-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 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 'FF' (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).
