- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages
(thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it).
- Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of
your texts.
- Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen).
- Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to
Stephan Epstein for reporting this one).
- Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not
being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the
original 'autopid' patch ;-).
- Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf.
- Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the
full name.
- The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing
ones.
- The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG
scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details).
- The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force an EPG scan on a single
DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details).
- Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'.
- Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed.
- Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders
(thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one).
- Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable
and satellite transponders.
- Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can
use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually
broadcast on.
- Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders
(thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).

- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available
(thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one).
- Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to
Lauri Tischler for reporting this one).
- Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri
Tischler for reporting this one).
- The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to
control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL).
This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has
now been adopted.
- Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha
Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use
the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one).
- Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections.
- Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by
Teemu Rantanen).
- Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the
user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl).
- Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks
to Marcel Wiesweg).
- In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10
seconds.
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels
are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are
scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite
branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who
actually has such equipment.

- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library").
Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt.
- The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log
the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id.
For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function
cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments.
Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality
instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order
to support logging the thread ids.
- Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky).
However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling.
- Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the
'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets.
- Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally
provided by Alessio Sangalli).
- Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done
separately, even from within plugins.
- The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been
adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures
may need to change some function names (which should be obvious).
The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual
subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been
shortened to 'description'.
- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread
safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously.
- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to
define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and
'newplugin').
- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for
Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi).
- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level'
sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter
Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work.
- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work.
- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
new channel settings.
- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
get their supported ids from the CI handler.
- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
a channel to a particular device.
- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256.
- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer
overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the
morning).

- Updated VIVA, VIVA Plus, MTV Central and MTV 2 in channels.conf (thanks to
Sebastian Frei).
- Changed "Studio Universal" to "Sci-Fi" in channels.conf.
- Fixed a crash when using the --terminal option without having access to the
given terminal (thanks to Steffen Barszus for helping to debug this one).
- Added a note about the driver version needed for the still picture fix from
version 1.2.5pre1 to work properly (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing
this out).
- Fixed setting the primary device in case none of the devices provides an MPEG
decoder (thanks to Rene Bartsch for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling the "Red" button in the "Schedules" menu in case there are no
events listed for a particular channel (thanks to Christoph Hermanns for
reporting this one).
- When setting an editing mark while in "Pause" mode, replay now immediately
jumps to the marked frame (thanks to Oskar Signell for pointing out this
problem).
- The DVB devices no longer send CA descriptors to the CAM while the EPG scanner
is active (sometimes the CAMs got irritated when the device tuned to channels
they couldn't handle).

- Fixed a bug in channel switching after Left/Right has been pressed (thanks to
Michael Walle for reporting this one).
- Improved channel switching in case of numerical input by switching as soon as
the channel is unique (suggested by Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed creating a new channel in the "Channels" menu in case the 'channels.conf'
contains ':@nnn' lines with no text (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this
one).
- Changed the behaviour of the '0' key in normal viewing mode so that a channel
only qualifies as "previous" if it has been selected for at least 3 seconds
(suggested by Thomas Keil).
- Now clearing the channel info display when entering numeric keys to switch
channels (suggested by Guy Roussin).
- Added missing I18N entry for "Ppid" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling the color buttons in the "Edit channel" menu (thanks to Thomas
Keil for reporting this one).
- Fixed an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections (thanks to Gerhard
Steiner for reporting this one).
- Fixed checking CA capabilities with the dvb-kernel driver (thanks to Kenneth
Aafløy).
- Fixed selecting the device, because sometimes an FTA recording terminated a
CA recording (thanks to Emil Naepflein).
- Fixed a possible crash in case a VFAT file system is used without compiling VDR
with VFAT=1 (thanks to Ernst Fürst for reporting this one).
- Now the program uses the values of VIDEODIR and PLUGINDIR defined in Makefile
or Make.config as defaults (thanks to Steffen Barszus).
- Added the usual menu timeout to the CAM menus.
|
|
- Removed a faulty parameter initialization in menu.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for
reporting this one).
- Re-implemented the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff in cRingBuffer, since some plugins
actually need this. By default the buffer does not wait; if a plugin needs the
waiting functionality it can call the new SetTimeouts() function.
- Moved the call to cPlugin::Start() further up in vdr.c, to make sure it gets
called before trying to learn the keys (problem reported by Oliver Endriss).
- No longer starting the editing process if no marks have been set (thanks to
Matthias Raus for reporting this one).
- Added Catalanian language texts (thanks to Marc Rovira Vall and Ramon Roca).
Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 16
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 16 versions for each of
your texts.
- Moved the detection of a broken video data stream from the cDevice into the
cRecorder to avoid problems with cReceivers that want to receive from PIDs
that are currently not transmitting (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting
this one).
- Fixed setting the locking pid after a timed wait (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Avoiding spurious section filter settings after a channel switch.
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- Fixed reading 'epg.data' for channels with non-zero RID (thanks to Oliver
Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed EPG bugfix statistics to avoid log entires for undefined channels (thanks
to Lars Bläser for reporting this one).
- No longer waiting inside cIndexFile::CatchUp() to avoid shortly blocking replay
at the end of a recording.
|
|
- Fixed minimum lifespan of deleted recordings (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Olivier Jacques).
- Fixed paging through lists with repeated Left/Right keys.
- Fixed setting the PCR-PID in case it is equal to one of the other PIDs (thanks
to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed double call to MainMenuAction() of a plugin if invoked via a hotkey (thanks
to Kai Moeller for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling dedicated keys.
- Now turning off live PIDs when replaying. This avoids short spikes from other
channels when switching between Transfer Mode channels, and also lets an ongoing
replay continue even if a recording is started on the primary device.
- The RCU channel display no longer changes when a recording on a different
channel starts on the primary device.
- Restoring the current channel in case a recording has switched the transponder.
If all devices are busy and none of them can provide the current channel, the
message "Channel not available!" will be displayed.
- Removed the (no longer necessary) 'panic' stuff from cThread.
- Added cStatus::OsdItem() to provide the entire list of menu items to a plugin
(thanks to Carsten Siebholz).
- The red ("Record") and yellow ("Pause") button in the "Main" menu are no longer
available when replaying.

- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally
received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the
'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID
and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as
with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an
additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version
dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions).
- Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing
live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one).
- Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video
sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas
Schultz).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number,
start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl).
- Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL
(suggested by Benjamin Harling).
- Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen).
- Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and
is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting
this one).
- Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds.
- The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk
usage (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).

- Using masks in EIT filtering to reduce the number of filters (thanks to Andreas
Schultz).
- Fixed handling Ca descriptors (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Now only those Ca descriptors are sent to a CAM that are actually understood
by that CAM.
- Re-enabled CAM communication during replay and on non-Ca channels. This requires
a DVB driver with firmware version 2613 or later.
- It is now possible to do simultaneous recording and replay with a single DVB
card, even with encrypted channels. This requires the use of the Link Layer
firmware, version 2613 or higher; the -icam firmware is still limited to live
encrypted channels only. Finally we have time shift for encrypted channels on
single card systems!
- Enhanced detection of pending user I/O from CAMs to avoid sluggish reaction
to remote control keypresses.
- Implemented "pause live video". You can now press "Menu/Yellow" or "Pause" on
your remote control while watching live video to start an instant recording
of the current programme and immediately start replaying that recording.
|
|
- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca
value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids
problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device.
- The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item
even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu
(thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message
instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3.
- Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible
(thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for
helping to fix it).
- Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell).
- Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to
Werner Fink).
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
written.
- Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay
(thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width
(thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to
Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy
Grobb for reporting this one).
- Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own
resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in
the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details).
- Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version
and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it).
- If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device
is now used as primary device (just to have some device).
- Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks
to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to
the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same
applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup.
- Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate
an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
|
|
- Improved CAM handling (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for a great deal of help
in debugging this). It is now possible to insert the CAM in any of the two slots,
to insert and remove it while VDR is running and even to have two CAMs inserted.
- Turning SI filtering off and on when switching channels.
- Timers are now processed even if an OSD menu is open (except for menus that
explicitly handle timers).
|
|
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to
Paul Gohn).
- Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus.
- Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from
a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader
class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load.
- Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams
with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode'
and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu
Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls.
- Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no'
were mixed up).
- Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Changed EIT processing to always read a full section.
- Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens
Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele).
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.
|
|
- Fixed the 'channels.conf' entries for "Studio Universal" and "Disney Channel".
- Fixed handling channels in the "Channels" menu in case there are ':@nnn' group
separators without names (thanks to Guy Roussin for reporting this one).
- The SVDRP command CHAN now also accepts channel IDs.
- Increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written
(sometimes in time shift with heavy system load the index file was closed too
early by the replay thread).
- Implemented "Link Layer" based CAM support, which hopefully will solve the
problems with CAMs we had in the past. To use this you need the driver version
2002-01-08 or higher (with the new firmware supporting the "Link Layer" protocol).
- Added an EPG bugfix that moves the Subtitle data to the Extended Description in
case the latter is empty and the Subtitle exceeds some useful length.
- Since several channels put very long strings into the Subtitle part of their
EPG data, that string is now limited in length when used in a recording's
file name.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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 saving the polarization parameter of channels that have a number in the
'source' parameter (thanks to Peter Seyringer for reporting this one).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- First step towards a "unique channel ID". The channel ID is a human readable
string, made up from several parameters of the channel's definition in the file
'channels.conf' (see man vdr(5) for details).
In order for the "unique channel ID" to work, all channel definitions now must
be unique with respect to the combination of their Source, Frequency and SID
parameters. You may have to fix your 'channels.conf' manually if there are error
messages in the log file when loading it. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR
'channels.conf' AND 'timers.conf' FILE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THIS VERSION, AND CHECK
VERY CAREFULLY WHETHER YOUR TIMERS ARE STILL SET TO THE RIGHT CHANNELS!
When reading an existing 'timers.conf', the channels will be identified as before
by their numbers. As soon as this file is written back, the channel numbers will
be replaced by the channel IDs. After that it is possible to manually edit the
'channels.conf' file and rearrange the channels without breaking the timers.
Note that you can still define new timers manually by using the channel number.
VDR will correctly identify the 'channel' parameter in a timer definition and
use it as a channel number or a channel ID, respectively. Also, the SVDRP commands
that return timer definitions will list them with channel numbers in order to
stay compatible with existing applications.
The channel ID is also used in the 'epg.data' file to allow EPG information from
different sources to be stored, which would previously have been mixed up in case
they were using the same 'service ID'. Note that the contents of an existing
'epg.data' file from a previous version will be silently ignored, since it doesn't
contain the new channel IDs. When inserting EPG data into VDR via SVDRP you now also
need to use the channel IDs.
Currently the EPG data received from the DVB data stream only uses the 'Source'
and 'Service ID' part of the channel ID. This makes it work for channels with
the same service IDs on different sources (like satellites, cable or terrestrial).
However, it doesn't work yet if the service IDs are not unique within a specific
source. This will be fixed later.
- Added missing SID parameters to 'channels.conf'. Some channels have been removed
since they are apparently no longer broadcasted.
- Removed dropping EPG events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400
seconds or more (was introduced in version 1.1.10). This has become obsolete by
the modification in version 1.1.13, which fixed fetching the current/next information
to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond
the start time of the next event. Besides, the change in 1.1.10 broke handling EPG
data for NVOD channels.
- Fixed a compiler warning regarding cMenuChannels::Del() and MenuTimers::Del() hiding
the base class virtual functions.

- Fixed some faulty default parameter initializations (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Added further satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner
and Oliver Endriss).
- Updated Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- Fixed a small glitch when switching channels (thanks to Dennis Noordsij for
reporting this one).
- Fixed handling multiple 'CaCaps' entries in 'setup.conf'.
- Group separators in 'channels.conf' may now be given like ':@201 My Channels',
where '@201' indicates the number to be given to the next channel. This can be
used to create 'gaps' in the channel numbering (see 'man 5 vdr'). BE CAREFUL
TO UPDATE YOUR 'timers.conf' ACCORDINGLY IF INSERTING THIS NEW FEATURE INTO YOUR
'channels.conf' FILE!
- Timers now internally have a pointer to their channel (this is necessary to
handle gaps in channel numbers, and in preparation for unique channel ids).
- Fixed slow reaction on SVDRP input (thanks to Guido Fiala for reporting this one).
- Added KI.KA to channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele).
- Frequency values for cable and terrestrial channels in 'channels.conf' can
now be given either in MHz, kHz or Hz. The actual value given will be multiplied
by 1000 until it is larger than 1000000.
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels when zapping downwards.
- Fixed checking the Ca() status of a cDevice (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed switching audio tracks in 'Transfer Mode' on the primary DVB device
(thanks to Steffen Barszus and Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one and
helping to fix it).
- Fixed channel switching in case of an active 'Transfer Mode' on the primary
device ('Transfer Mode' is now launched with priority '-1').
- Fixed a ternary expression in dvbspu.c.
- Fixed handling 'Transfer Mode' on single device systems when recording an
encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed blocking replaying in case an encrypted channel is being recorded on
the primary device.
- Now the name of the remote control is displayed when learning the keys.
- Fixed learning remote control keys in case there is more than one remote
control (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
- Implemented additional dedicated keys for "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Record",
"FastFwd", "FastRew", "Channel+" and "Channel-". If your remote control supports
any of these keys you can delete your 'remote.conf' file and restart VDR to
go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys.
See MANUAL for more information.
Authors of player plugins should update their ProcessKey() functions so that
the new player keys have the same functionality as the "Up", "Down", "Left",
"Right" and "Blue" keys, respectively. Note that the existing functionality
of these keys should by all means be retained, since VDR (and any plugins)
shall be fully usable with just the basic set of keys. These new keys are only
for additional comfort in case the remote control in use supports them.
- Implemented new keys to directly access the VDR main menu functions "Schedule",
"Channels", "Timers", "Recordings", "Setup" and "Commands". If your remote
control provides keys you want to assign these functions to, you can delete
your 'remote.cof' file and restart VDR to go through the key learning procedure
again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information.
- The new configuration file 'keymacros.conf' can be used to assign macros to
the color buttons in normal viewing mode, as well as to up to 9 user defined
keys. See MANUAL and man vdr(5) for more information. The default 'keymacros.conf'
implements the functionality of the "color button patch".
- Fixed a crash when learning the keys of several remote controls and pressing
buttons of those that have already been learned (thanks to Oliver Endriss for
reporting this one).
|
|
- Added cDevice::DeviceNumber() to get the number of a device, not counting any
gaps that might be in the index count.
- Fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration
of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next
event.
- Adapted type names to the new HEAD version of the driver (which the previous
NEWSTRUCT branch has been merged into). Note that to use this driver version
you still need to add NEWSTRUCT=1 to the make call when building VDR. You
need a HEAD version of the LinuxDVB driver dated 2002-10-11 or later to compile
VDR with NEWSTRUCT=1.
- Fixed radio channels in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele and Uwe
Scheffler).
- Fixed switching the video format in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Uwe Scheffler
for reporting this one).
- Reactivated full handling of second audio PID (even in 'Transfer Mode').
- Fixed a crash when closing down with remote control plugins (thanks to Oliver
Endriss helping to debug this one).
- Commands in the file 'commands.conf' can now have a '?' at the end of their
title, which will result in a confirmation prompt before executing the
command.
- Changed a few leftover 'new char[...]' to MALLOC(char, ...).
- If a command executed from the "Commands" menu doesn't return any output, the
OSD will now be closed automatically.
- The SVDRP command PUTE now triggers an immediate write of the 'epg.data' file
(suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
- The new configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define commands that
shall be executed from the "Recordings" menu; see MANUAL and 'man vdr(5)' for
details (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
|
|
- Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks
to Oliver Endriss).
- Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T
(see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field
previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler and Andy Carter for testing.
If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C,
for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the
'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now
taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial",
for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards.
Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]),
and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible
through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses
cChannel data accordingly.
- The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources
(satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and
'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to
'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging).
- The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the
"source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial).
For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in
this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use
DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers
defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the
'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package.
- The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual
diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format).
- The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this
channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of
parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source.
- The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning
of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these
are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used.
- Removed some unnecessary #includes from eit.c and changed cMenuRecordings::Del()
to cMenuRecordings::Delete() to avoid warnings in gcc-3.2 (thanks to Andreas
Schultz for pointing this out).
- Improved skipping channels that are (currently) not available (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Updated channels.conf.terr and channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Fixed a bug when pressing the "Blue" button in the main menu without having
displayed it (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
|
|
- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks
to Jeremy Hall).
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to
Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin
directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it:

### The object files (add further files here):
-------------------------------------------------------
This is the diff for the 'setup' example that comes with VDR, so your line
numbers may be different.
- Added a missing 'public' keyword in device.h (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Fixed a race condition when starting 'Transfer Mode'.
- Rearranged the remote control key handling to allow plugins to implement
additional types of remote controls (see PLUGINS.html, section "Remote Control").
The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced
by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls.
- The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys.
This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control,
without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR.
When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you
to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in
the file 'remote.conf'.
Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in
the process...
- While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu'
key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular
RC unit.
- Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary
device during EPG scan.
|
|
- Removed a superfluous error message from cLockFile::Unlock() (reported by
Helmut Auer).
- Fixed starting a recording of the current channel with only one DVB card
(thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for his help).
- A previous 'Transfer Mode' is now automatically re-started after a replay
stops.
- Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel is actually going to
be switched or has actually been switched successfully (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- The EPG now drops events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400
seconds or more (this avoids bogus entries like "PROGRAMMES ALLEMANDS").
- Fixed opening /dev/video in cDvbDevice::GrabImage() in case of NEWSTRUCT
driver (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Added a missing StripAudioPackets() to cDvbPlayer::Action() (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added an EPG bugfix for the latest VOX EPG data format.
|
|
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the
distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation.
If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may
want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary.
- Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and
replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need
to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented.
- cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function
cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can
receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a
device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here.
- Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle
multiple recordings.
- Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived
cDevice classes.
- Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying
of data.
- Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices
receiving multiple channels.
- Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels
that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are
recording and these channels are on different transponders).
- Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
|
|
- Re-visited the race condition fix in the cDvbPlayer (thanks again to Andreas
Schultz).
- Changed the VFAT handling to allow users who normally use it but have forgotten
to set it when compiling a new version of VDR to at least see their recordings
made with VFAT enabled (thanks to Christian Rienecker).
- Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed PID handling for cReceiver.
- Added a missing #include to ringbuffer.c (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Now using CC, CFLAGS, CXX and CXXFLAGS in Makefile.
- Changed the cDevice class to allow plugins to implement their own devices (see
PLUGINS.html for details).
|
|
- Added direct access to the index data of cPalette (needed for displaying SPUs,
thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- The status monitor function cStatus::Replaying() now gets a 'cControl *' argument instead
of a 'cDvbPlayerControl *' in order to allow additional players to call this function.
cPlayer and cControl have been given the functions GetIndex() and GetReplayMode() to
allow access to the player's status.
- Added cOsd::OpenRaw() to create a raw OSD (needed for displaying SPUs).
- Changed the symantics of the Name parameter in cStatus::Recording() and
cStatus::Replaying(). It is no longer the full directory name of the recording,
but rather just the basic name. This has been changed to allow players that can't
provide a name to simply use a string that describes the player type (like, e.g.,
"DVD").
- Fixed a hangup when switching to the next file during replay.
- Fixed a possible race condition in the cDvbPlayer (thanks to Andreas Schultz
for pointing out this one).
- Disabled channels on Transponder 12070 in 'channels.conf', which apparently no longer transmits.
|
|
- Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION!
The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch.
- First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html
for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L'
and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer"
shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow.
- The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.
|
|
- Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl.
- Fixed a deadlock when switching channels via Schedule/Now|Next/Switch (reported
by Martin Hammerschmid).
- Changed the meaning of the 'Ca' parameter in 'channels.conf'. Each channel can
now define which decryption method it needs in order to be accessed. The new
configuration file 'ca.conf' contains the defined values, and the default
'channels.conf' has been modifed to contain the new values for 'Premiere World'
and 'ORF'. If you use the default 'channels.conf' and have the conditional
access hardware to receive encrypted channels, please make sure you copy the
file 'ca.conf' into your /video directory (or wherever your configuration files
are located) and go into the "Setup" menu and set the CICAM values according
to your hardware setup. Currently there are two possible CICAM entries per
DVB card, so any card can implement up to two different conditional access
modes (besides the default "Free To Air" mode, which is always assumed to be
available on any DVB card).
- Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto).
|
|
- Added scanning for EPG data for another 4 days on channels that support this
(thanks to Oleg Assovski).
- Removed '#define VFAT 1' from recording.c (was a leftover from testing).
- Fixed the "Low disk space!" message (thanks to Sergei Haller).
- Added the TPID to Hessen-3 in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Sergei Haller).
- Fixed a crash when replaying with DEBUG_OSD=1 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Implemented the "First day" parameter for repeating timers. See FORMATS for
information about the enhanced 'timers.conf' file format, and MANUAL for
a description of the new item in the "Edit Timer" menu and the enhanced
functionality of the "Blue" button in the "Timers" menu.
- When deleting a recording that is currently still being recorded, the related
timer will now automatically be terminated. If this is a repeating timer, it
will receive a "First day" setting that skips the timer for this day.
- Fixed closing all unused file descriptors when opening a pipe (thanks to
Werner Fink).
- Instant recordings now take the EPG data from the point in time at 5 minutes
from the start time of the recording. In order for this to work the 'active'
parameter of a timer now uses the second bit to indicate that this is an
"instant" recording (see FORMATS for details).
- Fixed the SVDRP GRAB command in case the video device can't be opened (thanks
to Adrian Stabiszewski).
- At startup the data written into 'epg.data' is now read into the EPG data
structures. In order for this to work, the 'E' record has been extended to
(optionally) contain the 'table ID' (see FORMATS for details).
- The new SVDRP command PUTE can be used to put EPG data into the EPG list.
See FORMATS for details about the required data format.
- Taking the German umlauts 'as is' when compiled with VFAT.
- The new Setup parameter RecordDolbyDigital can be used to generally turn off
recording the Dolby Digital audio channels in case you want to save disk space
or don't have the equipment to replay Dolby Digital audio.
- Reading the 'setup.conf' file no longer terminates in case of an error, but
rather attempts to read the rest of the file.
- Removed DVD support from the core VDR source, since the current version from
Andreas Schultz is already much further developed (DVD menu navigation) and
the concept of "additional players" in VDR is going to change in version 1.1.0,
where a new "plugin" interface shall allow the easy implementation of new
players without having to patch the core VDR source. Until then, Andreas has
agreed to provide his DVD support as a completely external patch.
- The contents of the distribution archive now contains the directory name with
the current version number, as in 'vdr-1.0.0pre1/...' in order to avoid
inadvertently overwriting an existing VDR directory with a new version.
- Added a missing error message in SVDRP command LSTC in case the given channel
can't be found.
|
|
- Fixed a bug in moving timers or channels to the last position in the list
(thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for helping to debug this one).
- Changed the estimated data rate for calculating the remaining disk capacity
to 25.75 MB/min.
- Only reporting the 'EPG bugfix statistics' if there really were any fixes.
- Added Finnish language texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen).
- Reverted to the previous way of searching for the EPG record of the current
recording in case of a periodic timer (i.e. taking the one that is in the
middle between start and end time).
- Added a typedef for 'in_addr_t' to make it work with glibc < 2.2 (thanks to
Jürgen Schmidt).
- When the last entry in a "Recordings" menu page is deleted, that page is now
automatically closed (suggested by Uwe Freese).
- Changed the default name for instant recordings to "TITLE EPISODE" (avoiding
the '-').
- If Setup.ShowInfoOnChSwitch is set to "no", the box for the EPG display is no
longer shown (thanks to Andy Grobb).
- If compiled with VFAT=1, characters that can't be handled by a VFAT system are
now encoded to '#XX'.
- When the user presses the "Power" button and there is a timer about to start
recording within Setup.MinEventTimeout minutes, there is now a confirmation
prompt telling the user that there is an upcoming timer event.
- If a recording has no episode title, the trailing '~' is no longer shown in
the progress display.
|
|
- Updated channel settings for 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Gebel).
- Fixed handling hierarchical recordings menu in case of directories starting
with the same sequence of characters.
- Fixed handling timers on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month in case the next
month has less than 31 days.
- Added a description of the sort order of individual episodes in the
recordings menu to the MANUAL.
- Removed the EPG bugfix for "Title / Subtitle" cleanup. Apparently Pro-7 has
finally stopped this nasty habit.
- Added some EPG bugfix statistics (printed to the log file every time the EPG
data is cleaned up and when VDR is terminated). Maybe somebody in charge of
the EPG data at the listed channels will read this and take the necessary
actions to fix these things...
- Changed the [dei]syslog macros in tools.h to use a variable number of args,
thus making it safe to use them in nested 'if/else' statements.
- Fixed error handling in establishing an SVDRP connection (thanks to Davide
Achilli) for pointing this out).
- The new configuration file 'svdrphosts.conf' is now used to define which
hosts may access the SVDRP port (by default only 'localhost' has access).
See FORMATS for details.
- The special keywords TITLE and EPISODE can now be used in timer file names
(see MANUAL and FORMATS for details).
- The new setup parameter NameInstantRecord can be used to define how an
instant recording will be named (see MANUAL for details).
- When looking for the EPG record of the timer that starts a recording, now
that record is taken which covers the time calculated as
'start + (Setup.MarginStart * 2) + 1)' in order to have a better chance of
hitting the right record in case of an instant recording. Timers that start
further in the future should always be programmed via the "Schedules" menu.
- The special VPIDs '0' and '1' are now used to enable recording radio channels.
Actually '0' should be enough, but '1' must be used with encrypted channels
(driver bug?). Note, though, that since VDR is mainly a *video recorder*, some
features like, e. g., the progress display, may not work as expected with
radio recordings. Thanks to Michael Paar.
- Fixed a problem with the ERR macro defined by ncurses.h (thanks to Artur
Skawina).
|
|
- 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 several channel definitions in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thilo
Wunderlich).
- Added MPEG audio support for DVD (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Implemented DVB-T support (thanks to Dave Chapman).
This currently works only for UK channels.
- Removed the range limits for the Frequency and Srate parameters of channel
definitions.
- Changed the maximum value for PIDs in channels.conf from 0xFFFE to 0x1FFF.
- Fixed DVD audio sync problems (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed external AC3 replay for DVDs (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
|
|
- Completed storing the current audio volume in the setup.conf file (thanks
to Andy Grobb).
- Fixed closing the progress display with the "Back" key when in trick mode
and Setup.ShowReplayMode is enabled (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- New SVDRP commands LSTR and DELR to list and delete recordings (thanks to
Thomas Heiligenmann).
- Fixed a crash when pressing the '2' button while replaying a DVD.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Mel Schächner).
- Changed the tuning code to use FrontendInfo to detect the type of DVB card.
- Removed the recursion stuff from cThread (cMutex already does this).
- Fixed handling the repeat function in the channel display.
- Avoiding multiple EPG entries for the same event (thanks to Rolf Hakenes
for some valuable information on how to do this).
- A recording on the primary interface can now be stopped to make it continue
on an other free DVB card (if one is free at the moment). See MANUAL for
details.
- Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Norbert Schmidt).
- Added PTS to the converted PCM audio when replaying a DVD (thanks to Andreas
Schultz). Now the audio and video of a DVD replayed over the DVB card's A/V
out should always be in sync.
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case Setup.MinUserInactivity is set to 0 to
disable automatic shutdown.
- Added a fifth parameter to the 'shutdown' call that indicates the reason for
this shutdown request (see INSTALL).
- Fixed releasing 'index' memory after recording or playback.
- Fixed ejecting a DVD while it is being replayed.
- Removed all video overlay stuff from cDvbApi and SVDRP. Guido Fiala's new
'kvdr' version 0.4 now does these things itself. As a consequence of this you
will now need to use kvdr 0.4 or later.
- The device /dev/video is now opened only if necessary (to GRAB an image),
allowing other programs (like 'kvdr', for instance) to use that device.
|
|
- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing
files from the video directory at the same time.
- The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or
not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files.
- Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
- The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel
number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL).
- New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Türkce'
and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Röder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon
Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or
'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see
whether they still use the correct channel number.
- Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and
Extended Description).
- Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode.
- The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of
recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers
are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the
current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired
value (see INSTALL).
- Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for
an improved version of his 'libdtv').
Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they
would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display
(where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be
specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP.
- Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote).
- Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not
thread safe, now using localtime_r().
- Removed the "system time seen..." message.
- Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow
button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt)
- Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs.
- The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay
to enter the "Recordings" menu.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Helmut Schächner).
- Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric
values.
- Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording.
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.
|
|
- The menus and the channel display now show the current date and time.
- The new Setup parameter MaxVideoFileSize can be used to customize the
maximum size of the recorded video files.
- Fixed a bug in handling repeating timers that record over midnight (the
calculation of matching timers has been completely rewritten).
- Timers that are currently recording are now marked with '#' in the "Timers"
menu.
- Timers are now sorted in the "Timers" menu, showing the sequence in which
they will be recording. This can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. Note
that the "Mark" button doesn't work if timers are displayed sorted.
|
|
- Modified the display of the channel group separators (thanks to Markus Lang
for this suggestion).
- Added support for replaying DVDs (thanks to Andreas Schultz). See INSTALL for
instructions on how to compile VDR with DVD support.
- Fixed replay progress display in case replay is paused while watching an
ongoing recording.
- Ringbuffer uses semaphores to signal empty/full conditions.
- Fixed calculating the timeout value in cFile::FileReady() (thanks to
Wolfgang Henselmann-Weiss).
|
|
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jørgen Tvedt).
- Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on
systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala).
- Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the
'dvb' module (the last one loaded).
- Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich
Röder).
- Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This
may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC
codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang).
- Fixed replaying in case there is no index file.
- Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused.
- Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks
to Guido Fiala).
- When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now
shown as '-' (as in "1-:--").
- When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the
display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful
setting of the mark.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner).
Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of
several PW channels has been changed.
- Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the
confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow".
- Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying,
but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?).
- Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually
tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway).
Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a
replay session is started immediately after that.
- Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording.
- Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a
replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode').
|
|
- Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if
no channels or timers are defined.
- Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke).
- Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being
replayed.
- Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time
was set.
- Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor.
- Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts.
- Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks
to Axel Gruber).
- Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for
input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer).
- Fixed setting system time from transponders.
- Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information.
- The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it.
- Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of
recordings.
- Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen).
- The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal
(thanks to Jürgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through
an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL).
- Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card,
recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as
opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the
CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for
systems with three or more DVB cards.
- Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke.
- Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR.
- VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead
of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump).
- SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the
Windows 'telnet').
- Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages.
- New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data.
- The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns.
|
|
- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to
a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in
the EPG scanner).
- The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the
second channel).
- Reacitvated setting the PNR.
- Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver.
- The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without
any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled
exclusively via SVDRP).
- The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces
a certain instance of VDR shall use.
- The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks
to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to
(de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there.
- The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the
first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that
item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote
control.
- The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to
Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set
to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file
will have the new format.
- The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle.
- Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not
only when disk space is being needed for a new recording).
- Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control.
- Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the
maximum possible number of DVB cards.
- The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2'
to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM
module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card).
- The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and
restore the list when switching between them.
- The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a
recording and play it from the very beginning.
- Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS).
- When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video
directory.
- Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer.
- New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD.
- The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR.
- SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted.
- SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed
(default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup").
- The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character
in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this.
- Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann).
See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable.
- Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor.
- A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off
scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems.
- New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the
primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means
that every timer may use the primary interface.
- The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user
modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details).
- The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes
VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the
given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new
'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread.
- The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data
stream. This can be enabled in the "Setup" menu by setting "SetSystemTime" to
1. Note that this works only if VDR is running under a user id that has
permisson to set the system time.
- The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG (thanks to Robert
Schneider). See the MANUAL file for a detailed description.
- The new setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop define how long (in
minutes) before the official start time of a broadcast VDR shall begin
recording, and how long after the official end time it shall stop recording.
These are used when a recording is programmed from the "Schedules" menu.
- The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased
to '3', because on some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you
are running an already patched version 0.71 driver and encounter problems
with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay call is '3', not
'2'.
- Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching
on the system).
- Problematic characters in recording names (which can come from timers that
are programmed via the "Schedules" menu) are now replaced by suitable
substitutes.
|
|
- The new "Setup" menu allows the user to configure several parameters to his/her
personal taste (see MANUAL for details).
- Workaround for a driver timing problem in cDvbApi::Cmd(), which sometimes caused
the OSD to no longer be displayed (thanks to Niels de Carpentier).
- Added the '-m486' option to the compiler call.
- If a channel name contains a colon (':') it is now replaced with a '|' in
channels.conf.
- Not everybody appears to like the "page scrolling" mechanism introduced by
Heino Goldenstein in version 0.61, so this is now configurable via the "Setup"
menu.
- The new 'dvbrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert
'dvbrc' channel files into 'vdr' format.
- Channels can now be "grouped" (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). See MANUAL for details.
There is currently no mechanism to define and maintain "Channel groups" via
the menu, so you'll have to insert "Channel group" control lines into your
'channels.conf' file manually (for example with a text editor).
- Started a new file named FORMATS with a description of the various file
formats used by VDR.
- The "Primary DVB interface" can now be chosen via the "Setup" menu.
- Display of the "current/next" information when switching channels can now
be disabled via the "Setup" menu.
- The "current/next" display now only shows those lines that actually contain
information.
- When directly selecting a channel by entering the channel number, the digits
entered so far together with the name of that channel are displayed on the
OSD (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).
|
|
- The Makefile now defines DVBDIR to easily point to where the DVB driver
source is located.
- When switching channels the current/next information is now displayed if
available (thanks to Robert Schneider). Since there is now more information
to read when switching channels, the timeout for displaying it has been
increased from 2 to 5 seconds (remember that this info can always be recalled
by pressing the "Ok" button).
For this feature to work it is necessary that the 'Pnr' parameter in the
channel setup ('channels.conf') is set to the proper value. This has been
done for some of the channels in the default 'channels.conf'. Some other
parameters in the default 'channels.conf' have also been updated, so please
make sure your timers still use the correct channels!
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- Support for more than one DVB card.
- Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards).
- Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name
of the channel, with a prepended '@' character.
- Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with
a prepended '@' character.
- If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains
an option to stop that recording.
- Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing
a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed.
In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu
open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of
inactivity.
- If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an
option to stop replaying.
- Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the
RCU display.
- Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for
the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on
menu controlling remote control units.
|
|
- 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).
