- Added cDevice::HasCi() so that devices with Common Interface can be avoided
when tuning to an FTA channel, thus preserving the CAM resources even on budget
DVB cards (suggested by Petri Helin).
- Fixed i18n characters for the Hungarian texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Now using cPipe instead of popen() in cCommand::Execute() to avoid problems
with open file handles when starting background commands (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Removed 'assert(0)' from cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible crash when loading an invalid XPM file (thanks to Martin Wache).
- Updated satellite names in 'sources.conf' (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich).
- Adapted 'libsi' to DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling error status in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Shutdown handling has been rewritten (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Plugins can now implement the new function WakeupTime() to request VDR to wake
up at a particular time (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The HUP signal now forces a restart of VDR (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cThread::EmergencyExit() has been replaced by ShutdownHandler.RequestEmergencyExit().
- Several references to "button" in a remote control context have been changed
to "key" (based on a report from Marko Mäkelä regarding the "Menu button closes"
text). The "MenuButtonCloses" parameter in 'setup.conf' has therefore been
renamed to "MenuKeyCloses", accordingly. This will result in an "unknown config
parameter: MenuButtonCloses" error message in the log file, so you may want to
remove that entry from your 'setup.conf' file.
- Simplified the error handling in cDvbTuner::GetFrontendStatus() (based on a
discussion with Reinhard Nissl).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Increased the maximum number of DVB devices to 8 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new Setup parameter "Channel entry timeout" can be used to customize the time
since the last keypress until a numerically entered channel number is considered
complete, and the channel is switched (suggested by Helmut Auer). Setting this
parameter to 0 turns off the automatic channel switching, and the user will
have to confirm the entry by pressing the "Ok" key.

- The CAM handling has been refactored. Instead of a cCiHandler per device there
is now an abstract cCiAdapter and a cCamSlot. This allows each slot to be
accessed individually.
- The general 15 seconds workaround time before opening the CAM menu has been
removed. If the CAM menu doesn't open within a timeout, the enter menu command
is now sent again.
- If a CAM is reset or pulled and reinserted, it now automatically starts
decrypting the current channel again.
- The Setup/CAM menu now dynamically refreshes its items and displays whether
a CAM is present or ready. The 'Reset' function no longer leaves the menu.
- The CAM menu will now be openend when pressing the Ok key on a slot entry.
- The CAM menu now stays within the current menu context and doesn't close and
reopen the menu every time an option is selected.
- When an encrypted channel is switched to for the first time, VDR now checks
explicitly whether a CAM can actually decrypt that channel. If there is more
than one CAM in the system that claims to be able to decrypt the channel,
they are all tried in turn.
To make this possible, an encrypted channel needs to be received in Transfer
Mode when it is switched to for the first time, so that VDR can determine
whether the TS packets are actually decrypted. Once a channel is known to
be decrypted by a particular CAM, the next time it is switched to it will
be shown in normal live viewing mode.
- A cDevice now automatically detaches all cReceiver objects that receive PIDs
that can't be decrypted with the current CAM. A plugin that attaches a cReceiver
to a device should therefore watch the receiver's IsAttached() function to
see if it is still attached to the device.
- The cReceiver constructor no longer takes an 'int Ca' as its first parameter,
but rather a 'tChannelID ChannelID'. This is necessary for the device to be
able to determine which CAM a particular channel can be decrypted with. If the
channel is known to be unencrypted, or a plugin doesn't want to provide the
channel id for other reasons, an invalid tChannelID() can be given.
- The cThread::Start() function now waits until a previous incarnation of this
thread has actually stopped. Before this it could happen that a thread's
Cancel(-1) function was called and immediately after that it was started again,
but the Start() function still found it to be 'active'.
- The parameter NeedsDetachReceivers in cDevice::GetDevice(const cChannel *Channel, ...)
has been removed. A call to this function will automatically detach all receivers
from the device if it returns a non-NULL pointer.
- The cTimeMs class now accepts an initial timeout value in its constructor.
- A CAM is now explicitly instructed to stop decrypting when switching away from
an encrypted channel.
- If the CAM in use can decrypt several channels at the same time, VDR can
now make use if this capability. Whether or not a CAM can decrypt more
than one channel is determined by sending it an initial empty QUERY command
and testing whether it replies to it.
- Ca values in the range 0...F in channels.conf can still be used to assign a channel
to a particular device, but this will no longer work with encrypted channels because
without valid CA ids VDR can't decide which CAM slot to use. However, since VDR now
automatically determines which CAM can decrypt which channel, setting fixed
channel/device relations should no longer be necessary.
IF AN ENCRYPTED CHANNEL CAN'T BE DECRYPTED AND YOU HAVE A CA VALUE IN THE RANGE
0...F FOR THAT CHANNEL, SET IT TO 0 (FTA) AND TUNE TO THE CHANNEL AGAIN.

- Fixed the PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Removed all the compatibility '#if APIVERSNUM...' stuff and instead increased
the API version number - plugins will have to be recompiled.
- Removed the call to pthread_setschedparam(childTid, SCHED_RR, 0) in thread.c,
because it caused a compiler warning with post-2.4 glibc (reported by Ville Skyttä).
Since the third parameter has to be non-null to have any effect, the call was
presumably a NOP, anyway.
- Fixed the 'clean-plugins' target in the Makefile to also remove additional
plugin libraries (thanks to Wayne Keer).
- Applied the fixes to moving and deleting channels from version 1.4.0-2 to the
SVDRP commands MOVC and DELC as well.
- Fixed handling the display of the '*' indicator in the "What's on now/next?"
menu, so that events that haven't been "seen" in the data stream within 30
seconds won't be shown as "running".
- Fixed handling tabbed item display in 'skincurses'.
- Increased the column spacing in the "Recordings" menu (was too small for the
'skincurses' plugin).
- When the 'skincurses' plugin is loaded, it automatically sets the 'curses'
skin as the current one. This doesn't modify the Setup.OSDSkin parameter, so
that after using 'skincurses' (for instance for debugging) the previously
selected skin will be used again.
- Added some log messages when setting the current skin.
- Only making a second attempt to set the current skin at startup if the first
attempt has failed.
- Now switching to non-VPS timers' channels 60 seconds before the timer starts
(if a free device is available), to allow for the updating of EPG data and CA
descriptors before the actual recording starts.

- Removed leftover LSMOD=... line from 'runvdr'.
- Modified the Makefile to copy additional libraries a plugin might provide (suggested
by Wayne Keer). See PLUGINS.html for details.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode when replaying Dolby Digital audio and the option
'-a' was given (based on a patch from Werner Fink). To avoid having to increment
the API version, several #if checks have been introduced around this. These will
be removed once the API version actually needs to be incremented.
- Fixed deleting the 'skinDescriptions' in cMenuSetupOSD::~cMenuSetupOSD() (thanks
to Tobias Grimm).
- Fixed calculating the start time of repeated timers with "first day" (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Now setting a timer's cached start time to 0 after a call to Skip() (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events in case the "Schedule" menu is
currently open (i.e. a write lock on the schedules data can't be achieved).
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the EPG event hasn't been 'seen' in a while.
- Fixed calculating the cache size in cUnbufferedFile::Read() (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Removed -fPIC from VDR's and libsi's Makefile (suggested by Prakash Punnoor).
- Modifed the device selection to better handle timer conflicts (reported by
Christian Wieninger).
- Avoiding a compiler warning in libsi's TypeLoop::operator[].
- Now processing the "frequency list descriptor" (based on a patch from Anssi Hannula).
- Improved the repeat function for LIRC remote controls (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed moving channels, which sometimes stopped the current replay session
(reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Fixed deleting channels in case the current channel's number changes (reported
by Mirko Dölle).

- Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how
to detect these).
- Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti).
- Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E'
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff).
- Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which
was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem.
- VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time.
This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the
same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks).
- When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are
now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than
one VPS timer is about to start.
- Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the
margin.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the
timer's transponder.
- Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer
Mode for live tv isn't interrupted.
- Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message
now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have
not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of
a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the
minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected,
respectively.
- The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous"
menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil).
- When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches
back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or
--version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter).
- Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem()
(reported by Joachim Wilke).

- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
(reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
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 21
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
(reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
(reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).

- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
(was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
actually removing it.
The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
(thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
(encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:
svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -
- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
'/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
Peña):
+ The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
(suggested by Darren Salt).
+ The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
+ Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
(suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
//#define USE_FADVISE
in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.
|
|
- Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a
repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too
language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions.
- Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver
and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks
to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a
LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will
use Transfer Mode just like before.
- Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply
data of AlphaCrypt CAMs).
- Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from
the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted
channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress
and isn't actively used, yet.
- Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported
by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator
(thanks to Holger Brunn).
- The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread
to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details.
- The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG
commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed
(no more "pending message").
|
|
- Improved responsiveness inside CAM menus.
- Added handling of the 'Close MMI' tag to avoid error log messages with CAMs
that actually use it.
- Now waiting at startup until all DVB devices are ready. This includes having
all CAMs initialized and ready to decrypt, so that no more "channel not
available" happens if VDR is started with the current channel being an encrypted
one, or a timer on such a channel hits right after starting VDR.
- Fixed cVideoRepacker to better handle errors in data (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbTuner to avoid lockups on NPTL systems (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Added 'Service' functions to the plugin interface (thanks to Udo Richter).
See PLUGINS.html, section "Custom services" for details.
- Replaced the get/put_unaligned() macros from <asm/unaligned.h> with own inline
functions to avoid problems on platforms that don't provide these (thanks to
David Woodhouse for his help).
|
|
- Removed some unneeded code and fixed access to unallocated memory in
cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Avoiding unnecessary calls to SetPid() in cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice()
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer calling EnsureAudioTrack() in cDevice::SetChannel() if a Transfer Mode is
started, to avoid setting the audio PID on the primary device (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler for pointing this out).
- Replaced the call to system("sync") in SpinUpDisk() with fdatasync(f) to avoid
problems on NPTL systems (thanks to Chris Warren for pointing this out).
- Increased POLLTIMEOUTS_BEFORE_DEVICECLEAR in transfer.c to 6 to avoid problems
with the larger buffer reserve (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed the call to SetVideoFormat() in cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() (parameter is _bool_).
- Added support for setting the video display mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The new setup option "DVB/Video display format" can be used to define which display
format to use for playing wide screen video on a 4:3 tv set.
- Changed MAXDPIDS to 16 (8xAC3 + 8xDTS) (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out).
- Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans).
- Added 'smi' to the Finnish language codes (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed ensuring there is a current audio track in case there is only one track
(thanks to Werner Fink for reporting this one).
- Improved automatic audio track selection.
- Keeping the track language codes and descriptions in Transfer Mode (thanks to
Luca Olivetti).
- Fixed handling repeated kAudio keys.
- Improved displaying the the current audio track in the ST:TNG channel display.
|
|
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() to avoid a blank screen after switching
back to live mode if a recording is currently active on the primary device.
- Fixed a possible freeze in pause mode in case a device's PlayPesPacket() function
permanently returns 0 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl and Olaf Titz).
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Restricted the "setting audio track" log message to automatic changes during replay.
- Fixed handling Transfer Mode for radio channels (thanks to Andreas Regel for
reporting this one).
- Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Forcing a new resync after a call to cRemux::Clear() (suggested by Marco Schlüßler).
- The cAudio::Play() function now has an additional parameter 'uchar Id' which tells
the function the substream id of the given audio packet, so that a plugin can
take the right action for the various kinds if audio data - which now also includes
"normal" audio with ids 0xC0...0xDF (based on suggestions by Werner Fink and Macro
Schlüßler).
- Removed the "Cleared/PlayPes(NULL, 0)" handling from cTransfer::Action(), since this
is now done when attaching the player to the device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Making sure the buffer reserve in cTransfer::Action() is re-established after
clearing the buffer.
- Added DeviceClrAvailableTracks() and DeviceSetCurrentAudioTrack() to cPlayer
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a typo in detecting UTF-8 (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Now using twice the buffer reserve in cTransfer if the primary DVB card is an
unmodified version with only 2MB of SDRAM, to avoid audio stuttering when
playing Dolby Digital over the DVB card (thanks to Christian Jacobsen and Chad
Flynt for suggestions and experiments in that area).
- Making sure the first audio packet is not dropped when switching to "pre 1.3.19
Dolby Digital compatibility mode".
- The 'plugins-clean' target of the Makefile now only deletes the actual plugin
library files from this version of VDR (suggested by Andreas Brachold).
- Added a missing 'resultSkipped = 0' to cRemux::Clear() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler
for reporting this one).
- The new function cDvbDevice::SetTransferModeForDolbyDigital() can be used by
plugins that implement Dolby Digital output and thus want to prevent the cDvbDevice
from starting Transfer Mode in order to replay DD over the DVB device.
- Added missing reset of the 'repacker' to cTS2PES::Clear() (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler for reporting this one).

- Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer
for reporting this one).
- Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by
Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one).
- Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still
picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to
Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the
full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink).
+ The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data
stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary.
+ cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets.
+ cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which
can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version
0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now
has an 'int' return value.
+ PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class
function. It shall just play the given data as audio.
+ cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been
replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes().
+ All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been
moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are
actually required will be processed.
+ All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no
longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks
for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that
have their own idea about this.
+ cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to
allow access to all available PIDs.
- Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for
pointing this out).
- Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos).
- Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to
Laurence Abbott).
- Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were
shifted one too far to the left).
- Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font
files.
- Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry.
- Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks
to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for
reporting this one).
- Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks
to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out).
- Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide
the actual buffering. In particular these are:
readdir() -> cReadDir
readline() -> cReadLine
- Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString:
cChannel::ToText()
tChannelID::ToString()
cEvent::GetDateString()
cEvent::GetTimeString()
cEvent::GetEndTimeString()
cEvent::GetVpsString()
cMark::ToText()
cTimer::ToText()
cSource::ToString()
cTimer::PrintDay()
cTimer::PrintFirstDay()
PrefixVideoFileName()
IndexToHMSF()
ChannelString()
strescape()
AddDirectory()
itoa()
WeekDayName()
DayDateTime()
When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special
to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value,
as in
const char *date = DayDateTime();
Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not
be valid after this line. Use this instead:
cString date = DayDateTime();
In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be
dereferenced with a '*', as in
printf("%s", *DayDateTime());
to make it a 'const char *'.
- Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead.
- Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer
Zocholl for pointing out this problem).
- Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching
receivers from different threads.
- The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different
audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language"
to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital
audio tracks (see MANUAL for details).
- The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors"
that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels
actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes,
which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3.
- The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which
contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details).
- The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be
used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member
function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed.
- Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio
track menu.
- The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the
botton left side.
- The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio
language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages
(see MANUAL for details).
- The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between
the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks
in these channels (see MANUAL for details).
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund).
- Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick
Gleichmann).
- Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to
Dino Ravnic).
- Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to
"DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and
whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu.
- Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for
their support in testing and fine tuning this version.
|
|
- Fixed cChannel::SetName() in case only the ShortName or Provider has changed
(thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Added Danish language texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Reactivated the NPTL check at startup because there appear to be still
unsolved problems when running on NPTL systems.
- Added missing calls to cStatus::MsgOsdClear() in cSkins::Message() (thanks
to Joachim Wilke for reporting this one, and Andreas Regel for additional
input).
- Fixed the cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling of pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed a short glitch when starting a recording on the primary device while
in replay or transfer mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added missing initialization of cEvent::seen.
- Checking PID language codes for ISO 639 compliance to avoid problems with
funny characters. Invalid language codes will be stored as "???".
- The '0' key now toggles the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu between "single
shot" and "repeating". The keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the individual
days ('1' is Monday). Thanks to Sascha Klek for reporting a problem with the
'0' key in the "Day" item of the "Timers" menu.
|
|
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Uwe Hanke).
- Added more checks and polling when getting frontend events (based on a patch
from Werner Fink).
- No longer explicitly waiting for a tuner lock when switching channels
(apparently setting "live" PIDs before the tuner is locked doesn't hurt).
Moved the wait into cDevice::AttachReceiver() instead.
- Immediately displaying the new channel info when switching channel groups.
- Moved the main program loop variables further up to allow compilation with
older compiler versions (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for reporting this one).
- Now calling pthread_cond_broadcast() in the destructor of cCondWait and
cCondVar to make sure any sleepers will wake up (suggested by Werner Fink).
Also using pthread_cond_broadcast() instead of pthread_cond_signal() in
cCondWait, in case there is more than one sleeper.
- Making sure that timers and channels are only saved together, in a consistent
manner (thanks to Mirko Dölle for reporting a problem with inconsistent
channel and timer lists).
- Now handling the channel name, short name and provider separately. cChannel
therefore has two new functions, ShortName() and Provider(). ShortName()
can be used to display a short version of the name (in case such a version
is available). The optional boolean parameter of ShortName() can be set to
true to make it return the name, if no short name is available.
The sequence of 'name' and 'short name' in the channels.conf file has been
swapped (see man vdr(5)).
- Added the 'portal name' to cChannels (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling key codes that start with 0x1B in the KBD remote control code.
- Now using qsort() to sort cListBase lists. For this, the virtual function
cListObject::operator<() has been replaced with cListObject::Compare().
Plugins that implement derived cListObject classes may need to adjust their
code.
- The "Channels" menu can now be sorted "by number" (default), "by name" and
"by provider". While in the "Channels" menu, pressing the '0' key switches
through these modes.
- Fixed the buffer size in cRecording::SortName().
- Now displaying the name of the remote control for which the keys are being
learned inside the menu to avoid overwriting the date/time in the 'classic'
skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
|
|
- In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do
'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR.
- Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it
introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same
transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off
UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem
with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the
video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for
reporting this one).
Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file!
- Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo).
- Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting
a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin).
- Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the
channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was
a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting
this one).
- No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for
recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle).
- The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays
when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to
the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu.
If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function
Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file
'.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
- Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers
has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually
implemented for FF DVB cards.
- Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard
Cedric for reporting this one).
- Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing
out this one).
- Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig
Nussel for reporting this one).
|
|
- Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess).
- Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6.
- Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6).
- Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig).
- Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to
Pekka Virtanen).
- Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them
available for plugins.
- The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts.
- The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of
the small font (see MANUAL for details).
- Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd.
Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements.
- Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to
the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the
driver, together with the endian problem).
- The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left
corner of the OSD.
- The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters).
When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth
and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically.
- The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the
description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD
display on arbitrary hardware.
- The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several
XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these
have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how
to use these.
- Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD
has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this
functionality later.
- The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc],
VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how
a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin
that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin
named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can
be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin".
- The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html
for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the
structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through
"Setup/OSD/Theme".
- Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font,
because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one
in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9
and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's
going wrong here...
- Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to
Pekka Virtanen).
- Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for
pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the
actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and
set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly
(this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for
reporting this one).
- Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks
to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry
(thanks to Ralf Klueber).
- Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others
before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt).
- Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false'
(thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf'
(thanks to Thomas Rausch).
- Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer).
- Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas
Heiligenmann).
- Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will
never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by
Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current
value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects
new VDR installations.
- Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs
full (suggested by Emil Naepflein).
- Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later
problems with timers.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- The character '|' in description texts of EPG records is now interpreted as a
newline character (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Andreas Kool).
- Improved handling of repeated remote keys.
- The RCU now only sets the channel number display when there are no incoming remote
control keys, which improves reaction on repeated keys.
- The actual tuning is now done in a separate thread, which makes zapping through the
channels a lot faster and no longer gets stuck on channels that don't broadcast.
This also makes "Motor-DiSEqC" work (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for his help
in testing this). Since switching channels now no longer explicitly waits for a
channel lock in the foreground thread, the "panic level" mechanism is no longer
used (maybe we don't need it any more, anyway).
- The keyboard is now by default always active to control VDR. The 'make' option
REMOTE=KBD is therefore obsolete. When compiling VDR with REMOTE=RCU or REMOTE=LIRC,
the keyboard can thus now be active together with the remote control. If you want
to build VDR _without_ keyboard support you can set NO_KBD=1 in the 'make' call.
Since the keyboard codes are now different from the ones used previously (which
were mapped by the 'ncurses' library) you will need to go through the "Learning
keys" procedure again. To do so, either delete the file /video/remote.conf or
remove the KBD.* entries from it before starting this version of VDR.
(Thanks to Thomas Sailer for pointing out how to set the terminal parameters to
read from the keyboard).
- The 'ncurses' library is now only necessary when compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD=1.
|
|
- 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.

- 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:

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.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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).
