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.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed displaying DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for helping to debug and
understand subtitle page refreshes):
+ Fixed handling DVB subtitle fill region codes for 2 and 8 bpp.
+ Fixed handling pages without an explicit END_OF_DISPLAY_SET_SEGMENT.
The FINISHPAGE_HACK is no longer necessary.
+ Fixed handling "page refreshes". The data is now parsed and stored closer to the
DVB standard specs, introducing "object refs" and "region refs".
+ The debug output now goes into an HTML file named dbg-log.htm and shows the actual
bitmaps (dbg-nnn.jpg) used to display the subtitles. That way it is much easier to
see what's actually going on.
+ Fixed handling subtitles encoded as a string of characters (the very first
character was always skipped).
- Fixed wrong initialization of Setup.PositionerSwing (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed cleaning up old EPG events in case no epg data file is given (reported by
Dave Pickles).
- Unified the internal sequence of actions when pressing the Blue and the Back key,
respectively, during replay (reported by Thomas Maass).
- The Yellow button in the main menu no longer acts as "Pause" if "Pause key handling"
is set to "do not pause live video" (suggested by Ulf Kiener).
- The code for distributing recordings over several video directories has been
removed. VDR now by default assumes that the video directory is one big disk.
If you absolutely need to use several separate disks to store recordings, you can
write a plugin that uses the new cVideoDirectory API to implement the necessary
functionality (see PLUGINS.html, section "The video directory"). You can copy the
respective code from previous versions of videodir.c.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you write a plugin that implements a distributed video directory,
=============== be sure to make cVideoDirectory::Rename() follow symbolic links!
This functionality was never implemented in VDR and it therefore
used a workaround in cutter.c. See the section marked with
// XXX this can be removed once RenameVideoFile() follows symlinks
in previous versions of cutter.c.
+ CloseVideoFile() is obsolete and has been removed.
+ The functions OpenVideoFile(), RenameVideoFile(), RemoveVideoFile(), VideoFileSpaceAvailable(),
VideoDiskSpace(), RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories(), IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem() and
PrefixVideoFileName() are now static members of cVideoDirectory and need to be called
with the proper prefix.
+ The name of the video directory is now available through cVideoDirectory::Name().
- Added renaming and moving recordings and folders, editing a recording's priority and
lifetime, and queueing cutting jobs (inspired by the "extrecmenu" plugin from Martin
Prochnow).
+ The "Recording info" menu now has a new Blue button named "Edit", which opens a
dialog in which several properties of the selected recording can be changed. It can
be renamed or moved into another folder and its priority and lifetime can be
modified (inspired by the "extrecmenu" plugin from Martin Prochnow).
The new blue "Edit" button in the "Recordings" menu opens a dialog in which a folder
can be renamed or moved. See MANUAL, section "Managing folders".
+ In the "Edit recording" menu the Yellow button ("Delete marks") allows you to delete
all editing marks of the selected recording.
+ cCutter is no longer a static class. Cutting requests should now be invoked by
calling RecordingsHandler.Add(ruCut, FileName). See the new cRecordingsHandler
class in recording.h.
+ Cutting jobs are now placed in a queue (together with any move or copy jobs) and
are processed one by one.
+ The new SVDRP command RENR can be used to rename a recording (suggested by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
+ Note that in several places in the source code a "copy" operation is mentioned,
however there is no user interface for this, yet.
- Changed some variable names in positioner.c to match the names used in the page with
the explanation on vdr-portal.de.
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed writing group separators to channels.conf that contain a comma (reported by
Eike Edener).
- Now also checking the source (in addition to the transponder) when setting the
system time from the TDT, which avoids problems in case devices are tuned to the
same transponder on different sources, and these broadcast different time data
(reported by Torsten Lang).
- Changed cRecorder::Action() to use cTimeMs instead of time() to avoid problems with
unjustified "video data stream broken" errors in case the system time is changed
while a recording is active (reported by Torsten Lang).
- Revised the section on "Learning the remote control keys" in the INSTALL file to
avoid the impression that there actually is a default remote.conf file, and to
not use any alphabetic keys for special functions, so that they remain available
for textual input.
- The function cRecordings::MBperMinute() now only takes into account recordings with
less than 5 seconds per megabyte, in an attempt to filter out radio recordings
(thanks to Harald Koenig). The result of this function was way off any realistic
value in case there are many radio recordings in the video directory.
- Added maximum signal strength value for TechniSat SkyStar 2 DVB-S rev 2.3P (thanks
to Guido Cordaro).
- Fixed an inconsistent behavior between opening the Recordings menu manually via the
main menu and by pressing the Recordings key. In the latter case it automatically
opened all sub folders to position the cursor to the last replayed recording, which
is unexpected at this point (reported by Helmut Auer). You can still navigate to
the last replayed recording (if any) by pressing Ok repeatedly in the Recordings
menu.

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.

Approaching version 2.0.0:
==========================
If all goes well, there will be just one more developer version after
this one, and then it's going to be version 2.0.0.
From the HISTORY file:
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko).
- Modified handling user inactivity in the shutdown handler to avoid a problem in case
the system time is changed after VDR has been started (thanks to Udo Richter, reported
by Sören Moch).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik).
- Changed the template for PLGCFG to $(CONFDIR)/plugins.mk (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall).
- Now clearing device bondings for devices that don't provide DVB-S in the Setup/LNB
menu (reported by Juergen Lock).
- Fixed a possible deadlock in handling the tuners of bonded devices (thanks to
Juergen Lock).
- Improved working around the broken driver values for SNR in case of a "TT-budget
S2-3200" receiving DVB-S2.
- The demos in the "osddemo" plugin can now also be ended with the "Back" key.
- Fixed flashing OSD in "high level OSD" mode of the TT S2-6400 in case a menu is open
while subtitles are being displayed.
- Fixed stuttering or asynchronous audio after changing the audio track. This is done
by doing a "jump" to the current position, which clears all buffers. However, this
only works with TS recordings. With PES recordings it causes a segfault - haven't
been able to figure out why.
- Added a manual page for 'svdrpsend' (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed immediately disappearing subtitle track menu in "high level OSD" mode of the
TT S2-6400 when selecting "No subtitles".
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bernard Jaulin).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse).
- Removed all "fuzzy" translations from the files ar.po, hu_HU.po and sr_SR.po, because
more often than not they are just wrong.
- Now calling DeviceClear() in cTransfer::Receive() if the output device blocks, instead
of not retrying for 10 seconds (reported by Andreas Mair, with help from Oliver Endriss).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Changed the calls to Skins.QueueMessage() in vdr.c that are related to reporting the
status of the editing process back to Skins.Message() in order to have them appear
immediately.
- When sorting recordings by name, folders are now always at the top of the list.
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).

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). |

Version 1.5.16
- Fixed setting the current subtitle track in Transfer-Mode (reported by Petri Helin,
thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing out that cDevice::Transferring() doesn't
return the right value in the early stage of channel switching).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse).
- Fixed various spelling errors and improved PLUGINS.html (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed the format in cRemote::Put() to use "%016llX" instead of "%016LX" (thanks
to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out).
- Revised the fix of calculating the scrollbar height in the skins. The scrollbar
handle now always has a height that is at least the width of the scrollbar.
- When switching the device that's used for live viewing away from the current
transponder in favor of an upcoming recording, an attempt is now made to stay
on the current channel by possibly going into 'Transfer Mode'.
- The CAM menu now stays open as long as it is automatically updated, even without
pressing a remote control key. This is important when updating the CAM firmware
from the transponder.
- No longer trying to switch to an available channel if the primary device has
no valid programme and a menu is open (avoids interference with the CAM in
case a CAM menu is open).
- Increased the valid range of the "Subtitle offset" setup option to -100...100
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added the backslash ('\') to the list of characters that need to be escaped
when executing external commands (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one).

Version 1.5.13
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason. - The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay. - cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear(). - Added cString::Truncate(). - Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the initial *.pot file. - Fixed handling the '-l' option. - Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8 (reported by Jiri Dobry). - The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer. See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details. - The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter). - Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel). - Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess). |

Version 1.5.11
- Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä); - Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter). - Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter). - Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering strings (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets". - Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active. - Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode. - Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi). - Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target of their Makefiles. - Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer). |

Version 1.5.1
- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin). - Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache). - Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich). - Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter). - Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter). - The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter). - cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit(). - Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes" text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file. - Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a discussion with Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key. |
