Please read the comments in 'runvdr' + for details. +- The new "emergency exit" feature automatically triggers a restart of VDR (if + used with 'runvdr', otherwise it simply exists) if + * tuning the channel for a recording fails + * no useful data is received within the first 1MB of a recording + * no data is received within a recording for more than 5 seconds + This should make sure that a recording is successfully restarted after any + problems. +- Processing the EIT data is now disabled during replay and 'Transfer Mode' in + order to avoid video and audio glitches (there appears to be a bandwidth + problem somewhere in the driver/firmware/hardware). +- Due to the reduced amount of OSD memory provided by the driver the number of + lines in the OSD had to be reduced by 2. By rearranging some of the display + items the amount of visible information remained the same as before, though. + If your DVB card has even less memory (which would result in only the + channel switching display and the replay progress display being visible, but + no Main menu), try reducing the constant 'MenuLines' in dvbapi.h (currently + '13') even further. +- There are two new setup parameters to define the "Default Priority" and + "Default Lifetime" when creating a new timer event. +- The meaning of the "Lifetime" parameter has been modified: a value of '99' + now means that the recording will live "forever", and a value of '0' means + that the recording has no guaranteed lifetime and will be deleted whenever + a new recording with higher priority needs disk space. +- Updated version of Matthias Schniedermeyer's 'schnitt' tools. +- New 'master-timer' tool (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). + +2001-06-12: Version 0.81 + +- Fixed handling the case where the driver reports EAGAIN during recording, + but no data comes within 5 seconds. +- Fixed EPG scanning on single DVB card systems. +- There can now be two audio PIDs per channel, which can be toggled via the + "Green" button in the "Main" menu. The "Edit Channel" menu therefore now + has two audio PID fields (Apid1 and Apid2). By default, Apid2 is 0, which + means there is no alternate audio track. +- Fixed replaying in case the driver reports EAGAIN. +- Now 'runvdr' checks if the driver is already loaded (thanks to Henning + Holtschneider). +- Fixed removing recordings with Lifetime = 99. +- Improved channel switching. + +2001-06-16: Version 0.82 + +- Increased timeout until reporting "broken video data stream" when recording. +- Increased amount of non-useful data received by cRemux before assuming the + recording will fail. +- If there are two audio PIDs defined for a channel, both audio tracks will + now be recorded and can be selectively replayed later. See the FORMATS file + for details on how these different audio tracks are stored in the recorded + files. In order for this to work properly you need to use a driver version + dated 2001-06-16 or later, where the default PES filter buffer size has been + reduced. This will create packets for the second audio track that are small + enough to multiplex smoothly with the video data. +- Fixed a bug in the editing mechanism (didn't work with recordings that + consist of more than one data file). +- The compile time switch VFAT has been fixed to recognize the ':' character + in recording names, too. +- Setting all PIDs to 0x1FFF before switching channel. +- New setup parameter "VideoFormat" to define the aspect ratio of the tv set + in use (4:3 or 16:9). + +2001-06-26: Version 0.83 + +- Avoiding "Device or resource busy" error message when setting PIDs. +- Added Portugese language texts (thanks to Paulo Manuel Martins Lopes). +- Recording and replaying Dolby Digital (AC3) sound. +- No longer getting stuck when a channel doesn't sync while switching + with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys. + +2001-07-22: Version 0.84 + +- Fixed video packet scanning to make it recognize the whole range of + allowed video packet ids. +- Added an additional "emergency exit" in case channel switching doesn't + work several times in a row (when will the driver finally become stable + enough to allow rock solid channel switching??). +- No longer sending a Diseqc command if the Diseqc value for a given channel + is '0'. Previously this caused problems with some multi-switches (thanks to + Markus Lang and Ulrich Röder). +- When switching channels by entering the channel number via the numeric keys + on the remote control, the channel number displayed is now followed by the + '-' character to indicate that additional digits can be entered. +- Increased the timeout for numeric channel switching from 500ms to 1s. +- Fixed handling the "Green" button in the "Schedules" menu for channels that + have a second audio PID. +- Fixed high system load when displaying a still picture in replay. +- Fixed a hanging SVDRP connection if the client dies without issuing QUIT. +- Increased the frame buffer size to 192KB. +- Removed a superfluous VIDEO_FREEZE call in the replay buffer. +- Added French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). +- Modified OSD to use 2bpp windows (4 colors) in order to work with less + memory, allow a larger OSD window and be faster. The group separators in the + "Channels" menu had to be given a different color. +- Moved the channel display to the bottom of the screen. +- Displaying the frame counter in the replay progress display only when editing + a mark. +- Fixed handling characters above 0xEF in SVDRP. +- Fixed a possible crash in parsing incorrect lines in 'channels.conf'. +- New channel settings for Premiere World (Dolby Digital PIDs not yet + available). +- Increased the buffer for key names received from LIRC (thanks to Andre + Valentin). +- Fixed handling a channel group separator at the very beginning of the + 'channels.conf' file. + +2001-07-29: Version 0.85 + +- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jørgen Tvedt). +- Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on + systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). +- Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the + 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). +- Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). +- Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich + Röder). +- Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan + Huelswitt). +- Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). +- DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This + may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC + codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). +- Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. +- Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. +- Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks + to Guido Fiala). +- When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now + shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). +- When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the + display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful + setting of the mark. +- Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner). + Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of + several PW channels has been changed. +- Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the + confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". +- Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, + but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). +- Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually + tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). + Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a + replay session is started immediately after that. +- Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. +- Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a + replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode'). |
