecting a DVB device for recording. - Recordings now avoid zero sized video data files (thanks to Wolfgang Fitz). - Some rearrangements in cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a wrong inheritance in libsi's SubtitlingDescriptor::Subtitling (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). |

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). |

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). |

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.

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 1.3.12
- Removed all error messages from cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() and just skipping entries that cause errors in order to avoid failure in case of things like broken links etc. - The function cTimers::SetEvents() now immediately returns if there is some user input. - Fixed handling menu status messages when the list contents is scrolled (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed checking the last area for misalignment in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - No longer adding section filters to the list of filters if they can't be opened (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling section filters (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling CAM connections. - Making sure the OSD reports oeWrongAlignment errors before any oeAreasOverlap error (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Avoiding flashing effects in the OSD of full featured DVB cards by explicitly clearing the OSD windows before opening them (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - Experimental support for NVOD channels. Currently these channels are detected and linked to their "base" channels using the same mechanisms as for the "linked services" (let's see if this is useful). Thanks to Mike parker for helping to test this. Also used some input from the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz). - Now storing the name of the service provider (aka "bouquet") in the channel name, separated by a semicolon (see man vdr(5) for details). Explicit usage of the various parts of the channel name is yet to come. - The 'radio' channel icon is now only displayed in the ST:TNG skin if the channel actually has an APID. |

Version 1.3.11
- In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do 'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR. - Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for reporting this one). Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file! - Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo). - Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin). - Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting this one). - No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle). - The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu. If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings. If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file '.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings. - Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually implemented for FF DVB cards. - Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard Cedric for reporting this one). - Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out this one). - Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). |

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!). |

Version 1.2.6pre1
- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for reporting this one). - Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry (thanks to Ralf Klueber). - Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt). - Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf' (thanks to Thomas Rausch). - Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects new VDR installations. - Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs full (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later problems with timers. |

Version 1.2.5pre3
- Fixed dropping out of replay mode while viewing a recording that is still
going on (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting and helping to debug this
one).
- Fixed handling ':' characters in channel names when reading channels.conf
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed the URL to the 'Doxygen' tool in INSTALL (thanks to Dirk Essl).
- Removed the obsolete chapter "Stopping a recording on the primary DVB interface"
from MANUAL.
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).
- Made 'diseqc.conf' a required file only if Setup.DiSEqC is activated (thanks to
Thomas Schmidt).
- VDR now starts up even if 'keymacros.conf' references a plugin that is currently
not loaded (suggested by Alexander Wetzel).
- Fixed checking for VIDEO_STREAM_S in cRemux::SetBrokenLink() (thanks to Oliver
Endriss).
- Added 'repeat' function to keys '7' and '9' ("jump to mark") in replay mode
(suggested by Oliver Endriss).
- Made cOsdMenu::Display() virtual, which allows plugins to do some additional
processing after calling the base class function (suggested by Jan Rieger).
- Updated 'ca.conf' (thanks to Marco Franceschetti).

Version 1.2.3 (not officially released)
- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material. In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem(). - Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this). - Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl). - Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on the same channel. - Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to Richard Robson for reporting this one). - Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous" (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one). |

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). |

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). |

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. |

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). |

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 1.1.27
- 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). |

Version 1.1.21
- Fixed the 'channels.conf' entries for "Studio Universal" and "Disney Channel". - Fixed handling channels in the "Channels" menu in case there are ':@nnn' group separators without names (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this one). - The SVDRP command CHAN now also accepts channel IDs. - Increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written (sometimes in time shift with heavy system load the index file was closed too early by the replay thread). - Implemented "Link Layer" based CAM support, which hopefully will solve the problems with CAMs we had in the past. To use this you need the driver version 2002-01-08 or higher (with the new firmware supporting the "Link Layer" protocol). - Added an EPG bugfix that moves the Subtitle data to the Extended Description in case the latter is empty and the Subtitle exceeds some useful length. - Since several channels put very long strings into the Subtitle part of their EPG data, that string is now limited in length when used in a recording's file name. |

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 1.1.12
- 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). |

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). |

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. |

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). |

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. |

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 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. |

Version 1.0.0pre5
- Fixed restoring CICAM setup values for a fourth DVB card (thanks to Klaus Wolf). - Completed internationalization of OSD texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen, Arnold Niessen, Paulo Lopes, Jean-Claude Repetto, Alberto Carraro, Matjaz Thaler and Truls Slevigen). - Improved file I/O in case of EINTR, which may occur e.g. with heavy system load (thanks to Werner Fink). - Now writing the title of a recording into the 'summary.vdr' file. - Workaround for displaying still frames with the unpatched LinuxDVB driver (if anybody ever finds out why the unpatched driver doesn't display VDR's still frames, please let me know). - When executing a command from the "Commands" menu, the title of that command is now immediately shown in the status line (followed by "...") to give the user some feedback that the command is being executed, which is especially important if this takes some time. - Fixed scrolling the "Channels" menu in case the cursor ends up on a group delimiter (thanks to Bernd Zierath for helping to debug this one). - Added manual pages vdr(1) and vdr(5) (which made the FORMATS file obsolete). - New command command line option '-V' to display the VDR version. - Adjusting column width for channel numbers in case there are more than 999 channels. - Checking the return value of '...FileRady...' calls in dvbapi.c for better performance under heavy system load. - New 'make' target 'install', which copies the manual pages and executables to their appropriate system locations and creates the /video directory if it doesn't exist yet. - Automatic hotkey assignment is now suppressed if the first entry in commands.conf starts with a digit in the range '1'...'9', followed by a blank. - Fixed a bug in switching back the replay mode display in time shift mode (thanks to Achim Lange for reporting this one). - Fixed a bug in the 'First day' timer parameter for timers that record over midnight. - Added units to Setup parameters. - Changed time entry in the 'Jump' command during replay, so that it is filled up from right to left. - Now using statfs() to determine the amount of free disk space, which avoids the use of an external 'df' command (thanks to Ruben Nunez Francisco). - Fixed skipping the next hit of a repeating timer (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Fixed a bug when a timer records over midnight of a day that had a change in Daylight Saving Time. - Added Polish language texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Fixed a bug in parsing group separators in channels.conf (thanks to Henning Holtschneider for reporting this one). - Changed the default 'Ok' key when using the PC keyboard from '5' (in the numeric block) to 'Enter', because the '5' key didn't work on keyboards with the F-keys on top. - Fixed a bug in the EPG bugfix mechanism if the extended description is shorter than 3 characters (thanks to Andreas Schultz). |

Version 1.0.0pre4
- Added 'Ca' code 201 for 'Cryptoworks, GOD-DIGITAL' to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Bernd Schweikert). - Fixed avoiding the primary DVB interface in case Setup.PrimaryLimit is 0. - Fixed handling CICAM settings if the first one of a DVB card was FTA. - Fixed reacting on changes in CICAM settings (needed to restart VDR before). - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu now works as "Stop" button if a recording is currently being replayed. - New command line option '-m' to mute audio of the primary DVB device at startup (suggested by Mirko Gnther). - The new SVDRP command VOLU can be used to control the audio volume (suggested by Mirko Gnther). - Fixed resetting 'mute' state when setting the volume to a non-zero value. - Added log messages when deleting recordings in case the disk runs full while recording. - Fixed closing a pipe (used for replaying Dolby Digital audio), which sometimes left 'zombie' processes behind (thanks to Werner Fink for helping to debug this one). - Now starting the Dolby Digital output thread only if the recording actually contains Dolby Digital audio data (thanks to Werner Fink). - Implemented OSD for Volume and Mute (works only if there is no other OSD activity, but this should be no problem for normal use). - Changed the MANUAL description of the "Conditional Access" setup parameters to reflect the actual "CICAM DVBn m" notation in the "Setup" menu. - The new Setup parameter "Use time from transponder" can be used to define which transponder shall be used to set the system time (see MANUAL for details). If you have been using the SetSystemTime option previously, you now MUST select a channel that you trust to have a reliable time base. - Grouped the Setup parameters into several sub-menus, so that each group of parameters fits on a single screen - unless the height of the OSD has been set to a small value (based on code from Markus Lang). - Changed the title of the "Main" menu to "VDR". - Fixed displaying a system message while the replay mode is being shown. - Physically removing a deleted recording if one with the same name shall be deleted again. - The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in text displays (like the EPG descriptions or the results of commands executed from the "Commands" menu). - Fixed high CPU usage in transfer mode. - Replaced 'killproc' with 'killall' in 'runvdr', since apparently 'killproc' is not available by default on some Linux distributions, whereas 'killall' is. Please check if your system provides 'killall' - if it doesn't, please change this back in 'runvdr' and report this (thanks to Achim Lange). - The "Commands" menu now automatically assigns number keys as hotkeys to the commands. If you have preceeded your commands with digits you may want to remove these from your 'commands.conf' file. - The new Setup item "Restart" can be used to force a complete restart of VDR, including reloading the driver. Note that this can only work if VDR and the driver are wrapped into a mechanism that actually performs this action if VDR exits. The 'runvdr' script can be used for this purpose. - Refined texts of the "Setup" menu. |

Version 1.0.0pre1
- Added scanning for EPG data for another 4 days on channels that support this (thanks to Oleg Assovski). - Removed '#define VFAT 1' from recording.c (was a leftover from testing). - Fixed the "Low disk space!" message (thanks to Sergei Haller). - Added the TPID to Hessen-3 in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Sergei Haller). - Fixed a crash when replaying with DEBUG_OSD=1 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Implemented the "First day" parameter for repeating timers. See FORMATS for information about the enhanced 'timers.conf' file format, and MANUAL for a description of the new item in the "Edit Timer" menu and the enhanced functionality of the "Blue" button in the "Timers" menu. - When deleting a recording that is currently still being recorded, the related timer will now automatically be terminated. If this is a repeating timer, it will receive a "First day" setting that skips the timer for this day. - Fixed closing all unused file descriptors when opening a pipe (thanks to Werner Fink). - Instant recordings now take the EPG data from the point in time at 5 minutes from the start time of the recording. In order for this to work the 'active' parameter of a timer now uses the second bit to indicate that this is an "instant" recording (see FORMATS for details). - Fixed the SVDRP GRAB command in case the video device can't be opened (thanks to Adrian Stabiszewski). - At startup the data written into 'epg.data' is now read into the EPG data structures. In order for this to work, the 'E' record has been extended to (optionally) contain the 'table ID' (see FORMATS for details). - The new SVDRP command PUTE can be used to put EPG data into the EPG list. See FORMATS for details about the required data format. - Taking the German umlauts 'as is' when compiled with VFAT. - The new Setup parameter RecordDolbyDigital can be used to generally turn off recording the Dolby Digital audio channels in case you want to save disk space or don't have the equipment to replay Dolby Digital audio. - Reading the 'setup.conf' file no longer terminates in case of an error, but rather attempts to read the rest of the file. - Removed DVD support from the core VDR source, since the current version from Andreas Schultz is already much further developed (DVD menu navigation) and the concept of "additional players" in VDR is going to change in version 1.1.0, where a new "plugin" interface shall allow the easy implementation of new players without having to patch the core VDR source. Until then, Andreas has agreed to provide his DVD support as a completely external patch. - The contents of the distribution archive now contains the directory name with the current version number, as in 'vdr-1.0.0pre1/...' in order to avoid inadvertently overwriting an existing VDR directory with a new version. - Added a missing error message in SVDRP command LSTC in case the given channel can't be found. |

Version 0.99
- Fixed a bug in moving timers or channels to the last position in the list (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for helping to debug this one). - Changed the estimated data rate for calculating the remaining disk capacity to 25.75 MB/min. - Only reporting the 'EPG bugfix statistics' if there really were any fixes. - Added Finnish language texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen). - Reverted to the previous way of searching for the EPG record of the current recording in case of a periodic timer (i.e. taking the one that is in the middle between start and end time). - Added a typedef for 'in_addr_t' to make it work with glibc < 2.2 (thanks to Jrgen Schmidt). - When the last entry in a "Recordings" menu page is deleted, that page is now automatically closed (suggested by Uwe Freese). - Changed the default name for instant recordings to "TITLE EPISODE" (avoiding the '-'). - If Setup.ShowInfoOnChSwitch is set to "no", the box for the EPG display is no longer shown (thanks to Andy Grobb). - If compiled with VFAT=1, characters that can't be handled by a VFAT system are now encoded to '#XX'. - When the user presses the "Power" button and there is a timer about to start recording within Setup.MinEventTimeout minutes, there is now a confirmation prompt telling the user that there is an upcoming timer event. - If a recording has no episode title, the trailing '~' is no longer shown in the progress display. |

Version 0.99pre5
- Updated channel settings for 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Gebel). - Fixed handling hierarchical recordings menu in case of directories starting with the same sequence of characters. - Fixed handling timers on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month in case the next month has less than 31 days. - Added a description of the sort order of individual episodes in the recordings menu to the MANUAL. - Removed the EPG bugfix for "Title / Subtitle" cleanup. Apparently Pro-7 has finally stopped this nasty habit. - Added some EPG bugfix statistics (printed to the log file every time the EPG data is cleaned up and when VDR is terminated). Maybe somebody in charge of the EPG data at the listed channels will read this and take the necessary actions to fix these things... - Changed the [dei]syslog macros in tools.h to use a variable number of args, thus making it safe to use them in nested 'if/else' statements. - Fixed error handling in establishing an SVDRP connection (thanks to Davide Achilli) for pointing this out). - The new configuration file 'svdrphosts.conf' is now used to define which hosts may access the SVDRP port (by default only 'localhost' has access). See FORMATS for details. - The special keywords TITLE and EPISODE can now be used in timer file names (see MANUAL and FORMATS for details). - The new setup parameter NameInstantRecord can be used to define how an instant recording will be named (see MANUAL for details). - When looking for the EPG record of the timer that starts a recording, now that record is taken which covers the time calculated as 'start + (Setup.MarginStart * 2) + 1)' in order to have a better chance of hitting the right record in case of an instant recording. Timers that start further in the future should always be programmed via the "Schedules" menu. - The special VPIDs '0' and '1' are now used to enable recording radio channels. Actually '0' should be enough, but '1' must be used with encrypted channels (driver bug?). Note, though, that since VDR is mainly a *video recorder*, some features like, e. g., the progress display, may not work as expected with radio recordings. Thanks to Michael Paar. - Fixed a problem with the ERR macro defined by ncurses.h (thanks to Artur Skawina). |

Version 0.99pre2
- Fixed setting the OSD size in the 'Confirm' interface call (thanks to
Deti Fliegl).
- Removed the 'read incomplete section...' error message in the EIT processor.
- Fixed channel data for "DW TV" (thanks to Axel Gruber).
- Added DPID to "PREMIERE MOVIE 1" in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Stephan
Schreiber).
- Prepared the OSD functions for multiple overlapping windows.
- Removed the check to see whether the system time is running linearly.
- Improved performance of SVDRP command entry.
- Removed EPGBugfixLevel '3' - after more than a year Pro-7 finally managed to
broadcast the correct timestamps for EPG events between 0:00 and 6:00!
- Fixed failing watchdog timer if program hangs in OSD activities (thanks to
Carsten Koch).
- No longer requiring 'libncurses' if compiling without DEBUG_OSD=1 and
REMOTE=KBD (thanks to Lauri Pesonen).
- The "Recordings" menu now displays a hierarchical structure if there are
subdirectories for the recordings. This can be controlled through the
"RecordingDirs" parameter in the "Setup" menu.
See "MANUAL/Replaying a Recording" for details.
- Improved speed of setting the Help button texts.
- Fixed handling file names that contain single quotes (') or dollar signs ($)
in the call to the shutdown command (option '-s') and the recording command
(option '-r').
- Improved error handling in the editing process; the resulting file will be
deleted if an error occured.
- A message is now prompted at the end of the editing process, indicating
whether the process succeeded or failed.
- Fixed setting the LastActivity timestamp after a shutdown prompt (thanks to
Sergei Haller).
- A message is now prompted if free disk space becomes low during recording.
- The editing process now calls AssertFreeDiskSpace() to remove deleted
recordings if the disk becomes full.
- The "Main" menu now displays in its title the used disk space (in percent)
and the estimated free disk space (in hh:mm), assuming a data rate of 30 MB
per minute.
- Activating the "Recordings" menu now displays "scanning recordings..." to
give the user some feedback in case this takes longer.
- Status messages are now displayed centered.
- Removed the 'Tools' subdirectory from the VDR archive. All contributed tools
can now be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools.

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 0.96
- Made VDR compile with libdvdread-0.9.1 (thanks to Andreas Schultz). Note that you now _need_ version 0.9.1 of libdvdread to compile VDR with DVD support! - Several fixes to the replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt): no more replay mode display when pressing the "Green" or "Yellow" button (Skip +/-60s); fixed timeout when pressing '0' to set an editing mark while the progress display is not shown; mode display is shown after progress display is closed; pressing "Ok" while the mode display is on brings up the progress display; no more unnecessary display of "normal play mode". - Supplying the new frontend parameter 'Inversion' (currently it is always set to INVERSION_AUTO, which should work with all channels on Astra). - Removing unnecessary double quotes from EPG Subtitle in EPGBugfixLevel >=1. - EPG info is now updated if the contents changes but the ID remains the same. - Fixed handling SVDRP commands whith more than one blank between the command word and the options. - The current volume setting is now saved to setup.conf and restored at the next program start. - New command line option '-r' to define a command that gets called before and after each recording (see INSTALL for details). - Implemented a check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Writing the current time (as seen by VDR) into the log file when starting a timer recording (this may help debugging cases where timers don't start at the expected time). - Made the volume, mute and power keys work when a menu is active, too (thanks to Matthias Weingart). |

Version 0.94
- Implemented automatic shutdown (see INSTALL and MANUAL for details). - New SVDRP command NEXT to show the next timer event. - The new remote control key "Power" can be used to turn the VDR machine off (this requires the presence of the '-s' option). - Fixed code for the default "Ok" button on the PC keyboard (was 0x162 on the "good old" keyboards (with the F-keys at the left side), while it changed to 0x15E on the newer keyboards). - When a recording is edited, the summary information (if present) is now also copied. - When a recording is running on the primary interface, any attempt to change the current channel will now lead to a "Channel locked" message. - The main program loop now first checks whether any timer recordings are finished, before starting a new timer recording. This is important in case one timer ends at the same time another timer starts. - New setup parameter OSDMessageTime to define how long an OSD message shall be displayed. - The "File" parameter of a timer can now contain the '~' character to store the recording in a hierarchical directory structure. The '~' character has been chosen since the file system's directory delimiter '/' may be part of a regular programme name (showing the directory hierarchy in the "Recordings" menu will follow later). - Repeating timers now create recordings that contain the 'Subtitle' information from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv stations that care about their viewers) this contains the episode title of a series. The subtitle is appended to the timer's file name, separated by a '~' character, so that it results in all recordings of this timer being collected in a common subdirectory. You can disable this with the 'UseSubtitle' parameter in the "Setup" menu. - The summary information is now taken from the EPG data at the actual time of recording (no longer at the time the timer is created in the "Schedule" menu). If a timer already has summary data, that data will be used. If you have repeating timers in your 'timers.conf', you may want to make sure they do NOT contain any summary information (that's the last field in the timer definitions). Use your favourite text editor to delete that information. That way every recording will store the actual summary data at the time of the recording. |

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). |
