2004-05-16Version 1.3.7vdr-1.3.7Klaus Schmidinger
- 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!).
2003-10-17Version 1.2.6pre1vdr-1.2.6pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2002-12-01Version 1.1.18vdr-1.1.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed missing initialization of 'number' in cChannel (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for reporting this one). - Fixed a misplaced ')' in the fix about the stale lock files (thanks again to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out - it was my fault). - Group delimiters in the 'channels.conf' file that have no text (like a simple ":" or ":@201") no longer show up in the Channels menu (suggested by Guy Roussin). - Added "Tele 5" to 'channels.conf' (thanks to Georg Hitsch). - Changed the source directory name for plugins from 'SRC' to 'src' (suggested by Clemens Kirchgatterer). - Removed transponders 10788, 11739 and 12266 from 'channels.conf' (apparently they are no longer active). - Deactivated some templates in tools.h in case some plugin needs to use the STL (suggested by Gerald Berwolf). - Timers now accept channel IDs even if the 'source' is 0 (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown or housekeeping (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Macros in 'keymacros.conf' can now use "@plugin" to directly access the main menu function of a given plugin (see man vdr(5) for details). - The new plugin 'sky' can be used to integrate a Sky Digibox into the VDR system, using a Kfir MPEG2 encoder card (see PLUGINS/src/sky/README for details).
2002-09-29Version 1.1.11vdr-1.1.11Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks to Jeremy Hall). - Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it: ------------------------------------------------------- --- Makefile 2002/06/10 16:24:06 1.4 +++ Makefile 2002/09/17 15:36:36 1.5 @@ -15,7 +15,12 @@ ### The directory environment: +ifdef NEWSTRUCT +DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/include +DEFINES += -DNEWSTRUCT +else DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/ost/include +endif VDRDIR = ../../..

The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls. - The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys. This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control, without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR. When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in the file 'remote.conf'. Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in the process... - While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu' key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular RC unit. - Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary device during EPG scan.
2002-06-23Version 1.1.4vdr-1.1.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Added Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Activated cutting. - Activated 'Transfer Mode'. - Moved handling of the Menu key entirely into vdr.c. - Switched VDR's own player to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - Switched handling 'Transfer Mode' to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - The following limitations apply to this version: + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
2002-06-16Version 1.1.3vdr-1.1.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes. - Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist' (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags). - Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface. - Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd. - Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor. See PLUGINS.html for details. - Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c. - Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing out this one). - Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this option from your existing Makefile. - Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available to plugins. - Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output thread necessary). - It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder 12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S. - Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data is simply saved to both files. - The following limitations apply to this version: + Transfer mode doesn't work yet. + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet. + Cutting doesn't work yet.
2002-05-09Version 1.1.0vdr-1.1.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Begin of the 1.1 development branch. THIS IS NOT A STABLE VERSION! The current stable version for every day use is still the 1.0 branch. - First step towards a universal plugin interface. See the file PLUGINS.html for a detailed description. The man page vdr(1) describes the new options '-L' and '-P' used to load plugins. This first step implements the complete "outer" shell for plugins. The "inner" access to VDR data structures will follow. - The VDR version number is now displayed in the title line of the "Setup" menu.
2001-09-02Version 0.94vdr-0.94Klaus Schmidinger
- Implemented automatic shutdown (see INSTALL and MANUAL for details). - New SVDRP command NEXT to show the next timer event. - The new remote control key "Power" can be used to turn the VDR machine off (this requires the presence of the '-s' option). - Fixed code for the default "Ok" button on the PC keyboard (was 0x162 on the "good old" keyboards (with the F-keys at the left side), while it changed to 0x15E on the newer keyboards). - When a recording is edited, the summary information (if present) is now also copied. - When a recording is running on the primary interface, any attempt to change the current channel will now lead to a "Channel locked" message. - The main program loop now first checks whether any timer recordings are finished, before starting a new timer recording. This is important in case one timer ends at the same time another timer starts. - New setup parameter OSDMessageTime to define how long an OSD message shall be displayed. - The "File" parameter of a timer can now contain the '~' character to store the recording in a hierarchical directory structure. The '~' character has been chosen since the file system's directory delimiter '/' may be part of a regular programme name (showing the directory hierarchy in the "Recordings" menu will follow later). - Repeating timers now create recordings that contain the 'Subtitle' information from the EPG data in their file name. Typically (on tv stations that care about their viewers) this contains the episode title of a series. The subtitle is appended to the timer's file name, separated by a '~' character, so that it results in all recordings of this timer being collected in a common subdirectory. You can disable this with the 'UseSubtitle' parameter in the "Setup" menu. - The summary information is now taken from the EPG data at the actual time of recording (no longer at the time the timer is created in the "Schedule" menu). If a timer already has summary data, that data will be used. If you have repeating timers in your 'timers.conf', you may want to make sure they do NOT contain any summary information (that's the last field in the timer definitions). Use your favourite text editor to delete that information. That way every recording will store the actual summary data at the time of the recording.
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').
2001-01-18Version 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.
2000-10-08Version 0.66vdr-0.66Klaus Schmidinger
- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things a lot smoother. - Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished. - In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes: Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and releasing the key stops it. - The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer). - Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording. - The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if that file still exists. - The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid). - The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu.
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).
2000-09-10Version 0.63vdr-0.63Klaus Schmidinger
- The new "Setup" menu allows the user to configure several parameters to his/her personal taste (see MANUAL for details). - Workaround for a driver timing problem in cDvbApi::Cmd(), which sometimes caused the OSD to no longer be displayed (thanks to Niels de Carpentier). - Added the '-m486' option to the compiler call. - If a channel name contains a colon (':') it is now replaced with a '|' in channels.conf. - Not everybody appears to like the "page scrolling" mechanism introduced by Heino Goldenstein in version 0.61, so this is now configurable via the "Setup" menu. - The new 'dvbrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert 'dvbrc' channel files into 'vdr' format. - Channels can now be "grouped" (thanks to Plamen Ganev!). See MANUAL for details. There is currently no mechanism to define and maintain "Channel groups" via the menu, so you'll have to insert "Channel group" control lines into your 'channels.conf' file manually (for example with a text editor). - Started a new file named FORMATS with a description of the various file formats used by VDR. - The "Primary DVB interface" can now be chosen via the "Setup" menu. - Display of the "current/next" information when switching channels can now be disabled via the "Setup" menu. - The "current/next" display now only shows those lines that actually contain information. - When directly selecting a channel by entering the channel number, the digits entered so far together with the name of that channel are displayed on the OSD (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).
2000-05-27Version 0.05vdr-0.05Klaus Schmidinger
- Support for more than one DVB card. - Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards). - Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name of the channel, with a prepended '@' character. - Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with a prepended '@' character. - If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains an option to stop that recording. - Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed. In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of inactivity. - If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an option to stop replaying. - Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the RCU display. - Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on menu controlling remote control units.
2000-04-24Version 0.04vdr-0.04Klaus Schmidinger
- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that appears to be in use with DVD replay. - Implemented a channel display in the top menu line. - Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up). - Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys. - Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers. - The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to kick in too early). - Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying. - Improved process handling.
2000-04-15Version 0.03vdr_osm-0.03Klaus Schmidinger
- Actual record/replay now works. - Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that). - Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting. - Support for CICAM.
2000-03-11Version 0.02vdr_osm-0.02Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed compilation with only DEBUG_REMOTE=1. - Menus now use colors. - Support for "Red", "Green", "Yellow", "Blue" buttons. - Channels and Timers can now be added, deleted and moved. - Basic record/play file handling support (no actual record/playback yet).
2000-02-19Version 0.01 (Initial revision).vdr_osm-0.01Klaus Schmidinger
