- Fixed checking compatibility mode for old subtitles plugin (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Michael Nival).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- The "Play" key now starts replay of the selected recording in the Recordings
menu (thanks to Ville Skyttä);
- Improved shutdown handling (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Housekeeping now waits for a while after a replay has ended (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Added more special characters to the list of allowed characters when entering
strings (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added Ukrainian language texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Added a workaround for recovering from wrongfully interpreted "pre 1.3.19 PS1 packets".
- Fixed a possible blocking in replay when subtitles are active.
- Fixed displaying subtitles in live mode.
- Fixed handling CONFDIR (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added some missing 'const' keywords (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The 'Allowed' parameter in cMenuEditStrItem() is now NULL by default, which results
in using tr(FileNameChars) (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Added a missing '.' to the date returned by DayDateTime() (thanks to Lauri Nurmi).
- Improved the 'i18n' target in the Makefile to avoid unnecessary work (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt). The 'newplugin' and 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' scripts have been
changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to adjust the 'i18n' target
of their Makefiles.
- Fixed a crash if no fonts are found (thanks to Mario Ivankovits and Clemens
Kirchgatterer).
- Fixed decoding filename characters in case there are not two hex digits after
the '#' (reported by Helmut Auer).

- Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to
Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing
subtitle handling in VDR).
- The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list
of available subtitles.
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the
preferred languages for subtitles.
- Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
- Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode.
- Implemented subtitle track selection.
- Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even
on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors.
- Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles
plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location
of the subtitles in the vertical direction.
- The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency"
define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background
color of subtitles.
- Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record
in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon
replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in
X 3 03 ger deutsch
(see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence,
so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording.
- Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily
large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with
--no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a
channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin).
- Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by
Denis Knauf).
- Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported
by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem
(thanks to Christian Wieninger).
- Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On'
is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo
Richter).
- Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to
Udo Richter).
- Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward
trick speeds (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an
example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to
Elias Luttinen).
- Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the
README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the
'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file.
Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n'
target in their Makefiles, as in
i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo)
(based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel).
- Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed characters" in the de_DE.po file
(suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn).
Same for the assign operator.
- Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn).
- Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over
both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).

- Added missing install-i18n to the install target in the Makefile (reported
by Joachim Wilke).
- Fixed a faulty comment in Make.config.template (reported by Marco Schlüßler).
- Improved i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Moved the "all" target in plugin Makefiles before the "Implicit rules",
so that a plain "make" will compile everything (suggested by Matthias
Schwarzott). The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly.
Plugin authors may want to change their Makefiles, too.
- Added DESTDIR and PREFIX handling to the Makefile (thanks to Matthias
Schwarzott).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added internationalization to the "skincurses" plugin (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Checking the string for NULL in I18nTranslate().
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bruno Roussel).
- Some optimizations in cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Optimized cMenuEditChrItem::Set() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Optimized cNitFilter::Process() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Reduced the number of time(NULL) calls in vdr.c's main loop to a single call
(thanks to Tobias Bratfisch).
- Changed cBitmap::DrawText() to always draw the background unless ColorBg
is clrTransparent (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- The "Setup/OSD/Language" menu now only shows those languages that actually
have a locale (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Now using setenv() instead of setlocale() to set the language for gettext()
(suggested by Anssi Hannula; thanks also to Ludwig Nussel for a hint on using
_nl_msg_cat_cntr).
- When scanning the locale directory, VDR now explicitly looks for a file named
vdr.mo. Text files for plugins are now named "vdr-name.mo", when "name" is the
name of the plugin. The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly, and
plugin authors should change their Makefiles, too.

- All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and
debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to
find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in
the past.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace()
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting
Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder).
- Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by
Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script
'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext
format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function
cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't
have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to
the gettext format will only present English texts.
See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how
to make strings in arrays translatable.
See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing
translations.
- The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and
each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name
to the code.
- The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section
for i18n support.
- The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale
code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not
set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the
locale as defined in the system environment is used by default.
- The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated,
so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the
one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to
Alexander Rieger).
- Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license
information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by
Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same.
- Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville
Skyttä).
- cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to
avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas
Mair).
- Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still
attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).

- Fixed some spelling errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a busy loop in fast forward if the next video data file is missing
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling frequencies in NitFilter::Process() (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed a race condition with signal handlers at program exit (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Non-primary devices in Transfer mode are now also used for recording (thanks
to Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling ChannelUp/Down keys if there is currently a replay running
(thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The new SVDRP command REMO can be used to turn VDR's remote control off and
on in case other programs need to be controlled (based on patches from Krzysztof
Parma and Helmut Auer).
- Increased the maximum number of CA system ids to cope with the AlphaCrypt
CAM's version 3.11 firmware.
- Fixed getting the code setting from the locale (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Implemented support for Freetype fonts (based on a patch from Alexander Riedel).
The font names and sizes can be adjusted in the "Setup/OSD" menu.
Note that VDR now requires freetype fonts to be installed in
/usr/share/fonts/truetype.
- If the OSD device in use has at least 8bpp bitmap depth and this is also
used by the current skin, Freetype fonts are displayed "anti-aliased".
The new setup parameter "OSD/Anti-alias" can be used to turn this off.
- The new function cOsd::SetAntiAliasGranularity() can be used to help the OSD
in managing the available color palette entries when doing anti-aliasing.
Skins that use 8bpp bitmaps can call this function with the maximum number
of colors used, and the maximum number of color combinations. The OSD will
then evenly split the available palette entries between the various colors
combinations, so that fonts can be "anti-aliased". By default a total of
10 colors and 10 combinations is assumed.
- The pixel fonts have been completely removed from the VDR source.
- VDR is now "UTF-8 aware". It handles strings according to the character
encoding used on the user's system. All internationalization strings and
incoming SI data are converted to the system encoding.
- Plugins that handle strings need to be aware that on systems with UTF-8
encoding a "character symbol" may consist of more than a single byte in
memory. The functions and macros named Utf8...() can be used to handle
strings without needing to care about the underlying character encoding
(see tools.h for details).
- Even though the weekdays of repeating timers are presented to the user as UTF-8
characters in the OSD, the timers.conf file and the SVDRP timer commands still
use single byte characters ("MTWTFSS") to make sure this information is handled
correctly between systems with different character encodings.
- Added a missing i18n string for "CAM" in the Turkish OSD texts.
- Improved editing strings that are too long to fit into the editable area.
- Changes to the OSD settings in the "Setup/OSD" menu now immediately take effect
when the "Ok" key is pressed.

- Fixed a possible segfault if VDR gets terminated while a message is displayed
(thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed the INSTALL section on retrying shutdown later (reported by Udo Richter).
- When entering text via the numeric keys, the characters are now checked against
the allowed characters (thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Added a missing break statement in cCiHandler::OpenSession().
|
|
- Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information
(thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks
to Udo Richter).
- The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished
in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2).
- Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a
time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording,
or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min.
event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the
reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is
"Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future.
- Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with
a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.

- Fixed the Makefile of the 'servicedemo' plugin, so that it defines the
PLUGIN macro, which allows the Make.config file to react properly when
compiling the plugin (reported by Bernd Melcher).
Note to all plugin developers: a plugin's Makefile *must* define the PLUGIN
macro, even if it doesn't use it itself!
- Added a comment regarding the PLUGIN macro to the 'newplugin' script.
- Added '--vfat' to the vdr.1 man page (reported by Udo Richter).
- Removed a double fdopen() in cPipe::Open() (reported by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
in case they are added after the current event.
- cEIT::cEIT() now calls pSchedule->SetPresentSeen() even if OnlyRunningStatus is
true.
- Newlines in title and short text of an EPG event are now changed into blanks only
after all other fixes, because a short text might become a description.
- Fixed handling network masks in the svdrphosts.conf file (thanks to Patrick
Maier).
- Fixed handling relative volume settings in the call to cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
(reported by Norbert Wentz).
- Added a missing initialization of 'mutex' in cCiMenu::cCiMenu() and removed
some superfluous semicolons in ci.c (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling client side termination of SVDRP connections (thanks to Frank
Schmirler).
- cDevice::GetDevice() now prefers any device that's already receiving and doesn't
require detatching receivers (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Fixed handling numeric keys in the channel display after switching channel groups
(thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Menu items derived from cMenuEditIntItem now loop though their values if they
have a dedicated minimum or maximum limit (suggested by Andy Grobb). Looping is
only done for normal keypresses, not for repeated ones. This allows the user to
scroll the value all the way to the limit by keeping the key pressed.

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

- Fixed initializing 'noapiv' in the Makefile (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed extracting APIVERSION to work with older versions of 'sed' (reported by
Oliver Endriss; thanks also to Udo Richter for a shorter version of the 'sed'
expression).
- Fixed broken APIVERSION extraction line in 'newplugin' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed entering '0' in a cMenuEditIntItem (reported by Mirko Dölle).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Nino Gerbino).
- Added a note about adding 'INCLUDES += -I$(DVBDIR)/include' to an existing
Make.config (problem reported by Markus Ehrnsperger).
- Fixed handling the cPluginManager::Active() result when pressing the "Power" key
(reported by Werner Färber).
- Added a hint about commenting out the line '#define USE_FADVISE' in tools.c in
case of problems with replaying in fast forward mode if the video directory is
mounted via a Samba share (reported by Andy Grobb).
- Changed the "Really restart?" prompt in the call to cPluginManager::Active() in
menu.c to "restart anyway?" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed the obsolete "'1' for encrypted radio channels" part from the description
of the VPID in vdr.5 (reported by Alexander Hans).
- Fixed tuning to the channel of a VPS timer if the device is the actual device.

- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Pierre Briec).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Fixed wrong credits for the patch that was used to implement cPlugin::Active().
- Simplified the 'grep|awk|sed' command to retrieve the VDR/APIVERSION to a single
'sed' call.
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Modified the German OSD texts to be "less technical" (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended the version number reported with the '-V' option to also show the
current APIVERSION (suggested by Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling empty titles in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed some missing '-' in the German OSD texts (thanks to Walter Koch).
- Added an error message about plugins that don't honor APIVERSION in their Makefile
(based on a suggestion by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a format string in recording.c to avoid a compiler warning on 64bit systems
(thanks to Christian Wieninger for reporting, and Werner Schweer for pointing out
that the 'z' modifier should be used here).
- Ignoring k_Repeat when deciding whether the same key has been pressed in string
input fields (based on a patch from Marko Mäkelä).
|
|
- 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:

- Implemented kNext and kPrev keys (based on a patch from Peter Juszack).

- Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt).
- The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to
allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this
version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because

- 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.

- Fixed handling broken PMT records (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out how
to detect these).
- Added a missing "Button$" for the Timer button and "Key$" in skinclassic.c
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed broken entry 'A111.1W' in sources.conf (reported by Luca Olivetti).
- Replaced the obsolete entry 'S21.5E' in the default 'diseqc.conf' with 'S13.0E'
(reported by Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed learning keys when VDR is already running (thanks to Jurij Retzlaff).
- Fixed handling the system time transponder setting in the Setup/EPG menu, which
was broken by the min/max fix in cMenuEditIntItem.
- VPS timers now record only events that have exactly the given start time.
This fix also implements recording several subsequent events that have the
same VPS time (like a sports event with intermittent news breaks).
- When checking for timers that have entered the "VPS margin", any free devices are
now used to switch to the needed transponder. This improves cases where more than
one VPS timer is about to start.
- Fixed handling the VPS margin in case the event's duration is shorter than the
margin.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the primary device needs to switch to the
timer's transponder.
- Now avoiding the 'actual' device when starting a recording, so that a Transfer
Mode for live tv isn't interrupted.
- Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- cSkins::QueueMessage() called from a background thread with an empty message
now clears all messages that have been previously queued by that thread and have
not yet beed displayed (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed handling the color button texts when switching from the 'Schedule' menu of
a channel without EPG info to the 'What's on now' menu (reported by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- cMenuEditIntItem and cMenuEditChanItem can now be given strings to label the
minimum and maximum values, and the case that no channel has been selected,
respectively.
- The initial channel and volume can now be defined in the "Setup/Miscellaneous"
menu (based on a patch from Thomas Keil).
- When hitting the end of a recording in fast forward mode, VDR no longer switches
back to normal speed if the recording is already finished (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- No longer calling cPlugin::ProcessArgs() if VDR is run with the --help or
--version option, to avoid error messages from plugins (reported by Udo Richter).
- Now checking whether there is any text before calling cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem()
(reported by Joachim Wilke).
|
|
- Fixed updating the "Info" button in the "Timers" menu.
- Reduced the number of events to actually check when setting events to timers.
- cMenuEditIntItem now checks the given value and forces it to be between the
given min and max limits.
- The status changes of EPG events are now logged for all channels that have timers.
- Removed the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (thanks to
Christoph Haubrich for reporting that this is irritating when calling "vdr --help").
- Fixed cReadLine::Read() for lines that end with the infamous "\r\n" (thanks to
Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetAudioBypass() in case setTransferModeForDolbyDigital is false
(thanks to Werner Fink).
- Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed the shutdown timeout (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
- Only calling RemoveEmptyVideoDirectories() once in case a recording has been
deleted (reported by Hardy Flor).
- Fixed deleting recordings that have been removed externally when running out of
disk space (reported by Jan Lenz).
- Fixed handling repeating VPS timers (they stopped recording too early).
- Timer log messages now show "VPS" if this is a VPS timer.
- Fixed getting the present EPG event in case none is currently 'running' (it
then returns the one that just ended).
- Fixed calling a plugin's main menu function while a message is being displayed
(reported by Helmut Auer).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Made cMenuRecordings::GetRecording() 'protected' (suggested by Marius Heidenstecker).
- Speeded up cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Enhanced logging EPG event data.
- Fixed format string handling (thanks to Darren Salt).
- The new function cDevice::ForceTransferMode() can be used to force the primary
device into transfer mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'version' of EPG events is now ignored when reading EPG data from 'epg.data'
or via SVDRP/PUTE to avoid problems with double EPG events.
- The 'running status' of EPG events is now only set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning
for events before the present event.
- Fixed some #include sequences.
- Single shot VPS timers are now only considered 'expired' if their associated
EPG event has been explicitly set to SI::RunningStatusNotRunning.
- The check for timers to be deleted is now done only every 30 seconds.

- 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.
|
|
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
(reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta).
Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
(reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
(reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
|
|
- Fixed a second place where a message should be given when an instant recording
is started (reported by Jesus Bravo Alvarez).
- Modified logging so that even on NPTL systems each line in the log file shows
the individual thread's pid (based on a suggestion from Francois-Xavier Kowalski).
- Fixed a problem with @plugin in keymacros.conf in case the named plugin is not
loaded (reported by Franz Gangkofer).
- Fixed a crash after executing the SVDRP command CLRE, caused by dangling 'schedule'
pointers from cChannel objects (reported by Malte Schröder).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Improved NULL checking in strreplace().
- Fixed a crash in the Schedule menu with events that have no title (reported by
Rolf Ahrenberg). cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now assigns a "No title" string to events
that have no title.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Recordings are now only started if there is at least 300MB free disk space
(suggested by Markus Hahn).
- When entering text via the numeric keys, the cursor now automatically advances
(based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts and the fontosd-iso8859-2.c file (thanks to Jaroslaw
Swierczynski).
- Disabled the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode. Last chance to complain if you
really need it - it will be completely removed in the next version. If you are
experiencing problems with a/v running out of sync, try the latest driver and
firmware (if you are using a full featured DVB card).
- Switching channels with the Up/Down or Channel+/Channel- keys now works a lot
faster when the repeat function kicks in, by not actually switching the
channel every time, but rather only displaying the channel info and doing
the final switch when the key is released.
- The channel display is now updated _before_ the channel is switched.
- Added a missing initialization of 'timeout' in the cDisplayChannel constructor.
- Fixed detecting if there can be any useful further input when entering channel
numbers (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Jesus Bravo Alvarez).
- Fixed handling the '0' key for switching between the last two channels (thanks
to Thomas Bergwinkl).
|
|
- Fixed handling second audio and Dolby Digital PIDs for encrypted channels
(was broken in version 1.3.37).
- Improved TS/PES conversion to better handle lost TS packets (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Limited the frequency of log messages from the cRepackers.
- Now using the gettid() syscall to get a thread's pid, so that we get a
useful value on NPTL systems (suggested by Johannes Stezenbach).
- Fixed the RCU remote control handling to avoid problems with NPTL (thanks
to Andreas Share for reporting a lockup with the RCU on NPTL systems).
- When displaying the amount of free disk space, the space consumed by
recordings that have been "deleted" but not yet actually "removed" is now
taken into account (suggested by Christian Vogt).
- Now avoiding unnecessary disk access when checking if there are deleted
recordings that need to be removed (reported by Carsten Koch).
- Fixed handling the DELETEDLIFETIME when removing deleted recordings. Now
a deleted recording is retained at least DELETEDLIFETIME seconds before
actually removing it.
The value of DELETEDLIFETIME has been changed to 300. So after (possibly
inadvertently) deleting a recording, there will be at least 5 minutes
in which it can be recovered (unless a new recording immediately requires
the disk space). The count starts again at 0 every time VDR is started.
- Fixed a possible crash when displaying the "Low disk space!" message from
a background thread (thanks to Christof Steininger).
- Fixed handling OSD areas that have invalid sizes (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a mutex to AssertFreeDiskSpace() to make sure calls from foreground
and background threads won't interfere.
- The main menu now dynamically updates its contents in case an instant
recording or replay stops, etc.
- The version number of EPG events is now also stored in the epg.data file
(thanks to Kendy Kutzner).
- EPG events that are no longer in the currently broadcasted data stream are
now automatically deleted.
- Removed an invalid access to Event->schedule in cSchedule::DelEvent().
- Modified cSchedule::Cleanup() (events are always sorted by time).
- Schedules are now cleaned up once every hour (not only at 05:00).
- The "Schedule" and "What's on now/next?" menus are now updated if a timer
is set or modified.
- cTimer no longer has its own 'schedule' member, it rather uses that of the
event it has been set to.
- The "Red" button in the "Schedule", "What's on now/next?" and "Event" menus
now immediately creates a timer for the selected event and marks it with 'T'.
If the event is already marked with 'T', the "Red" button opens the "Edit
timer" menu for that timer.
- Removing deleted recordings is now done in a separate thread.
- Dropped the unused "stop recording on primary interface" stuff.
- Converting a grabbed image to JPEG is now done with the new function
RgbToJpeg() (see tools.h).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now determines the image type (JPEG or PNM) from the
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm") of the given file name. The explicit
'jpeg' or 'pnm' parameter is still accepted for backward compatibility, but
has no meaning any more.
- The function cDevice::GrabImage() no longer writes the grabbed image to a
file, but rather returns a pointer to the image in memory. The wrapper
function cDevice::GrabImageFile() can be used to write the grabbed image
directly to a file. Plugins that used the old version of cDevice::GrabImage()
need to be adapted to the new interface.
- The new class cBase64Encoder (see tools.h) can be used to encode data in
base64 (thanks to Bob Withers for publishing his Base64 class).
- The SVDRP command GRAB now writes the image data to the SVDRP connection
(encoded in base64) if the given file name consists of only the file
extension (".jpg", ".jpeg" or ".pnm"), or if only "-" is given as file
name (based on a suggestion from Darren Salt).
A simple way of viewing a grabbed image on a remote host is:
svdrpsend.pl -d <hostname> 'grab -' | sed -n -e 's/^216-//p' -e '1ibegin-base64 644 -' -e '$a====' | uudecode | display -
- The new command line option '-g' must be given if the SVDRP command GRAB
shall be allowed to write image files to disk. The parameter to this option
must be the full path name of an existing directory, without any "..", double
'/' or symlinks. By default, or if "-g- is given, grabbing to files is
not allowed any more because of potential security risks.
- Modified the way the SVDRP command GRAB writes the grabbed image to a file
to avoid a security hole (CAN-2005-0071, reported by Javier Fernández-Sanguino
Peña):
+ The file handle is now opened in a way that it won't follow symbolic links
(suggested by Darren Salt).
+ The given file name is now canonicalized, so that it won't contain any
".." or symlinks (suggested by Darren Salt).
+ Grabbing to files is limited to the directory given in the the command
line option '-g'. By default grabbing to files is not allowed any more.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Changed all "illegal" to "invalid" in error messages (there's nothing "illegal"
in VDR ;-).
- When started as user 'root' VDR now switches to a lesser privileged user id,
keeping the capability to set the system time (based on a patch from Ludwig
Nussel). By default the user id 'vdr' is used, which can be changed through
the new command line option '-u'. Note that for security reasons VDR will no
longer run as user 'root' (unless you explicitly start it with '-u root',
but this is not recommended!). The 'runvdr' script has been changed to
use the '-u' option.
- Changed the API of the functions cStatus::Recording() and cStatus::Replaying(),
so that they can provide the full file name of the recording. Plugins that use
these (or the related cStatus::Msg...() functions) need to be adapted
(suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- The DVB devices now retune (and, if applicable, resend the DiSEqC data) if
the lock is lost (based on a patch from Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling multi byte key sequences in cKbdRemote (based on a patch from
Jürgen Schneider).
- Removed unused variables in skinclassic.c and skinsttng.c (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Made the static cControl functions thread safe (thanks to Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed initializing pthread_mutexattr_t and pthread_rwlockattr_t to avoid
warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed incrementing the 'state' variables in the repacker classes in remux.c
to avoid warnings with g++ 4.1.0 (reported by Ville Skyttä).
- The Makefile now reports a summary of failed plugins (thanks to Udo Richter).
- The cTimer constructor can now take an optional cChannel (suggested by
Patrick Fischer).
- Fixed setting the main thread id if VDR is running as a daemon.
- Fixed handling TS packets in cTS2PES (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added cTimer::SetPriority() to set a timer's priority (suggested by Kendy Kutzner).
- Added cMenuEditStrItem::InEditMode() (suggested by Christian Wieninger).
- Now using FE_READ_STATUS to read the current frontend status (suggested by
Holger Wächtler).
- The "Menu" key now behaves consistently. If there is anything on the OSD, it
is closed when the "Menu" key is pressed, and if there is nothing on the OSD,
the "Menu" key opens the main menu (suggested by Luca Olivetti).
- The new option "Setup/OSD/Timeout requested channel info" can be used to turn
off the automatic timeout of the channel display in case it was invoked by
a press of the "Ok" key (suggested by Thiemo Gehrke).
- A message is now given when an instant recording is started (suggested by
Helmut Auer). Actually the code was already there, just commented out - don't
remember why it wasn't active...
- Removed an obsolete "Summary" text from i18n.c and preceded all key definition
texts with "Key$" to avoid duplicates (reported by Lucian Muresan).
- Preceded all button texts with "Button$".
- Removed obsolete "Eject", "Language" and "scanning recordings..." texts.
- Added missing #include "thread.h" to dvbspu.c (reported by Gavin Hamill).
- Disabled the use of "fadvise" in cUnbufferedFile because there have been
several reports that it causes more problems than it solves (suggested by
Petri Hintukainen). If you want to use "fadvise", you can activate the line
//#define USE_FADVISE
in tools.c.
- Removed unused 'offset' member from cOsdItem.
- In the "Channels" menu the numeric keys now position the cursor to the channel
with the given number (see MANUAL, section "Remote Control Keys", note (3) for
details).
- The "Mark/Move" function in the "Channels" menu now also works in the non-numeric
sort modes.
- The default cOsdObject::Show() now automatically calls cOsdMenu::Display() if
this is a menu.
- The new "Info" key brings up information on the currently viewed programme
or recording. For a live programme this is the same as "Schedule/Ok", i.e. the
description of the current EPG event. For a recording this is the same as shown
by the "Info" button in the "Recordings" menu. Plugins that implement players
can overwrite their cControl::GetInfo() function to show their own info (see
PLUGINS.html for details). Pressing the "Info" key again while the info is
displayed will close the OSD. In order to assign this new key to an existing
remote control setup, the remote.conf file needs to be deleted and VDR has
to be restarted to go through the process of learning the remote control keys.
- Any cReceivers still attached to a cDevice when that device switches to a
different transponder are now automatically detached (suggested by Patrick
Fischer).
- The "flags" of a timer are now handled as an unsigned integer value. In order
to do this, the interface of cMenuEditBitItem also had to be changed.
- In string entry fields (like, e.g., the file name of a recording) the characters
can now be entered by pressing the numeric keys, the same way as on a
telephone keypad (based on the "Easy Input" patch from Marcel Schaeben).
- Fixed the "Day" field of the "Edit timer" menu when pressing '0' to switch
from "single shot" to "weekly", followed by the "Right" key (reported by
Andreas Böttger).
- The file 'ca.conf' is obsolete and has been removed.
- Revised all descriptions regarding CICAM.
- Adapted c(Dvb)Device::ProvidesCa() to the dynamic CA handling.
- Added a mutex to synchronize cDevice::PlayPesPacket() and SetCurrentAudioTrack()
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a SleepMs() in cRecorder::Action() to avoid a busy loop (thanks to Ingo
Schneider).
- Cleaned up some trailing white space.
|
|
- Added compiler options "-fPIC -g" to all plugins (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the day index when editing the weekday parameter of a
repeating timer (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer removing superfluous hyphens in EPG data - would become too
language dependent to handle all kinds of exceptions.
- Modified switching to Dolby Digital audio in live mode, if the driver
and firmware can handle live DD without the need of a Transfer Mode (thanks
to Werner Fink). Live DD mode requires a full featured DVB card and a
LinuxDVB driver with firmware version 0x2622 or higher. Older versions will
use Transfer Mode just like before.
- Implemented handling of the "CA PMT Reply" for CAMs (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler for figuring out some obscure length bytes in the CA PMT Reply
data of AlphaCrypt CAMs).
- Some preparations for being able to record several encrypted channels from
the same transponder at the same time (or record and view different encrypted
channels), provided the CAM in use can handle this. This is work in progress
and isn't actively used, yet.
- Fixed SetProgress() in the 'skincurses' plugin in case Total is 0 (reported
by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added a copy constructor to cString and fixed its assignment operator
(thanks to Holger Brunn).
- The new function Skins.QueueMessage() can be called from a background thread
to queue a message for display. See VDR/skins.h for details.
- The SVDRP command MESG uses the new message queueing facility, so MESG
commands may now be executed at any time, and the message will be displayed
(no more "pending message").
|
|
- Fixed two errors in 'newplugin' (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Fixed converting arbitrarily formatted summary.vdr files (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Fixed handling color buttons in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Alexander Rieger).
- Added cChannel::LinkChannels() and cChannel::RefChannel() (suggested by Helmut Auer).
Note that VDR itself doesn't actually use the linked channels, yet, so there is
no guarantee that this really works under all circumstances.
- Added a missing include statement to the 'sky' plugin (thanks to Alfred Zastrow
for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling key macros with keys after @plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for
reporting this one).
- Fixed error handling in cCiTransportConnection::RecvTPDU() (thanks to Georg Acher
for reporting this one).
- Removed obsolete 'shift' code in device.[hc].
- The SVDRP command DELR no longer triggers a complete reload of the global Recordings
list, but rather deletes that particular entry.
- The list of recordings is now read in a separate thread, resulting in a faster
startup if there are a great many of recordings, or the disk(s) have to spin up.
If the Recordings menu is opened while the list of recordings is still being read,
the menu will be updated accordingly.
Plugins that access the global Recordings variable should lock the thread
by putting something like
cThreadLock RecordingsLock(&Recordings);
into the respective code block. Thanks to Carsten Koch for his help in testing
and debugging this.
- The 'new' indicator in the Recordings menu is now kept up-to-date (thanks to
Thomas Günther).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- The '.update' file in the video directory is now touched when a recording is
added or deleted, so that other VDR instances can update their lists (thanks to
Alexander Rieger).
- Made the function ExchangeChars() public (suggested by Lucian Muresan).
|
|
- The setup option "DVB/Video display format" is now only available if "Video format"
is set to "4:3" (suggested by Mikko Salo).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Dropped CA support for the old '-icam' firmware.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Fixed a few French OSD texts that were in the wrong place.
- Improved matching timers to EPG events, especially in case there are several events
with the same VPS time.
- Fixed cDolbyRepacker to allow recording ProSieben HD broadcasts (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Fixed cDvbDevice::SetVideoDisplayFormat() in case of 16:9 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The running status of a VPS event is now only taken seriously if that event has been
seen within the last 30 seconds - otherwise recording is done as if no VPS was
available.
- The day of a timer is now stored as a full date in ISO notation ("YYYY-MM-DD") in
'timers.conf' and for the result of the SVDRP command LSTT (based in parts on a
patch by Roman Krenický).
- Some fixes to avoid compiler warnings in gcc 4.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting
these).
- Single shot timers are now reliably deleted when they have expired.
- Fixed setting the colored button help after deleting a recording in case the next
menu entry is a directory (thanks to Steffen Beyer).
- Improved falling back to normal recording if the VPS data hasn't been seen for more
than 30 seconds.
- Added a missing cMutexLock to cRemote::HasKeys() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- All log entries regarding timers now contain a short description of the timer.
|
|
- Fixed cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() to make sure it doesn't access memory beyond
the end of the given buffer, which has caused some unjustified "unknown
picture type errors" (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible crash when pausing live video and the recording was unable
to start, maybe because there was no lock on the device (thanks to Andreas
Brugger for reporting this one).
- Fixed some characters in the iso8859-2 font file (thanks to Dino Ravnic).
- Fixed some errors in the Croatian language texts (thanks to Dino Ravnic).
- Fixed a possible recursion in cControl::Shutdown() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- Now setting the VPID before the APID in live mode to avoid unnecessary
overhead in the firmware (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Now checking available OSD memory at runtime (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Olaf Titz).
- Fixed handling childTid in cThread to avoid possible race conditions (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out).
- Fixed toggling the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu, so that it selects the
right day of week for timers in the future.
- Some improvements to cPoller (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
|
|
- Fixed cChannel::SetName() in case only the ShortName or Provider has changed
(thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Added Danish language texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Reactivated the NPTL check at startup because there appear to be still
unsolved problems when running on NPTL systems.
- Added missing calls to cStatus::MsgOsdClear() in cSkins::Message() (thanks
to Joachim Wilke for reporting this one, and Andreas Regel for additional
input).
- Fixed the cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed handling of pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed a short glitch when starting a recording on the primary device while
in replay or transfer mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added missing initialization of cEvent::seen.
- Checking PID language codes for ISO 639 compliance to avoid problems with
funny characters. Invalid language codes will be stored as "???".
- The '0' key now toggles the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu between "single
shot" and "repeating". The keys '1'...'7' can be used to toggle the individual
days ('1' is Monday). Thanks to Sascha Klek for reporting a problem with the
'0' key in the "Day" item of the "Timers" menu.

- In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do
'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR.
- Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it
introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same
transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off
UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem
with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the
video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for
reporting this one).
Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file!
- Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo).
- Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting
a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin).
- Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the
channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was
a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting
this one).
- No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for
recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle).
- The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays
when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to
the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu.
If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function
Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file
'.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
- Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers
has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually
implemented for FF DVB cards.
- Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard
Cedric for reporting this one).
- Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing
out this one).
- Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig
Nussel for reporting this one).
|
|
- Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess).
- Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6.
- Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6).
- Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig).
- Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to
Pekka Virtanen).
- Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them
available for plugins.
- The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts.
- The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of
the small font (see MANUAL for details).
- Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd.
Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements.
- Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to
the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the
driver, together with the endian problem).
- The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left
corner of the OSD.
- The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters).
When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth
and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically.
- The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the
description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD
display on arbitrary hardware.
- The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several
XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these
have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how
to use these.
- Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD
has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this
functionality later.
- The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc],
VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how
a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin
that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin
named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can
be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin".
- The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html
for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the
structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through
"Setup/OSD/Theme".
- Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor).
NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font,
because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one
in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9
and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's
going wrong here...
- Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to
Pekka Virtanen).
- Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for
pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the
actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and
set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly
(this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).

- 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).
|
|
- 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).

- 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).
|
|
- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca
value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids
problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device.
- The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item
even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu
(thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message
instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3.
- Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible
(thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for
helping to fix it).
- Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell).
- Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to
Werner Fink).
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
written.
- Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay
(thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width
(thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to
Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy
Grobb for reporting this one).
- Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own
resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in
the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details).
- Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version
and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it).
- If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device
is now used as primary device (just to have some device).
- Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks
to Sascha Volkenandt).
- The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to
the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same
applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup.
- Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate
an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
|
|
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to
Paul Gohn).
- Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus.
- Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from
a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader
class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load.
- Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams
with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
- Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode'
and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu
Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls.
- Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange).
- Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm).
- Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no'
were mixed up).
- Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Changed EIT processing to always read a full section.
- Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens
Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele).
- Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.
|
|
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti)
and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground.
- Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks
to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one).
- Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally
defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele).
Plugin authors should please change the lines
CXX = g++
CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual
in their Makefile to
CXX ?= g++
CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual
- Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case
DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined
(thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti).
- No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to
Sven Goethel).
- Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the
menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that
are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the
cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available
through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote
control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing).
- Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode.
- Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel
for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments).
See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have
already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.
|
|
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the
distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation.
If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may
want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary.
- Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and
replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need
to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented.
- cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function
cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can
receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a
device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here.
- Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle
multiple recordings.
- Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived
cDevice classes.
- Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying
of data.
- Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices
receiving multiple channels.
- Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels
that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are
recording and these channels are on different transponders).
- Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
- Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
|
|
- Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with
'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice).
By default it currently still uses the old driver.
- Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!",
since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people.
- Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this
in his DXR3 plugin).
- cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class
can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for
further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall
check if any of its file handles is ready for data.
- Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt).
- VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if
there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code
itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.
|

- 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.
|
|
- Separated the actual DVB hardware OSD implementation from the abstract OSD
interface. 'osdbase.c/.h' now implements the abstract OSD, while 'dvbosd.c/.h'
is the actual implementation for the DVB hardware. This is in preparation for
allowing additional kinds of OSD hardware implementations.
- Fixed leftover references to the file FORMATS in MANUAL and svdrp.c.
- Avoiding ambiguities in the cList template class in case one defines a "list of
lists" (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Simplified the basic cMenuSetupPage class for easier use in plugins.
- Added setup parameters and a Setup menu to the 'hello' plugin example.
- Fixed logging error message for unknown config parameters in plugins.
- Rearranged cleanup sequence at the end of the main program.
- Adapted PLUGINS.html to use the actual code examples from the 'hello' plugin.
|
|
- 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.
