- Fixed checking for the presence of NPTL (thanks to Jouni Karvo).
- Making sure section filters are only set if the device actually has a lock
(thanks to Andreas Share for pointing this out).
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer assignment in cMenuText::SetText() (thanks to
Marco Schlüssler).
- Fixed a crash in case the last line in channels.conf is a group separator and
that group is selected in the channel display (thanks to Dick Streefland).
- Added cRingBufferLinear::Read() to read directly from a file handle into the
ring buffer.
- Using timeouts in ring buffers to avoid 'usleep()'.
- Clearing the 'Transfer Mode' ring buffer after clearing the device to avoid
an "almost full" ring buffer.
- Removed locking from cRingBufferLinear for better performance under high load.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cRemux to avoid unnecessary copying of data.
- Using a cRingBufferLinear in cTSBuffer and filling it in a separate thread
to avoid buffer overflows. Plugins using cTSBuffer will need to remove the
call to the now obsolete Read() function (see cDvbDevice::GetTSPacket() for
the new usage of cTSBuffer).
- cRemux::Process() has been split into Put(), Get() and Del() to allow for a
better decoupling of the remuxing and disk writing process. Plugins using
cRemux will need to be modified accordingly.
- The actual disk writing in recordings is now done in a separate thread to
improve the overall throughput.
- Changed cRemux so that it returns the maximum available amount of data with
each call, not just 2048 byte.
- Added a visual display of all cRingBufferLinear buffers for debugging. To
activate it, define DEBUGRINGBUFFERS in ringbuffer.h.
- Instead of cCondVar now using the new cCondWait (which also avoids a possible
"near miss" condition; thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one).
cCondVar is still present for plugins that use it (and VDR itself also still
uses it in cRemote).
- The cRingBuffer now does EnableGet()/EnablePut() only if the buffer is more than
one third full or empty, respectively. This dramatically improves recording
performance and reduces system load (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for doing some
testing regarding buffer performance and giving me some hints that finally led
to finding out that this was the basic problem causing buffer overflows).
- Improved Transfer Mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for suggestions and testing).
- Fixed a possible crash with inconsistent SI data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed showing the replay mode if the OSD is currently in use (thanks to Kimmo
Tykkala for pointing out this problem).
- cOsdProvider::NewOsd() now always returns a valid pointer, even if the OSD is
currently in use (it will then return a dummy cOsd object and write a message to
the log file).
- Added Estonian language texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed 'newplugin' and libsi/Makefile to use the compiler defined in $(CXX) for
generating file dependencies (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Moved the initialization of aPid1 and aPid2 to the beginning of cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice()
to have them set in case a patch references them (thanks to Wayne Keer for pointing
this out).
- Completed the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Vyacheslav Dikonov).
- Avoiding unnecessary section filter start/stops (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Made the "Channel not available!" message and mtInfo instead of mtError (suggested
by Wayne Keer).
- Made volume control more linear (thanks to Emil Naepflein and Udo Richter).
- Now skipping code table info in SI data (suggested by Milos Kapoun).
- Added missing Czech characters to fontosd-iso8859-2.c (thanks to Milos Kapoun).
- Fixed a crash in the time search mechanism (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- If one PID can't be added, the whole cDevice::AttachReceiver() will now fail
and all PIDs added so far will be deleted (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for
pointing out this one).
- Now only saving channels.conf after a modification made by the user (avoids
lots of disk access due to automatic channel updates). Automatic channel
modifications will be saved every 10 minutes if no recording is currently
active.
- Removed the 'Log' parameter from the cChannel::Set... functions. Instead
checking if the channel has a non-zero number.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Sven Kreiensen).

- 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).

- 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).

- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library").
Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt.
- The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log
the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id.
For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function
cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments.
Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality
instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order
to support logging the thread ids.
- Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky).
However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling.
- Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the
'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets.
- Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally
provided by Alessio Sangalli).
- Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done
separately, even from within plugins.
- The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been
adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures
may need to change some function names (which should be obvious).
The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual
subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been
shortened to 'description'.
- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread
safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously.
- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to
define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and
'newplugin').
- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for
Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi).
- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level'
sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter
Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work.
- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work.
- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
new channel settings.
- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
get their supported ids from the CI handler.
- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
a channel to a particular device.
- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256.
- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer
overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the
morning).

- Removed a faulty parameter initialization in menu.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for
reporting this one).
- Re-implemented the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff in cRingBuffer, since some plugins
actually need this. By default the buffer does not wait; if a plugin needs the
waiting functionality it can call the new SetTimeouts() function.
- Moved the call to cPlugin::Start() further up in vdr.c, to make sure it gets
called before trying to learn the keys (problem reported by Oliver Endriss).
- No longer starting the editing process if no marks have been set (thanks to
Matthias Raus for reporting this one).
- Added Catalanian language texts (thanks to Marc Rovira Vall and Ramon Roca).
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 16
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 16 versions for each of
your texts.
- Moved the detection of a broken video data stream from the cDevice into the
cRecorder to avoid problems with cReceivers that want to receive from PIDs
that are currently not transmitting (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting
this one).
- Fixed setting the locking pid after a timed wait (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Avoiding spurious section filter settings after a channel switch.
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt).
- Fixed reading 'epg.data' for channels with non-zero RID (thanks to Oliver
Endriss for reporting this one).
- Fixed EPG bugfix statistics to avoid log entires for undefined channels (thanks
to Lars Bläser for reporting this one).
- No longer waiting inside cIndexFile::CatchUp() to avoid shortly blocking replay
at the end of a recording.

- Introduced the new function cPlugin::Initialize(), in order to be able to separate
the startup of a plugin into an "early" (Initialize()) and "late" (Start()) phase
(suggested by Andreas Schultz). Plugin authors should please read the section
about "Getting started" in PLUGINS.html and adapt their code if applicable.
- Implemented the CableDeliverySystemDescriptor and TerrestrialDeliverySystemDescriptor
in libdtv (thanks to Sven Grothklags and Andreas Schultz).
- Fixed keeping live video active in case the primary device doesn't have an MPEG
decoder (thanks to Wolfgang Goeller for reporting this one).
- Implemented cDevice::ActualDevice(), which returns the actual receiving device in
case of 'Transfer Mode', or the primary device otherwise. This may be useful for
plugins that want to attach a cReceiver to the device where the current live video
is actually coming from.
- Added VDRVERSNUM to config.h, which can be used by the preprocessor to check the
actual VDR version (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff from cRingBuffer, since it appears to
no longer be necessary due to the implementation of cNonBlockingFileReader in
dvbplayer.c. Also, the long timeout in WaitForPut caused problems with cReceivers
that use a ring buffer and didn't immediately return from their Receive() function
if the buffer runs full (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling EPG data where the "extended event descriptor" comes before the
"short event" or a "time shifted event" (thanks to Jonan Santiago).
- Disabled the "Received stuffing section in EIT" log message.
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Juri Haberland).
- Avoiding short display of the "Main" menu when pressing the "Recordings" button
or the "Back" button during replay.
- Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be
written.
- Implemented separate PausePriority and PauseLifetime parameters for the recordings
created when pausing live video (suggested by Alfred Zastrow).
- Changed C++ style comments in libdtv into C style to avoid warnings in gcc 3.x
(thanks to Andreas Schultz).

- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally
received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the
'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID
and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as
with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an
additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version
dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions).
- Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing
live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one).
- Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video
sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas
Schultz).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number,
start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl).
- Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL
(suggested by Benjamin Harling).
- Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen).
- Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and
is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting
this one).
- Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds.
- The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk
usage (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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.

- Completed storing the current audio volume in the setup.conf file (thanks
to Andy Grobb).
- Fixed closing the progress display with the "Back" key when in trick mode
and Setup.ShowReplayMode is enabled (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- New SVDRP commands LSTR and DELR to list and delete recordings (thanks to
Thomas Heiligenmann).
- Fixed a crash when pressing the '2' button while replaying a DVD.
- Updated 'channels.conf' for the "Bundesliga" channels of Premiere World
(thanks to Mel Schächner).
- Changed the tuning code to use FrontendInfo to detect the type of DVB card.
- Removed the recursion stuff from cThread (cMutex already does this).
- Fixed handling the repeat function in the channel display.
- Avoiding multiple EPG entries for the same event (thanks to Rolf Hakenes
for some valuable information on how to do this).
- A recording on the primary interface can now be stopped to make it continue
on an other free DVB card (if one is free at the moment). See MANUAL for
details.
- Added some missing teletext PIDs (thanks to Norbert Schmidt).
- Added PTS to the converted PCM audio when replaying a DVD (thanks to Andreas
Schultz). Now the audio and video of a DVD replayed over the DVB card's A/V
out should always be in sync.
- Fixed handling the "Power" key in case Setup.MinUserInactivity is set to 0 to
disable automatic shutdown.
- Added a fifth parameter to the 'shutdown' call that indicates the reason for
this shutdown request (see INSTALL).
- Fixed releasing 'index' memory after recording or playback.
- Fixed ejecting a DVD while it is being replayed.
- Removed all video overlay stuff from cDvbApi and SVDRP. Guido Fiala's new
'kvdr' version 0.4 now does these things itself. As a consequence of this you
will now need to use kvdr 0.4 or later.
- The device /dev/video is now opened only if necessary (to GRAB an image),
allowing other programs (like 'kvdr', for instance) to use that device.
|
|
- Modified the display of the channel group separators (thanks to Markus Lang
for this suggestion).
- Added support for replaying DVDs (thanks to Andreas Schultz). See INSTALL for
instructions on how to compile VDR with DVD support.
- Fixed replay progress display in case replay is paused while watching an
ongoing recording.
- Ringbuffer uses semaphores to signal empty/full conditions.
- Fixed calculating the timeout value in cFile::FileReady() (thanks to
Wolfgang Henselmann-Weiss).
|
|
- 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 SVDRP commands LSTC and LSTT to make them return an error message if
no channels or timers are defined.
- Enhanced 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Hans-Peter Raschke).
- Fixed switching to another channel via the EPG while a recording is being
replayed.
- Fixed a memory leak in the EIT processor that happened when the system time
was set.
- Removed some redundant code from the cListBase destructor.
- Fixed internationalization of some Main menu texts.
- Updated 'channels.conf' after the recent changes of Premiere World (thanks
to Axel Gruber).
- Redesigned the ring buffer to make it work with two separate threads for
input and output (also prepared for using a remultiplexer).
- Fixed setting system time from transponders.
- Fixed a segfault in the Schedule menu in case there is no EPG information.
- The 'runvdr' script now kills any leftover vdr threads before restarting it.
- Fixed a problem with Daylight Saving Time when displaying the times of
recordings.
- Added Dutch language texts (thanks to Arnold Niessen).
- The new command line option -t can be used to set the controlling terminal
(thanks to Jürgen Sauer). This is especially useful when starting VDR through
an entry in /etc/inittab (see INSTALL).
- Since the CAM module only works if it is installed in the "highest" DVB card,
recordings now search for a free DVB card from lowest to highest index (as
opposed to the previous "highest to lowest" search) in order to not use the
CAM card for FTA recordings unless necessary. This is only important for
systems with three or more DVB cards.
- Added the "statdvb2vdr" tool from Hans-Peter Raschke.
- Fixed a segfault that sometimes happened when killing VDR.
- VDR now returns an exit status of '2' in case of an error at startup, instead
of terminating with 'abort()' (which caused a core dump).
- SVDRP now also works with clients that don't do line buffering (like the
Windows 'telnet').
- Empty lines in config files no longer cause error messages.
- New SVDRP command LSTE to list the EPG data.
- The SVDRP HELP command now prints the topics in several columns.
