Klaus Schmidinger	a26aae3ce8	Version 2.3.1 ... VDR developer version 2.3.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.3.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.2.0-2.3.1.diff MD5 checksums: 391c2ed60e2f7d24563fe3ed5854bc4f vdr-2.3.1.tar.bz2 983fd4bad7d19cd98301d54173107129 vdr-2.2.0-2.3.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. *** PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN USING THIS DEVELOPER VERSION, ESPECIALLY *** IF YOU ENABLE THE NEW SVDRP PEERING! KEEP BACKUPS OF ALL YOUR TIMERS *** AND OBSERVE VERY CLOSELY WHETHER EVERYTHING WORKS AS EXPECTED. THIS *** VERSION INTRODUCES SOME MAJOR CHANGES IN HANDLING GLOBAL LISTS AND *** LOCKING, SO ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! The main focus of this developer version is on the new locking mechanism for global lists, and the ability to handle remote timers. Any plugins that access the global lists of timers, channels, schedules or recordings, will need to be adjusted (see below for details). Please do initial tests with plain vanilla VDR and just the output plugin you need. Known bugs/problems: - After deleting the last recording in a sub folder, the cursor may not be positioned correctly. - Instant recordings and pausing live video don't (yet) use the default SVDRP host for recording. From the HISTORY file: - The new function cOsd::MaxPixmapSize() can be called to determine the maximum size a cPixmap may have on the current OSD. The 'osddemo' example has been modified accordingly. Plugin authors may want to use this function in case they use pixmaps that are larger than the full OSD size. The default implementation sets this limit to 2048x2048 pixel. - The Setup/CAM menu now displays which device an individual CAM is currently assigned to (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Added detection of 24fps (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Added a note about the VDR User Counter and VDR's facebook page to the README file. - The dvbhddevice plugin is no longer part of the VDR source archive. You can get the latest version of this plugin from the author's repository at https://bitbucket.org/powARman/dvbhddevice. - The dvbsddevice and rcu plugins are no longer part of the VDR source archive. You can get the latest versions of these plugins from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Plugins. - Added a section about Output Devices to the INSTALL file. - Fixed setting the source value of newly created channels, in case the NIT is received from a different, but very close satellite position (reported by Daniel Ribeiro). The code for handling different NITs has been removed from nit.c, because according to the DVB standard table id 0x40 carries only the NIT of the actual network. - Added some comment to cPixmap about the relation between OSD, ViewPort and DrawPort (suggested by Thomas Reufer). - Improved syncing on sections when parsing the NIT and SDT. - Fixed scaling subtitles (their areas could sometimes extend outside the actual OSD). - Reduced the priority of the "video directory scanner" thread (suggested by Thomas Reufer) and checking cIoThrottle::Engaged() when it is running. - The script that gets called for recordings is now also called right before a recording is edited, with the first parameter being "editing" (suggested by Dieter Ferdinand). - The new setup option "OSD/Default sort mode for recordings" can be used to define how recordings shall be sorted by default (either by time or by name, with "by time" being the default). If a particular sort mode has been selected for a folder by pressing '0', the default no longer applies to that folder. Repeating timers no longer write a ".sort" file into a recordings folder to have the recordings sorted by time. - The command line option -D now accepts the value '-' (as in -D-), which prevents VDR from using any DVB devices (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - The -V and -h options now list the plugins in alphabetical order (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - Fixed a compiler warning in font.c. - Commented out the line #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM in device.h. If a plugin doesn't compile with this version of VDR, you can uncomment this line as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted. - The function cOsd::GetBitmap() is now 'protected'. If a plugin doesn't compile with this version of VDR, you can uncomment the line //#define DEPRECATED_GETBITMAP in osd.h as a quick workaround. In the long run the plugin will need to be adapted. - The -u option now also accepts a numerical user id (suggested by Derek Kelly). - The SVDRP port now accepts multiple concurrent connections. You can now keep an SVDRP connection open as long as you wish, without preventing others from connecting. Note, though, that SVDRP connections still get closed automatically if there has been no activity for 300 seconds (configurable via "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP timeout (s)"). - The SVDRP log messages have been unified and now always contain the IP and port number of the remote host. - SVDRP connections are now handled in a separate "SVDRP server handler" thread, which makes them more responsive. Note that there is only one thread that handles all concurrent SVDRP connections. That way each SVDRP command is guaranteed to be processed separately, without interfering with any other SVDRP commands that might be issued at the same time. Plugins that implement SVDRP commands may need to take care of proper locking if the commands access global data. - VDR now sends out a broadcast to port 6419/udp, which was assigned to 'svdrp-disc' by the IANA. VDRs listening on that port will automatically initiate an SVDRP connection to the broadcasting VDR, and in turn send out a broadcast to make other VDRs connect to them. That way all VDRs within the local network will have permanent "peer-to-peer" SVDRP connections between each other. The configuration in the svdrphosts.conf file is taken into account when considering whether or not to respond to an SVDRP discover broadcast. - The new SVDRP command PING is used by automatically established peer-to-peer connections to keep them alive. - The new function GetSVDRPServerNames() can be used to get a list of all VDRs this VDR is connected to via SVDRP. - The new function ExecSVDRPCommand() can be used to execute an SVDRP command on one of the servers this VDR is connected to, and retrieve the result. The helper functions SVDRPCode() and SVDRPValue() can be used to easily access the codes and values returned by ExecSVDRPCommand(). - The cTimer class now has a new member named 'remote', which holds the name of the remote server this timer will record on. If this is NULL, it is a local timer. - Timers from other VDRs that are connected to this VDR via SVDRP are now automatically fetched and stored in the global Timers list. In order for this to work, all of the channels used by timers on the remote VDR must also be defined on the local VDR (however, not necessarily in the same sequence). Automatic channel syncing will be implemented later. - The main menu of the LCARS skin now displays a small rectangle on the left side of a timer if this is a remote timer. The color of that rectangle changes if the timer is currently recording on the remote VDR. - Accessing the global Timers list now has to be protected by proper locking, because SVDRP commands are now executed in a separate thread. The introduction of this locking mechanism required the following changes: + The new classes cStateLock and cStateKey are used to implement locking with quick detection of state changes. + cConfig::cConfig() now has a parameter that indicates whether this list requires locking. + The global lists of Timers, Channels, Schedules and Recordings are no longer static variables. They are now pointers that need to be retrieved through a call to cTimers::GetTimersRead/Write(), cChannels::GetChannelsRead/Write(), cSchedules::GetSchedulesRead/Write() and cRecordings::GetRecordingsRead/Write(), respectively. + References from/to link channels are now removed in cChannels::Del() rather than cChannel::~cChannel(), to make sure the caller holds a proper lock. + cChannel::HasTimer() has been removed. This information is now retrieved via cSchedule::HasTimer(). + Several member functions of cChannel, cTimer, cMarks and cRecording have been made 'const', and some of them are now available as both 'const' and 'non-const' versions. + The cChannel::Set...() functions are now 'bool' and return true if they have actually changed any of the channels's members. + cChannels::SetModified() has been renamed to cChannels::SetModifiedByUser(). + cChannels::Modified() has been renamed to cChannels::ModifiedByUser(), and now has a 'State' parameter that allows the caller to see whether a channel has been modified since the last call to this function with the same State variable. + The macros CHANNELSMOD_NONE/_AUTO/_USER have been removed. + cMarks now requires locking via cStateKey. + cSortedTimers now requires a pointer to the list of timers. + cEvent::HasTimer() no longer scans the list of timers to check whether an event is referenced by a timer, but rather keeps score of how many timers reference it. This was necessary in order to avoid having to lock the list of timers from within a cEvent. + The new class cListGarbageCollector is used to temporary store any objects deleted from cLists that require locking. This allows pointers to such objects to be dereferenced even if the objects are no longer part of the list. + cListBase::Contains() can be used to check whether a particular object is still contained in that list. + Outdated events are no longer "phased out", but rather deleted right away and thus taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list. + Deleted cRecording objects are no longer kept in a list of "vanished" recordings, but are rather taken care of by the new "garbage collector" of the list. + cSchedules::ClearAll() has been removed. The functionality is now implemented directly in cSVDRPServer::CmdCLRE(). + tEventID has been changed to u_int16_t in order to make room for the new member numTimers in cEvent. + cSchedule now has a member Modified(), which can be used with a State variable to quickly determine whether this schedule has been modified since the last call to this function with the same State variable. + cSchedulesLock has been removed. Locking the list of schedules is now done via the cList's new locking mechanism. + The 'OnlyRunningStatus' parameters in cEpgHandler::BeginSegmentTransfer() and cEpgHandler::EndSegmentTransfer() are now obsolete. They are still present in the interface for backward compatibility, but may be removed in a future version. Their value is always 'false'. + The constant tcMod is no longer used in cStatus::TimerChange(). The definition is still there for backward compatibility. Plugins that access the global lists of Timers, Channels, Recordings or Schedules will need to be adapted as follows: + Instead of directly accessing the global variables Timers, Channels or Recordings, they need to set up a cStateKey variable and call the proper getter function, as in cStateKey StateKey; if (const cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersRead(StateKey)) { // access the timers StateKey.Remove(); } and cStateKey StateKey; if (cTimers *Timers = cTimers::GetTimersWrite(StateKey)) { // access the timers StateKey.Remove(); } See timers.h, thread.h and tools.h for details on this new locking mechanism. + There are convenience macros for easily accessing these lists without having to explicitly set up a cStateKey and calling its Remove() function. These macros have the form LOCK_*_READ/WRITE (with '*' being TIMERS, CHANNELS, SCHEDULES or RECORDINGS). Simply put such a macro before the point where you need to access the respective list, and there will be a pointer named Timers, Channels, Schedules or Recordings, respectively, which is valid until the end of the current block. + If a plugin needs to access several of the global lists in parallel, locking must always be done in the sequence Timers, Channels, Recordings, Schedules. This is necessary to make sure that different threads that need to lock several lists at the same time don't end up in a deadlock. + Some pointer variables may need to be made 'const'. The compiler will tell you about these. - cSectionSyncer has been improved to better handle missed sections. - Added a missing initialization of 'seen' in cChannel's copy constructor. - Background modifications of channels, timers and events are now displayed immediately in the corresponding menus. - cEIT now checks the version of the tables before doing any processing, which saves a lot of locking and processing. - If a timer is newly created with the Red button in the Schedule menu, and the timer is presented to the user in the "Edit timer" menu because it will start immediately, it now *must* be confirmed with "Ok" to set the timer. Otherwise the timer will not be created. - Recordings and deleted recordings are now scanned in a single thread. - The new SVDRP command POLL is used by automatically established peer-to-peer connections to trigger fetching remote timers. - You can now set DumpSVDRPDataTransfer in svdrp.c to true to have all SVDRP communication printed to the console for debugging. - Added a missing 'const' to cReceiver::Receive(), to protect the given Data from being modified. - The SVDRP commands that deal with timers (DELT, LSTT, MODT, NEWT, NEXT and UPDT) as well as any log messages that refer to timers, now use a unique id for each timer, which remains valid as long as this instance of VDR is running. This means that timers are no longer continuously numbered from 1 to N in LSTT. There may be gaps in the sequence, in case timers have been deleted. - The Timers menu now displays the name of the remote VDR in front of the timer's file name, if this is a remote timer. - The new options "Setup/Miscellaneous/SVDRP peering", ".../SVDRP host name" and ".../SVDRP default host" can be used to configure automatic peering between VDRs in the same network. Peering is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting "SVDRP peering" to "yes". - The function cTimer::ToText() no longer returns a newline character at the end of the string. The newline is now added by the caller as necessary. This was changed because cTimer::ToText() is now also needed in a context where the terminating newline can't be used. Consequently, cChannel::ToText() and cMark::ToText() have been modified accordingly. - All timer related response strings from SVDRP commands now use the channel ID instead of channel numbers. - The "Edit timer" menu now has a new parameter "Record on", which can be used to select the VDR on which this timer shall record. Timers can be freely moved between connected VDRs by simply selecting the desired machine in this field. - The SVDRP command DELT no longer checks whether the timer that shall be deleted is currently recording. - The character 0x0D is now stripped from EPG texts (reported by Janne Pänkälä). - The EPG scanner no longer moves the dish if there is a positioner. - The 'newplugin' script now creates the 'po' subdirectory for translations (thanks to Thomas Reufer). - Skins can now implement cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuOrientation() to display horizontal menus (thanks to Stefan Braun). - Fixed a possible stack overflow in cListBase::Sort() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Changed the description of the --chartab option in the INSTALL file to refer to "DVB SI table strings" instead of "EPG data". - The width and height of the OSD are now limited to the actual maximum dimensions of the output device, taking into account the top and left offset. - The new setup option "Recording/Record key handling" can be used to define what happens if the Record key on the remote control is pressed during live tv (suggested by Dietmar Spingler). - Empty adaptation field TS packets are now skipped when recording (thanks to Christopher Reimer, based on the "AFFcleaner" by Stefan Pöschel).	2015-09-18 00:04:12 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	5076cfb2ed	Version 2.1.1 ... VDR developer version 2.1.1 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff MD5 checksums: b17f9838bb8ddee9620f838fea7a171d vdr-2.1.1.tar.bz2 8b8ca593885c380cd370e6d19a5b16a1 vdr-2.0.0-2.1.1.diff WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on adding basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes. Manually controlling the dish position and storing individual positions will follow later. The fixes contained in this version will be released in a stable version 2.0.3 later, if there are no problems. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed initializing cDevice::keepTracks. - Fixed an endless loop in cTextWrapper::Set() in case the given Width is smaller than one character (reported by Stefan Braun). - Removed all "modified since version 1.6" markers from PLUGINS.html. - Added definitions for older DVB API versions, back until 5.0 (based on a patch from Udo Richter). - Changed cThread::SetIOPriority() from "best effort class" to "idle class" in order to improve overall performance when an editing process is running (thanks to Jochen Dolze). - Fixed handling '/' and '~' in recording file names in case DirectoryEncoding is used (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Changed the sign of the satellite position value in cSource to reflect the standard of western values being negative. The new member function cSource::Position() can be used to retrieve the orbital position of a satellite. - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (was broken by "Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric characters" in version 1.7.36). - Fixed displaying the frame number when setting an editing mark (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results in just one single sequence (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed an error message when parsing SCR values in diseqc.conf. - Fixed an unexpected RCS version tag in the newplugin script. - Fixed an endless loop in the DrawEllipse() functions for very small ellipses (reported by Stefan Braun). - Fixed a crash in the LCARS skin's main menu in case there is no current channel (reported by Dominique Dumont). - Added basic support for positioners to control steerable satellite dishes (based on a patch from Seppo Ingalsuo and Ales Jurik). + Supports GotoN (aka "DiSEqC 1.2") and GotoX (aka "USALS"). + The new DiSEqC command code 'P' can be used to instruct a positioner to move the dish to the required satellite position. When a 'P' code is processed, further execution of the remaining DiSEqC sequence (if any) is postponed until the positioner has reached the new satellite position. + The new special source value of "S360E" can be used in diseqc.conf to indicate that an entry using a positioner can move the dish to any requested position within its range. Think of it as "full circle". + The devices a particular cDiseqc or cScr applies to are now stored directly in each cDiseqc or cScr, respectively. + A plugin can implement a custom positioner control (see PLUGINS.html, section "Positioners"). + The new function cSkinDisplayChannel::SetPositioner() can be implemented by skins to show the user a progress display when the dish is being moved. The default implementation calls SetMessage() with a string indicating the new position the dish is being moved to. The LCARS skin shows a progress bar indicating the movement of the dish. + The new parameters "Site latitude", "Site longitude", "Positioner speed", and "Positioner swing" in the "Setup/LNB" menu can be used to configure the necessary values for a steerable dish. + The cDvbTuner now has a new status tsPositioning, in which it waits until a steerable dish has reached its target position. Parsing SI data is paused until the target position has been reached. - The LCARS skin now shows the source value of the current channel in its channel display. - Fixed asserting free disk space in the cutter. - No longer trying to delete old recordings in AssertFreeDiskSpace() if the given Priority is less than 1. - Fixed handling LIRC events in case repeated events are lost. - Fixed a possible crash when shutting down VDR while subtitles are being displayed (reported by Ville Skyttä). - cDevice::IsPrimaryDevice() now also checks whether the primary device actually has a decoder and returns false otherwise. This should improve device allocation on systems that are only used as a receiver and don't actually display anything. - Increased the value of MAXRETRIES to 20 to reduce the probability of disturbances in transfer mode. - All bonded devices (except for the master) now turn off their LNB power completely to avoid problems when receiving vertically polarized transponders (suggested by Manfred Völkel and Oliver Endriss). - Reverted the change from version 1.5.7 that made all logging go to LOG_ERR (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Added Begin/EndSegmentTransfer() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Jörg Wendel). - The code for distributing recordings over several video directories is now deprecated and disabled by default. You can re-enable this feature by removing the comment sign ('//') from the beginning of the line //#define DEPRECATED_DISTRIBUTED_VIDEODIR // Code enclosed with this macro is ... in the file videodir.c. Note, though, that this can only be a temporary workaround. This feature will be completely removed in one of the next developer versions. Distributing the video directory over several disks was a useful feature in times when disks were still relatively small, but it also caused serious problems in case one of the disks failed. Nowadays hard disks come in sizes measured in terabytes, and tools like "mhddfs" can be used to combine several disks to form one large volume. A recommended method for a relatively safe disk setup in a VDR system is to use two 1TB (or larger) disks and use them as a RAID-1 (mirrored). That way, if one disk fails, you can replace it without data loss.	2013-08-25 18:40:45 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	beffcabc81	Version 1.7.32 ... VDR developer version 1.7.32 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.31-1.7.32.diff MD5 checksums: 068ba78fd427694dcc480fe3b2d07148 vdr-1.7.32.tar.bz2 222f1e9b4d4edaa6fe57286409614cc7 vdr-1.7.31-1.7.32.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The main focus of this version is on an improved frame detection code, and improvements to the cutting process. When cutting a recording, VDR now removes any "dangling" TS packets from the beginning of an editing sequence and pulls in any "pending" TS packets at the end of a sequence. It also fixes all timestamps and continuity counters. However, while the results look much better now in, for instance, Kaffeine, the TT S2-6400 still shows some video artifacts at the editing points, and the Mac video player sometimes totally chokes on edited material. I did spend a lot of time trying to find out what could still be wrong here, but couldn't come up with any new ideas. So I think it's now time to invite others to test this new cutting code, read the source code and try to find out what's still going wrong here. Maybe (hopefully ;-) it's just some stupid little error... ;-) From the HISTORY file: - Pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode now opens the Recordings menu if there is no "last viewed" recording (thanks to Alexander Wenzel). The same behavior has been implemented for the Blue key in the main menu. - cIoThrottle::Engaged() is now also checked in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action(), to suspend removing deleted recordings in case this is necessary to make room for new, ongoing recordings (suggested by Udo Richter). - The cThread constructor now has an additional boolean parameter that can be set to true to have this thread run at a lower priority. Plugin authors that use low priority threads may want to use this instead of the calls to SetPriority(19) and SetIOPriority(7). The priority of a thread ("low" or "high") is now logged when the thread starts. - Changed DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_STREAM_ID in dvbdevice.c to adapt to an incompatible change in DVB API 5.8 (reported by Derek Kelly). Removed the meanwhile obsolete definition of FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC. - Fixed some compiler warnings under gcc version 4.7.1. - Fixed setting the video format in the dvbhdffdevice (thanks to Torsten Lang). - Fixed 'make install' to not overwrite existing configuration files (thanks to Peter Münster). - Added including the Make.global and Make.config files to the dvbdhffdevice's libhdffcmd/Makefile. - Added options to build a 32-bit version of VDR on a 64-bit machine to Make.config.template. - Fixed handling VPS timers in case the running status of an event goes to '1' (not running) and later goes to '4' (running). - If a frame position in the 'marks' file of a recording doesn't point to an I-frame, it will now be shifted towards the next I-frame, either up or down, whichever is closer (suggested by Udo Richter). - Fixed a possible memory leak in SI::StructureLoop::getNextAsPointer() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Fixed handling timers in case an event is modified and "phased out" while the timer is recording. - Improved frame detection by parsing just far enough into the MPEG-4 NAL units to get the necessary information about frames and slices. - The initial syncing of the frame detector is now done immediately after the first complete GOP has been seen. This makes recordings and especially pausing live video start up to twice as fast as before. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Fixed handling the very last entry in a recording index. - The return type of cMarks::Add() has been changed to void, since due to the sorting of the list of marks the returned pointer might have pointed to a totally different mark. Besides, the return value was never actually used. - Improved editing TS recordings by + stripping dangling TS packets from the beginning of a sequence + including pending TS packets at the end of a sequence + fixing all timestamps and continuity counters + generating editing marks for the edited version in such a way that each cutting point is marked by an "end" and "begin" mark with the same offset + no longer generating an editing mark at the "end" of the edited recording (this was actually generated at the beginning of the last GOP, so that a subsequent edit would have cut off the last GOP) + no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results on just one single sequence + ignoring pairs of editing marks that are placed at exactly the same position of a recording when actually cutting the recording + not doing anything if the editing marks in place would result in the edited version being the same as the original recording - Editing marks can now be placed directly on top of each other, in which case they simply mark a position, but have no effect on the actual cutting process. - When positioned at an offset where two (or more) editing marks are placed on top of each other, the '4' key moves the first one of them to the left, while the '6' key moves the last one of them to the right. The '7' and '9' key handle multiple marks at the same place as if it were one single mark. - Modified editing marks are now written to disk whenever the replay progress display gets hidden (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).	2012-11-19 00:55:28 +01:00
Klaus Schmidinger	771986b89f	Version 1.7.0 ... - Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to the previous version of VDR! - Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).	2008-04-13 18:00:00 +02:00
Klaus Schmidinger	4c65b525dc	Version 1.5.7 ... - All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in the past. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder). - Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to the gettext format will only present English texts. See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how to make strings in arrays translatable. See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing translations. - The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name to the code. - The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section for i18n support. - The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the locale as defined in the system environment is used by default. - The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated, so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. - Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas Mair). - Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).	2007-08-12 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
