- Fixed setting the OSD size in the 'Confirm' interface call (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - Removed the 'read incomplete section...' error message in the EIT processor. - Fixed channel data for "DW TV" (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Added DPID to "PREMIERE MOVIE 1" in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Stephan Schreiber). - Prepared the OSD functions for multiple overlapping windows. - Removed the check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Improved performance of SVDRP command entry. - Removed EPGBugfixLevel '3' - after more than a year Pro-7 finally managed to broadcast the correct timestamps for EPG events between 0:00 and 6:00! - Fixed failing watchdog timer if program hangs in OSD activities (thanks to Carsten Koch). - No longer requiring 'libncurses' if compiling without DEBUG_OSD=1 and REMOTE=KBD (thanks to Lauri Pesonen). - The "Recordings" menu now displays a hierarchical structure if there are subdirectories for the recordings. This can be controlled through the "RecordingDirs" parameter in the "Setup" menu. See "MANUAL/Replaying a Recording" for details. - Improved speed of setting the Help button texts. - Fixed handling file names that contain single quotes (') or dollar signs ($) in the call to the shutdown command (option '-s') and the recording command (option '-r'). - Improved error handling in the editing process; the resulting file will be deleted if an error occured. - A message is now prompted at the end of the editing process, indicating whether the process succeeded or failed. - Fixed setting the LastActivity timestamp after a shutdown prompt (thanks to Sergei Haller). - A message is now prompted if free disk space becomes low during recording. - The editing process now calls AssertFreeDiskSpace() to remove deleted recordings if the disk becomes full. - The "Main" menu now displays in its title the used disk space (in percent) and the estimated free disk space (in hh:mm), assuming a data rate of 30 MB per minute. - Activating the "Recordings" menu now displays "scanning recordings..." to give the user some feedback in case this takes longer. - Status messages are now displayed centered. - Removed the 'Tools' subdirectory from the VDR archive. All contributed tools can now be found at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/pub/people/kls/vdr/Tools.
2001-11-04Version 0.98vdr-0.98Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed storing the current audio volume in the setup.conf file (thanks to Andy Grobb). - Fixed closing the progress display with the "Back" key when in trick mode and Setup.ShowReplayMode is enabled (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - New SVDRP commands LSTR and DELR to list and delete recordings (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Fixed a crash when pressing the '2' button while replaying a DVD. - Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World (thanks to Mel Schächner). - Changed the tuning code to use FrontendInfo to detect the type of DVB card. - Removed the recursion stuff from cThread (cMutex already does this). - Fixed handling the repeat function in the channel display. - Avoiding multiple EPG entries for the same event (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for some valuable information on how to do this). - A recording on the primary interface can now be stopped to make it continue on an other free DVB card (if one is free at the moment). See MANUAL for details. - Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Norbert Schmidt). - Added PTS to the converted PCM audio when replaying a DVD (thanks to Andreas Schultz). Now the audio and video of a DVD replayed over the DVB card's A/V out should always be in sync. - Fixed handling the "Power" key in case Setup.MinUserInactivity is set to 0 to disable automatic shutdown. - Added a fifth parameter to the 'shutdown' call that indicates the reason for this shutdown request (see INSTALL). - Fixed releasing 'index' memory after recording or playback. - Fixed ejecting a DVD while it is being replayed. - Removed all video overlay stuff from cDvbApi and SVDRP. Guido Fiala's new 'kvdr' version 0.4 now does these things itself. As a consequence of this you will now need to use kvdr 0.4 or later. - The device /dev/video is now opened only if necessary (to GRAB an image), allowing other programs (like 'kvdr', for instance) to use that device.
2001-10-21Version 0.97vdr-0.97Klaus Schmidinger
- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing files from the video directory at the same time. - The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files. - Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart). - The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL). - New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Türkce' and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Röder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or 'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see whether they still use the correct channel number. - Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and Extended Description). - Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode. - The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired value (see INSTALL). - Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for an improved version of his 'libdtv'). Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display (where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP. - Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote). - Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not thread safe, now using localtime_r(). - Removed the "system time seen..." message. - Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt) - Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs. - The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay to enter the "Recordings" menu. - Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner). - Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric values. - Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording. - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.
2001-09-23Version 0.96vdr-0.96Klaus Schmidinger
- Made VDR compile with libdvdread-0.9.1 (thanks to Andreas Schultz). Note that you now _need_ version 0.9.1 of libdvdread to compile VDR with DVD support! - Several fixes to the replay mode display (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt): no more replay mode display when pressing the "Green" or "Yellow" button (Skip +/-60s); fixed timeout when pressing '0' to set an editing mark while the progress display is not shown; mode display is shown after progress display is closed; pressing "Ok" while the mode display is on brings up the progress display; no more unnecessary display of "normal play mode". - Supplying the new frontend parameter 'Inversion' (currently it is always set to INVERSION_AUTO, which should work with all channels on Astra). - Removing unnecessary double quotes from EPG Subtitle in EPGBugfixLevel >=1. - EPG info is now updated if the contents changes but the ID remains the same. - Fixed handling SVDRP commands whith more than one blank between the command word and the options. - The current volume setting is now saved to setup.conf and restored at the next program start. - New command line option '-r' to define a command that gets called before and after each recording (see INSTALL for details). - Implemented a check to see whether the system time is running linearly. - Writing the current time (as seen by VDR) into the log file when starting a timer recording (this may help debugging cases where timers don't start at the expected time). - Made the volume, mute and power keys work when a menu is active, too (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
2001-08-18Version 0.92vdr-0.92Klaus Schmidinger
- The "channel not sync'ed" log message now also lists the card number. - Now using the EIT services from 'libdtv' (thanks to Rolf Hakenes), which provides EPG information for NVOD ("Near Video On Demand") channels. - Doing some bug fixing on the EPG data (some tv stations apparently have their own idea on how to fill in the data...). The level up to which EPG bugs are fixed can be controlled with the EPGBugfixLevel parameter in the "Setup" menu (see MANUAL for details, and cEventInfo::FixEpgBugs() in eit.c for the actual implementation). - Fixed broken recordings after a driver buffer overflow. - Fixed the chirping sound after Pause/Play of a DVD (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
2001-08-12Version 0.91vdr-0.91Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long. - Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD. - Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto). - Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card system. - Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text was too long...). - Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina). - Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off". - The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether). See 'vdr --help' for details. - Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used). - Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for details. - Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode. - If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given only once. - Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink).
2001-07-29Version 0.85vdr-0.85Klaus Schmidinger
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jørgen Tvedt). - Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala). - Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the 'dvb' module (the last one loaded). - Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich Röder). - Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang). - Fixed replaying in case there is no index file. - Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused. - Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks to Guido Fiala). - When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now shown as '-' (as in "1-:--"). - When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful setting of the mark. - Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner). Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of several PW channels has been changed. - Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow". - Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying, but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?). - Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway). Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a replay session is started immediately after that. - Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording. - Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode').
2001-04-01Version 0.72vdr-0.72Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if no channels or timers are defined. - Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke). - Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being replayed. - Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time was set. - Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor. - Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts. - Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks to Axel Gruber). - Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer). - Fixed setting system time from transponders. - Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information. - The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it. - Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of recordings. - Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen). - The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal (thanks to Jürgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL). - Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card, recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for systems with three or more DVB cards. - Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke. - Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR. - VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump). - SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the Windows 'telnet'). - Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages. - New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data. - The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns.
2001-02-24Version 0.71vdr-0.71Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in the EPG scanner). - The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the second channel). - Reacitvated setting the PNR. - Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver. - The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled exclusively via SVDRP). - The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces a certain instance of VDR shall use. - The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to (de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there. - The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote control. - The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file will have the new format. - The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle. - Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not only when disk space is being needed for a new recording). - Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control. - Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the maximum possible number of DVB cards. - The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2' to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card). - The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and restore the list when switching between them. - The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a recording and play it from the very beginning. - Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS). - When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video directory. - Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer. - New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD. - The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR. - SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted. - SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed (default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup"). - The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this. - Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann). See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable. - Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor. - A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems. - New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means that every timer may use the primary interface. - The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details). - The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new 'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited.
2001-01-18Version 0.70vdr-0.70Klaus Schmidinger
- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher. - Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in the DVB/driver directory. Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may be sound fragments. - The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes. Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple HTML programme listing. - Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus. - Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter. - Fixed missing initialization in cConfig. - Implemented "On Disk Editing". - There is no more default 'timers.conf' file. - Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro). - Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer mode". - Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields. - Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their name (this is now mapped to 0x01). - Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'. - Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when a recording is interrupted due to higher priority. - Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file and then renames it). - In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every 5 seconds. - The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled, and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl). - The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems. - Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it is still necessary for the EPG info).
2000-11-19Version 0.68vdr-0.68Klaus Schmidinger
- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted. - The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more than one DVB card). - The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no". - Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to the Slovenian language. - Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated). - Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP. - Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer). - There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option (see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands). - Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands. - The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record. - A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card). - The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the schedule of the current channel from that menu. - All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the same data structure. - If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity (timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for 20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not currently recording or replaying. - Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX'). - Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files. - Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display. - Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice already.
2000-11-01Version 0.67vdr-0.67Klaus Schmidinger
- The EIT information is now gathered in a separate thread. - The sytem time can now be synchronized to the time broadcast in the DVB data stream. This can be enabled in the "Setup" menu by setting "SetSystemTime" to 1. Note that this works only if VDR is running under a user id that has permisson to set the system time. - The new item "Schedule" in the "Main" menu opens VDR's EPG (thanks to Robert Schneider). See the MANUAL file for a detailed description. - The new setup parameters MarginStart and MarginStop define how long (in minutes) before the official start time of a broadcast VDR shall begin recording, and how long after the official end time it shall stop recording. These are used when a recording is programmed from the "Schedules" menu. - The delay value in the dvb.c.071.diff patch to the driver has been increased to '3', because on some systems the OSD was not displayed correctly. If you are running an already patched version 0.71 driver and encounter problems with the OSD, please make sure the parameter in the ddelay call is '3', not '2'. - Fixed initializing the RCU remote control code (didn't work after switching on the system). - Problematic characters in recording names (which can come from timers that are programmed via the "Schedules" menu) are now replaced by suitable substitutes.
2000-10-03Version 0.65vdr-0.65Klaus Schmidinger
- Modified LIRC interface to better handle repeat function. - Faster OSD by first writing into a bitmap and then sending the entire bitmap to the DVB driver at once (requires the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' to be applied against the version 0.71 DVB driver file 'dvb.c'). - When switching channels the channel is now immediately displayed, and the current/next information is shown as soon as it becomes available. - No longer displaying the year in the 'Recordings' menu to saves space for the title. - The 'Recordings' menu now displays a '*' to indicate new recordings. - Added the description of the timers.conf file to the FORMATS file (thanks to Bastian Guse). - Displaying as much as possible of the current/next info (dropping characters that would display only partially). - In normal viewing mode the '0' key now toggles between the current and the previous channel.
2000-09-20Version 0.64vdr-0.64Klaus Schmidinger
- NOTE: If you are using DVB driver version 0.7 you need to load the dvb.o module with option outstream=0, so your insmod statement should read 'insmod dvb.o outstream=0'. This is currently necessary because 'vdr' still works with AV_PES data. - Video files now have the 'group read' bit set. - Fixed handling errors in 'readstring()'. - Handling SIGPIPE and re-establishing handler after intercepting a signal. - The configuration files are now by default read from the video directory. This can be changed by using the new '-c' option. Make sure you copy your current '*.conf' files to your video directory ('/video' by default), or use "-c ." to get the old behaviour of loading the configuration files from the current directory. - Waiting for input is now handled by a common function, which improves response time on user actions. As a consequence the EIT data may sometimes not be displayed, but this will change later when cEIT runs as a separate thread. - The new SVDRP command 'HITK' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to 'hit' a remote control key. Establish an SVDRP connection and enter HITK without a parameter for a list of all valid key names. - The new SVDRP command 'GRAB' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to grab the current frame and save it to a file. - The new SVDRP commands 'OVL*' can be used to control video overlays (thanks to Guido Fiala!). This is mainly for use in the 'kvdr' tool (see the 'kvdr' page at http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala). - If the name of the video directory used with the '-v' option had trailing slashes, the recording file names have been damaged. Trailing slashes are now silently removed. - Fixed a buffer overflow in EIT parsing. - Added a security warning regarding SVDRP to the INSTALL file. - Fixed 'confirm' dialog. - The daemon mode (option '-d') now no longer works with REMOTE=KBD (there is no stdin in daemon mode, so KBD makes no sense - plus it sometimes crashed).
2000-09-03Version 0.62vdr-0.62Klaus Schmidinger
- The Makefile now defines DVBDIR to easily point to where the DVB driver source is located. - When switching channels the current/next information is now displayed if available (thanks to Robert Schneider). Since there is now more information to read when switching channels, the timeout for displaying it has been increased from 2 to 5 seconds (remember that this info can always be recalled by pressing the "Ok" button). For this feature to work it is necessary that the 'Pnr' parameter in the channel setup ('channels.conf') is set to the proper value. This has been done for some of the channels in the default 'channels.conf'. Some other parameters in the default 'channels.conf' have also been updated, so please make sure your timers still use the correct channels!
