- Some improvements to the man pages (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed a possible segfault in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Made the getskyepg.pl script of the 'sky' plugin send a user agent message to the server, according to the rules at http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings. If your version of 'wget' doesn't support the -U option to set the user agent, use the new option -U of getskyepg.pl to have the information added to the URL as a query string. - The getskyepg.pl script now replaces "&" with "&". - Fixed a possible crash in remux.c on 64-bit machines (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a typo in the change to the "Use small font" setup option in version 1.3.47 in the HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS file (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing 'const' to cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() (reported by Andreas Brugger). This required the APIVERSION to be increased, so plugins will have to be recompiled. - Now calling cPluginManager::Active() only if VDR is really trying to shut down, and waiting for 5 minutes before calling it again (thanks to Jörg Wendel for reporting that cPlugin::Active() was called too often, and to Udo Richter for some hints on how to improve this). - Replaced 'unsigned long' with 'uint32_t' and 'uint64' with 'uint64_t' to avoid problems on 64-bit machines.
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 stored in the file 'channels.conf.sky', together with the channel IDs as derived from the actual channel data and the names under which the EPG data for each channel can be found (see below). Copy this file to your plugins config directory, in a subdirectory named 'sky', as in /video/plugins/sky/channels.conf.sky The Sky EPG is available on the Internet at http://www.bleb.org. The Perl script getskyepg.pl extracts the EPG data from these pages and sends it to VDR via an SVDRP connection. The channel names as used on the bleb.org pages are defined in the channels.conf.sky file. 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.
