2008-03-23Version 1.6.0vdr-1.6.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Croatian language texts (thanks to Adrian Caval). - Added Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng). - Updated the Portuguese language texts. - Added a note about VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to the INSTALL file.
2008-03-16Version 1.5.18vdr-1.5.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Added a missing reset of maxNumber in cChannels::Renumber() (reported by Sundararaj Reel). - Revoked the fixed change of the default character set for SI data and introduced an environment variable to control it (thanks to Ales Jurik for reporting broken SI data on the Czech/Slovak channels, which actually do follow the standard). Users who want to set the default character set to something different can do this by setting the environment variable VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to something like ISO-8859-9. - Fixed a signed character used as index in cBase64Encoder::NextLine() (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Spanish and Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Fixed automatically selecting the preferred subtitle language (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Fixed formatting the name section in the VDR man pages (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Magnus Andersson). - Added Russian translations to the 'skincurses' and 'pictures' plugins (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Fixed displaying the free disk space when entering the recordings menu where the last replayed recording was in a subdirectory, and pressing Back (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed tuning to a live channel after a recording has been stopped using the 'Back' key. - Resetting a timer's 'pending' flag when it has ended.
2008-03-02Version 1.5.17vdr-1.5.17Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Berglund). - Made the 'pic2mpg' script of the 'pictures' plugin work with uppercase filename extensions and relative paths (thanks to Stefan Wagner for reporting this one). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Johan Schuring). - Stripping control codes 0x86 and 0x87 from SI strings. - Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Fixed handling 3 and 4 byte UTF-8 symbols in Utf8CharGet() (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Fixed a crash in cFreetypeFont::DrawText() if an unknown symbol is encountered (thanks to Tobias Grimm). Unknown symbols are replaced with a '?'. - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta and Jiri Dobry). - Updated the Turkish OSD texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen). - The 'plugins' target in the Makefile now returns an error exit code if one of the plugins failed to compile (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Rendering the non-breaking space symbol as a blank (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Changed the default character set for SI data from ISO6937 (as required by the DVB standard ETSI EN 300 468) to ISO-8859-9, in order to work around the stupidity of some providers, who actually use ISO-8859-9, but fail to correctly announce that.
2008-02-24Version 1.5.16vdr-1.5.16Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed setting the current subtitle track in Transfer-Mode (reported by Petri Helin, thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing out that cDevice::Transferring() doesn't return the right value in the early stage of channel switching). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse). - Fixed various spelling errors and improved PLUGINS.html (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed the format in cRemote::Put() to use "%016llX" instead of "%016LX" (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Revised the fix of calculating the scrollbar height in the skins. The scrollbar handle now always has a height that is at least the width of the scrollbar. - When switching the device that's used for live viewing away from the current transponder in favor of an upcoming recording, an attempt is now made to stay on the current channel by possibly going into 'Transfer Mode'. - The CAM menu now stays open as long as it is automatically updated, even without pressing a remote control key. This is important when updating the CAM firmware from the transponder. - No longer trying to switch to an available channel if the primary device has no valid programme and a menu is open (avoids interference with the CAM in case a CAM menu is open). - Increased the valid range of the "Subtitle offset" setup option to -100...100 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the backslash ('\') to the list of characters that need to be escaped when executing external commands (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one).
2008-02-17Version 1.5.15vdr-1.5.15Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types. - Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear in version 1.7.0. Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters. - Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse). - Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on a suggestion by Martin Wache). - Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin. - Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay, to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola). - The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()). - Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins, to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Walter Koch). - Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because it applies to non-VPS recordings as well. - Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT. - Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load(). - Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe) avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay. - Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with --vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter. - When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed) recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory) are no longer taken into account. - When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s). This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems, which would not add any free space to the video directory. - Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers (based on a patch from Benedikt Elser). - Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin. - Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin. - Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*() should be used. - Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins.
2008-01-27Version 1.5.14vdr-1.5.14Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed the Play function in the pictures plugin. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Makefile of the skincurses plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new option --localedir can be used to set the locale directory at runtime (based on a patch from Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed finding new transponders (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Implemented handling of DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler and Reinhard Nissl for a patch that was used to implement this). VDR now requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto. - Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes a while for the CAM to start decrypting.
2008-01-13Version 1.5.13vdr-1.5.13Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason. - The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay. - cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen). - Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear(). - Added cString::Truncate(). - Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the initial *.pot file. - Fixed handling the '-l' option. - Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by Andreas Brugger). - Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8 (reported by Jiri Dobry). - The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer. See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details. - The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter). - Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel). - Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess).
2007-11-18Version 1.5.12vdr-1.5.12Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed assembling PS1 packets in cTS2PES::instant_repack() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed handling small PES packets that caused subtitles to be displayed late in live mode (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed stopping live subtitles when a player is attached to the device. - Fixed suddenly stopping subtitles in live mode.
2007-11-04Version 1.5.11vdr-1.5.11Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco 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).
2007-10-14Version 1.5.10vdr-1.5.10Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2007-08-26Version 1.5.9vdr-1.5.9Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2007-08-19Version 1.5.8vdr-1.5.8Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-08-12Version 1.5.7vdr-1.5.7Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2007-07-22Version 1.5.6vdr-1.5.6Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2007-06-23Version 1.5.5vdr-1.5.5Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-06-17Version 1.5.4vdr-1.5.4Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-06-10Version 1.5.3vdr-1.5.3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-04-22Version 1.5.2vdr-1.5.2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-02-25Version 1.5.1vdr-1.5.1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-01-07Version 1.5.0vdr-1.5.0Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2007-01-07Version 1.4.5vdr-1.4.5Klaus Schmidinger
- Official release.
2007-01-05Version 1.4.4-3vdr-1.4.4-3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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().
2006-12-03Version 1.4.4-2vdr-1.4.4-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-12-03Version 1.4.4-1vdr-1.4.4-1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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 "&amp;" 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.
2006-11-04Version 1.4.4vdr-1.4.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed displaying the replay mode symbol in case of "Multi speed mode" (reported by Marco Schlüßler).
2006-10-29Version 1.4.3-4vdr-1.4.3-4Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-10-22Version 1.4.3-3vdr-1.4.3-3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-10-15Version 1.4.3-2vdr-1.4.3-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-10-08Version 1.4.3-1vdr-1.4.3-1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-09-23Version 1.4.3vdr-1.4.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Official release.
2006-09-17Version 1.4.2-3vdr-1.4.2-3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-09-09Version 1.4.2-2vdr-1.4.2-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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=()).
2006-09-03Version 1.4.2-1vdr-1.4.2-1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-08-27Version 1.4.2vdr-1.4.2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-08-20Version 1.4.1-5vdr-1.4.1-5Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-08-13Version 1.4.1-4vdr-1.4.1-4Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-08-06Version 1.4.1-3vdr-1.4.1-3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-07-23Version 1.4.1-2vdr-1.4.1-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-06-18Version 1.4.1-1vdr-1.4.1-1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-06-11Version 1.4.1vdr-1.4.1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-06-04Version 1.4.0-3vdr-1.4.0-3Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-05-28Version 1.4.0-2vdr-1.4.0-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-05-14Version 1.4.0-1vdr-1.4.0-1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-04-30Version 1.4.0vdr-1.4.0Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-04-28Version 1.3.49vdr-1.3.49Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-04-23Version 1.3.48vdr-1.3.48Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-04-17Version 1.3.47vdr-1.3.47Klaus Schmidinger
- 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: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

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: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/s/^.*"\(.*\)".*$$/\1/p' $(VDRDIR)/config.h) ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - 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.
2006-04-09Version 1.3.46vdr-1.3.46Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2006-03-26Version 1.3.45vdr-1.3.45Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-02-26Version 1.3.44vdr-1.3.44Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
