- 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).
2003-11-08Version 1.2.6pre5vdr-1.2.6pre5Klaus Schmidinger
- Added cDevice::GetSTC() (suggested by Sven Goethel). - Added Asia-Pacific satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Richard Scobie). - Added North American satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Luke Jenkins). - Fixed getting the list of recordings in case VDR is started from a directory where it doesn't have access to (thanks to Dirk Mueller).
2003-08-17Version 1.2.3 (not officially released)vdr-1.2.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material. In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem(). - Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for reporting this). - Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl). - Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on the same channel. - Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to Richard Robson for reporting this one). - Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one). - Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous" (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).
2003-05-11Version 1.1.31vdr-1.1.31Klaus Schmidinger
- Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase (suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable. - Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz). - Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one). - Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video is actually coming from. - Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the "short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland). - Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button or the "Back" button during replay. - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow). - Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
2003-05-04Version 1.1.30vdr-1.1.30Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2003-04-27Version 1.1.29vdr-1.1.29Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2003-01-10Version 1.1.21vdr-1.1.21Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2002-12-15Version 1.1.20vdr-1.1.20Klaus Schmidinger
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti) and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground. - Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one). - Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele). Plugin authors should please change the lines CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual in their Makefile to CXX ?= g++ CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual - Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing). - Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode. - Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments). See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.
2002-11-03Version 1.1.15vdr-1.1.15Klaus Schmidinger
- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver. The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later. - Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version. - Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice. - Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for pointing out this one). - The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user can overwrite. - Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!). - Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current service ID). - Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe. - Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html under "Dolby Digital"). The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated. Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear() or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please take a look at this and maybe send patches. Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x. Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the cAudio objects. - Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE, which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary DVB device in case there are problems with this.
2002-10-27Version 1.1.14vdr-1.1.14Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-10-13Version 1.1.13vdr-1.1.13Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-10-06Version 1.1.12vdr-1.1.12Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-09-29Version 1.1.11vdr-1.1.11Klaus Schmidinger
- 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: ------------------------------------------------------- --- Makefile 2002/06/10 16:24:06 1.4 +++ Makefile 2002/09/17 15:36:36 1.5 @@ -15,7 +15,12 @@ ### The directory environment: +ifdef NEWSTRUCT +DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/include +DEFINES += -DNEWSTRUCT +else DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/ost/include +endif VDRDIR = ../../..

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.
2002-09-15Version 1.1.10vdr-1.1.10Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2002-09-08Version 1.1.9vdr-1.1.9Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-08-25Version 1.1.8vdr-1.1.8Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed replaying the last few seconds of a recording. - Added some missing #includes to files in libdtv for gcc 3.2 (thanks to Jürgen Zimmermann). - Added cDevice::NewOsd() to allow a derived cDevice class to implement its own OSD capabilities (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Added cPalette::AllColors() for plugins that need to get the color entries of a cPalette (see osdbase.h). - The new SVDRP command CLRE can be used to clear the entire EPG data (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Fixed handling one-shot timers that were already recording and had their start time changed into the future (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer for reporting this one).
2002-08-16Version 1.1.7vdr-1.1.7Klaus Schmidinger
- Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with 'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice). By default it currently still uses the old driver. - Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). - Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!", since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people. - Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this in his DXR3 plugin). - cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall check if any of its file handles is ready for data. - Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.
2002-08-04Version 1.1.6vdr-1.1.6Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-06-23Version 1.1.4vdr-1.1.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Added Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Activated cutting. - Activated 'Transfer Mode'. - Moved handling of the Menu key entirely into vdr.c. - Switched VDR's own player to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - Switched handling 'Transfer Mode' to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - The following limitations apply to this version: + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
2002-06-16Version 1.1.3vdr-1.1.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes. - Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist' (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags). - Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface. - Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd. - Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor. See PLUGINS.html for details. - Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c. - Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing out this one). - Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this option from your existing Makefile. - Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available to plugins. - Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output thread necessary). - It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder 12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S. - Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data is simply saved to both files. - The following limitations apply to this version: + Transfer mode doesn't work yet. + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet. + Cutting doesn't work yet.
