- Fixed saving the polarization parameter of channels that have a number in the 'source' parameter (thanks to Peter Seyringer for reporting this one). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Achim Lange). - First step towards a "unique channel ID". The channel ID is a human readable string, made up from several parameters of the channel's definition in the file 'channels.conf' (see man vdr(5) for details). In order for the "unique channel ID" to work, all channel definitions now must be unique with respect to the combination of their Source, Frequency and SID parameters. You may have to fix your 'channels.conf' manually if there are error messages in the log file when loading it. BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR 'channels.conf' AND 'timers.conf' FILE BEFORE SWITCHING TO THIS VERSION, AND CHECK VERY CAREFULLY WHETHER YOUR TIMERS ARE STILL SET TO THE RIGHT CHANNELS! When reading an existing 'timers.conf', the channels will be identified as before by their numbers. As soon as this file is written back, the channel numbers will be replaced by the channel IDs. After that it is possible to manually edit the 'channels.conf' file and rearrange the channels without breaking the timers. Note that you can still define new timers manually by using the channel number. VDR will correctly identify the 'channel' parameter in a timer definition and use it as a channel number or a channel ID, respectively. Also, the SVDRP commands that return timer definitions will list them with channel numbers in order to stay compatible with existing applications. The channel ID is also used in the 'epg.data' file to allow EPG information from different sources to be stored, which would previously have been mixed up in case they were using the same 'service ID'. Note that the contents of an existing 'epg.data' file from a previous version will be silently ignored, since it doesn't contain the new channel IDs. When inserting EPG data into VDR via SVDRP you now also need to use the channel IDs. Currently the EPG data received from the DVB data stream only uses the 'Source' and 'Service ID' part of the channel ID. This makes it work for channels with the same service IDs on different sources (like satellites, cable or terrestrial). However, it doesn't work yet if the service IDs are not unique within a specific source. This will be fixed later. - Added missing SID parameters to 'channels.conf'. Some channels have been removed since they are apparently no longer broadcasted. - Removed dropping EPG events from "other" streams that have a duration of 86400 seconds or more (was introduced in version 1.1.10). This has become obsolete by the modification in version 1.1.13, which fixed fetching the current/next information to handle cases where the duration of an event is set wrongly and would last beyond the start time of the next event. Besides, the change in 1.1.10 broke handling EPG data for NVOD channels. - Fixed a compiler warning regarding cMenuChannels::Del() and MenuTimers::Del() hiding the base class virtual functions.

- Fixed some faulty default parameter initializations (thanks to Robert Schiele). - Added further satellites to 'sources.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner and Oliver Endriss). - Updated Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - Fixed a small glitch when switching channels (thanks to Dennis Noordsij for reporting this one). - Fixed handling multiple 'CaCaps' entries in 'setup.conf'. - Group separators in 'channels.conf' may now be given like ':@201 My Channels', where '@201' indicates the number to be given to the next channel. This can be used to create 'gaps' in the channel numbering (see 'man 5 vdr'). BE CAREFUL TO UPDATE YOUR 'timers.conf' ACCORDINGLY IF INSERTING THIS NEW FEATURE INTO YOUR 'channels.conf' FILE! - Timers now internally have a pointer to their channel (this is necessary to handle gaps in channel numbers, and in preparation for unique channel ids). - Fixed slow reaction on SVDRP input (thanks to Guido Fiala for reporting this one). - Added KI.KA to channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele). - Frequency values for cable and terrestrial channels in 'channels.conf' can now be given either in MHz, kHz or Hz. The actual value given will be multiplied by 1000 until it is larger than 1000000. - Fixed skipping unavailable channels when zapping downwards. - Fixed checking the Ca() status of a cDevice (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed switching audio tracks in 'Transfer Mode' on the primary DVB device (thanks to Steffen Barszus and Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one and helping to fix it). - Fixed channel switching in case of an active 'Transfer Mode' on the primary device ('Transfer Mode' is now launched with priority '-1'). - Fixed a ternary expression in dvbspu.c. - Fixed handling 'Transfer Mode' on single device systems when recording an encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Fixed blocking replaying in case an encrypted channel is being recorded on the primary device. - Now the name of the remote control is displayed when learning the keys. - Fixed learning remote control keys in case there is more than one remote control (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Implemented additional dedicated keys for "Play", "Pause", "Stop", "Record", "FastFwd", "FastRew", "Channel+" and "Channel-". If your remote control supports any of these keys you can delete your 'remote.conf' file and restart VDR to go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information. Authors of player plugins should update their ProcessKey() functions so that the new player keys have the same functionality as the "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right" and "Blue" keys, respectively. Note that the existing functionality of these keys should by all means be retained, since VDR (and any plugins) shall be fully usable with just the basic set of keys. These new keys are only for additional comfort in case the remote control in use supports them. - Implemented new keys to directly access the VDR main menu functions "Schedule", "Channels", "Timers", "Recordings", "Setup" and "Commands". If your remote control provides keys you want to assign these functions to, you can delete your 'remote.cof' file and restart VDR to go through the key learning procedure again in order to assign these new keys. See MANUAL for more information. - The new configuration file 'keymacros.conf' can be used to assign macros to the color buttons in normal viewing mode, as well as to up to 9 user defined keys. See MANUAL and man vdr(5) for more information. The default 'keymacros.conf' implements the functionality of the "color button patch". - Fixed a crash when learning the keys of several remote controls and pressing buttons of those that have already been learned (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
