- Fixed setting the OSD size in the 'Confirm' interface call (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - Removed the 'read incomplete section...' error message in the EIT processor. - Fixed channel data for "DW TV" (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Added DPID to "PREMIERE MOVIE 1" in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Stephan Schreiber). - Prepared the OSD functions for multiple overlapping windows. - Removed the check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Improved performance of SVDRP command entry. - Removed EPGBugfixLevel '3' - after more than a year Pro-7 finally managed to broadcast the correct timestamps for EPG events between 0:00 and 6:00! - Fixed failing watchdog timer if program hangs in OSD activities (thanks to Carsten Koch). - No longer requiring 'libncurses' if compiling without DEBUG_OSD=1 and REMOTE=KBD (thanks to Lauri Pesonen). - The "Recordings" menu now displays a hierarchical structure if there are subdirectories for the recordings. This can be controlled through the "RecordingDirs" parameter in the "Setup" menu. See "MANUAL/Replaying a Recording" for details. - Improved speed of setting the Help button texts. - Fixed handling file names that contain single quotes (') or dollar signs ($) in the call to the shutdown command (option '-s') and the recording command (option '-r'). - Improved error handling in the editing process; the resulting file will be deleted if an error occured. - A message is now prompted at the end of the editing process, indicating whether the process succeeded or failed. - Fixed setting the LastActivity timestamp after a shutdown prompt (thanks to Sergei Haller). - A message is now prompted if free disk space becomes low during recording. - The editing process now calls AssertFreeDiskSpace() to remove deleted recordings if the disk becomes full. - The "Main" menu now displays in its title the used disk space (in percent) and the estimated free disk space (in hh:mm), assuming a data rate of 30 MB per minute. - Activating the "Recordings" menu now displays "scanning recordings..." to give the user some feedback in case this takes longer. - Status messages are now displayed centered. - Removed the 'Tools' subdirectory from the VDR archive. All contributed tools can now be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools.

- Fixed behaviour in case the shutdown didn't take place (there were many "next timer event at..." messages in that case). - Reduced the default value for MinEventTimeout to 30 minutes. - Fixed detecting manual start in shutdown feature. - An error message is now displayed in case the Transfer Mode can't be started because the necessary DVB card is currently recording (or there is no DVB card that can access this channel). - Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key in case the "Ok" button has been pressed to display the current/next information. - Pressing the "Power" key now always initiates the shutdown sequence (after user confirmation in case of a recording timer), event if there is currently a menu or a replay session active. Note the additional remarks in INSTALL regarding the values of the two parameters given to the shutdown program in case of a currently recording timer. - Switching through channel groups with the "Left" and "Right" keys now always starts at the group that contains the current channel. - Implemented "Multi Speed Mode" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Implemented backtracing to hit the right spot after fast forward/rewind (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Implemented replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt, with a few rewrites by kls). - Changed the size of all input buffers used to parse config files or receive SVDRP commands to the same value of 10KB. This allows long strings to be used in the 'summary' field of a timer, for instance. - The pipe to the Dolby Digital replay command (option '-a') now closes all unused file descriptors in the child process to avoid crashing when the OSD is used (thanks to Andreas Vitting). - Switched to the driver's new tuning API (VDR now requires a driver version dated 2001-09-14 or higher). - Changed obsolete macro VIDEO_WINDOW_CHROMAKEY to VID_TYPE_CHROMAKEY (thanks to Guido Fiala). - New version of the "Master-Timer" tool (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Better error handling when writing configuration files. - Fixed putting the final editing mark into the edited version's marks file. - Fixed manipulating an editing mark at the very end of a recording. - Fixed starting a new replay immediately after stopping a previous one (had caused a mix between live video and replay). - Three new keys ("Volume+", Volume-" and "Mute") to control the DVB card's audio output volume. - New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch).

- When scrolling through a list it now moves a full page up or down when the cursor reaches the top or bottom of the menu (thanks to Heino Goldenstein!). - Added missing '#include <sys/stat.h>' to recording.c. - The video directory can now be defined with the command line option -v. - There can now be more than one video directory (in case you have several disks). - Fixed learning key codes for PC keyboard. - New command line option '-l' to set the log level. - Times in timers.conf are now always printed with 4 digits (leading '0'). - Slow forward/back mode (thanks to Guido Fiala!). - The "Up" key in replay mode no longer restarts replay at the very beginning, but rather resumes normal replay mode after a "pause", "forward" or "backward" operation. Use the "Skip -60s" function repeatedly to go back to the beginning of the recording. - Improved reaction on user input in fast/slow forward/back modes. - No more upper limit for the value of 'Pnr'. - Checking if the video card is really a DVB card. - New SVDRP command UPDT to update an existing timer (or add a new one if it doesn't yet exist). - New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (with a modified channel list). - Bugfix in closing window in DEBUG_OSD mode.
2000-07-25Version 0.6vdr-0.6Klaus Schmidinger
- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!). There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it work immediately even if there is no actual remote control). - Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird) not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). - Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in faster reaction. - The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!). - The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries. - The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list with the highest 'Priority' is selected. - The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in. - The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits, so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-) - Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are converted to underscores. - The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in channels.conf. - Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6. - Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control the VDR over a network connection. - Implemented command line option handling. - The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option. - Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!). This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by this timer. If the text contains the special character '|', a newline will be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red" key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer via the SVDRP interface.
