- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was
revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now
requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto.
Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may
want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to
the previous version of VDR!
- Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under
heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to
Andreas Mair).
- Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems
with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).

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

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

- Making sure at least the default skin is available at program start in case a
plugin needs to issue an error message (thanks to Achim Tuffentshammer for
reporting a crash in such a case). Also checking if there is a current skin
in cSkins::Message().
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts and fixed internationalization of the text
for "Setup/DVB/Audio language(s)" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Completed the Estonian OSD texts and switched to iso8859-13 character set
(thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Made cCondWait::SleepMs() sleep at least 3ms to avoid a possible busy wait.
- Fixed canceling the LIRC thread (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing out
this one).
- The "Green" button in the "Main" menu is now always "Audio", since the audio
channel might be changed even if there is only one actual audio PID.
- Fixed handling the '-E' option which was broken in version 1.3.18 (thanks to
Christian Jacobsen for reporting this one).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Mainz (thanks to Michael Heyse).
- Implemented cDolbyRepacker for better handling of Dolby Digital PES packets
(thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed playing files with PES packets longer than 2048 byte through the full
featured DVB card (thanks to Marco Kremer for reporting this one and providing
a test sample).
- Recording and Transfer Mode now handle more than 2 audio PIDs. For this the
interfaces of the following functions have been changed:
cTransferControl::cTransferControl()
cTransfer::cTransfer()
cRecorder::cRecorder()
cReceiver::cReceiver()
cRemux::cRemux()
- Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() and cTSBuffer::Action()
(thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Extended some buffer sizes to allow handling HDTV streams (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Düsseldorf and Köln (thanks to Walter Koch).
- Falling back to 'stereo' when switching channels in case the user had switched
to 'left' or 'right' (suggested by Rolf Groppe).
- Completed the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Recording and Transfer Mode can now handle up to 8 Dolby Digital tracks (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler for a patch that implements substream handling into
cDevice::PlayPesPacket(), and Reinhard Nissl for adding substream handling to
cDolbyRepacker).
- Added PlayPes(NULL, 0) to cTransfer::Action() when clearing the transfer buffer
to avoid overflows (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out).

- Re-visited the race condition fix in the cDvbPlayer (thanks again to Andreas
Schultz).
- Changed the VFAT handling to allow users who normally use it but have forgotten
to set it when compiling a new version of VDR to at least see their recordings
made with VFAT enabled (thanks to Christian Rienecker).
- Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Joerg Riechardt).
- Fixed PID handling for cReceiver.
- Added a missing #include to ringbuffer.c (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Now using CC, CFLAGS, CXX and CXXFLAGS in Makefile.
- Changed the cDevice class to allow plugins to implement their own devices (see
PLUGINS.html for details).

- 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.
