@@ -2651,3 +2651,65 @@ Video Disk Recorder Revision History - Removed the now obsolete CaCaps stuff. The Setup/CICAM menu now displays the actual CAM type as reported by the CAM. The 'ca.conf' file has been stripped down to the values 0..4. + +2004-02-29: Version 1.3.5 + +- 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). |
