2001-07-29Version 0.85vdr-0.85Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2001-02-24Version 0.71vdr-0.71Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
