Schlüßler).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings
menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä);
- Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering
strings (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets".
- Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active.
- Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode.
- Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results
in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi).
- Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been
changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target
of their Makefiles.
- Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens
Kirchgatterer).
- Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after
the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer).

- Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to
Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing
subtitle handling in VDR).
- The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list
of available subtitles.
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the
preferred languages for subtitles.
- Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
- Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode.
- Implemented subtitle track selection.
- Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even
on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors.
- Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles
plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location
of the subtitles in the vertical direction.
- The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency"
define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background
color of subtitles.
- Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record
in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon
replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in
X 3 03 ger deutsch
(see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence,
so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording.
- Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily
large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with
--no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a
channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by
Denis Knauf).
- Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported
by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem
(thanks to Christian Wieninger).
- Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On'
is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo
Richter).
- Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward
trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an
example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to
Elias Luttinen).
- Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the
README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the
'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file.
Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n'
target in their Makefiles, as in
i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo)
(based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel).
- Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file
(suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn).
Same for the assign operator.
- Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn).
- Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over
both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).

- Fixed handling locale directories with a large number of entries (thanks to
Anssi Hannula).
- Updated Turkish language texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen).
- Fixed stripping the context in I18nTranslate() (reported by Christian
Wieninger).
- Fixed detecting whether a particular locale is actually supported.
- Added a note about LANG having to be set to a valid locale in INSTALL
(suggested by Matthias Fechner).
- Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.2.0 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Fixed setting the locale file name in i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias
Schwarzott).
- Changed the default for LOCDIR in Makefile and Make.config.template to
"./locale", so that internationalization works by default when running VDR
from within its source directory (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Added the new i18n macro trVDR(), which can be used by plugins to mark
texts they want to reuse from VDR's core translations (suggested by Matthias
Becker).
- VDR now uses the default configuration directory as defined in the CONFDIR
varable in the Makefile (thanks to Thomas Schmidt).
- The SVDRP command LSTC can now list the channels with group separators if the
option ':groups' is given (thanks to Andreas Mair).
- Added a missing error report to cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- There can now be more than one OSD at the same time. At any given time,
however, only one of them can be active (and thus visible). This is to
allow displaying things like subtitles in an easy way. A cOsd therefore
now has a "Level", and only the OSD with the smallest level will be
displayed. The level 0 OSD is special, and there can only be one with
this level. If there is more than one OSD with a particular level, only
the one that was created first will be displayed.
Plugins that provide an OSD need to adjust their cOsdProvider::CreateOsd()
function to hand through the Level.
- Fixed checking for ttDolbyLast in cDevice::SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).

- Added missing install-i18n to the install target in the Makefile (reported
by Joachim Wilke).
- Fixed a faulty comment in Make.config.template (reported by Marco Schlüßler).
- Improved i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Moved the "all" target in plugin Makefiles before the "Implicit rules",
so that a plain "make" will compile everything (suggested by Matthias
Schwarzott). The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly.
Plugin authors may want to change their Makefiles, too.
- Added DESTDIR and PREFIX handling to the Makefile (thanks to Matthias
Schwarzott).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added internationalization to the "skincurses" plugin (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Checking the string for NULL in I18nTranslate().
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bruno Roussel).
- Some optimizations in cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Optimized cMenuEditChrItem::Set() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Optimized cNitFilter::Process() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Reduced the number of time(NULL) calls in vdr.c's main loop to a single call
(thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Changed cBitmap::DrawText() to always draw the background unless ColorBg
is clrTransparent (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- The "Setup/OSD/Language" menu now only shows those languages that actually
have a locale (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Now using setenv() instead of setlocale() to set the language for gettext()
(suggested by Anssi Hannula; thanks also to Ludwig Nussel for a hint on using
_nl_msg_cat_cntr).
- When scanning the locale directory, VDR now explicitly looks for a file named
vdr.mo. Text files for plugins are now named "vdr-name.mo", when "name" is the
name of the plugin. The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly, and
plugin authors should change their Makefiles, too.

- All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and
debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to
find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in
the past.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace()
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting
Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder).
- Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by
Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script
'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext
format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function
cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't
have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to
the gettext format will only present English texts.
See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how
to make strings in arrays translatable.
See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing
translations.
- The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and
each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name
to the code.
- The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section
for i18n support.
- The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale
code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not
set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the
locale as defined in the system environment is used by default.
- The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated,
so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the
one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to
Alexander Rieger).
- Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license
information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by
Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same.
- Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville
Skyttä).
- cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to
avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas
Mair).
- Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still
attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).

- Fixed a buffer overflow in initializing the system character table (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed handling single byte characters >0x7F in Utf8ToArray() (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Improved numdigits(), isnumber() and strreplace() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Fixed clearing color buttons in the 'curses' skin (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed a typo in the function name of cOsd::SetOsdPosition() and added a range
check to it (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Improved cControl::Launch() to keep 'control' from pointing to uninitialized
memory (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Made skipspace() an inline function (suggested by Tobias Bratfisch) and changed
it to handle the most common case of 'no leading space' very fast, and avoid
calling isspace(), which made the whole function a lot faster.
- Fixed detection of Premiere NVOD channel links (thanks to Markus Hahn).
- Added a table of the used trick speed values to the description of
cDevice::TrickSpeed() (suggested by Martin Dauskardt).
- Added a missing 'P' to vdr.c's SHUTDOWNCANCELROMPT macro (reported by Marco
Schlüßler).

- Fixed a name clash between skincurses.c and the new cOsd position functions.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed the parameter "OSD font size" to "Default font size" in "Setup/OSD".
- Fixed handling address masks in SVDRP host settings (thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Fonts can now be created with a width that overwrites the default width (thanks
to Andreas Mair).
- Added full weekday names to i18n.c for plugins to use (thanks to Patrice Staudt).
The new function WeekDayNameFull() can be used to get these names from integer
values (just like the abbreviated weekday names).
- Fixed stripping i18n stuff from font names (reported by Anssi Hannula).
- Improved performance of the SVDRP commands LSTC and CHAN when used with a
channel name.
|
|
- Increased APIVERSION (forgot to do that in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3).
- Fixed a crash in i18n character set conversion (thanks to Alexander Riedel,
Jose Alberto Reguero and Christian Wieninger for patches that cured part of
the problem).
- Adjusted the 'skincurses' plugin to UTF-8 handling.
- Using nl_langinfo(CODESET) to determine the local codeset to use (thanks to
Thomas Günther). The codeset names in 'libsi/si.c' have been changed to the
canonical spelling with '-' (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out).
- Modified handling invalid characters in VFAT mode.
- Replaced strn0cpy() with Utf8Strn0Cpy() where necessary.
- Now using 'fontconfig' to determine which fonts to use (thanks to Anssi Hannula
for code and hints on how to do this).
- If no fonts are installed, VDR now uses a dummy font that doesn't actually draw
any text, and logs an error message.
- The new function cFont::CreateFont() can be used by plugins to create and use
fonts of their own, independent of VDR's standard fonts.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed the parameter "OSD font" to "Default font" in "Setup/OSD" (suggested
by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling detached processes in SystemExec() (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The info.vdr file now also stores the name of the channel, and the new function
cRecordingInfo::ChannelName() returns this information if available (based on
a patch from Alexander Hans).
- The new function cOsd::SetOsdPosition() can be used to dynamically change the
position and size of the OSD (based on a request from Christoph Haubrich).
Plugins that implement skins should no longer use Setup.OSDWidth etc. directly,
but should rather use cOsd::OsdWidth() etc. instead.
Currently a change to the OSD position will only apply to newly opened OSDs.

- Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks
to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and
on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof
Parma and Helmut Auer).
- Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt
CAM's version 3.11 firmware.
- Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel).
The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu.
Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype.
- If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also
used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased".
The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off.
- The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD
in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing.
Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number
of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will
then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors
combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of
10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed.
- The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source.
- VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character
encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and
incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding.
- Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8
encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in
memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle
strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding
(see tools.h for details).
- Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8
characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still
use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled
correctly between systems with different character encodings.
- Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts.
- Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area.
- Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect
when the "Ok" key is pressed.

- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling user activity for shutdown, which I had messed when adopting Udo's
original patch (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Added Turkish language texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen).
- Added missing rules for generating iso8859-13 font to Makefile.
- 'libsi' now converts the incoming strings into the system's character set
according to the DVB standard. The system's character set is determined from
the LANG environment variable. If no recognizable setting can be found, no
conversion will take place. Note that currently only the strings received from the
SI data stream are converted, there have not been any changes regarding displaying
UTF-8 characters on the OSD, yet - this will follow in one of the next steps.
With this conversion, it should now be safe to run VDR on a UTF-8 file system,
because all incoming characters are converted to UTF-8. This will most likely
result in wrong characters being displayed on the OSD (because there UTF-8 is
not known, yet), but the file names should be ok (haven't tested this myself,
though, because I don't do UTF-8 - so please be very careful when testing!).
There's one piece of bad news here: the German pay-tv broadcaster Premiere
apparently encodes all EPG strings as ISO8859-1, but fails to correctly mark
these strings as such. Therefore 'libsi' (following the DVB standard) considers
the strings to be encoded in the default ISO6937 and converts them to whatever
the system's character set is. This, of course, results in wrong umlauts.
On its old transponder, the ProSieben/SAT.1 channels also had their EPG data
wrongly encoded, but apparently on the new transponder they started broadcasting
on this month, they got it right.

- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided
when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget
DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin).
- Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems
with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache).
- Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich).
- Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake
up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit().
- Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed
to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes"
text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been
renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config
parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to
remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file.
- Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a
discussion with Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time
since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered
complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this
parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will
have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key.
|
|
- The CAM handling has been refactored. Instead of a cCiHandler per device there
is now an abstract cCiAdapter and a cCamSlot. This allows each slot to be
accessed individually.
- The general 15 seconds workaround time before opening the CAM menu has been
removed. If the CAM menu doesn't open within a timeout, the enter menu command
is now sent again.
- If a CAM is reset or pulled and reinserted, it now automatically starts
decrypting the current channel again.
- The Setup/CAM menu now dynamically refreshes its items and displays whether
a CAM is present or ready. The 'Reset' function no longer leaves the menu.
- The CAM menu will now be openend when pressing the Ok key on a slot entry.
- The CAM menu now stays within the current menu context and doesn't close and
reopen the menu every time an option is selected.
- When an encrypted channel is switched to for the first time, VDR now checks
explicitly whether a CAM can actually decrypt that channel. If there is more
than one CAM in the system that claims to be able to decrypt the channel,
they are all tried in turn.
To make this possible, an encrypted channel needs to be received in Transfer
Mode when it is switched to for the first time, so that VDR can determine
whether the TS packets are actually decrypted. Once a channel is known to
be decrypted by a particular CAM, the next time it is switched to it will
be shown in normal live viewing mode.
- A cDevice now automatically detaches all cReceiver objects that receive PIDs
that can't be decrypted with the current CAM. A plugin that attaches a cReceiver
to a device should therefore watch the receiver's IsAttached() function to
see if it is still attached to the device.
- The cReceiver constructor no longer takes an 'int Ca' as its first parameter,
but rather a 'tChannelID ChannelID'. This is necessary for the device to be
able to determine which CAM a particular channel can be decrypted with. If the
channel is known to be unencrypted, or a plugin doesn't want to provide the
channel id for other reasons, an invalid tChannelID() can be given.
- The cThread::Start() function now waits until a previous incarnation of this
thread has actually stopped. Before this it could happen that a thread's
Cancel(-1) function was called and immediately after that it was started again,
but the Start() function still found it to be 'active'.
- The parameter NeedsDetachReceivers in cDevice::GetDevice(const cChannel *Channel, ...)
has been removed. A call to this function will automatically detach all receivers
from the device if it returns a non-NULL pointer.
- The cTimeMs class now accepts an initial timeout value in its constructor.
- A CAM is now explicitly instructed to stop decrypting when switching away from
an encrypted channel.
- If the CAM in use can decrypt several channels at the same time, VDR can
now make use if this capability. Whether or not a CAM can decrypt more
than one channel is determined by sending it an initial empty QUERY command
and testing whether it replies to it.
- Ca values in the range 0...F in channels.conf can still be used to assign a channel
to a particular device, but this will no longer work with encrypted channels because
without valid CA ids VDR can't decide which CAM slot to use. However, since VDR now
automatically determines which CAM can decrypt which channel, setting fixed
channel/device relations should no longer be necessary.
IF AN ENCRYPTED CHANNEL CAN'T BE DECRYPTED AND YOU HAVE A CA VALUE IN THE RANGE
0...F FOR THAT CHANNEL, SET IT TO 0 (FTA) AND TUNE TO THE CHANNEL AGAIN.

- Official release.
|
|
- Fixed a possible segfault if VDR gets terminated while a message is displayed
(thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed the INSTALL section on retrying shutdown later (reported by Udo Richter).
- When entering text via the numeric keys, the characters are now checked against
the allowed characters (thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Added a missing break statement in cCiHandler::OpenSession().
|
|
- Added '#include <stdint.h>' to font.h (reported by Peter Pinnau).
- Added a compatibility define for 'uint64' to tools.h, so that existing
plugins don't need to be modified immediately (reported by Suur Karu).
This will be removed in version 1.5.
|
|
- Some improvements to the man pages (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a possible segfault in cSkins::Message() (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Made the getskyepg.pl script of the 'sky' plugin send a user agent message to
the server, according to the rules at http://bleb.org/tv/data/listings.
If your version of 'wget' doesn't support the -U option to set the user agent,
use the new option -U of getskyepg.pl to have the information added to the URL
as a query string.
- The getskyepg.pl script now replaces "&" with "&".
- Fixed a possible crash in remux.c on 64-bit machines (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a typo in the change to the "Use small font" setup option in version 1.3.47
in the HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS file (reported by Andreas Brugger).
- Added a missing 'const' to cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() (reported by Andreas
Brugger). This required the APIVERSION to be increased, so plugins will have to
be recompiled.
- Now calling cPluginManager::Active() only if VDR is really trying to shut down,
and waiting for 5 minutes before calling it again (thanks to Jörg Wendel for
reporting that cPlugin::Active() was called too often, and to Udo Richter for
some hints on how to improve this).
- Replaced 'unsigned long' with 'uint32_t' and 'uint64' with 'uint64_t' to
avoid problems on 64-bit machines.
|
|
- Fixed displaying the replay mode symbol in case of "Multi speed mode" (reported
by Marco Schlüßler).
|
|
- Fixed deleting EPG events that have a running status of "pausing" or higher.
- Fixed handling NITs with more than one delivery system descriptor tag for the
same transponder.
|
|
- Fixed setting audio track descriptions after a replay has been stopped (reported
by Ulf Kiener, thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out what caused the problem).
|
|
- Fixed clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description in case the data comes
from an external source.
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Guido Josten).
- Fixed a possible crash if cPluginManager::GetPlugin() is called with a NULL
pointer (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed displaying the error log message in case an unknown plugin was requested
in a key macro (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Keys from expanded key macros are now put into the front of the key queue to
avoid problems if the queue is not empty at that time (based on a patch from
Petri Hintukainen).
- cKeyMacro now has an explicit counter for the number of keys it contains.
- cRemote::PutMacro() now sets a lock while it expands the macro (thanks to
Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed handling plugins from cRemote::PutMacro() and cRemote::CallPlugin()
(based on a patch from Petri Hintukainen).
- Increased the size of the key queue to avoid problems with long key macros.
|
|
- The function cThread::Cancel() now only sets 'running' to false and does not
actually kill the thread if the special value -1 is given (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Changed the I18nNormalizeLanguageCode() check to also allow blanks (and all other
printable characters) in the language codes (thanks to Boguslaw Juza for reporting
that there are stations that use blanks in these codes). Blanks are replaced with
underlines, so that all parts of VDR that rely on language codes to be one word
(without blanks) work as expected.
- Now clearing an event's Title, ShortText and Description if there is no
ShortEventDescriptor or ExtendedEventDescriptor, respectively (thanks to Boguslaw
Juza for reporting that events without an ExtendedEventDescriptor may get
duplicate information in their ShortText through the EPG bugfixes in case they
are received again).
- Fixed handling video directory updates in case an other process has touched the
.update file after the last NeedsUpdate() check (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed handling language codes and descriptions of recorded audio tracks on channels
with multiple tracks where not all of them appear in the event data (reported by
Boguslaw Juza).
|
|
- Official release.
|
|
- Added --remove-destination to the 'cp' command for binaries in the Makefiles of
the plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The 'skincurses' plugin now adjusts the size of the OSD to the size of the console
window.
- Fixed deleting expired VPS timers (under certain conditions a timer could have been
deleted before it even started recording).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten).
- Fixed handling video directory updates in case the timestamp of the .update file
is in the future (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
|
|
- Fixed cTimer::operator=() in case a cTimer variable is assigned to itself (thanks
to Alexander Rieger).
- Implemented a copy constructor for cTimer (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting that
an assignment in svdrp.c didn't use the cTimer::operator=()).
|
|
- Added LC_ALL to the checks for UTF-8 at startup (suggested by Matthias Schwarzott).
- Fixed the cTimer::operator=() so that it won't mess up the cListObject's pointers
(reported by Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed a memory leak in the cTimer::operator=() when using the 'aux' string
(reported by Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed processing the PDCDescriptor in 'libsi' on big endian systems (thanks to
Martin Ostermann).
- Fixed handling relative volume settings that unmute the audio in the call to
cStatus::MsgSetVolume() (reported by Oliver Endriss).
|
|
- Revoked the change to cDevice::GetDevice() that was introduced in version 1.4.1-2,
which made it prefer any device that's already receiving and doesn't require
detatching receivers. This change has caused some unwanted behavior, so further
testing is necessary.
|
|
- Replaced the "quick workaround for additional live audio PIDs" in
cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() with an actual solution in
cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() in order to prevent sticky PIDs in CAMs,
which caused long switching times or completely blank screens when switching
between encrypted channels on the same transponder (reported by Tomas Berglund).
- Adapted cThread::ThreadId() to recent kernels (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added --remove-destination to the 'cp' command for binaries in the Makefile to
avoid a crash in case a new version is installed on a running system (suggested
by Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed handling "Ca Info" in case the CAM sends this again if the smart card is
replaced with a different one.
|
|
- Fixed converting the port number in the "connect from..." log message of SVDRP
(thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Made the cCiSession members sessionId and resourceId uint16_t and uint32_t,
respectively, to match their types in the CI session data (thanks to Ville Skyttä
for reporting that there are places where ntohs() is assigned to different types).
- Changed the way a device is selected for receiving in order to keep devices with
CAMs better available, even if this means recording on the primary device (reported
by Jörn Reder; thanks to Anssi Hannula for improving handling Transfer Mode devices
in this).
- No longer stopping removing empty directories if an error occurs (thanks to
Oliver Endriss).
- Added a log error message to cPlugin::ConfigDirectory() in case a plugin calls it
from a separate thread (reported by Udo Richter).
|
|
- Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information
(thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks
to Udo Richter).
- The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished
in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2).
- Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a
time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording,
or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min.
event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the
reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is
"Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future.
- Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with
a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.
|
|
- Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the
PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when
compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher).
Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN
macro, even if it doesn't use it itself!
- Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script.
- Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter).
- Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
in case they are added after the current event.
- cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is
true.
- Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only
after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description.
- Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick
Maier).
- Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
(reported by Norbert Wentz).
- Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed
some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank
Schmirler).
- cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't
require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups
(thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they
have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is
only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to
scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.
|
|
- Added "-fPIC" to the compiler options in Make.config.template when compiling
plugins (thanks to Udo Richter). If you use your own Make.config file, you may
want to add these lines there, too.
- Added some comment to cDevice::GetDevice() to explain how the individual
conditions are put together to make a decision on which device to use.
- Updated 'S13E' in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Antti Hartikainen).
- Now making sure VPS timers don't get stuck with outdated events, and that the
actual device isn't used for updating a VPS timer's event as long as other
free devices are available.
- Modified rcu.c to better handle RC5 codes.
- Added a missing variable initialization in cRingBufferLinear::cRingBufferLinear()
(thanks to Prakash Punnoor).
- Fixed handling relative link targets in the ReadLink() function (reported by
Patrick Cernko).
- Now making sure a VPS timer has a schedule in case the epg.data file didn't
contain one when VDR was started.
|
|
- Changed the log messages when grabbing an image from 'isyslog()' to 'dsyslog()'
so that they can be suppressed in normal operation mode to avoid clogging the
log file in case this function is used frequently (suggested by Helmut Auer).
|
|
- Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased
the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled.
- Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c,
because it caused a compiler warning with post-2.4 glibc (reported by Ville Skyttä).
Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was
presumably a NOP, anyway.
- Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional
plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer).
- Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the
SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well.
- Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?"
menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30
seconds won't be shown as "running".
- Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'.
- Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the
'skincurses' plugin).
- When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses'
skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so
that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously
selected skin will be used again.
- Added some log messages when setting the current skin.
- Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first
attempt has failed.
- Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts
(if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA
descriptors before the actual recording starts.
|
|
- Removed leftover LSMOD=... line from 'runvdr'.
- Modified the Makefile to copy additional libraries a plugin might provide (suggested
by Wayne Keer). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode when replaying Dolby Digital audio and the option
'-a' was given (based on a patch from Werner Fink). To avoid having to increment
the API version, several #if checks have been introduced around this. These will
be removed once the API version actually needs to be incremented.
- Fixed deleting the 'skinDescriptions' in cMenuSetupOSD::~cMenuSetupOSD() (thanks
to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed calculating the start time of repeated timers with "first day" (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Now setting a timer's cached start time to 0 after a call to Skip() (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events in case the "Schedule" menu is
currently open (i.e. a write lock on the schedules data can't be achieved).
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the EPG event hasn't been 'seen' in a while.
- Fixed calculating the cache size in cUnbufferedFile::Read() (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Removed -fPIC from VDR's and libsi's Makefile (suggested by Prakash Punnoor).
- Modifed the device selection to better handle timer conflicts (reported by
Christian Wieninger).
- Avoiding a compiler warning in libsi's TypeLoop::operator[].
- Now processing the "frequency list descriptor" (based on a patch from Anssi Hannula).
- Improved the repeat function for LIRC remote controls (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed moving channels, which sometimes stopped the current replay session
(reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Fixed deleting channels in case the current channel's number changes (reported
by Mirko Dölle).
|
|
- Updated 'S110W' in 'sources.conf'.
- Adjusted the 'runvdr' script so that the user can fill in the functions to
detect, load and unload the necessary driver modules (thanks to M. Kiesel for
reporting that it still used DVBDIR).
- Added 'eval' to the $VDRCMD call in 'runvdr' to avoid problems with quoting
(suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed missing ',' in the Italian and Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marko Mäkelä).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a timer is about to start recording
(thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed the character 'r' in fontosd and fontsml for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír
Bárta).
- When checking whether a VPS timer has entered the "VPS margin", the event's start
time is now used instead of the timer's start time, because otherwise events that
start way off of their VPS time wouldn't be recorded correctly.
- If VPS timers are active, their events are now being kept up to date if there
are any free devices available.
- Fixed the character #207 in fontosd for iso8859-2 (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
- Fixed handling unknown codes when learning LIRC remote control codes (reported
by Helmut Auer).
- Since some channels (especially the Austrian ORF) randomly change the ids of their
EPG events, VDR now gives the start time precedence when searching for existing
events.
- Fixed automatically updating the CAM menu in case the whole operation (for
instance a firmware update) takes longer than the menu timeout.
|
|
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case a recording is going on and no plugin
is active (thanks to Udo Richter; bug reported by Dominique Simon).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed a memory leak in handling external EPG data (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed a memory leak in closing the video file during replay (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino and Antonio Ospite).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
|
|
- Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by
Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed'
expression).
- Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino).
- Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing
Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger).
- Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key
(reported by Werner Färber).
- Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in
case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is
mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb).
- Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in
menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description
of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans).
- Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device.
|
|
- Updated the GPL copies (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active().
- Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single
'sed' call.
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the
current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch).
- Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile
(based on a suggestion by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems
(thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out
that the 'z' modifier should be used here).
- Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string
input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).
|
|
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the
new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther).
- Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren
Salt).
- Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem.
- Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported
by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey().
- Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to
Richard Lithvall).
- Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag
and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by
Tobias Grimm).
- Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt).
- Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon
request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv).
- The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay.
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it
is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch
from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with
no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz).
- In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header
files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR
Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location
other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config
file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your
own, you should add the lines
ifdef DVBDIR
INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include
endif
to its end, as in the new Make.config.template.
Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this:

- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).
See MANUAL for details.
- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to
allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this
version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because
the values have been shifted.
- The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be
used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the
VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should
have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this:

- If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is
already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes
directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further
changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by
Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin).
- Added format check to syslog_with_tid().
- Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory
(since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog
timer won't hit).
- Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small
font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny
Kornexl).
- No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in
recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem
with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged
with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is
no need to actually rename them.
- The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells
the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by
Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending
and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command
PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails.
- The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform
actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great
care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.
|
|
- Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how
to detect these).
- Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti).
- Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E'
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff).
- Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which
was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem.
- VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time.
This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the
same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks).
- When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are
now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than
one VPS timer is about to start.
- Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the
margin.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the
timer's transponder.
- Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer
Mode for live tv isn't interrupted.
- Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message
now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have
not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of
a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the
minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected,
respectively.
- The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous"
menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil).
- When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches
back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or
--version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter).
- Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem()
(reported by Joachim Wilke).
|
|
- Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu.
- Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers.
- cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the
given min and max limits.
- The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers.
- Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to
Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help").
- Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to
Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false
(thanks to Werner Fink).
- Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
- Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been
deleted (reported by Hardy Flor).
- Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of
disk space (reported by Jan Lenz).
- Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early).
- Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer.
- Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it
then returns the one that just ended).
- Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed
(reported by Helmut Auer).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker).
- Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Enhanced logging EPG event data.
- Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt).
- The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary
device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data'
or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events.
- The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning
for events before the present event.
- Fixed some #include sequences.
- Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated
EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning.
- The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds.
|
|
- Fixed setting the audio language codes in 'Transfer-Mode' (reported by Rolf
Ahrenberg). The actual problem was the call to the Transferring() function in
cDevice::AttachPlayer() before assigning the player.
- Fixed removing the '-' when entering a channel number where there is no other
one that fits the input (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- Fixed the 'libsi' function CharArray::checkSize(), which made a previous workaround
in libsi/descriptor.c obsolete (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- The "Ok" key in the "Jump" mode of the replay progress display now confirms the
jump instead of closing the display (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- The 'summary' field of a timer definition has been renamed to 'aux', and is now
only used for external applications to store auxiliary information with a timer,
which has no meaning whatsoever to VDR itself.
The contents of the 'aux' field of a timer is copied into the recording's
'info.vdr' file, using the tag character '@'.
- The description of a recording is now taken exclusively from its related EPG
data. If an application wants to use a different description it needs to set
it with SVDRP/PUTE and use table ID 0x00, so that it won't be overwritten (as
a side effect, however, this also disables VPS for such an event).
- There is no more "Summary" menu when pressing "Ok" in the "Timers" menu.
The "Ok" key now always opens the "Edit timer" menu.
- The upper 16 bit of a timer's "flags" are no longer treated specially when a timer
is modified in the "Edit timer" menu. If an external application needs to know if
a timer was modified, it has to keep a copy of the timer's data and compare that
to the actual data.
- The new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() can be used to retrieve the ID of
the channel a recording was made from.
- The 'info.vdr' file of a recording now also contains the 'E' and 'V' records of
the EPG event used when creating it.
- The option "Setup/OSD/Sort timers" has been removed. Timers are always sorted
by their start time and priority.
- The "Blue" key in the "Timers" menu now displays the EPG info of the event the
selected timer will record (if available). The "On/Off" function has been shifted
to the "Red" button. Editing a timer is done by pressing "Ok".
- When determining which event a timer is going to record, all available events
in the future are now taken into account (no more limit to 4 hours in the
future). This has been done so that the event info is available in the "Timers"
menu when pressing the "Blue" button. In order to avoid unnecessary work, each
timer now has its own timestamp to control whether its schedule has changed
since the last time its event has been set.
- Fixed setting events to timers in case a non-VPS event has expired.
- There is now a log message "timer ... set to event ..." when defining a timer
from the EPG menu.
- Lines tagged with '#' in the 'info.vdr' file of a recording are now silently
ignored when reading that file (suggested by Peter Bieringer). Such lines can
be used by external tools to store arbitrary information.
- The 'event id' in EPG data has been extended to 32 bit, so that external tools
can generate ids that don't collide with those from the DVB data stream
(suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- The DrawBitmap() function now has a new parameter 'Overlay' that allows a bitmap
to be drawn with a transparent background (thanks to Alexander Hans).
- Fixed cSchedule::GetFollowingEvent() in case there is currently no present event
running (thanks to Pekka Mauno).

|
- Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur
Skawina).
- The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a
string item (suggested by Markus Hahn).
- Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of
symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch
from Helmut Auer).
- Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested
by Marco Schlüßler).
- cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts.
- Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein).
- Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that
overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of
'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid
data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete()
so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0.
- Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys
exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of
two codes, separated by '+'.
- If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel,
the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the
channel's PID data.
- Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component
descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions
are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set
in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code
information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken.
- Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original"
network id.
|
|
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
(reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
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 21
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
(reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
(reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
|
|
- EPG events from epg.data or SVDRP's PUTE command now have their Title set to
"No Title" if none was set.
- Fixed checking toFile in cCuttingThread::Action() (found in a larger patch from
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a crash when pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu on a channel that doesn't
have any EPG data (reported ny Alexander Hans).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed handling the tfRecording flag when reading timers (bug reported by Andreas
Mair).
- Now checking whether the channel exists before setting the PMT filter in
cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Now trying to reestablish the connection to the LIRC daemon in case it breaks
(thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed channel switching with the Down (Up) key in case the current channel is
already the first (last) in the list (reported by Frank Krömmelbein).
- Removed the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode - it's no longer necessary with
recent driver/firmware versions.
- The epg.data file is now written when VDR exits (suggested by Daniel Karsubka).
- Fixed cTimers::GetNextActiveTimer() so that it won't return an expired timer
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed DVBS_TUNE_TIMEOUT and DVBC_TUNE_TIMEOUT to 9000ms to avoid problems with
channels that have low symbol rates (reported by Suur Karu).
- Fixed displaying the current audio track in the channel display.
- When reading epg.data (or data from PUTE), the version number of events with
table IDs smaller than 0x50 is now ignored because otherwise the current
running status would not be set after a restart of VDR.
- Implemented a timeout for remote controls that don't deliver "repeat" keypresses
very fast (based on a suggestion by Luca Olivetti; problem with the new handling
of k_Repeat keypresses in channel switching reported by Udo Richter).
- When looking for the present or following EPG event, the running status is now
always taken into account.
- Now initializing the channels' schedule pointers when reading the epg.data file,
so that the first WhatsOn menu will come up faster.
- If a shutdown is requested, but the shutdown script doesn't actually halt the
system, it is now tried again after 5 minutes (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Separated the 'install' target into several individual targets; renamed the
'plugins-install' target to 'install-plugins' (thanks to Helmut Auer).
|
|
- Fixed a second place where a message should be given when an instant recording
is started (reported by Jesus Bravo Alvarez).
- Modified logging so that even on NPTL systems each line in the log file shows
the individual thread's pid (based on a suggestion from Francois-Xavier Kowalski).
- Fixed a problem with @plugin in keymacros.conf in case the named plugin is not
loaded (reported by Franz Gangkofer).
- Fixed a crash after executing the SVDRP command CLRE, caused by dangling 'schedule'
pointers from cChannel objects (reported by Malte Schröder).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Improved NULL checking in strreplace().
- Fixed a crash in the Schedule menu with events that have no title (reported by
Rolf Ahrenberg). cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now assigns a "No title" string to events
that have no title.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Recordings are now only started if there is at least 300MB free disk space
(suggested by Markus Hahn).
- When entering text via the numeric keys, the cursor now automatically advances
(based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts and the fontosd-iso8859-2.c file (thanks to Jaroslaw
Swierczynski).
- Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you
really need it - it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are
experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and
firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card).
- Switching channels with the Up/Down or Channel+/Channel- keys now works a lot
faster when the repeat function kicks in, by not actually switching the
channel every time, but rather only displaying the channel info and doing
the final switch when the key is released.
- The channel display is now updated _before_ the channel is switched.
- Added a missing initialization of 'timeout' in the cDisplayChannel constructor.
- Fixed detecting if there can be any useful further input when entering channel
numbers (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Jesus Bravo Alvarez).
- Fixed handling the '0' key for switching between the last two channels (thanks
to Thomas Bergwinkl).
|
|
- The SVDRP command LSTT now accepts the new option 'id' to have the channels
of the timers listed with their unique channel ids instead of their numbers
(suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Added a missing #include <linux/unistd.h> to thread.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed the "plugins-clean" and "plugins-install" targets in the Makefile (thanks
to Andreas Brachold).
- Fixed handling "more than 3 byte" key sequences in cKbdRemote::ReadKeySequence()
(thanks to Peter Bieringer). If you are using the PC keyboard as remote control
input you may need to make VDR newly learn the keys by removing the remote.conf
file.
- To avoid problems with access rights when VDR shall run as 'root' it now skips
all SetCaps() and SetUser() calls when it is started as 'root' and "-u root"
is given.
- Added missing i18n entry for the "Timer" button (thanks to Ville Skyttä)
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Making the "Menu" key behave consistently has not been well received by several
users, so the new option "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" can be used to get the
old behavior back (which also is the default value of this option).
- Dropped the default vdr user. The program now always runs under the user id
it was started from, unless the '-u' option is given and it was started from
the 'root' user. If you want to have a default vdr user, you can activate and
adjust the "VDR_USER = vdr" line in your Make.config file (from the original
patch by Ludwig Nussel).
- Key macros can now be defined for all non-modeless keys (suggested by Mirko Dölle).
- Adjusted the "KEY MACROS" section of vdr.5 to the new plugin calling mechanism
introduced in version 1.3.32.
- Removed the now obsolete "ca.conf" section from vdr.1 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added missing description of L and R circular polarization to 'diseqc.conf'.
- Added a note about "modprobe capability" to INSTALL (suggested by Patrick Cernko).
- Fixed canonicalizing the file name in the SVDRP command GRAB to allow full path
names (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a missing '-' to the example for viewing a grabbed image on a remote host
(reported by Philippe Gramoullé).
- Made the "What's on now/next?" menus a lot faster by storing a pointer to each
channel's schedule in the cChannel data.
- Made the log messages regarding lost lock of devices "info" instead of "error"
(suggested by Andreas Brachold).
- The SVDRP command GRAB allows file names without extension again (suggested by
Stefan Huelswitt).
- Pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu now rotates through displaying "This event on
this channel", "This event on all channels" and "All events on all channels".
This can be used to find reruns of a given show, or the episodes of a series.
Note that if there are many channels in your channels.conf, displaying the
"All events on all channels" page may take a while.
- The status markers in the "Schedule" menu are now only updated if a submenu is
closed in which a timer has been modified, which speeds up closing submenus.
- Now only writing Dolby Digital tracks into the 'info.vdr' file of a recording
if Setup.UseDolbyDigital is true (suggested by André Weidemann).
- Added a leading '0' to the day in the DayDateTime() function (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- No longer displaying color buttons in the recording info menu if it has been
invoked from a player (reported by Jürgen Schilling).
|
|
- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
(was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
actually removing it.
The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
(thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
(encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:
svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -
- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
'/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
Peña):
+ The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
(suggested by Darren Salt).
+ The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
+ Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
(suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
//#define USE_FADVISE
in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.
|
|
- Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a
repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too
language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions.
- Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver
and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks
to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a
LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will
use Transfer Mode just like before.
- Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply
data of AlphaCrypt CAMs).
- Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from
the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted
channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress
and isn't actively used, yet.
- Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported
by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator
(thanks to Holger Brunn).
- The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread
to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details.
- The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG
commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed
(no more "pending message").
|
|
- Fixed a NULL pointer access with the cUnbufferedFile when a replay session runs
all the way until the end of the recording (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- A menu is no longer automatically closed when a replay ends (reported by
Marko Mäkelä).
- Removed '\n' from several syslog() calls (reported by Sascha Volkenandt).
- Fixed missing '&' in the SetAreas() example in PLUGINS.html (reported by
Sascha Volkenandt).
- Fixed a memory leak in cString::operator=() (reported by Sascha Volkenandt).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Maarten Wisse).
- cReadLine now dynamically allocates its buffer, so that it can handle lines
of any length.
- Changed cConfig::Load() to use cReadLine instead of a fixed buffer (thanks
to Andreas Mair for reporting a problem with extremely long summary fields
in timers).
- cSVDRP now dynamically allocates its command buffer in order to handle
commands of any length. The MAXPARSEBUFFER macro is now obsolete and has
been removed. If a plugin has used that macro, it should either define
a buffer size of its own, or use cReadLine when reading files.
- Fixed a race condition in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The EPG scan no longer disturbs players that have also set live PIDs
(reported by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed setting the help key display in the Recordings menu in case of several
layers of subdirectories.
- Removed EPG bugfix #0, because it removed actually important data.
