2006-04-17Version 1.3.47vdr-1.3.47Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther). - Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren Salt). - Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem. - Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported by Thomas Günther). - Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey(). - Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt). - Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv). - The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay. - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch from Sascha Volkenandt). See PLUGINS.html for details. - Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz). - In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config file (see also INSTALL). Note that if you already have a Make.config file of your own, you should add the lines ifdef DVBDIR INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include endif to its end, as in the new Make.config.template. Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

When updating to this version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because the values have been shifted. - The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell sed -ne '/define APIVERSION/s/^.*"\(.*\)".*$$/\1/p' $(VDRDIR)/config.h) ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin). - Added format check to syslog_with_tid(). - Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory (since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog timer won't hit). - Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small font if set to '2' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny Kornexl). - No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is no need to actually rename them. - The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails. - The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html.
2006-02-26Version 1.3.44vdr-1.3.44Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed setting the audio language codes in 'Transfer-Mode' (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). The actual problem was the call to the Transferring() function in cDevice::AttachPlayer() before assigning the player. - Fixed removing the '-' when entering a channel number where there is no other one that fits the input (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed the 'libsi' function CharArray::checkSize(), which made a previous workaround in libsi/descriptor.c obsolete (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - The "Ok" key in the "Jump" mode of the replay progress display now confirms the jump instead of closing the display (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The 'summary' field of a timer definition has been renamed to 'aux', and is now only used for external applications to store auxiliary information with a timer, which has no meaning whatsoever to VDR itself. The contents of the 'aux' field of a timer is copied into the recording's 'info.vdr' file, using the tag character '@'. - The description of a recording is now taken exclusively from its related EPG data. If an application wants to use a different description it needs to set it with SVDRP/PUTE and use table ID 0x00, so that it won't be overwritten (as a side effect, however, this also disables VPS for such an event). - There is no more "Summary" menu when pressing "Ok" in the "Timers" menu. The "Ok" key now always opens the "Edit timer" menu. - The upper 16 bit of a timer's "flags" are no longer treated specially when a timer is modified in the "Edit timer" menu. If an external application needs to know if a timer was modified, it has to keep a copy of the timer's data and compare that to the actual data. - The new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelID() can be used to retrieve the ID of the channel a recording was made from. - The 'info.vdr' file of a recording now also contains the 'E' and 'V' records of the EPG event used when creating it. - The option "Setup/OSD/Sort timers" has been removed. Timers are always sorted by their start time and priority. - The "Blue" key in the "Timers" menu now displays the EPG info of the event the selected timer will record (if available). The "On/Off" function has been shifted to the "Red" button. Editing a timer is done by pressing "Ok". - When determining which event a timer is going to record, all available events in the future are now taken into account (no more limit to 4 hours in the future). This has been done so that the event info is available in the "Timers" menu when pressing the "Blue" button. In order to avoid unnecessary work, each timer now has its own timestamp to control whether its schedule has changed since the last time its event has been set. - Fixed setting events to timers in case a non-VPS event has expired. - There is now a log message "timer ... set to event ..." when defining a timer from the EPG menu. - Lines tagged with '#' in the 'info.vdr' file of a recording are now silently ignored when reading that file (suggested by Peter Bieringer). Such lines can be used by external tools to store arbitrary information. - The 'event id' in EPG data has been extended to 32 bit, so that external tools can generate ids that don't collide with those from the DVB data stream (suggested by Matthias Schniedermeyer). - The DrawBitmap() function now has a new parameter 'Overlay' that allows a bitmap to be drawn with a transparent background (thanks to Alexander Hans). - Fixed cSchedule::GetFollowingEvent() in case there is currently no present event running (thanks to Pekka Mauno).
2006-02-19Version 1.3.43vdr-1.3.43Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur Skawina). - The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a string item (suggested by Markus Hahn). - Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested by Marco Schlüßler). - cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts. - Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein). - Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of 'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete() so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0. - Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of two codes, separated by '+'. - If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel, the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the channel's PID data. - Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger). - When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). - If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken. - Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original" network id.
2005-09-11Version 1.3.32vdr-1.3.32Klaus Schmidinger
- Added some missing braces in remux.c (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Removed unused MAINMENUENTRY from svdrpdemo.c (thanks to Udo Richter for reporting this one). - Fixed appending sequence end code in cDvbPlayer::Goto() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed syncing in cRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Now always using stream id 0xE0 for the video stream, to avoid problems with post processing tools that choke on different ids (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cDvbPlayer::SkipFrames() to properly handle radio recordings (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Made LIRC command parsing more robust (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Introduced a separate 'plugins-install' target in the Makefile (thanks to Daniel Thompson). - Re-introduced the code that waits for a tuner lock in VDR/device.c, since apparently some users actually need it. It's not active by default, you'll have to define the WAIT_FOR_TUNER_LOCK macro in that file if you need it (suggested by Malcolm Caldwell). - Adjusted the Makefile to the dvb-kernel driver on kernel 2.6 and up (thanks to Lauri Tischler). - Repeat keys are now ignored when waiting for a keypress to cancel an operation (thanks to Marko Mäkelä). - The main menu function of a plugin can now be activated through a key macro of the form "@plugin" even if that plugin doesn't have a main menu entry (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor, which originally implemented calling plugins from SVDRP). - The menu timeout handling is now done centrally in the main program loop. - Added missing help for the 'help' keyword in the SVDRP command PLUG. - The main menu function of a plugin can now be called programmatically through the static function cRemote::CallPlugin(). - The SVDRP command PLUG now has a new option 'main' which can be used to initiate a call to the main menu function of a plugin (using part of a patch by Hardy Flor). - The new command line option '--vfat' can be used to make VDR encode special characters in recording file names, even if it wasn't compiled with VFAT=1 (suggested by Peter Bieringer). The compile time option VFAT still exists and creates a VDR that always behaves as if it were called with '--vfat'. - Replaced the ':' delimiter between hour and minute in recording file names with a '.' under Linux, too. Existing recordings with ':' as delimiter will still work. - Implemented the SVDRP command MOVC (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Added support for multiple audio language codes in ISO639LanguageDescriptors to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Changed the audio PID language codes to hold up to two 3 letter codes, separated by '+', to store separate languages broadcast in two channel audio mode. - If the preferred audio language is broadcast on a PID that has two different languages in the two stereo channels, the audio channel is now properly set when switching to such a channel (thanks to Mogens Elneff for his help in testing this). - Fixed some typos in MANUAL (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed the default value for "Setup/EPG bugfix level" (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting this one). - Fixed defining timers that only differ in the day of week (thanks to Patrick Rother for reporting this one). - Fixed converting summary.vdr files that would result in a very long 'short text' (thanks to Carsten Koch). - Implemented a hash for the channels to reduce the system load in the EIT scanning thread (based on a patch by Georg Acher).
2004-10-17Version 1.3.13vdr-1.3.13Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo). - Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock (thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to Marco Schlüssler). - Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland). - Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the ring buffer. - Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'. - Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid an "almost full" ring buffer. - Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for the new usage of cTSBuffer). - cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using cRemux will need to be modified accordingly. - The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to improve the overall throughput. - Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with each call, not just 2048 byte. - Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h. - Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible "near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one). cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still uses it in cRemote). - The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows). - Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing). - Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo Tykkala for pointing out this problem). - cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to the log file). - Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold). - Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing this out). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested by Wayne Keer). - Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter). - Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun). - Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun). - Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out this one). - Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently active. - Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead checking if the channel has a non-zero number. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).
2004-06-06Version 1.3.10vdr-1.3.10Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed some default parameters in 'skincurses'. - Fixed cBitmap::DrawPixel(), which messed with other bitmaps' palettes in case the pixel coordinates were outside this bitmap (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - The cBitmap::DrawText() function now doesn't set any background pixels if the given background color is clrTransparent. This allows drawing "transparent" texts (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - The cBitmap::SetXpm() function now ignores unused "none" color entries, which some broken graphics tools write into XPM files (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - No longer setting lnb voltage if the frontend is not DVB-S (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed displaying the current channel when switching via the SVDRP command CHAN (thanks to Jürgen Schmitz for reporting this one). - Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Added a note about the default assignment of the color keys to MANUAL. - Added a note about NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library") to the INSTALL file (apparently the "fix" in version 1.3.0 didn't really fix this). - Modified 'libsi' to require callers to state the buffer sizes when getting strings in order to avoid buffer overflows (thanks to Philip Lawatsch for debugging a buffer overflow in eit.c).
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!).
2004-03-14Version 1.3.6vdr-1.3.6Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some descriptor handling in 'libsi' (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Fixed handling the current menu item (thanks to Marc Hoppe). - Fixed assigning events to timers (they no longer get "stuck"). - Added log entries whenever the running status of an event changes (currently only logging the first 30 channels). - Fixed handling timers in VPS margin if the EPG scan is turned on (the EPG scan switched the device away from the channel, so it wouldn't see the change of the running status). - Fixed handling "itemized" texts in EPG data (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem, and Marcel Wiesweg for improving 'libsi'). - Fixed handling VPS times at year boundaries. - Avoiding too many consecutive "ring buffer overflow" messages (which only slowed down performance even more). - Taking the Sid into account when detecting version changes in processing the PMT (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias for pointing out this problem). - Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Any newline characters in the 'description' of EPG events are now preserved to allow texts to be displayed the way the tv stations have formatted them. This was also necessary to better display itemized texts. - Fixed detecting the running status in case an empty EPG event is broadcast (thanks to Michael Pennewiß for pointing this out). - Improved performance when paging through very long menu lists. - Removed cSchedule::GetEventNumber() and cSchedule::NumEvents(). There is now cSchedule::Events() that returns the list of events directly. - Avoiding occasional bad responsiveness to user interaction caused by assigning events to timers. - Now explicitly turning on the LNB power at startup, because newer drivers don't do this any more (thanks to Oliver Endriss for pointing this out).
2004-02-29Version 1.3.5vdr-1.3.5Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed reading the EPG preferred language parameter from 'setup.conf'. - Fixed switching to a visible programme in case the current channel has neither a video nor an audio PID. - Fixed editing channels (SID now range checked) and creating new channels (NID, TID and RID are now set to 0). - Fixed transponder handling to make it work with satellites that provide two transponders on the same frequency, with different polarization, like Hispasat at S30.0W (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl for pointing this out). See man vdr(5) for details about the enhanced channel ID format. - Since there appears to be no general solution for the UPT error yet, a recording now initiates an "emergency exit" if the number of UPT errors during one recording exceeds 10 (suggested by Gregoire Favre). Since the UPT error doesn't happen on my system, this has not been explicitly tested. The "preliminary fix" for the UPT error in VDR/dvbdevice.c has been disabled by default, since it makes channel switching unpleasently slow. If you want to have that workaround back, you can uncomment the line //#define WAIT_FOR_LOCK_AFTER_TUNING 1 in VDR/dvbdevice.c. - Adapted the 'sky' plugin to use the actual channel IDs, and to fetch EPG data from www.bleb.org. - Limited automatic retuning to devices that actually provide the transponder (necessary for the 'sky' plugin). - Fixed handling receivers in the 'sky' plugin, so that a recording on the same channel won't interrupt an ongoing Transfer Mode. - Added subtable ID and TSDT handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed some Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). - Added the 'running status' to the EPG events. This is necessary for implementing the VPS function for recording. - Removed the obsolete 'present' and 'following' handling from the EPG data. - The EPG data is now always kept sorted chronologically in the internal data structures. This also means that any EPG data retrieved through the SVRDP command LSTE is guaranteed to be sorted by start time. - Now using the 'running status' in the channel display, so that a programme that has an end time that is before the current time, but is still running, will still be shown in the display (provided the broadcasters handle the 'running status' flag correctly). This also applies to programmes that have a start time that is in the future, but are already running. - Implemented an "EPG linger time", which can be set to have older EPG information still displayed in the "Schedule" menu (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Added PDCDescriptor handling to 'libsi'. - Implemented handling the VPS timestamps (aka "Programme Identification Label") for full VPS support for timers (provided the tv stations actually broadcast this information). The VPS time is displayed in the event info page if it exists and is different than the event's start time. - Extended the SVDRP command LSTE to allow limiting the listed data to a given channel, the present or following events, or events at a given time (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Fixed a typo in libsi/si.h (thanks to Stéphane Esté-Gracias). - Timers can now be set to use the VPS information to control recording a programme. The new setup options "Recording/Use VPS" and "Recording/VPS margin", as well as the "VPS" option in the individual timers, can be used to control this feature (see MANUAL for details). Note that this feature will certainly need a lot of testing before it can be called "safe"! - The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus now have an additional column which displays information on whether there is a timer defined for an event, whether an event has a VPS time that's different than its start time, and whether an event is currently running (see MANUAL under "The "Schedule" Menu" for details).
2004-01-25Version 1.3.3vdr-1.3.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added ISO639LanguageDescriptor to 'libsi'. - Changed the 'languageCode' members in the descriptor classes of 'libsi' to 'char[4]' and setting the 4th byte to 0 for easier handling. - Fixed frequency handling when setting the CA descriptors in cDvbTuner::Action() (thanks to Jan Ekholm for reporting and helping to debug this one). - Now setting CA descriptors even if "Setup/DVB/Update channels" is less than 2. - There can now be up to 32 audio and Dolby PIDs (however, currently still only the first two are used throughout the rest of the program). - The audio and Dolby PIDs in 'channels.conf' now can have an optional language code (see man vdr(5)). Currently this is only stored and not yet used otherwise. - Added a call to cStatus::MsgOsdCurrentItem() to cMenuEditItem::SetValue() (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
2004-01-18Version 1.3.2vdr-1.3.2Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed resetting the EPG data versions after changing the preferred languages (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one and helping to debug it). - Added LinkageDescriptor handling to 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added Russian language texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 17 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 17 versions for each of your texts. - Some corrections and additions to the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg and Niko Tarnanen). - Fixed a wrong 'delta' value in the call to the shutdown script (thanks to Stephan Epstein for reporting this one). - Activated detection of radio channels (to avoid reports about "channels not being detected that used to be detected with the 'scan' utility or the original 'autopid' patch ;-). - Channels with a zero VPID no longer write a PPID into channels.conf. - Short channel names are now only stored if they actually differ from the full name. - The EPG scan now scans newly found transponders together with already existing ones. - The "Red" button in the "Setup/EPG" menu can now be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL for details). - The new SVDRP command 'SCAN' can be used to force an EPG scan on a single DVB card system (see MANUAL under Setup/EPG for details). - Fixed handling PID changes in 'Transfer Mode'. - Excess blanks in channel names read from the SDT are now removed. - Fixed wrong parameter settings when scanning NITs for terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for pointing out this one). - Fixed some out of bounds parameter settings when scanning NITs for cable and satellite transponders. - Added 'libsi' include files to the 'include' directory, so that plugins can use them (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Now only processing NITs that contain the transponder they are actually broadcast on. - Fixed setting the source type for newly detected terrestrial transponders (thanks to Christian Tramnitz for his support in debugging this).

- 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).
