- Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'. - Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither a video nor an audio PID. - Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID, TID and RID are now set to 0). - Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5) for details about the enhanced channel ID format. - Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested. The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line //#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1 in VDR/dvbdevice.c. - Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data from www.bleb.org. - Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder (necessary for the 'sky' plugin). - Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode. - Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing the VPS function for recording. - Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data. - The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time. - Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running, will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the 'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have a start time that is in the future, but are already running. - Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'. - Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label") for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists and is different than the event's start time. - Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme. The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature (see MANUAL for details). Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be called "safe"! - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event, whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu" for details).

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.
