VDR developer version 2.1.6 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.6.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-2.1.5-2.1.6.diff MD5 checksums: 79519dac59166fabc2029b916bd61d00 vdr-2.1.6.tar.bz2 99f2f7094a242462696c0da5e52bb4c3 vdr-2.1.5-2.1.6.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. From the HISTORY file: - Revoked "Fixed some compiler warnings with Clang 3.4.1" from ci.c, because this did not compile with older versions of gcc (thanks to Sören Moch). - Fixed keeping the current position in the Recordings menu if a recording was deleted in a sub folder. - Fixed handling transfer mode on full featured DVB cards for encrypted channels that have no audio pid (reported by Christian Winkler). - Fixed a possible endless loop in cH264Parser::GetGolombUe(), which caused recordings on some HD channels to get stuck and resulted in buffer overflows. - Fixed handling PAT packets when detecting frames, so that they can be properly taken into account when regenerating the index of a recording. - Fixed adding new source types in case they are already registered (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed an unnecessary assignment from cMenuRecordings::~cMenuRecordings(). - The Recordings menu now remembers the last recording the cursor was positioned on, independent of the last replayed recording. When a replay ends, however, the cursor will initially be positioned to the last replayed recording again when the menu is opened. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Fixed drawing the live indicator in the LCARS skin in case there are no devices. - When checking for obsolete channels, those with an RID that is not 0 are now ignored (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - The SDT is now only parsed *after* the NIT has been read, and it explicitly uses the source value derived from the NIT. This should prevent new channels from being created with the wrong source. - Added a log message in case a receiver is detached from its device because the assigned CAM can't decrypt the channel. - Refactored setup parameter handling for output devices: + The function cDevice::GetVideoSystem() has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. In order to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified if this function is removed, you can comment out the line #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM in device.h. + Handling the "video (display) format" (things like 16:9, 4:3, pan&scan, letterbox etc) shall now be done by the individual output devices, because the types and numbers of parameters are too device specific. The Setup/DVB parameters "Video format" and "Video display format" are still there for now and can be used by SD devices. HD devices, however, shall not use these parameters (any more), but rather implement their own setup menu with the necessary parameters for controlling output. + The dvbhdffdevice plugin has been modified accordingly. + Made it clear that cDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() merely tells the output device that the current audio track is Dolby Digital. This function was only used by the original "full featured" DVB cards - do not use it for new developments! If an output device has several ways of replaying audio (like HDMI or analog jack) it shall implement the proper options in its plugin's SetupMenu() function. - Added support for "Pilot", "T2-System-Id" and "SISO/MISO" parameters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Now initializing the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of cRecording when scanning the video directory, so that it won't cause a delay when opening the menu on a system with a large number of recordings. - Now resetting the isOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem member of a cRecording to -1 after renaming it, so that it will be re-checked upon the next call to IsOnVideoDirectoryFileSystem(). - Added support for systemd (thanks to Christopher Reimer). To activate this you need to add "SDNOTIFY=1" to the 'make' call.
Video Disk Recorder ('VDR') --------------------------- These files contain the source code of the "Video Disk Recorder", which is based on the DVB driver of the LinuxTV project (http://linuxtv.org). For details about the "Video Disk Recorder" project please refer to http://www.tvdr.de. Please see the INSTALL file for details on how to install this program on your computer. The MANUAL file describes how to operate the VDR. The CONTRIBUTORS file lists all the people who have contributed to the development of VDR. The author can be contacted at vdr@tvdr.de. Yet another "set-top box"? -------------------------- The "set-top boxes" available from commercial companies all have one major drawback: they are not "open". This project's goal is to build an "open" digital satellite receiver and timer controlled video disk recorder, based upon open standards and freely available driver software (of course, the hardware still has to be bought). The on screen menu system is simple, but shall provide all the possibilities necessary to perform timer controlled recording, file management and even "on disk editing". The menus of commercial set-top boxes usually are a lot more fancy than the ones in this system, but here we have the full source code and can modify the menus in whatever way desired.
