2005-02-27Version 1.3.22vdr-1.3.22Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed some unneeded code and fixed access to unallocated memory in cEvent::FixEpgBugs() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald). - Avoiding unnecessary calls to SetPid() in cDvbDevice::SetAudioTrackDevice() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - No longer calling EnsureAudioTrack() in cDevice::SetChannel() if a Transfer Mode is started, to avoid setting the audio PID on the primary device (thanks to Marco Schlüßler for pointing this out). - Replaced the call to system("sync") in SpinUpDisk() with fdatasync(f) to avoid problems on NPTL systems (thanks to Chris Warren for pointing this out). - Increased POLLTIMEOUTS_BEFORE_DEVICECLEAR in transfer.c to 6 to avoid problems with the larger buffer reserve (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed the call to SetVideoFormat() in cDvbDevice::cDvbDevice() (parameter is _bool_). - Added support for setting the video display mode (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The new setup option "DVB/Video display format" can be used to define which display format to use for playing wide screen video on a 4:3 tv set. - Changed MAXDPIDS to 16 (8xAC3 + 8xDTS) (thanks to Werner Fink for pointing this out). - Completed Dutch language texts (thanks to Hans Dingemans). - Added 'smi' to the Finnish language codes (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed ensuring there is a current audio track in case there is only one track (thanks to Werner Fink for reporting this one). - Improved automatic audio track selection. - Keeping the track language codes and descriptions in Transfer Mode (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Fixed handling repeated kAudio keys. - Improved displaying the the current audio track in the ST:TNG channel display.
2005-01-09Version 1.3.18vdr-1.3.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed an unused variable from cTimer::GetWDayFromMDay() (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Some more changes to the 'childTid' handling in cThread (based on suggestions by Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed the spelling of 'canceling' (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one). - Re-introduced a sleep to cDvbPlayer::Action() to avoid high CPU load in still picture mode (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Fixed a possible race condition in generating the DVB device names (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Changed the way PES packets are played to allow replay of AC3 sound over the full featured DVB cards (partially based on a patch from Werner Fink). + The new function cDevice::PlayPes() is now called with the complete PES data stream and calls PlayVideo() and PlayAudio() as necessary. + cDevice::PlayVideo() is now only called with actual video PES packets. + cDevice::PlayAudio() is now called with the actual audio PES packets, which can be either "normal" audio or AC3 data. You need at least firmware version 0x261d to replay AC3 sound over a full featured DVB card. This function now has an 'int' return value. + PlayAudio() of derived cDevice classes shall no longer call the base class function. It shall just play the given data as audio. + cPlayer::PlayVideo() and cPlayer::PlayAudio() are now obsolete and have been replaced with cPlayer::PlayPes(). + All StripAudioPackets() functions are now obsolete. The functionality has been moved into cDevice::PlayPes(), where only the video and audio packets that are actually required will be processed. + All audio track handling is now done by cDevice; cTransfer and cDvbPlayer no longer care about audio tracks. cPlayer, however, still has the virtual hooks for audio track handling in order to allow plugins to implement players that have their own idea about this. + cChannel::[AD]pid[12]() have been replaced with cChannel::[AD]pid(int i) to allow access to all available PIDs. - Escaped the '-' and 'ö' characters in the man pages (thanks to Darren Salt for pointing this out). - Completed the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Sean Carlos). - Fixed setting 'synced' in cRemux when recording radio channels (thanks to Laurence Abbott). - Removed the LOCK_THREAD from the LIRC thread (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed genfontfile.c (sometimes the character width was wrong, and the codes were shifted one too far to the left). - Fixed the character width and shifted the codes one to the right in all font files. - Renamed font???.c to font???-iso8859-1.c for symmetry. - Switched the character set to iso8859-15 for English, German and Finnish (thanks to Andreas Brugger for reporting the missing Euro sign in iso8859-1). - Added 'channels.conf.terr' entries for Lübeck (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed a race condition in starting a thread (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one). - Replaced non-threadsafe library functions with their threadsafe versions (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing this out). - Other non-threadsafe functions have been replaced by threadsafe classes that hide the actual buffering. In particular these are: readdir() -> cReadDir readline() -> cReadLine - Several formerly non-threadsafe functions now have a return type of cString: cChannel::ToText() tChannelID::ToString() cEvent::GetDateString() cEvent::GetTimeString() cEvent::GetEndTimeString() cEvent::GetVpsString() cMark::ToText() cTimer::ToText() cSource::ToString() cTimer::PrintDay() cTimer::PrintFirstDay() PrefixVideoFileName() IndexToHMSF() ChannelString() strescape() AddDirectory() itoa() WeekDayName() DayDateTime() When using these functions in a 'const char *' context there is nothing special to consider, except that you can no longer have a pointer to the return value, as in const char *date = DayDateTime(); Although this will compile without error message, the resulting 'date' will not be valid after this line. Use this instead: cString date = DayDateTime(); In a 'const void *' context (as in printf() etc.) the result needs to be dereferenced with a '*', as in printf("%s", *DayDateTime()); to make it a 'const char *'. - Removed delay_ms(), using cCondWait::SleepMs() instead. - Replaced time_ms() with a threadsafe and non-overflowing cTimeMs (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for pointing out this problem). - Added cDevice::mutexReceiver to avoid a race condition when attaching/detaching receivers from different threads. - The new remote control button "Audio" can be used to switch between different audio tracks. The "Green" button in the "Main" menu has been changed from "Language" to "Audio", since it now also controls switching between normal and Dolby Digital audio tracks (see MANUAL for details). - The description of the audio tracks is now taken from the "component descriptors" that are broadcast in the EPG data. However (as no big surprise), not all channels actually provide useful data here, so there are now some additional EPG bugfixes, which can be activated by setting the "EPG bugfix level" to 3. - The format of the 'epg.data' files has been extended by the new tag 'X', which contains the stream components of an event (see man vdr(5) for details). - The cStatus class now has the new member function SetAudioTrack(), which can be used to get notified when the audio track has been switched, and the new member function SetAudioChannel() which is called when the audio channel is changed. - Skins need to implement the new cSkinDisplayTrack class to display the audio track menu. - The ST:TNG skin now displays the current audio track description (if any) at the botton left side. - The new setup option "DVB/Audio languages" can be used to control which audio language shall be selected in case a channel broadcasts in different languages (see MANUAL for details). - The "Left" and "Right" keys in the "Audio" menu can be used to switch between the left and right stereo channels in case there are different audio tracks in these channels (see MANUAL for details). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDevice::Action() (thanks to Mattias Grönlund). - Fixed the default quality value when grabbing a JPEG image (thanks to Patrick Gleichmann). - Fixed deleting a menu item in case the next item is not selectable (thanks to Dino Ravnic). - Implemented displaying mandatory subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - The setup option "Recording/Record Dolby Digital" has been renamed and moved to "DVB/Use Dolby Digital". It now controls whether Dolby Digital is recorded and whether an available DD audio track will appear in the "Audio" menu. - Added support for circular polarization (thanks to Jonan Santiago). - Thanks to Werner Fink, Reinhard Nissl, Sascha Volkenandt and Bjørnar Nilsen for their support in testing and fine tuning this version.
2004-05-31Version 1.3.9vdr-1.3.9Klaus Schmidinger
- Completed Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - New iso8859-2 font to fix the problem with program freezes (thanks to Drazen Dupor). - Implemented a default cRemote::Initialize() that waits 10 seconds for a keypress in order to prevent a "hangup" in case, e.g., the LIRC driver is not loaded (thanks to Helmut Auer). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Hannover (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - cBitmap::DrawBitmap() now also resets the palette if the entire bitmap area is covered (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed setting the title in the replay display of the "Classic VDR" skin in case a shorter title is set after a longer one (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Now using more separate areas in the "ST:TNG Panels" skin to allow a theme to use more independent clrMenu* colors. - Fixed removing the "scanning recordings..." message in case the video directory is empty (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one). - Added SetMessage() functions to the Replay and Channel skin functions. Plugins that implement skins will need to implement these functions. This fixes a missing "Editing process finished" message (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed the height of the channel display in the "Classic VDR" skin. - Fixed handling descriptor loops in 'libsi', which had sometimes caused invalid CA ids to be added to the channel definitions (thanks to Wayne Keer for reporting this one, and Marcel Wiesweg for fixing it). - Fixed handling colors in cDvbSpuPalette::yuv2rgb() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Made some functions of cFont virtual to allow implementing dummy fonts for the 'curses' skin. - The new plugin 'skincurses' re-implements the functionality that was previously available by compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD. Some things may not yet work as they should, but it's a starting point.
2004-05-23Version 1.3.8vdr-1.3.8Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a crash when switching the skin and having selected a non-default theme that is not available for the newly selected skin (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for reporting this one). - Fixed some issues with gcc 3.4 (thanks to Prakash K. Cheemplavam and Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a hint to PLUGINS.html about how to name a plugin that implements a skin. - Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Single shot timers and events now show the day of week (adopted with some changes from the "elchi" patch, orginally introduced by Oskar Signell). Plugins that use cEvent::GetDateString() should note that this function now returns a longer string, including the day of week. The new function const char *WeekDayName(time_t t) can be called with a time_t value to get the day of week for that time. - When processing XPM data, the color name "None" is now mapped to #00000000, which is "fully transparent" (suggested by Sascha Volkenandt). - Fixed the OSD alignment in the SPU decoder (thanks to Miko Wohlgemuth for reporting this one and helping to test the fix). - Fixed freezing picture when a recording starts on a system that always uses 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Michal Dobrzynski for reporting this one). - Fixed a memory leak in NIT processing (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a few missing initializations (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuText to VDR/menu.h to make it available to plugins. It now also has a SetText() function that can be used to dynamically set the text in an already existing cMenuText (both suggested by Stefan Huelswitt). - Added play mode pmVideoOnly (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Added a missing cStatus::MsgOsdClear() to cDisplayChannel::~cDisplayChannel() (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - No longer displaying unused color buttons in the "Classic VDR" skin (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Added some missing cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() calls (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
2004-05-16Version 1.3.7vdr-1.3.7Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a memory leak in thread handling when using NPTL (thanks to Jon Burgess). - Fixed handling Setup.RecordDolbyDigital, which was broken since version 1.1.6. - Fixed handling text lengths for itemized EPG texts (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg). - Fixed the help for LSTE and LSTR (was broken in 1.3.6). - Improved iso8859-7 fonts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Added some 3-letter language codes (thanks to Marcus Mönnig). - Added language code handling to the subtitling descriptor in 'libsi' (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Moved several menu item classes from menu.c to menuitems.[hc] to make them available for plugins. - The epg2html.pl script now handles '|' in description texts. - The new setup option "OSD/Use small font" can be used to control the use of the small font (see MANUAL for details). - Swapped osd.[hc] and osdbase.[hc] to have the virtual OSD base class named cOsd. Plugins may need to adjust their #include statements. - Colors are now given as AARRGGBB instead of AABBGGRR. The values are mapped to the driver's (wrong) sequence in dvbosd.c (this should really be fixed in the driver, together with the endian problem). - The new OSD setup parameters "Left" and "Top" can be used to define the top left corner of the OSD. - The OSD size parameters are now in pixel (as opposed to formerly characters). When reading a 'setup.conf' file from an older version of VDR, the OSDwidth and OSDheight values will be converted to pixel automatically. - The OSD is now fully device independent. See the comments in VDR/osd.h and the description in PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement an OSD display on arbitrary hardware. - The OSD (actually its cBitmap class) can now handle XPM files. There are several XPM files in the VDR/symbols directory which can be used by skins (some of these have been taken from the "elchi" patch). See VDR/skinsttng.c for examples on how to use these. - Due to the changes in the OSD handling the DEBUG_OSD option for a textual OSD has been dropped. There will be a plugin that implements a skin with this functionality later. - The entire OSD display can now be implemented via "skins". See VDR/skins.[hc], VDR/skinclassic.[hc], VDR/skinsttng.[hc] and PLUGINS.html for information on how a plugin can implement its own skin. By default VDR comes with a "Classic" skin that implements the OSD display known from previous versions, and the new skin named "ST:TNG Panels", which is also the default skin now. The actual skin can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Skin". - The colors used in a skin can now be configured using "themes". See PLUGINS.html for information on how a skin can make use of themes, and man vdr(5) for the structure of a theme file. The actual theme to use can be selected through "Setup/OSD/Theme". - Added Croatian language texts (thanks to Drazen Dupor). NOTE: there is apparently a problem with the newly introduced iso8859-2 font, because as soon as Setup/OSD/Language is set to Croatian (currently the last one in the list) everything freezes and the vdr processes have to be killed with -9 and the driver needs to be reloaded. Maybe somebody else can find out what's going wrong here... - Added missing NULL checks when accessing sectionHandler in device.c (thanks to Pekka Virtanen). - Fixed setting the time from the DVB data stream (thanks to Helmut Auer for pointing out a frequency/transponder handling mixup). This now also takes the actual source (sat, cable etc.) into account. Please go into "Setup/EPG" and set the "Set system time" and "Use time from transponder" parameters accordingly (this is necessary even if you have already set them before!).
