- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'.
- Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this
one).
- Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition
of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in
dvbdevice.c).
- Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from
a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type
of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *).
So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you
get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source
for the MainMenuAction() function.
Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their
own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements
a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially
look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also
the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html.
- Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and
TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID
that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable.
This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID
and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio
ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The
RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels
in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set
the RIDs of these channels to different values.
When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically
initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended
to the channel definitions.
Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can
only be distinguished through the RID.
- The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID
(thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems).
- Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID.
- Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for
instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt).
- Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window
'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time
makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies
in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).

- Fixed restoring CICAM setup values for a fourth DVB card (thanks to Klaus Wolf).
- Completed internationalization of OSD texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen,
Arnold Niessen, Paulo Lopes, Jean-Claude Repetto, Alberto Carraro, Matjaz
Thaler and Truls Slevigen).
- Improved file I/O in case of EINTR, which may occur e.g. with heavy system
load (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Now writing the title of a recording into the 'summary.vdr' file.
- Workaround for displaying still frames with the unpatched LinuxDVB driver
(if anybody ever finds out why the unpatched driver doesn't display VDR's
still frames, please let me know).
- When executing a command from the "Commands" menu, the title of that command
is now immediately shown in the status line (followed by "...") to give the
user some feedback that the command is being executed, which is especially
important if this takes some time.
- Fixed scrolling the "Channels" menu in case the cursor ends up on a group
delimiter (thanks to Bernd Zierath for helping to debug this one).
- Added manual pages vdr(1) and vdr(5) (which made the FORMATS file obsolete).
- New command command line option '-V' to display the VDR version.
- Adjusting column width for channel numbers in case there are more than 999
channels.
- Checking the return value of '...FileRady...' calls in dvbapi.c for better
performance under heavy system load.
- New 'make' target 'install', which copies the manual pages and executables
to their appropriate system locations and creates the /video directory if
it doesn't exist yet.
- Automatic hotkey assignment is now suppressed if the first entry in
commands.conf starts with a digit in the range '1'...'9', followed by a blank.
- Fixed a bug in switching back the replay mode display in time shift mode
(thanks to Achim Lange for reporting this one).
- Fixed a bug in the 'First day' timer parameter for timers that record over
midnight.
- Added units to Setup parameters.
- Changed time entry in the 'Jump' command during replay, so that it is filled
up from right to left.
- Now using statfs() to determine the amount of free disk space, which avoids
the use of an external 'df' command (thanks to Ruben Nunez Francisco).
- Fixed skipping the next hit of a repeating timer (thanks to Rainer Zocholl
for reporting this one).
- Fixed a bug when a timer records over midnight of a day that had a change in
Daylight Saving Time.
- Added Polish language texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski).
- Fixed a bug in parsing group separators in channels.conf (thanks to Henning
Holtschneider for reporting this one).
- Changed the default 'Ok' key when using the PC keyboard from '5' (in the
numeric block) to 'Enter', because the '5' key didn't work on keyboards with
the F-keys on top.
- Fixed a bug in the EPG bugfix mechanism if the extended description is shorter
than 3 characters (thanks to Andreas Schultz).

- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher.
- Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the
driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in
the DVB/driver directory.
Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver
still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that
in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may
be sound fragments.
- The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes.
Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple
HTML programme listing.
- Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on
now/next?" menus.
- Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter.
- Fixed missing initialization in cConfig.
- Implemented "On Disk Editing".
- There is no more default 'timers.conf' file.
- Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro).
- Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer
mode".
- Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields.
- Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their
name (this is now mapped to 0x01).
- Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'.
- Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when
a recording is interrupted due to higher priority.
- Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file
and then renames it).
- In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every
5 seconds.
- The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled,
and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl).
- The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems.
- Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it
is still necessary for the EPG info).

- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted.
- The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more
than one DVB card).
- The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no".
- Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to
add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to
the Slovenian language.
- Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated).
- Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP.
- Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this
could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer).
- There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines
commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option
(see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands).
- Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands.
- The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low
priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record.
- A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted
by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted
channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the
CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card).
- The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the
schedule of the current channel from that menu.
- All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the
same data structure.
- If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are
now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the
EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity
(timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel
that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for
20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start
scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity
and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of
user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not
currently recording or replaying.
- Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations
that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX').
- Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files.
- Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display.
- Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually
can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in
an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice
already.

- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that
appears to be in use with DVD replay.
- Implemented a channel display in the top menu line.
- Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up).
- Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys.
- Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers.
- The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically
to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to
kick in too early).
- Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying.
- Improved process handling.

- Actual record/replay now works.
- Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is
able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that).
- Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting.
- Support for CICAM.
|
|
- Fixed compilation with only DEBUG_REMOTE=1.
- Menus now use colors.
- Support for "Red", "Green", "Yellow", "Blue" buttons.
- Channels and Timers can now be added, deleted and moved.
- Basic record/play file handling support (no actual record/playback yet).
