- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device. - The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3. - Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for helping to fix it). - Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell). - Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy Grobb for reporting this one). - Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details). - Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it). - If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device is now used as primary device (just to have some device). - Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup. - Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
This is a "plugin" for the Video Disk Recorder (VDR). Written by: Klaus Schmidinger <kls@cadsoft.de> Project's homepage: www.cadsoft.de/vdr Latest version available at: www.cadsoft.de/vdr See the file COPYING for license information. Description: The 'sky' plugin implements a new device for VDR, which is based on the MPEG2 encoder card described at linuxtv.org/mpeg2/kfir.xml. It allows you to connect the analog a/v output of your Sky Digibox to VDR, so that you can enjoy the full recording flexibility of VDR with your Sky subscription. Note that this is NOT something that does anything illegal, like decrypting the Sky programme without a subscription. You will need a Sky Digibox and a valid subscription in order to use this plugin. The 'kfir' module must be loaded with the option 'streamtype=4' to make it produce a Transport Stream. The Digibox is remotely controlled through VDR via LIRC (see lirc.org). The file lircd.conf.sky contains the remote control codes necessary to control the Digibox. In order to access the Sky channels VDR needs to know the channel number under which each channel is stored in the Sky Digibox. These numbers are used as 'frequency' parameters in the channels.conf definitions of the Sky channels (see the file 'channels.conf.sky'). Since these numbers are always less than 1000, they can be easily distinguished from normal satellite transponder frequencies. The VPID is 160 and the APID is 80 for all Sky channels. These are just fake PIDs, since the Kfir card always uses these fixed PIDs. The 'Ca' parameter of the Sky channels is set to 301, which is defined as "Videoguard, Sky Digital" in VDR's 'ca.conf' file. Again, please note that VDR doesn't do any decrypting here, this is just to mark these channels as "conditionally accessible" and have a way of setting the CICAM value for the Kfir device in VDR's Setup menu. The Sky EPG is available on the Internet at http://www.ananova.com. The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages and sends it to VDR via an SVDRP connection. The channel numbers Sky uses to generate the EPG pages are stored as the 'sid' parameter in the channels.conf definitions of the Sky channels. You can keep your EPG data up-to-date by entering a call to getskyepg.pl into your /etc/crontab. Call 'getskyepg.pl -h' for a list of options. The getskyepg.pl script requires the programs /usr/bin/wget and /usr/bin/logger to be installed on your system.
