- Fixed handling language codes in case there is no audio or Dolby PID. - Fixed handling CA ids (was broken in 1.3.3). - Fixed the SVDRP command 'STAT DISK' to avoid a 'division by 0' in case the disk is full (thanks to Jens Rosenboom). - Fixed handling bitmap indexes for 256 color mode (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Now handling "linked services" (based on the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). Linked channels are detected and added to 'channels.conf', but currently they are not yet presented to the user other than being in the normal channel list (this will come later). - Preliminary fix for the "Unknown picture type error" (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for his support in debugging this one). This may slow down switching between channels on different transponders for now, but a better solution will come later. - Fixed the validity check for channel IDs, because some providers use TIDs with value 0 (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Enabled switching to a channel even if it has no Vpid or Apid set, because these might be automatically set when tuned to that transponder. - No longer closing the Channels menu after trying to switch to a channel that is currently not available. - Removed the now obsolete CaCaps stuff. The Setup/CICAM menu now displays the actual CAM type as reported by the CAM. The 'ca.conf' file has been stripped down to the values 0..4.

Version 1.3.0 marks the beginning of a new developer version
|
|
of VDR, in which I am going to integrate functionality from
|
|
patches that have been written by various people for previous
|
|
versions of VDR.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning with version 1.3.0, VDR will automatically
|
|
=============== modify the 'channels.conf' file. Please run this version
|
|
of VDR in a controlled environment only, and work with
|
|
copies of all your config files!
|
|
|
|
This version of VDR focuses on some improvements regarding
|
|
CAM support and, most important, the first step towards automatic
|
|
PID handling. Some things are still in a raw state, but at least
|
|
the program should now dynamically react on any changes in the
|
|
channel settings.
|
|
|
|
Here's a list of the highlights - and what _not_ to expect yet
|
|
(but don't worry, these things will come soon ;-):
|
|
|
|
- Automatic switching when PIDs are changed (e.g. for regional
|
|
programmes).
|
|
- There is no explicit transponder list yet, so you just
|
|
have to define one channel for a new transponder and VDR
|
|
will automatically detect all other channels on that transponder.
|
|
- New channels are added to the end of the channel list, so
|
|
it might be a good idea to add a line like
|
|
|
|
:@1000 New channels
|
|
|
|
to have them start at some high number.
|
|
- Improved CAM support. Channels with conditional access now automatically
|
|
use the device that contains the proper CAM.
|
|
- No NVOD support yet.
|
|
|
|
Note that this is currently work in progress, so there may be some
|
|
areas that don't work as smooth as expected, yet.
|
|
|
|
Known issues:
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
- The Setup/CICAM menu is currently without much meaning.
|
|
CA detection is done automatically.
|
|
- The channel "EURO1080" on Astra 19.2E currently broadcasts HDTV
|
|
test signals. Unfortunately, the full featured DVB cards crash
|
|
pretty ugly when tuned to that channel, so it might be a good idea
|
|
to have the channel definition
|
|
|
|
EURO1080:12168:v:S19.2E:27500:308:256:0:FF:21100:1:1088:0
|
|
|
|
in your 'channels.conf' file. Note the Ca parameter 'FF' (255 in hex),
|
|
which gives this channel a non-existent Ca mode, so that it won't
|
|
be tuned to at all. If you really want to tune to this channel for
|
|
tests, do it on your own risk.
|
|
- The 'sky' plugin now temporarily uses Ca value 30 (this will be changed
|
|
later).
|
|
- Since the CA detection is now done automatically, a timer that starts
|
|
immediately after VDR has been launched and wants to record a CA channel
|
|
may not work. This will be changed later to make this work safely.
|
|
|
|
What to test:
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Apart from the usual general functionality, special attention should
|
|
be given to the following matters:
|
|
|
|
- Does the automatic PID switching really work in all cases, especially
|
|
in conjunction with conditional access channels?
|
|
- Does CAM support work for all kinds of CAMs?
|
|
|
|
Known bugs:
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
- Sometimes a new channel is created with the wrong 'source'
|
|
parameter. This presumably happens when the transponder and source
|
|
are switched, and there is still an SDT data packet being processed.
|
|
The call to device->HasLock() in sections.c should fix this (and it
|
|
apparently does for most cases), but there must still be soemthing
|
|
wrong in that area. This may be fixed in 1.3.1 - please report if
|
|
it does still happen there.
|
|
- Sometimes the current channel gets re-tuned even though the channel
|
|
data of this channel didn't change (but that of an other channel did
|
|
change).
