- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available (thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one). - Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL). This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has now been adopted. - Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one). - Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections. - Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by Teemu Rantanen). - Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl). - Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10 seconds. - Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Andreas Kool). - The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who actually has such equipment.

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 or "linked services" support yet.
|
|
- No radio 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 'F' (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).
