Plugins that use these data structures + may need to change some function names (which should be obvious). + The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual + subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been + shortened to 'description'. +- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread + safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously. +- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to + define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and + 'newplugin'). +- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro + Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). +- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro + Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one). +- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for + Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi). +- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level' + sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter + Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work. +- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work. +- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired + by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). +- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings + change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its + settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the + new channel settings. +- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID. +- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided + by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short + names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name", + as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later. +- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the + CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests + for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically + get their supported ids from the CI handler. +- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not + a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically + by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids + provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign + a channel to a particular device. +- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256. +- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer + overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the + morning). |
