2005-02-06Version 1.3.20vdr-1.3.20Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed displaying the "Audio" menu with the "Green" button from the "Main" menu in case there is only one audio track (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Now setting primaryDevice = NULL before deleting the devices in cDevice::Shutdown() to avoid problems in case other threads access it (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing this out). - Fixed a buffer overflow in case a station defines all 32 audio PIDs (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Fixed masking SubStreamType in cDevice::PlayPesPacket() (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out this one). - The new function cPlugin::Stop() shall be used to stop any background activities of a plugin. Previously this was done in the plugin's destructor, but it is better to do this in a dedicated function that can be called early when shutting down. - Moved the call to SetAudioChannel(0) into cDevice::ClrAvailableTracks() to have it executed also when starting a replay. - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - The new setup option "OSD/Channel info time" can be used to define the time after which the channel display is removed if no key has been pressed (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Modified cDolbyRepacker to make sure PES packets don't exceed the requested length (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed several memory leaks that were introduced through the use of cString (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting these). - Added CMD_SPU_CHG_COLCON to cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Making sure the current audio track is actually one of the ones available in a recording (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting a problem when starting replay of a recording that has no Dolby Digital audio after switching to a channel that has DD and selecting the DD audio track). - Removed 'flags' from tTrackId (thought we would need this, but apparently we don't). - Making sure the "Mute" and "Volume+/-" keys don't interfere with digital audio. - Fixed the "pre 1.3.19" compatibility mode for old Dolby Digital recordings (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing out that this can be triggered in the default branch). - Calling pesAssembler->Reset() in cDevice::AttachPlayer() to avoid problems with residual data in replay and Transfer Mode (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out). - Added MPEG1 replay capability to cPesAssembler (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
2005-01-23Version 1.3.19vdr-1.3.19Klaus Schmidinger
- Making sure at least the default skin is available at program start in case a plugin needs to issue an error message (thanks to Achim Tuffentshammer for reporting a crash in such a case). Also checking if there is a current skin in cSkins::Message(). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts and fixed internationalization of the text for "Setup/DVB/Audio language(s)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Completed the Estonian OSD texts and switched to iso8859-13 character set (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Made cCondWait::SleepMs() sleep at least 3ms to avoid a possible busy wait. - Fixed canceling the LIRC thread (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - The "Green" button in the "Main" menu is now always "Audio", since the audio channel might be changed even if there is only one actual audio PID. - Fixed handling the '-E' option which was broken in version 1.3.18 (thanks to Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Mainz (thanks to Michael Heyse). - Implemented cDolbyRepacker for better handling of Dolby Digital PES packets (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed playing files with PES packets longer than 2048 byte through the full featured DVB card (thanks to Marco Kremer for reporting this one and providing a test sample). - Recording and Transfer Mode now handle more than 2 audio PIDs. For this the interfaces of the following functions have been changed: cTransferControl::cTransferControl() cTransfer::cTransfer() cRecorder::cRecorder() cReceiver::cReceiver() cRemux::cRemux() - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() and cTSBuffer::Action() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Extended some buffer sizes to allow handling HDTV streams (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Düsseldorf and Köln (thanks to Walter Koch). - Falling back to 'stereo' when switching channels in case the user had switched to 'left' or 'right' (suggested by Rolf Groppe). - Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Recording and Transfer Mode can now handle up to 8 Dolby Digital tracks (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for a patch that implements substream handling into cDevice::PlayPesPacket(), and Reinhard Nissl for adding substream handling to cDolbyRepacker). - Added PlayPes(NULL, 0) to cTransfer::Action() when clearing the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out).
2005-01-09Version 1.3.18vdr-1.3.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink). + The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary. + cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets. + cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version 0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now has an 'int' return value. + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class function. It shall just play the given data as audio. + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes(). + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are actually required will be processed. + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that have their own idea about this. + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to allow access to all available PIDs. - Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for pointing this out). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos). - Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to Laurence Abbott). - Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were shifted one too far to the left). - Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font files. - Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry. - Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out). - Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide the actual buffering. In particular these are: readdir() -> cReadDir readline() -> cReadLine - Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString: cChannel::ToText() tChannelID::ToString() cEvent::GetDateString() cEvent::GetTimeString() cEvent::GetEndTimeString() cEvent::GetVpsString() cMark::ToText() cTimer::ToText() cSource::ToString() cTimer::PrintDay() cTimer::PrintFirstDay() PrefixVideoFileName() IndexToHMSF() ChannelString() strescape() AddDirectory() itoa() WeekDayName() DayDateTime() When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value, as in const char *date = DayDateTime(); Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not be valid after this line. Use this instead: cString date = DayDateTime(); In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be dereferenced with a '*', as in printf("%s", *DayDateTime()); to make it a 'const char *'. - Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead. - Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing out this problem). - Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching receivers from different threads. - The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language" to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital audio tracks (see MANUAL for details). - The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors" that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes, which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3. - The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details). - The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed. - Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio track menu. - The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the botton left side. - The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages (see MANUAL for details). - The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks in these channels (see MANUAL for details). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund). - Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick Gleichmann). - Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu. - Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for their support in testing and fine tuning this version.
2004-11-21Version 1.3.17vdr-1.3.17Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() to make sure it doesn't access memory beyond the end of the given buffer, which has caused some unjustified "unknown picture type errors" (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a possible crash when pausing live video and the recording was unable to start, maybe because there was no lock on the device (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting this one). - Fixed some characters in the iso8859-2 font file (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed some errors in the Croatian language texts (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Fixed a possible recursion in cControl::Shutdown() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Now setting the VPID before the APID in live mode to avoid unnecessary overhead in the firmware (thanks to Werner Fink). - Now checking available OSD memory at runtime (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Olaf Titz). - Fixed handling childTid in cThread to avoid possible race conditions (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out). - Fixed toggling the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu, so that it selects the right day of week for timers in the future. - Some improvements to cPoller (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
2004-11-14Version 1.3.16vdr-1.3.16Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed cChannel::SetName() in case only the ShortName or Provider has changed (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Added Danish language texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Reactivated the NPTL check at startup because there appear to be still unsolved problems when running on NPTL systems. - Added missing calls to cStatus::MsgOsdClear() in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Joachim Wilke for reporting this one, and Andreas Regel for additional input). - Fixed the cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling of pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed a short glitch when starting a recording on the primary device while in replay or transfer mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added missing initialization of cEvent::seen. - Checking PID language codes for ISO 639 compliance to avoid problems with funny characters. Invalid language codes will be stored as "???". - The '0' key now toggles the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu between "single shot" and "repeating". The keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the individual days ('1' is Monday). Thanks to Sascha Klek for reporting a problem with the '0' key in the "Day" item of the "Timers" menu.
2004-11-01Version 1.3.15vdr-1.3.15Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Uwe Hanke). - Added more checks and polling when getting frontend events (based on a patch from Werner Fink). - No longer explicitly waiting for a tuner lock when switching channels (apparently setting "live" PIDs before the tuner is locked doesn't hurt). Moved the wait into cDevice::AttachReceiver() instead. - Immediately displaying the new channel info when switching channel groups. - Moved the main program loop variables further up to allow compilation with older compiler versions (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one). - Now calling pthread_cond_broadcast() in the destructor of cCondWait and cCondVar to make sure any sleepers will wake up (suggested by Werner Fink). Also using pthread_cond_broadcast() instead of pthread_cond_signal() in cCondWait, in case there is more than one sleeper. - Making sure that timers and channels are only saved together, in a consistent manner (thanks to Mirko Dölle for reporting a problem with inconsistent channel and timer lists). - Now handling the channel name, short name and provider separately. cChannel therefore has two new functions, ShortName() and Provider(). ShortName() can be used to display a short version of the name (in case such a version is available). The optional boolean parameter of ShortName() can be set to true to make it return the name, if no short name is available. The sequence of 'name' and 'short name' in the channels.conf file has been swapped (see man vdr(5)). - Added the 'portal name' to cChannels (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling key codes that start with 0x1B in the KBD remote control code. - Now using qsort() to sort cListBase lists. For this, the virtual function cListObject::operator<() has been replaced with cListObject::Compare(). Plugins that implement derived cListObject classes may need to adjust their code. - The "Channels" menu can now be sorted "by number" (default), "by name" and "by provider". While in the "Channels" menu, pressing the '0' key switches through these modes. - Fixed the buffer size in cRecording::SortName(). - Now displaying the name of the remote control for which the keys are being learned inside the menu to avoid overwriting the date/time in the 'classic' skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
2004-10-24Version 1.3.14vdr-1.3.14Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed detecting transponder lock in cDvbTuner (based on a patch from Stefan Meyknecht). - What was previously marked with WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING is now permanently active and uses a cCondVar to signal when a transponder is locked. - Added some missing 'const' to cChannel. - Added a sample setup for 'DisiCon-4 Single Cable Network' to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed attaching a cPlayer to a cDevice, so that 'Operation not permitted' errors don't occur any more (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a case where the resultBuffer in cRemux ran full before getting a sync. - Removed the usleep() call from cDvbPlayer::Action() to make VDR run on NPTL systems (thanks to Alfred Zastrow). The NPTL check at startup has also been removed. - Taking the complete size of available data into account when deciding whether to clear the transfer buffer to avoid overflows (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated Romanian language texts and the iso8859-2 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now actually using the iso8859-15 fonts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Some minor code cleanups (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam). - Fixed missing cleanup at program exit in case there is a problem with a plugin (thanks to Mattias Grönlund for pointing this out). - Increased the required free buffer space in the resultBuffer of cRemux to 2 * IPACKS to avoid a buffer overflow in case a cTS2PES writes one complete packet and then (within processing the same TS packet) wants to write another small packet. - Removed the signal handler and WakeUp() call from cThread (it is no longer needed). - Added some checks when canceling a thread and removed the usleep() in cThread::Start() (suggested by Ludwig Nussel). Also removed 'running' from cThread and using only childTid to indicate whether a thread is actually running. - Added cCondWait::Sleep() and using it to replace all usleep() calls (based on a suggestion by Werner Fink). - Only assigning events to timers if the related schedule has actually been modified. - When searching for the present event, the running status is now only taken into account if the event has been "seen" within the past 30 seconds. This avoids shortly seeing the wrong events in the channel display when switching to a channel that hasn't been tuned to in a while.
2004-10-17Version 1.3.13vdr-1.3.13Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo). - Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock (thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to Marco Schlüssler). - Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland). - Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the ring buffer. - Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'. - Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid an "almost full" ring buffer. - Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for the new usage of cTSBuffer). - cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using cRemux will need to be modified accordingly. - The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to improve the overall throughput. - Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with each call, not just 2048 byte. - Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h. - Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible "near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still uses it in cRemote). - The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows). - Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing). - Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo Tykkala for pointing out this problem). - cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to the log file). - Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing this out). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested by Wayne Keer). - Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter). - Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun). - Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun). - Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently active. - Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead checking if the channel has a non-zero number. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).
2004-07-18Version 1.3.12vdr-1.3.12Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed all error messages from cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() and just skipping entries that cause errors in order to avoid failure in case of things like broken links etc. - The function cTimers::SetEvents() now immediately returns if there is some user input. - Fixed handling menu status messages when the list contents is scrolled (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this one). - Fixed checking the last area for misalignment in cOsd::CanHandleAreas() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - No longer adding section filters to the list of filters if they can't be opened (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling section filters (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed handling error case '-1' when polling CAM connections. - Making sure the OSD reports oeWrongAlignment errors before any oeAreasOverlap error (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Avoiding flashing effects in the OSD of full featured DVB cards by explicitly clearing the OSD windows before opening them (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - Experimental support for NVOD channels. Currently these channels are detected and linked to their "base" channels using the same mechanisms as for the "linked services" (let's see if this is useful). Thanks to Mike parker for helping to test this. Also used some input from the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz). - Now storing the name of the service provider (aka "bouquet") in the channel name, separated by a semicolon (see man vdr(5) for details). Explicit usage of the various parts of the channel name is yet to come. - The 'radio' channel icon is now only displayed in the ST:TNG skin if the channel actually has an APID.
2004-06-19Version 1.3.11vdr-1.3.11Klaus Schmidinger
- In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do 'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR. - Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for reporting this one). Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file! - Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo). - Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin). - Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting this one). - No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle). - The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu. If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings. If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file '.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings. - Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually implemented for FF DVB cards. - Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard Cedric for reporting this one). - Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out this one). - Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one).
2004-06-06Version 1.3.10vdr-1.3.10Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed some default parameters in 'skincurses'. - Fixed cBitmap::DrawPixel(), which messed with other bitmaps' palettes in case the pixel coordinates were outside this bitmap (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - The cBitmap::DrawText() function now doesn't set any background pixels if the given background color is clrTransparent. This allows drawing "transparent" texts (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - The cBitmap::SetXpm() function now ignores unused "none" color entries, which some broken graphics tools write into XPM files (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - No longer setting lnb voltage if the frontend is not DVB-S (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed displaying the current channel when switching via the SVDRP command CHAN (thanks to Jürgen Schmitz for reporting this one). - Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added a note about the default assignment of the color keys to MANUAL. - Added a note about NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library") to the INSTALL file (apparently the "fix" in version 1.3.0 didn't really fix this). - Modified 'libsi' to require callers to state the buffer sizes when getting strings in order to avoid buffer overflows (thanks to Philip Lawatsch for debugging a buffer overflow in eit.c).
2004-05-31Version 1.3.9vdr-1.3.9Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - New iso8859-2 font to fix the problem with program freezes (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - Implemented a default cRemote::Initialize() that waits 10 seconds for a keypress in order to prevent a "hangup" in case, e.g., the LIRC driver is not loaded (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - cBitmap::DrawBitmap() now also resets the palette if the entire bitmap area is covered (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed setting the title in the replay display of the "Classic VDR" skin in case a shorter title is set after a longer one (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now using more separate areas in the "ST:TNG Panels" skin to allow a theme to use more independent clrMenu* colors. - Fixed removing the "scanning recordings..." message in case the video directory is empty (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Added SetMessage() functions to the Replay and Channel skin functions. Plugins that implement skins will need to implement these functions. This fixes a missing "Editing process finished" message (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed the height of the channel display in the "Classic VDR" skin. - Fixed handling descriptor loops in 'libsi', which had sometimes caused invalid CA ids to be added to the channel definitions (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one, and Marcel Wiesweg for fixing it). - Fixed handling colors in cDvbSpuPalette::yuv2rgb() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made some functions of cFont virtual to allow implementing dummy fonts for the 'curses' skin. - The new plugin 'skincurses' re-implements the functionality that was previously available by compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD. Some things may not yet work as they should, but it's a starting point.
2004-05-23Version 1.3.8vdr-1.3.8Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a crash when switching the skin and having selected a non-default theme that is not available for the newly selected skin (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed some issues with gcc 3.4 (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam and Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a hint to PLUGINS.html about how to name a plugin that implements a skin. - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Single shot timers and events now show the day of week (adopted with some changes from the "elchi" patch, orginally introduced by Oskar Signell). Plugins that use cEvent::GetDateString() should note that this function now returns a longer string, including the day of week. The new function const char *WeekDayName(time_t t) can be called with a time_t value to get the day of week for that time. - When processing XPM data, the color name "None" is now mapped to #00000000, which is "fully transparent" (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the OSD alignment in the SPU decoder (thanks to Miko Wohlgemuth for reporting this one and helping to test the fix). - Fixed freezing picture when a recording starts on a system that always uses 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Michal Dobrzynski for reporting this one). - Fixed a memory leak in NIT processing (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a few missing initializations (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuText to VDR/menu.h to make it available to plugins. It now also has a SetText() function that can be used to dynamically set the text in an already existing cMenuText (both suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added play mode pmVideoOnly (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a missing cStatus::MsgOsdClear() to cDisplayChannel::~cDisplayChannel() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer displaying unused color buttons in the "Classic VDR" skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Added some missing cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() calls (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
2004-05-16Version 1.3.7vdr-1.3.7Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess). - Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6. - Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6). - Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig). - Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them available for plugins. - The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts. - The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of the small font (see MANUAL for details). - Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd. Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements. - Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the driver, together with the endian problem). - The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left corner of the OSD. - The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters). When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically. - The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD display on arbitrary hardware. - The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how to use these. - Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this functionality later. - The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc], VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin". - The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Theme". - Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font, because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9 and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's going wrong here... - Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).
2004-03-14Version 1.3.6vdr-1.3.6Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some descriptor handling in 'libsi' (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Fixed handling the current menu item (thanks to Marc Hoppe). - Fixed assigning events to timers (they no longer get "stuck"). - Added log entries whenever the running status of an event changes (currently only logging the first 30 channels). - Fixed handling timers in VPS margin if the EPG scan is turned on (the EPG scan switched the device away from the channel, so it wouldn't see the change of the running status). - Fixed handling "itemized" texts in EPG data (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem, and Marcel Wiesweg for improving 'libsi'). - Fixed handling VPS times at year boundaries. - Avoiding too many consecutive "ring buffer overflow" messages (which only slowed down performance even more). - Taking the Sid into account when detecting version changes in processing the PMT (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Any newline characters in the 'description' of EPG events are now preserved to allow texts to be displayed the way the tv stations have formatted them. This was also necessary to better display itemized texts. - Fixed detecting the running status in case an empty EPG event is broadcast (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for pointing this out). - Improved performance when paging through very long menu lists. - Removed cSchedule::GetEventNumber() and cSchedule::NumEvents(). There is now cSchedule::Events() that returns the list of events directly. - Avoiding occasional bad responsiveness to user interaction caused by assigning events to timers. - Now explicitly turning on the LNB power at startup, because newer drivers don't do this any more (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out).
2004-02-29Version 1.3.5vdr-1.3.5Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2004-02-08Version 1.3.4vdr-1.3.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed handling language codes in case there is no audio or Dolby PID. - Fixed handling CA ids (was broken in 1.3.3). - Fixed the SVDRP command 'STAT DISK' to avoid a 'division by 0' in case the disk is full (thanks to Jens Rosenboom). - Fixed handling bitmap indexes for 256 color mode (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Now handling "linked services" (based on the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz). Linked channels are detected and added to 'channels.conf', but currently they are not yet presented to the user other than being in the normal channel list (this will come later). - Preliminary fix for the "Unknown picture type error" (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for his support in debugging this one). This may slow down switching between channels on different transponders for now, but a better solution will come later. - Fixed the validity check for channel IDs, because some providers use TIDs with value 0 (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl). - Enabled switching to a channel even if it has no Vpid or Apid set, because these might be automatically set when tuned to that transponder. - No longer closing the Channels menu after trying to switch to a channel that is currently not available. - 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.
2004-01-25Version 1.3.3vdr-1.3.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added ISO639LanguageDescriptor to 'libsi'. - Changed the 'languageCode' members in the descriptor classes of 'libsi' to 'char[4]' and setting the 4th byte to 0 for easier handling. - Fixed frequency handling when setting the CA descriptors in cDvbTuner::Action() (thanks to Jan Ekholm for reporting and helping to debug this one). - Now setting CA descriptors even if "Setup/DVB/Update channels" is less than 2. - There can now be up to 32 audio and Dolby PIDs (however, currently still only the first two are used throughout the rest of the program). - The audio and Dolby PIDs in 'channels.conf' now can have an optional language code (see man vdr(5)). Currently this is only stored and not yet used otherwise. - Added a call to cStatus::MsgOsdCurrentItem() to cMenuEditItem::SetValue() (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
2004-01-18Version 1.3.2vdr-1.3.2Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it). - Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of your texts. - Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen). - Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to Stephan Epstein for reporting this one). - Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the original 'autopid' patch ;-). - Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf. - Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the full name. - The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing ones. - The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details). - The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details). - Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'. - Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed. - Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one). - Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable and satellite transponders. - Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually broadcast on. - Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).
2004-01-11Version 1.3.1vdr-1.3.1Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available (thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one). - Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL). This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has now been adopted. - Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one). - Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections. - Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by Teemu Rantanen). - Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl). - Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10 seconds. - Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to Andreas Kool). - The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who actually has such equipment.
2004-01-04Version 1.3.0vdr-1.3.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library"). Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt. - The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id. For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments. Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order to support logging the thread ids. - Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky). However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling. - Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the 'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets. - Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally provided by Alessio Sangalli). - Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done separately, even from within plugins. - The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been adapted to the general VDR coding style. 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).
2003-11-14Version 1.2.6vdr-1.2.6Klaus Schmidinger
- Final release of version 1.2.6.
2003-11-09Version 1.2.6pre6vdr-1.2.6pre6Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed handling Priority -1 in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Torsten Herz). - Fixed processing EPG data in case there is no title (thanks to Torsten Herz).
2003-11-08Version 1.2.6pre5vdr-1.2.6pre5Klaus Schmidinger
- Added cDevice::GetSTC() (suggested by Sven Goethel). - Added Asia-Pacific satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Richard Scobie). - Added North American satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Luke Jenkins). - Fixed getting the list of recordings in case VDR is started from a directory where it doesn't have access to (thanks to Dirk Mueller).
2003-10-26Version 1.2.6pre4vdr-1.2.6pre4Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed handling CAM menus in case the CAM connection fails while the menu is being presented (thanks to Thomas v. Keller for reportign this one). - Added missing 'const' to some cChannel member functions (thanks to Torsten Herz).
2003-10-24Version 1.2.6pre3vdr-1.2.6pre3Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Continuing learning remote control keys in case one rc fails (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed handling comments in editing marks.
2003-10-19Version 1.2.6pre2vdr-1.2.6pre2Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann).
2003-10-17Version 1.2.6pre1vdr-1.2.6pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for reporting this one). - Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry (thanks to Ralf Klueber). - Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt). - Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf' (thanks to Thomas Rausch). - Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects new VDR installations. - Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs full (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later problems with timers.
2003-09-17Version 1.2.5vdr-1.2.5Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
2003-09-14Version 1.2.5pre3vdr-1.2.5pre3Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed dropping out of replay mode while viewing a recording that is still going on (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting and helping to debug this one). - Fixed handling ':' characters in channel names when reading channels.conf (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed the URL to the 'Doxygen' tool in INSTALL (thanks to Dirk Essl). - Removed the obsolete chapter "Stopping a recording on the primary DVB interface" from MANUAL. - Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans). - Made 'diseqc.conf' a required file only if Setup.DiSEqC is activated (thanks to Thomas Schmidt). - VDR now starts up even if 'keymacros.conf' references a plugin that is currently not loaded (suggested by Alexander Wetzel). - Fixed checking for VIDEO_STREAM_S in cRemux::SetBrokenLink() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Added 'repeat' function to keys '7' and '9' ("jump to mark") in replay mode (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Made cOsdMenu::Display() virtual, which allows plugins to do some additional processing after calling the base class function (suggested by Jan Rieger). - Updated 'ca.conf' (thanks to Marco Franceschetti).
2003-09-07Version 1.2.5pre2vdr-1.2.5pre2Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated VIVA, VIVA Plus, MTV Central and MTV 2 in channels.conf (thanks to Sebastian Frei). - Changed "Studio Universal" to "Sci-Fi" in channels.conf. - Fixed a crash when using the --terminal option without having access to the given terminal (thanks to Steffen Barszus for helping to debug this one). - Added a note about the driver version needed for the still picture fix from version 1.2.5pre1 to work properly (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out). - Fixed setting the primary device in case none of the devices provides an MPEG decoder (thanks to Rene Bartsch for reporting this one). - Fixed handling the "Red" button in the "Schedules" menu in case there are no events listed for a particular channel (thanks to Christoph Hermanns for reporting this one). - When setting an editing mark while in "Pause" mode, replay now immediately jumps to the marked frame (thanks to Oskar Signell for pointing out this problem). - The DVB devices no longer send CA descriptors to the CAM while the EPG scanner is active (sometimes the CAMs got irritated when the device tuned to channels they couldn't handle).
2003-08-31Version 1.2.5pre1vdr-1.2.5pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- Now explicitly handling exit value 0 and 2 in 'runvdr'. - Added a missing 'w' to the allowed characters for Finnish and Swedish (thanks to Lauri Tischler and Ragnar Sundblad). - Added channels for DVB-T Hannover (Germany) to channels.cont.terr (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - Fixed a hangup in SVDRP when the client disappears without sending QUIT (thanks to Robert Bartl for reporting this one). The problem was introduced in version 1.2.2 through the fix for an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin. - Fixed displaying still pictures, now using the driver's VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call directly (thanks to Oliver Endriss). This also improves navigating through DVD menus with the DVD plugin. If this causes problems with your particular system (maybe because you are using the 'analogtv' plugin) you can reactivate the previous behaviour by commenting out the line #define VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES in VDR/dvbdevice.c. Note that you need driver version 2003-08-23 or later for this to work! - Fixed handling extra blanks in plugin command lines. - Actually implemented the SVDRP command DELC. - Now clearing the player device if there are too many poll timeouts in 'Transfer Mode', which avoids buffer overflows and black screens in such cases.
2003-08-26Version 1.2.4 (not officially released)vdr-1.2.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed 'runvdr' to stay in the loop only if VDR returns an exit status of '1'. - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Empty values in setup.conf are no longer treated as an error (thanks to Andreas Kool for reporting this one). - Added a note about the config files of plugins to INSTALL (thanks to Thomas Keil). - VDR now continues to start up, even if there is an error in setup.conf. - Fixed a bug in resetting OSD color palettes (thanks to Torsten Herz). - Fixed starting a recording on the primary device if there is a replay session active (thanks to Javier Marcet for reporting this one). - Avoiding an unnecessary stop of an ongoing Transfer Mode when starting a recording on the primary device.
2003-08-17Version 1.2.3 (not officially released)vdr-1.2.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material. In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem(). - Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this). - Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl). - Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on the same channel. - Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to Richard Robson for reporting this one). - Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous" (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).
2003-08-03Version 1.2.2vdr-1.2.2Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a bug in channel switching after Left/Right has been pressed (thanks to Michael Walle for reporting this one). - Improved channel switching in case of numerical input by switching as soon as the channel is unique (suggested by Jaakko Hyvätti). - Fixed creating a new channel in the "Channels" menu in case the 'channels.conf' contains ':@nnn' lines with no text (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this one). - Changed the behaviour of the '0' key in normal viewing mode so that a channel only qualifies as "previous" if it has been selected for at least 3 seconds (suggested by Thomas Keil). - Now clearing the channel info display when entering numeric keys to switch channels (suggested by Guy Roussin). - Added missing I18N entry for "Ppid" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling the color buttons in the "Edit channel" menu (thanks to Thomas Keil for reporting this one). - Fixed an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Fixed checking CA capabilities with the dvb-kernel driver (thanks to Kenneth Aafløy). - Fixed selecting the device, because sometimes an FTA recording terminated a CA recording (thanks to Emil Naepflein). - Fixed a possible crash in case a VFAT file system is used without compiling VDR with VFAT=1 (thanks to Ernst Fürst for reporting this one). - Now the program uses the values of VIDEODIR and PLUGINDIR defined in Makefile or Make.config as defaults (thanks to Steffen Barszus). - Added the usual menu timeout to the CAM menus.
2003-06-09Version 1.2.1vdr-1.2.1Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed OSD access in case none of the devices provides one (thanks to Axel Gruber for reporting this one). - Fixed editing channels ('timers.conf' was not written after a channel has been modified, which could result in errors upon the next start of VDR). - Fixed a crash when canceling a newly created timer (thanks to Thomas Schmidt for reporting this one). - Completed Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Fixed device handling in the CICAM menu in case a VDR instance was started with a specific device using the -D option (thanks to Gerald Raaf for reporting ths one). - Initializing the current channel to '1' to avoid a crash in creating a new timer in case there is no device in the system that can actually receive any channel (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell for reporting this one). - Some corrections to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg).
2003-06-01Version 1.2.0vdr-1.2.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Completed Polish language texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Added a note about NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library") to the INSTALL file (thanks to Jon Burgess for pointing this out). - Some corrections to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Officially released as version 1.2.0.
2003-05-30Version 1.2.0pre1vdr-1.2.0pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- Some corrections to the French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Fixed some missing commas in i18n.c (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos for reporting this problem). - Some corrections to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Antonio Ospite). - Fixed breaking off replay in case the user hits "Play" or "Pause" too soon after going into "Pause live video" mode (thanks to Karim Afifi for reporting ths one). - Some corrections to the Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Jordi Vilà). - Single event timers are now deleted if the recording they are doing is deleted before the timer ends. - Fixed an uninitialized variable in cDisplayChannel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed a possible access of invalid file handles in cSIProcessor::Action() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
2003-05-25Version 1.1.33vdr-1.1.33Klaus Schmidinger
- Modified handling of audio packets in cDvbPlayer for better sync with external AC3 replay (thanks to Werner Fink). - Fixed a memory leak in cNonBlockingFileReader (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed I/O handling in case an explicit controlling terminal is given (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed resume file handling in case the resume.vdr file can't be written (thanks to Gerhard Steiner). - Fixed cutting a recording if there is only a single editing mark (thanks to Ralf Klueber for reporting this one). - Fixed volume display in case a plugin has its own OSD open (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed channel switching in the EPG scanner on single device systems. - Completed the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Now switching to the channel used by the most recently started timer in case the original current channel becomes unavailable due to a recording on a different transponder. If this fails, a channel up/down switch is attempted as a fallback solution (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one, and to Hermann Gausterer for suggesting to switch to the recording channel). - Fixed cReplayControl::Show() to avoid a compiler warning in g++ 3.2.3 (thanks to Jan Ekholm for reporting this one). - Completed the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Changed the DEFAULTPRIORITY in device.c to -1, so that the primary device will be used for FTA recordings in case the CAM is connected to a non-primary device (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for reporting this one). - The cCiHandler now closes its file handle when it gets destroyed. - Checking for duplicate recordings with the same file name and disabling the second timer (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). - Fixed handling newly created timers in case they are not confirmed with "Ok" (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - It is now possible to directly delete a timer that is currently recording (thanks to Alexander Damhuis for reporting this one).
2003-05-18Version 1.1.32vdr-1.1.32Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed a faulty parameter initialization in menu.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Re-implemented the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff in cRingBuffer, since some plugins actually need this. By default the buffer does not wait; if a plugin needs the waiting functionality it can call the new SetTimeouts() function. - Moved the call to cPlugin::Start() further up in vdr.c, to make sure it gets called before trying to learn the keys (problem reported by Oliver Endriss). - No longer starting the editing process if no marks have been set (thanks to Matthias Raus for reporting this one). - Added Catalanian language texts (thanks to Marc Rovira Vall and Ramon Roca). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 16 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 16 versions for each of your texts. - Moved the detection of a broken video data stream from the cDevice into the cRecorder to avoid problems with cReceivers that want to receive from PIDs that are currently not transmitting (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting this one). - Fixed setting the locking pid after a timed wait (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding spurious section filter settings after a channel switch. - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed reading 'epg.data' for channels with non-zero RID (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed EPG bugfix statistics to avoid log entires for undefined channels (thanks to Lars Bläser for reporting this one). - No longer waiting inside cIndexFile::CatchUp() to avoid shortly blocking replay at the end of a recording.
2003-05-11Version 1.1.31vdr-1.1.31Klaus Schmidinger
- Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase (suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable. - Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz). - Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one). - Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video is actually coming from. - Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the "short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland). - Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button or the "Back" button during replay. - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow). - Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
2003-05-04Version 1.1.30vdr-1.1.30Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed minimum lifespan of deleted recordings (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques). - Fixed paging through lists with repeated Left/Right keys. - Fixed setting the PCR-PID in case it is equal to one of the other PIDs (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed double call to MainMenuAction() of a plugin if invoked via a hotkey (thanks to Kai Moeller for reporting this one). - Fixed handling dedicated keys. - Now turning off live PIDs when replaying. This avoids short spikes from other channels when switching between Transfer Mode channels, and also lets an ongoing replay continue even if a recording is started on the primary device. - The RCU channel display no longer changes when a recording on a different channel starts on the primary device. - Restoring the current channel in case a recording has switched the transponder. If all devices are busy and none of them can provide the current channel, the message "Channel not available!" will be displayed. - Removed the (no longer necessary) 'panic' stuff from cThread. - Added cStatus::OsdItem() to provide the entire list of menu items to a plugin (thanks to Carsten Siebholz). - The red ("Record") and yellow ("Pause") button in the "Main" menu are no longer available when replaying.
2003-04-27Version 1.1.29vdr-1.1.29Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the 'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions). - Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one). - Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas Schultz). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number, start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl). - Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL (suggested by Benjamin Harling). - Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen). - Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting this one). - Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds. - The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk usage (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
2003-04-21Version 1.1.28vdr-1.1.28Klaus Schmidinger
- Using masks in EIT filtering to reduce the number of filters (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed handling Ca descriptors (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Now only those Ca descriptors are sent to a CAM that are actually understood by that CAM. - Re-enabled CAM communication during replay and on non-Ca channels. This requires a DVB driver with firmware version 2613 or later. - It is now possible to do simultaneous recording and replay with a single DVB card, even with encrypted channels. This requires the use of the Link Layer firmware, version 2613 or higher; the -icam firmware is still limited to live encrypted channels only. Finally we have time shift for encrypted channels on single card systems! - Enhanced detection of pending user I/O from CAMs to avoid sluggish reaction to remote control keypresses. - Implemented "pause live video". You can now press "Menu/Yellow" or "Pause" on your remote control while watching live video to start an instant recording of the current programme and immediately start replaying that recording.
2003-04-13Version 1.1.27vdr-1.1.27Klaus Schmidinger
- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device. - The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3. - Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for helping to fix it). - Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell). - Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy Grobb for reporting this one). - Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details). - Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it). - If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device is now used as primary device (just to have some device). - Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup. - Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
2003-03-19Version 1.1.26vdr-1.1.26Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed signal handling and usleep(5000) from cDvbOsd::Cmd() (apparently this is no longer necessary with DVB driver 1.0.0pre2 or later). - If the primary device (as defined in setup.conf) doesn't have an MPEG decoder (and thus can't be used as a primary device) VDR now scans all devices at startup and uses the first one (if any) that actually has an MPEG decoder. That way this will also work automatically if the primary device is implemented by a plugin. - Fixed a possible deadlock when using the "Blue" button in the "Schedules" menu to switch to an other channel (thanks to Torsten Herz). - Fixed the EPG bugfix code number for the MAX_USEFUL_SUBTITLE_LENGTH fix (thanks to Torsten Herz for reporting this one). - Modified the EPG scanner to avoid CPU load peaks (thanks to Steffen Becker for reporting this one). - Fixed support for Viaccess CAMs (thanks to Axel Gruber for helping to debug this).
2003-02-16Version 1.1.25vdr-1.1.25Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed high CPU load during replay (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out this one). - Fixed margin handling in cRingBufferLinear. - Now polling the output device in 'Transfer Mode' and retrying to put packets into the ring buffer. - Resetting the CAM slot in case communication breaks down. - Improved keyboard detection (thanks to Werner Fink). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter). - Fixed broken support for raw OSDs of plugins (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting this one). - Broken CAM connections are now restored automatically.
2003-02-09Version 1.1.24vdr-1.1.24Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved CAM handling (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for a great deal of help in debugging this). It is now possible to insert the CAM in any of the two slots, to insert and remove it while VDR is running and even to have two CAMs inserted. - Turning SI filtering off and on when switching channels. - Timers are now processed even if an OSD menu is open (except for menus that explicitly handle timers).
2003-02-02Version 1.1.23vdr-1.1.23Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a new/delete malloc/free mismatch in ringbuffer.c (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Improved CAM handling.
2003-01-26Version 1.1.22vdr-1.1.22Klaus Schmidinger
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to Paul Gohn). - Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus. - Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load. - Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen). - Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen). - Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode' and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls. - Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange). - Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm). - Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no' were mixed up). - Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Changed EIT processing to always read a full section. - Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele). - Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.
