- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks
to Jeremy Hall).
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to
Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin
directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it:

### The object files (add further files here):
-------------------------------------------------------
This is the diff for the 'setup' example that comes with VDR, so your line
numbers may be different.
- Added a missing 'public' keyword in device.h (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Fixed a race condition when starting 'Transfer Mode'.
- Rearranged the remote control key handling to allow plugins to implement
additional types of remote controls (see PLUGINS.html, section "Remote Control").
The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced
by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls.
- The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys.
This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control,
without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR.
When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you
to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in
the file 'remote.conf'.
Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in
the process...
- While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu'
key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular
RC unit.
- Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary
device during EPG scan.
|
|
- 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.

- Changed the cPlugin::Start() function to return a boolean value that indicates
if the plugin will not be able to perform its task (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Added the cPlugin::Housekeeping() function (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Added 'insert' capabilities to cList (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed the 'package' target in the plugin's Makefile to produce a package that
expands to a directory with just the plugin name and version number (suggested
by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Made the config directory available to plugins (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
See PLUGINS.html, section "Configuration files" for details.
- Improved the [eid]syslog() macros, so that the LOG_... macros don't need to be
given any more.
|
|
- Implemented a lock file to prevent more than one instance of VDR from removing
files from the video directory at the same time.
- The new setup parameter SplitEditedFiles can be used to control whether or
not the result of an editing process shall be written into separate files.
- Fixed handling repeat function when using LIRC (thanks to Matthias Weingart).
- The shutdown program (defined with the '-s' option) now also gets the channel
number and recording title of the timer (see INSTALL).
- New channel data for 'Premiere One', 'Premiere X-Action', 'Fox Kids Türkce'
and 'N24' (thanks to Andreas Share, Ulrich Röder, Uwe Scheffler and Simon
Bauschulte). Note that if you are using the default 'channels.conf' or
'channels.conf.cable' files you may need to check any exiting timers to see
whether they still use the correct channel number.
- Fixed the "EPG bugfix" (sometimes had duplicate information in Subtitle and
Extended Description).
- Fixed checking for valid video device when setting the video mode.
- The external command 'sort' is no longer required. VDR now sorts the list of
recordings itself, making sure that recordings that stem from repeating timers
are sorted chronologically. Sorting is done according to the setting of the
current locale, so you may want to make sure LC_COLLATE is set to the desired
value (see INSTALL).
- Fixed handling 'newline' characters in EPG texts (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for
an improved version of his 'libdtv').
Newline characters are always mapped to a single "blank" in VDR, because they
would otherwise disturb the Title and Subtitle layout in the channel display
(where these are assumed to be single line texts) and would have to be
specially handled in the 'epg.data' file and the LSTE command in SVDRP.
- Mapping ` ("backtick") characters in EPG texts to ' (single quote).
- Fixed timers starting and ending at unexpected times. 'localtime()' was not
thread safe, now using localtime_r().
- Removed the "system time seen..." message.
- Fixed a bug in the replay mode display when pressing the Green or Yellow
button while in trick mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt)
- Closing all open file descriptors when calling external programs.
- The menu timeout now also works when pressing the "Back" button during replay
to enter the "Recordings" menu.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Helmut Schächner).
- Fixed reading timers.conf and channels.conf that contain blanks after numeric
values.
- Fixed handling trick modes near the beginning and end of a recording.
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying a DVD now leads to the DVD menu.
|
|
- Fixed displaying colored button texts that are too long.
- Suppressing replay progress display when replaying a DVD.
- Updated channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler).
- Updated French OSD texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto).
- Improved AC3 decoding when replaying DVDs (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Fixed handling DVB card indexes when using only one card in a multi-card
system.
- Changed the 'Eject DVD' button text to a simple 'Eject' (the German text
was too long...).
- Made the font file generation more stable (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Changed the default value for the "DiSEqC" setup parameter to "off".
- The new command line option '-E' can be used to define where the EPG data
shall be written to. This is especially useful if VDR runs in a system
that turns off the video disk when it is not used, and therefore needs
to write the EPG file to a ramdisk (or turn off writing it alltogether).
See 'vdr --help' for details.
- Making sure the disk is up and running before starting recording (this
is important for systems that turn off the video disk when it is not used).
- Added the "Jump" function in replay mode (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
See the description of the "Red" key in MANUAL under "Replay Control" for
details.
- Fixed displaying editing marks when toggling a mark in "pause" mode.
- If there is no free DVB device to record, the log message will now be given
only once.
- Made I/O more robust by handling EINTR (thanks to Werner Fink).
|
|
- Added Norwegian language texts (thanks to Jørgen Tvedt).
- Increased the usleep value in cDvbOsd::Cmd() to 5000 in order to work on
systems with the KURT/utime-patch (thanks to Guido Fiala).
- Changed the check whether the driver is loaded in runvdr to check for the
'dvb' module (the last one loaded).
- Fixed repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Increased the upper limit for the symbol rate to 30000 (thanks to Ulrich
Röder).
- Made the position of the channel display configurable (thanks to Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Made the width and height of the OSD configurable (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- DiSEqC support can now be generally enabled/disabled in the Setup menu. This
may be necessary if your multiswitch gets irritated by the default DiSEqC
codes '0' (thanks to Markus Lang).
- Fixed replaying in case there is no index file.
- Fixed jumping to an editing mark when replay has been paused.
- Avoiding unnecessary code execution in the replay progress display (thanks
to Guido Fiala).
- When entering time values the digits that still have to be entered are now
shown as '-' (as in "1-:--").
- When setting an editing mark while the progress display is not active, the
display will now be turned on for a short while to indicate the successful
setting of the mark.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for Premiere World (thanks to Helmut Schächner).
Check your timers if you use this channels.conf file, since the sequence of
several PW channels has been changed.
- Changed the color of "Info" messages to "black on green" and that of the
confirmation messages (like "Delete...") to "black on yellow".
- Fixed display with DEBUG_OSD (it still crashes sometimes, esp. when replaying,
but I can't seem to find what causes this... any ideas anybody?).
- Avoiding audio/video distortions in 'Transfer Mode' by no longer actually
tuning the primary interface (which can't receive this channel, anyway).
Apparently the driver gets irritated when the channel is switched and a
replay session is started immediately after that.
- Increased timeout until reporting "video data stream broken" when recording.
- Explicitly switching back to the previously active channel after ending a
replay session (to have it shown correctly in case it was in 'Transfer Mode').
|
|
- Fixed 'Transfer Mode' in cases where a non-primary interface was switched to
a channel that only the primary interface can receive (which could happen in
the EPG scanner).
- The EPG scanner now starts with the first channel (it used to start with the
second channel).
- Reacitvated setting the PNR.
- Adapted the frame scanning to the new muxing of the driver.
- The new compile time option REMOTE=NONE can be used to compile VDR without
any remote control support (for applications where it shall be controlled
exclusively via SVDRP).
- The new command line option -D can be used to define which DVB interfaces
a certain instance of VDR shall use.
- The "Left" and "Right" keys are now used to page up and down in lists (thanks
to Martin Hammerschmid). Since the "Timers" menu already uses these keys to
(de)activate timers, this functionality is not available there.
- The "Main" and "Commands" menu now support "hotkeys", which means that if the
first non-blank character of a menu item is a digit in the range 1..9, that
item can be selected by pressing the respective numeric key on the remote
control.
- The channel data in 'channels.conf' now contains the teletext PID (thanks to
Dave Chapman). Existing files will be read normally (and the teletext PID set
to 0), but once they are written back (due to some channel editing) the file
will have the new format.
- The EPG scanner now scans each transponder only once per cycle.
- Deleted recordings are now automatically removed from disk after a while (not
only when disk space is being needed for a new recording).
- Fixed repeat function in LIRC remote control.
- Changed the MAXDVBAPI macro in dvbapi.c to 4 in order to directly support the
maximum possible number of DVB cards.
- The 'Ca' parameter in the default 'channels.conf' has been changed from '2'
to '3' because the VDR prototype now has 3 DVB cards (and currently the CAM
module only works if it is inserted into the last DVB card).
- The "Now", "Next" and "Schedule" menus now remember the current channel and
restore the list when switching between them.
- The "Green" button in the "Recordings" menu can now be used to rewind a
recording and play it from the very beginning.
- Fixed handling ':' in timer filenames and '\n' in timer summaries (see FORMATS).
- When removing recordings empty directories are now removed from the video
directory.
- Added the "schnitt" tools from Matthias Schniedermeyer.
- New SVDRP command MESG to display a short message on the OSD.
- The Perl script 'svdrpsend.pl' can be used to send SVDRP commands to VDR.
- SVDRP can now immediately reuse the same port if VDR is restarted.
- SVDRP now has a timeout after which the connection is automatically closed
(default is 300 seconds, can be changed in "Setup").
- The compile time switch VFAT can be used to make VDR avoid the ':' character
in file names (VFAT can't handle them). Do 'make VFAT=1' to enable this.
- Support for DVB-C (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke and Peter Hofmann).
See the INSTALL file for more information about the use of VDR with cable.
- Fixed an occasional segfault in the EIT processor.
- A value of '0' for the EPGScanTimeout setup parameter now completely turns off
scanning for EPG data on both single and multiple card systems.
- New setup parameter "PrimaryLimit" that allows to prevent timers from using the
primary DVB interface in multi card systems. Default value is 0, which means
that every timer may use the primary interface.
- The 'active' field of a timer will now be explicitly set to '1' if the user
modifies an active timer (see FORMATS for details).
- The new command line option -w can be used to activate a watchdog that makes
VDR exit in case the main program loop does not respond for more than the
given number of seconds. This is mainly useful in combination with the new
'runvdr' script that restarts VDR in case is has exited.
|
|
- VDR now requires driver version 0.8.1 or higher.
- Recordings are now saved in PES mode. Note that you now need to install the
driver *WITHOUT* 'outstream=0'! This is the default when you 'make insmod' in
the DVB/driver directory.
Old recordings (in AV_PES mode) can still be replayed (as long as the driver
still supports replaying AV_PES files). The only limitation with this is that
in fast forward/back mode the picture may be slightly distorted and there may
be sound fragments.
- The EPG data is now dumped into the file /video/epg.data every ten minutes.
Use the Perl script 'epg2html.pl' to convert the raw EPG data into a simple
HTML programme listing.
- Fixed handling of channel switching with the "Blue" button in the "What's on
now/next?" menus.
- Fixed saving the MarginStop setup parameter.
- Fixed missing initialization in cConfig.
- Implemented "On Disk Editing".
- There is no more default 'timers.conf' file.
- Added Italian language texts (thanks to Alberto Carraro).
- Fixed starting a replay session when the program is currently in "transfer
mode".
- Fixed setting/modifying timers via SVDRP with empty summary fields.
- Fixed a problem with recordings that have a single quote character in their
name (this is now mapped to 0x01).
- Changed the value for Diseqc to '0' in the default 'channels.conf'.
- Fixed displaying channels and recording status in the RCU's LED display when
a recording is interrupted due to higher priority.
- Implemented safe writing of config files (first writes into a temporary file
and then renames it).
- In case the video data stream is broken the log message will come only every
5 seconds.
- The current channel is now saved in the 'setup.conf' file when VDR is cancelled,
and will be restored next time it is started (thanks to Deti Fliegl).
- The EIT scanning thread is now locked when switching channels to avoid problems.
- Encrypted channels can now be selected even without knowing the PNR (however, it
is still necessary for the EPG info).
|
|
- Date and time in the title of an event info page are now always right adjusted.
- The 'current channel' is now handled device specific (in case there is more
than one DVB card).
- The 'SetSystemTime' option in the "Setup" menu is now shown as "yes/no".
- Implemented "internationalization" (see 'i18n.c' for information on how to
add new languages). Thanks to Miha Setina for translating the OSD texts to
the Slovenian language.
- Fixed learning keys on the PC keyboard (display oscillated).
- Fixed a timing problem with OSD refresh and SVDRP.
- Avoiding multiple definitions of the same timer in the "Schedule" menu (this
could happen when pressing the "Red" button while editing the timer).
- There can now be a configuration file named 'commands.conf' that defines
commands that can be executed through the "Main" menu's "Commands" option
(see FORMATS for details on how to define these commands).
- Added a 'fixed' font for use with the output of system commands.
- The 'Priority' parameter of the timers is now also used to interrupt a low
priority timer recording if a higher priority timer wants to record.
- A timer recording on a DVB card with a CAM module will now be interrupted
by a timer that needs to use this specific DVB card to record an encrypted
channel, if the timer currently occupying this DVB card doesn't need the
CAM module (and thus can continue recording on a different DVB card).
- The "Yellow" button in the "What's on now/next?" menus now displays the
schedule of the current channel from that menu.
- All DVB cards in a multi-card system now write their EIT information into the
same data structure.
- If there is more than one DVB card in the system, the non-primary cards are
now used to periodically scan through the channels in order to keep the
EPG info up-to-date. Scanning kicks in after 60 seconds of user inactivity
(timeout in order to keep user interactions instantaneously) and each channel
that has the 'pnr' parameter defined in 'channels.conf' is switched to for
20 seconds. If there is only one DVB card in the system, that card will start
scanning after 5 hours (configurable through the "Setup" menu) of user inactivity
and will switch back to the channel it originally displayed at the first sign of
user activity. Any scanning will only occur if that particular card is not
currently recording or replaying.
- Now shifting the 'Subtitle' info into the 'ExtendedDescription' on stations
that don't send the EIT information correctly (like, e.g., 'VOX').
- Implemented a 10 seconds latency when removing files.
- Fixed unwanted reaction on the "Green" and "Yellow" button in the "Event" display.
- Implemented 'Transfer Mode' to display video data from the DVB card that actually
can receive a certain channel on the primary interface. This is currently in
an early state and may still cause some problems, but it appears to work nice
already.
|
|
- Remote control data is now received in a separate thread, which makes things
a lot smoother.
- Repeat and release of remote control keys is now explicitly distinguished.
- In replay mode the search forward/back and skip functions now have two modes:
Pressing the key shortly and releasing it starts the function, and pressing it
again stops it. Pressing and holding down the key starts the function and
releasing the key stops it.
- The '@' character that marks an "instant recording" can now be turned off
in the "Setup" menu (thanks to Matthias Schniedermeyer).
- Pressing the "Back" button while replaying now stops replaying and brings up
the "Recordings" menu (suggested by Carsten Koch). This can be used to easily
delete a recording after watching it, or to switch to a different recording.
- The "Recordings" menu now places the cursor on the last replayed recording, if
that file still exists.
- The "Blue" button in the "Main" menu can now be used to "Resume" a previously
stopped replay session (suggested by Martin Hammerschmid).
- The low and high LNB frequencies can now be changed in the "Setup" menu.
|
|
- Modified LIRC interface to better handle repeat function.
- Faster OSD by first writing into a bitmap and then sending the entire bitmap
to the DVB driver at once (requires the patch 'dvb.c.071.diff' to be applied
against the version 0.71 DVB driver file 'dvb.c').
- When switching channels the channel is now immediately displayed, and the
current/next information is shown as soon as it becomes available.
- No longer displaying the year in the 'Recordings' menu to saves space for the
title.
- The 'Recordings' menu now displays a '*' to indicate new recordings.
- Added the description of the timers.conf file to the FORMATS file (thanks to
Bastian Guse).
- Displaying as much as possible of the current/next info (dropping characters
that would display only partially).
- In normal viewing mode the '0' key now toggles between the current and the
previous channel.
|
|
- NOTE: If you are using DVB driver version 0.7 you need to load the dvb.o
module with option outstream=0, so your insmod statement should read
'insmod dvb.o outstream=0'. This is currently necessary because 'vdr'
still works with AV_PES data.
- Video files now have the 'group read' bit set.
- Fixed handling errors in 'readstring()'.
- Handling SIGPIPE and re-establishing handler after intercepting a signal.
- The configuration files are now by default read from the video directory.
This can be changed by using the new '-c' option. Make sure you copy your
current '*.conf' files to your video directory ('/video' by default), or
use "-c ." to get the old behaviour of loading the configuration files
from the current directory.
- Waiting for input is now handled by a common function, which improves
response time on user actions. As a consequence the EIT data may sometimes
not be displayed, but this will change later when cEIT runs as a separate
thread.
- The new SVDRP command 'HITK' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to 'hit'
a remote control key. Establish an SVDRP connection and enter HITK without
a parameter for a list of all valid key names.
- The new SVDRP command 'GRAB' (thanks to Guido Fiala!) can be used to grab
the current frame and save it to a file.
- The new SVDRP commands 'OVL*' can be used to control video overlays (thanks
to Guido Fiala!). This is mainly for use in the 'kvdr' tool (see the 'kvdr'
page at http://www.s.netic.de/gfiala).
- If the name of the video directory used with the '-v' option had trailing
slashes, the recording file names have been damaged. Trailing slashes are
now silently removed.
- Fixed a buffer overflow in EIT parsing.
- Added a security warning regarding SVDRP to the INSTALL file.
- Fixed 'confirm' dialog.
- The daemon mode (option '-d') now no longer works with REMOTE=KBD (there
is no stdin in daemon mode, so KBD makes no sense - plus it sometimes
crashed).
|
|
- When scrolling through a list it now moves a full page up or down when the
cursor reaches the top or bottom of the menu (thanks to Heino Goldenstein!).
- Added missing '#include <sys/stat.h>' to recording.c.
- The video directory can now be defined with the command line option -v.
- There can now be more than one video directory (in case you have several
disks).
- Fixed learning key codes for PC keyboard.
- New command line option '-l' to set the log level.
- Times in timers.conf are now always printed with 4 digits (leading '0').
- Slow forward/back mode (thanks to Guido Fiala!).
- The "Up" key in replay mode no longer restarts replay at the very beginning,
but rather resumes normal replay mode after a "pause", "forward" or "backward"
operation. Use the "Skip -60s" function repeatedly to go back to the beginning
of the recording.
- Improved reaction on user input in fast/slow forward/back modes.
- No more upper limit for the value of 'Pnr'.
- Checking if the video card is really a DVB card.
- New SVDRP command UPDT to update an existing timer (or add a new one if it
doesn't yet exist).
- New version of the 'epg2timers' tool (with a modified channel list).
- Bugfix in closing window in DEBUG_OSD mode.
|
|
- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!).
There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU
and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of
these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it
work immediately even if there is no actual remote control).
- Fixed small bug in dvbapi.c that was causing some channels (many on hotbird)
not to be correctly tuned (thanks to Plamen Ganev!).
- Now clearing the replay buffer in search forward/back, which results in
faster reaction.
- The 'Recordings' menu is now listed alphabetically (thanks to Carsten Koch!).
- The new 'epg2timers' tool (thanks to Carsten Koch!) can be used to convert
an EPG "merkliste" page (http://www.tvtv.de) to vdr timer entries.
- The new 'xtvrc2vdr' tool (thanks to Plamen Ganev!) can be used to convert
'xtvrc' channel files into 'vdr' format.
- When more than one timer matches at the same time, the first one in the list
with the highest 'Priority' is selected.
- The MANUAL section on "Programming the Timer" has been filled in.
- The year in the "Recordings" menu as well as in the progress display during
replay has been reduced to 2 digits to allow more space for the recording's
title. In the internal file structure the year is still stored with 4 digits,
so there will be no problem at the next turn of the century ;-)
- Channel names and timer filenames can now contain blanks. To avoid problems
with file names that contain blanks, all blanks in recording file names are
converted to underscores.
- The polarization can now be given in uppercase or lowercase characters in
channels.conf.
- Fixed buffer initialization to work with DVB driver version 0.6.
- Implemented the "Simple Video Disk Recorder Protocol" (SVDRP) to control
the VDR over a network connection.
- Implemented command line option handling.
- The program can now run in full background mode by using the --daemon option.
- Added a "summary" field to the timers (thanks to Carsten Koch!).
This field can contain a descriptive text of the programme and will be
displayed when the "Blue" key is pressed on a recording that was created by
this timer. If the text contains the special character '|', a newline will
be inserted at that place. When pressing "Ok" on a timer that contains a
summary field, the summary will be displayed. To edit such a timer the "Red"
key must be pressed. Timers without a summary still go into Edit mode when
pressing "Ok". The summary field can only be filled in directly by editing
the 'timers.conf' file with a text editor, or by defining/modifying the timer
via the SVDRP interface.
|
|
- Added support for LIRC remote control (thanks to Carsten Koch!).
There are now three different remote control modes: KBD (PC-Keyboard), RCU
and LIRC. See the INSTALL file for information on how to enable either of
these modes. The default mode is now KBD, not RCU as before (to make it
work immediately even if there is no actual remote control).
|
|
- Support for more than one DVB card.
- Simultaneous record and replay (with two DVB cards).
- Instant recordings no longer get the name "instant". They now get the name
of the channel, with a prepended '@' character.
- Timers that are not given an explicit Name now use the channel name with
a prepended '@' character.
- If an instant recording is currently active, the Main menu now contains
an option to stop that recording.
- Timers are now only processed when the Menu is not active. So after editing
a timer the effect will take place only after the menu has been closed.
In order to avoid missing a timer event by inadvertently leaving the menu
open, the menu will be closed automatically after about two minutes of
inactivity.
- If a recording is currently being replayed, the Main menu now contains an
option to stop replaying.
- Displaying the recording DVB interface status in the decimal points of the
RCU display.
- Reduced the number of remote control keys. Modified the key assignments for
the PC keyboard to better resemble the "up-down-left-right-ok" layout on
menu controlling remote control units.
|
|
- Changed name from 'osm' to 'vdr' to avoid mixups with the 'oms' program that
appears to be in use with DVD replay.
- Implemented a channel display in the top menu line.
- Implemented replay progress display (press "Ok" when replaying to bring it up).
- Implemented direct channel selecting by pressing the numeric keys.
- Added several 'const' keywords to please stricter compilers.
- The repeat function for the remote control no longer adapts dynamically
to the timing of the RCU (this sometimes caused the repeat function to
kick in too early).
- Channel selection is now blocked when recording or replaying.
- Improved process handling.

- Actual record/replay now works.
- Dropped the idea of different "recording qualities" (a 36GB harddisk is
able to store some 18 hours in full quality, so we don't really need that).
- Termination signals are now caught and the program cleans up before exiting.
- Support for CICAM.
