- Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group". - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of folders stored in "folders.conf". - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt). - Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 1800. - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again. - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 3600. - The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible. When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo() - The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format.
2008-04-13Version 1.7.0vdr-1.7.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0.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).
2007-01-07Version 1.5.0vdr-1.5.0Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2006-05-28Version 1.4.0-2vdr-1.4.0-2Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2005-01-23Version 1.3.19vdr-1.3.19Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-08-04Version 1.1.6vdr-1.1.6Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-06-16Version 1.1.3vdr-1.1.3Klaus Schmidinger
- Improved the VDR Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(MAKE) to call recursive makes. - Changed the name of the 'package' target in the plugin Makefiles to 'dist' (following the suggestions in the "GNU Make" manual). If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Improved the plugin Makefile to avoid a warning if the '.dependencies' file does not exist, and also using $(shell...) to get the version numbers. If you already have started a plugin project, you may want to change this in your Makefile accordingly. - Fixed some function headers to make them compile with gcc 3.x (thanks to Gregoire Favre). - Fixed the cutting mechanism to make it re-sync in case a frame is larger than the buffer (thanks to Sven Grothklags). - Added an error message if the directory specified in the '-L' option can't be accessed (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Rearranged OSD class names to make 'cOsd' available for the main OSD interface. - Completely moved OSD handling out of the cDvbApi class, into the new cOsd. - Implemented cStatus to allow plugins to set up a status monitor. See PLUGINS.html for details. - Moved the cEITScanner out of dvbapi.h/.c, into the new eitscan.h/.c. - Added Swedish language texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil). - Fixed parsing 'E' records in epg2html.pl (thanks to Matthias Fechner for pointing out this one). - Removed compiler option '-m486' to make it work on non-Intel platforms. If you have already started a plugin project, you may want to make sure you remove this option from your existing Makefile. - Completely rearranged the recording and replay functions to make them available to plugins. - Replay is now done in a single thread (no more syncing between input and output thread necessary). - It is now possible to record several channels on the same transponder with "budget cards". VDR automatically attaches a recording timer to a card that already records on the appropriate transponder. How many parallel recordings can actually be done depends on the computer's performance. Currently any number of recordings gets attached to a card, so you should carefully plan your timers to not exceed the limit. On a K6-II/450 it was possible to record three channels from transponder 12480 with a single WinTV NOVA-S. - Timers that record two successive shows on the same channel may now overlap and will use the same DVB card. During the time where both timers record the data is simply saved to both files. - The following limitations apply to this version: + Transfer mode doesn't work yet. + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet. + Cutting doesn't work yet.
