- 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.
2004-06-19Version 1.3.11vdr-1.3.11Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-09-08Version 1.1.9vdr-1.1.9Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed the 'newplugin' script to make it name the target for creating the distribution package 'dist', as stated in the PLUGINS.html documentation. If you have already created a plugin source directory and Makefile you may want to check it and replace the 'package' target with 'dist' if necessary. - Changed device handling for being able to do simultaneous recording and replay on the same device (Time Shifting). In order for this to work you need to use a driver with a firmware version that has this feature implemented. - cDevice::ProvidesCa() is no longer virtual. The new function cDevice::ProvidesChannel() is now used to determine whether a device can receive a given channel, and by default this function returns false. So a device that is a pure replaying device doesn't need to do anything here. - Increased the recorder buffer size to 5MB in order to be able to better handle multiple recordings. - Implemented cTSBuffer for better handling TS packet buffering in derived cDevice classes. - Changed the interface if cDevice::GetTSPacket() to avoid unnecessary copying of data. - Removed cDevice::Channel(), since this makes no more sense with devices receiving multiple channels. - Switching through channels with the 'Up' and 'Down' keys now skips channels that are currently not available (for instance because all devices are recording and these channels are on different transponders). - Implemented an SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Fixed a crash when entering an integer value outside the limits (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Added play mode pmAudioOnlyBlack (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
