- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it). - Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of your texts. - Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen). - Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to Stephan Epstein for reporting this one). - Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the original 'autopid' patch ;-). - Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf. - Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the full name. - The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing ones. - The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details). - The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details). - Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'. - Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed. - Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one). - Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable and satellite transponders. - Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually broadcast on. - Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).

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.
|
|
|
|
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).
