2008-09-06Version 1.7.1vdr-1.7.1Klaus Schmidinger
- Adapted the tuning code to the new DVBFE_SET_DELSYS API (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). VDR now uses the driver from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto_plus. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Removed obsolete $(NCURSESLIB) from the Makefile. - Implemented handling the standard component descriptor for AC3 (stream=4), as it will soon be used by the German ARD channels (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for advance information about this change). The previously used "Premiere pseudo standard" (stream=2, type=5) still works, but has apparently been wrongfully used by broadcasters from the beginning. - Added missing description of the 'S' channel parameter to vdr.5 (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP signon message now indicates the character encoding in use, as in "220 video SVDRP VideoDiskRecorder 1.7.1; Fri May 2 16:17:10 2008; ISO-8859-1". This may be useful for instance for external tools that provide EPG data, so that they can correctly encode the strings. - No longer calling FcFini() to avoid problems with older (broken) versions of fontconfig (suggested by Edgar Toernig). - Removed the compile time option VFAT to allow users of precompiled binary distributions to have full control over whether or not to use the --vfat option at runtime (suggested by Michael Nork). - First step towards switching to TS (Transport Stream) as recording format: + The new function cDevice::PlayTs() is used to play TS packets. + The new functions cDevice::PlayTsVideo() and cDevice::PlayTsAudio() are used to play video and audio TS packets, respectively. + The new function cAudio::PlayTs() is used to play audio TS packets. + The new class cPatPmtGenerator is used to generate a PAT/PMT pair that precedes the TS data in Transfer Mode. + The new class cPatPmtParser is used by cDevice to parse the PAT/PMT data in a TS in order to find out which streams it contains. + The new class cTsToPes is used to convert TS packets to a PES packet. + cTransfer no longer uses cRemux, and doesn't run a separate thread any more. It just generates a PAT/PMT and sends all received TS packets to the primary device's PlayTs(). + Live subtitle display no longer uses a ring buffer and separate thread. + cPesAssembler has been removed. Old VDR recordings only contain complete PES packets. + Since a TS needs to have a PAT/PMT, which requires the video stream type to be explicitly given, the format of the VPID field in the channels.conf file and the SVDRP commands NEWC/MODC/LSTC has been extended. The video stream type now follows the VPID and optional PPID, separated by an '=' sign. - Updated the sources.conf file (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). - Fixed a possible integer overflow in GetAbsTime() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed a problem with calling isyslog() from within the SignalHandler() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Replaced the Finnish language code "smi" with "suo" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed wrong value for TableIdBAT in libsi/si.h (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Errors in config files no longer keep VDR from starting. - Removed unneeded include files <linux/dvb/dmx.h> und <time.h> from remux.h (reported by Tobias Grimm).
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.
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).
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).
2002-12-15Version 1.1.20vdr-1.1.20Klaus Schmidinger
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti) and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground. - Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one). - Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele). Plugin authors should please change the lines CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual in their Makefile to CXX ?= g++ CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual - Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing). - Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode. - Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments). See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.
2002-12-01Version 1.1.18vdr-1.1.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for reporting this one). - Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault). - Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":" or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin). - Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch). - Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they are no longer active). - Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL (suggested by Gerald Berwolf). - Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details). - The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system, using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details).
