2003-10-17Version 1.2.6pre1vdr-1.2.6pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the required driver version in INSTALL (thanks to Jens Groth for reporting this one). - Fixed missing channel info after an incomplete channel group switch (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed handling a channels.conf that contains a ":@nnn" line as its last entry (thanks to Ralf Klueber). - Fixed detecting the /dev/videoN devices for GRAB in case there are others before the DVB devices (thanks to Andreas Kool). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Markus Hardt). - Fixed handling rc key learning in case cRemote::Initialize() returns 'false' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed initializing the highlight area in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Now trying to get a timer's channel without RID when loading 'timers.conf' (thanks to Thomas Rausch). - Removed the unused 0x73 (TOT) filter in eit.c (thanks to Andreas Trauer). - Fixed extracting the ES data in cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Added MPEG1 handling to cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (thanks to Thomas Heiligenmann). - Changed the default "Lifetime" to 99, which means that recordings will never be deleted automatically in case the disk runs full (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Note that in an existing VDR installation the current value as set in 'setup.conf' will still be used - this change only affects new VDR installations. - Edited recordings will now never be deleted automatically if the disk runs full (suggested by Emil Naepflein). - Channel IDs are now checked when reading 'channels.conf' to avoid later problems with timers.
2003-05-11Version 1.1.31vdr-1.1.31Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2003-04-27Version 1.1.29vdr-1.1.29Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
2002-11-24Version 1.1.17vdr-1.1.17Klaus Schmidinger
- Added new entries to 'ca.conf'. - Fixed closing unused PID handles (thanks to Stefan Schluenss for reporting this one). - Added more examples to 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed disabling multiple recordings on a single DVB card (comment out the definition of the macros DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS in dvbdevice.c). - Plugins can now have their very own OSD setup in the object they return from a call to cPlugin::MainMenuAction(). In order to implement this, the return type of cPlugin::MainMenuAction() had to be changed from (cOsdMenu *) to (cOsdObject *). So in case you are compiling an existing plugin with this version of VDR and you get an error message, simply change cOsdMenu to cOsdObject in the plugin's source for the MainMenuAction() function. Plugin authors who have so far (ab)used the cControl mechanism to implement their own raw OSD should take a look at the new demo plugin 'osddemo'. It implements a very primitive game that shows how a plugin can have its own raw OSD. Especially look into cLineGame and see how it implements the Show() function. See also the chapter on "User interaction" in PLUGINS.html. - Added three new fields to the lines in 'channels.conf': NID, TID and RID. NID and TID are the Network and Transport Stream IDs, respectively. RID is an additional ID that can be used to tell apart channels that would otherwise be indistinguishable. This is typically the case with radio channels, which may have the same NID, TID and SID, but different "radio IDs". This new field is therefore called RID ("radio ID"). Currently NID and TID are not yet used by VDR and should always be 0. The RID is actually used when building the "unique channel ID", so if you have channels in your 'channels.conf' file that cause error messages when loading, you can set the RIDs of these channels to different values. When reading an old 'channels.conf' these new fields will be automatically initialized to 0 and once the file is written back to disk they will be appended to the channel definitions. Thanks to Régis Bossut for pointing out that with some providers the channels can only be distinguished through the RID. - The "unique channel ID" now contains an optional 5th part (the RID). See man vdr(5). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' and made some channels unique using the new RID (thanks to Andreas Kool for pointing out the problems). - Made some channels unique in 'channels.conf.terr' using the new RID. - Extended the '-l' option to allow logging to LOG_LOCALn (n=0..7) by writing, for instance, '-l 3.7' (suggested by Jürgen Schmidt). - Now deleting stale lock files if they have a time stamp that is outside the window 'now +/- LOCKFILESTALETIME'. This improves things in cases where the system time makes far jumps, so that a lock file might end up with a time stamp that lies in the distant future (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
2002-11-10Version 1.1.16vdr-1.1.16Klaus Schmidinger
- 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.
2002-10-27Version 1.1.14vdr-1.1.14Klaus Schmidinger
- 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).
