Klaus Schmidinger	eb52e3004a	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).	2004-06-19 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	b81bf2d1c9	Version 1.3.9 ... - Completed Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - New iso8859-2 font to fix the problem with program freezes (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - Implemented a default cRemote::Initialize() that waits 10 seconds for a keypress in order to prevent a "hangup" in case, e.g., the LIRC driver is not loaded (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - cBitmap::DrawBitmap() now also resets the palette if the entire bitmap area is covered (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed setting the title in the replay display of the "Classic VDR" skin in case a shorter title is set after a longer one (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now using more separate areas in the "ST:TNG Panels" skin to allow a theme to use more independent clrMenu* colors. - Fixed removing the "scanning recordings..." message in case the video directory is empty (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Added SetMessage() functions to the Replay and Channel skin functions. Plugins that implement skins will need to implement these functions. This fixes a missing "Editing process finished" message (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed the height of the channel display in the "Classic VDR" skin. - Fixed handling descriptor loops in 'libsi', which had sometimes caused invalid CA ids to be added to the channel definitions (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one, and Marcel Wiesweg for fixing it). - Fixed handling colors in cDvbSpuPalette::yuv2rgb() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made some functions of cFont virtual to allow implementing dummy fonts for the 'curses' skin. - The new plugin 'skincurses' re-implements the functionality that was previously available by compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD. Some things may not yet work as they should, but it's a starting point.	2004-05-31 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	c80a53ff6e	Version 1.3.7 ... - Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess). - Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6. - Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6). - Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig). - Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them available for plugins. - The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts. - The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of the small font (see MANUAL for details). - Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd. Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements. - Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the driver, together with the endian problem). - The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left corner of the OSD. - The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters). When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically. - The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD display on arbitrary hardware. - The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how to use these. - Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this functionality later. - The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc], VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin". - The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Theme". - Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font, because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9 and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's going wrong here... - Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).	2004-05-16 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	d08073815d	Version 1.1.11 ... - Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks to Jeremy Hall). - Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it: ------------------------------------------------------- --- Makefile 2002/06/10 16:24:06 1.4 +++ Makefile 2002/09/17 15:36:36 1.5 @@ -15,7 +15,12 @@ ### The directory environment: +ifdef NEWSTRUCT +DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/include +DEFINES += -DNEWSTRUCT +else DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/ost/include +endif VDRDIR = ../../..

The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls. - The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys. This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control, without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR. When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in the file 'remote.conf'. Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in the process... - While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu' key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular RC unit. - Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary device during EPG scan.	2002-09-29 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	523c4a07aa	Version 1.1.9 ... - Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation. If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary. - Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented. - cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here. - Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle multiple recordings. - Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived cDevice classes. - Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices receiving multiple channels. - Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are recording and these channels are on different transponders). - Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).	2002-09-08 18:00:00 +02:00
