Version 1.0.0pre5vdr-1.0.0pre5
- Fixed restoring CICAM setup values for a fourth DVB card (thanks to Klaus Wolf).
- Completed internationalization of OSD texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen,
Arnold Niessen, Paulo Lopes, Jean-Claude Repetto, Alberto Carraro, Matjaz
Thaler and Truls Slevigen).
- Improved file I/O in case of EINTR, which may occur e.g. with heavy system
load (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Now writing the title of a recording into the 'summary.vdr' file.
- Workaround for displaying still frames with the unpatched LinuxDVB driver
(if anybody ever finds out why the unpatched driver doesn't display VDR's
still frames, please let me know).
- When executing a command from the "Commands" menu, the title of that command
is now immediately shown in the status line (followed by "...") to give the
user some feedback that the command is being executed, which is especially
important if this takes some time.
- Fixed scrolling the "Channels" menu in case the cursor ends up on a group
delimiter (thanks to Bernd Zierath for helping to debug this one).
- Added manual pages vdr(1) and vdr(5) (which made the FORMATS file obsolete).
- New command command line option '-V' to display the VDR version.
- Adjusting column width for channel numbers in case there are more than 999
channels.
- Checking the return value of '...FileRady...' calls in dvbapi.c for better
performance under heavy system load.
- New 'make' target 'install', which copies the manual pages and executables
to their appropriate system locations and creates the /video directory if
it doesn't exist yet.
- Automatic hotkey assignment is now suppressed if the first entry in
commands.conf starts with a digit in the range '1'...'9', followed by a blank.
- Fixed a bug in switching back the replay mode display in time shift mode
(thanks to Achim Lange for reporting this one).
- Fixed a bug in the 'First day' timer parameter for timers that record over
midnight.
- Added units to Setup parameters.
- Changed time entry in the 'Jump' command during replay, so that it is filled
up from right to left.
- Now using statfs() to determine the amount of free disk space, which avoids
the use of an external 'df' command (thanks to Ruben Nunez Francisco).
- Fixed skipping the next hit of a repeating timer (thanks to Rainer Zocholl
for reporting this one).
- Fixed a bug when a timer records over midnight of a day that had a change in
Daylight Saving Time.
- Added Polish language texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski).
- Fixed a bug in parsing group separators in channels.conf (thanks to Henning
Holtschneider for reporting this one).
- Changed the default 'Ok' key when using the PC keyboard from '5' (in the
numeric block) to 'Enter', because the '5' key didn't work on keyboards with
the F-keys on top.
- Fixed a bug in the EPG bugfix mechanism if the extended description is shorter
than 3 characters (thanks to Andreas Schultz).

When a user modifes an active - timer the 'active' field will be explicitly set to '1' (or '0', respectively, - if the user deactivates the timer). - Note: in order to allow future extensibility, external programs using the - 'active' parameter should only use the upper 16 bit of this 32 bit parameter - and leave the lower 16 bit untouched. - - Program number of the channel to record - - Day of recording (in case of a repeating timer), either one or more of - M------ = Monday - -T----- = Tuesday - --W---- = Wednesday - ---T--- = Thrusday - ----F-- = Friday - -----S- = Saturday - ------S = Sunday - (any combination is possible, for example MTWTF--, and the days may be - indicated by any characters except '-', so for example ABC---- would set - a timer that records on monday, tuesday and wednesday) or the "day of month" - (1..31) in case of a single shot timer. - The day definition of a repeating timer may be followed by the date when that - timer shall hit for the first time. The format for this is @YYYY-MM-DD, - so a complete definition could look like this: MTWTF--@2002-02-18. This - "first day" feature can be used to disable a repeating timer for a couple - of days, or for instance to define a new Mon...Fri timer on wednesday, which - actually starts "monday next week". The "first day" date given need not be - that of a day when the timer would actually hit. - - Start time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes) - - End time (first two digits for the hour, second two digits for the minutes) - - Priority (from 0 to 99, 0 = lowest prioity, 99 = highest priority) - - Guaranteed lifetime of recording (in days); 0 means that this recording may - be automatically deleted by a new recording with higher priority, 99 means - that this recording will never be automatically deleted - - Name of timer (will be used to name the recording); if the name contains - any ':' characters, these have to be replaced with '|'. If the name shall - contain subdirectories, these have to be delimited by '~' (since the '/' - character may be part of a regular programme name). - The special keywords TITLE and EPISODE, if present, will be replaced - with the title and episode information from the EPG data at the time of - recording (if that data is available). If at the time of recording either - of these cannot be determined, TITLE will default to the channel name, and - EPISODE will default to a blank. - - Summary (any newline characters in the summary have to be replaced with '|'; - the summary may contain ':' characters) - -* setup.conf - - This file contains the basic configuration options for VDR. - - Each line contains one option in the format "Name = Value". - - See the MANUAL file for a description of the available options. - -* commands.conf - - This file contains the definitions of commands that can be executed from - the "VDR" menu's "Commands" option. - - Each line contains one command definition in the following format: - - title : command - - where 'title' is the string the will be displayed in the "Commands" menu, - and 'command' is the actual command string that will be executed when this - option is selected. The delimiting ':' may be surrounded by any number of - white space characters. - - In order to avoid error messages to stderr, every command should have - stderr redirected to stdout. Everything the command prints to stdout will - be displayed in a result window, with 'title' as its title. - - Examples: - - Check for new mail: /usr/local/bin/checkmail 2>&1 - CPU status : /usr/local/bin/cpustatus 2>&1 - Disk space : df -h | grep '/video' | awk '{ print 100 - $5 "% free"; }' - -* svdrphosts.conf - - This file contains the IP numbers of all hosts that are allowed to access the - SVDRP port. - - Each line contains one IP number in the format - - IP-Address[/Netmask] - - where 'IP-Address' is the address of a host or a network in the usual dot - separated notation (as in 192.168.100.1). If the optional 'Netmask' is given - only the given number of bits of 'IP-Address' are taken into account. This - allows you to grant SVDRP access to all hosts of an entire network. 'Netmask' - can be any integer from 1 to 32. The special value of 0 is only accepted if - the 'IP-Address' is 0.0.0.0, because this will give access to any host (USE - THIS WITH CARE!). - - Everything following (and including) a '#' character is considered to be - comment. - -* marks.vdr - - This file (if present in a recording directory) contains the editing marks - defined for this recording. - - Each line contains the definition of one mark in the following format: - - hh:mm:ss.ff comment - - where 'hh:mm:ss.ff' is a frame position within the recording, given as "hours, - minutes, seconds and (optional) frame number". 'comment' can be any string - and may be used to describe this mark. If present, 'comment' must be separated - from the frame position by at least one blank. - - The lines in this file need not necessarily appear in the correct temporal - sequence, they will be automatically sorted by time index. - - CURRENT RESTRICTIONS: - - - the 'comment' is currently not used by VDR - - marks must have a frame number, and that frame MUST be an I-frame (this - means that only marks generated by VDR itself can be used, since they - will always be guaranteed to mark I-frames). - -* 001.vdr ... 255.vdr - - These are the actual recorded MPEG data files. In order to keep the size of - an individual file below a given limit, a recording is split into several - files. The contents of these files is "Packetized Elementary Stream" (PES) - and contains ES packets with ids 0xE0 for video, 0xC0 for audio 1 and 0xC1 - for audio 2 (if available). Dolby Digital data is stored in packets with - ids 0xBD. - -* epg.data - - This file contains the EPG data in an easily parsable format. The first - character of each line defines what kind of data this line contains. - - The following tag characters are defined: - - C <service id> <channel name> - E <event id> <start time> <duration> <table id> - T <title> - S <subtitle> - D <description> - e - c - - Lowercase characters mark the end of a sequence that was started by the - corresponding uppercase character. The outer frame consists of a sequence - of one or more 'C'...'c' (Channel) entries. Inside these any number of - 'E'...'e' (Event) entries are allowed. The 'T', 'S' and 'D' entries are - optional (although every event should at least have a 'T' entry). - - <service id> is the "program number" as defined in 'channels.conf' - <channel name> is the "name" as in 'channels.conf' (for information only) - <start time> is the time (as a time_t integer) in UTC when this event starts - <duration> is the time (in seconds) that this event will take - <table id> is a hex number that indicates the table this event is contained - in (if this is left empty or 0 this event will not be overwritten - or modified by data that comes from the DVB stream) - <title> is the title of the event - <subtitle> is the subtitle (typically the name of the episode etc.) - <description> is the description of the event - - This file will be read at program startup in order to restore the results of - previous EPG scans. |
