2003-08-31Version 1.2.5pre1vdr-1.2.5pre1Klaus Schmidinger
- Now explicitly handling exit value 0 and 2 in 'runvdr'. - Added a missing 'w' to the allowed characters for Finnish and Swedish (thanks to Lauri Tischler and Ragnar Sundblad). - Added channels for DVB-T Hannover (Germany) to channels.cont.terr (thanks to Peter Waechtler). - Fixed a hangup in SVDRP when the client disappears without sending QUIT (thanks to Robert Bartl for reporting this one). The problem was introduced in version 1.2.2 through the fix for an occasional "Broken pipe" error in SVDRP connections. - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin. - Fixed displaying still pictures, now using the driver's VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call directly (thanks to Oliver Endriss). This also improves navigating through DVD menus with the DVD plugin. If this causes problems with your particular system (maybe because you are using the 'analogtv' plugin) you can reactivate the previous behaviour by commenting out the line #define VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES in VDR/dvbdevice.c. Note that you need driver version 2003-08-23 or later for this to work! - Fixed handling extra blanks in plugin command lines. - Actually implemented the SVDRP command DELC. - Now clearing the player device if there are too many poll timeouts in 'Transfer Mode', which avoids buffer overflows and black screens in such cases.
2003-05-18Version 1.1.32vdr-1.1.32Klaus Schmidinger
- Removed a faulty parameter initialization in menu.c (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one). - Re-implemented the WaitForPut/WaitForGet stuff in cRingBuffer, since some plugins actually need this. By default the buffer does not wait; if a plugin needs the waiting functionality it can call the new SetTimeouts() function. - Moved the call to cPlugin::Start() further up in vdr.c, to make sure it gets called before trying to learn the keys (problem reported by Oliver Endriss). - No longer starting the editing process if no marks have been set (thanks to Matthias Raus for reporting this one). - Added Catalanian language texts (thanks to Marc Rovira Vall and Ramon Roca). Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 16 different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 16 versions for each of your texts. - Moved the detection of a broken video data stream from the cDevice into the cRecorder to avoid problems with cReceivers that want to receive from PIDs that are currently not transmitting (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting this one). - Fixed setting the locking pid after a timed wait (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding spurious section filter settings after a channel switch. - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - Fixed reading 'epg.data' for channels with non-zero RID (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed EPG bugfix statistics to avoid log entires for undefined channels (thanks to Lars Bläser for reporting this one). - No longer waiting inside cIndexFile::CatchUp() to avoid shortly blocking replay at the end of a recording.
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).
2003-04-13Version 1.1.27vdr-1.1.27Klaus Schmidinger
- The CAM is now accessed only if the current channel actually has a non-zero Ca value, and CAM access is completely suppressed during replay, which avoids problems in case the CAM is attached to the primary DVB device. - The "Left" and "Right" buttons now set the cursor to the first or last list item even if the list consist only of a single page, like, for instance, the Main menu (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Made the log message "OSD window width must be a multiple of 4..." a debug message instead of an error message, so it can be avoided by using a log level less than 3. - Updated Greek language texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Fixed faulty behaviour of the "Mute" key in case the channel display is visible (thanks to Florian Bartels for reporting this one and Sascha Volkenandt for helping to fix it). - Modified LOF handling to allow for C-band reception (thanks to Malcolm Caldwell). - Added some missing cAudio handling calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Replaced the 'for' loops in StripAudioPackets() with memset() calls (thanks to Werner Fink). - Further increased the timeout until an index file is considerd no longer to be written. - Fixed a crash in case the index file can't be accessed any more during replay (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one). - Fixed displaying messages in the status line in case they exceed the OSD width (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one). - Avoiding high CPU load in case the connection to LIRC gets lost (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling repeat function with LIRC (thanks to Ludwig Nussel). - Fixed handling min/max borders when entering integer values (thanks to Andy Grobb for reporting this one). - Implemented a "resume ID" which allows several users to each have their own resume.vdr files (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid). This parameter can be set in the "Setup/Replay" menu (see MANUAL for details). - Now using 'libdtv' version 0.0.5 (thanks to Rolf Hakenes for the new version and Stefan Huelswitt for adapting VDR to it). - If no device with an MPEG decoder can be found at startup, the first device is now used as primary device (just to have some device). - Adjusted some Premiere channels in 'channels.conf' (thanks to Thomas Koch). - Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Stefan Hußfeldt). - The 'epg.data' file is now read after all plugins have been started (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt). - The LIRC remote control no longer tries to learn keys if it can't connect to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for reporting this one). The same applies to the RCU remote control in case of errors during startup. - Fixed handling of Ca parameters with values <= MAXDEVICES, which don't indicate an actual encrypted channel (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt for reporting this one).
2003-02-16Version 1.1.25vdr-1.1.25Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed high CPU load during replay (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for pointing out this one). - Fixed margin handling in cRingBufferLinear. - Now polling the output device in 'Transfer Mode' and retrying to put packets into the ring buffer. - Resetting the CAM slot in case communication breaks down. - Improved keyboard detection (thanks to Werner Fink). - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' (thanks to Andy Carter). - Fixed broken support for raw OSDs of plugins (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg for reporting this one). - Broken CAM connections are now restored automatically.
2003-01-26Version 1.1.22vdr-1.1.22Klaus Schmidinger
- Added 'Hrvatska radiotelevizija' and 'RTV Slovenija' to ca.conf (thanks to Paul Gohn). - Implemented actual user input for CAM enquiry menus. - Since disk file systems apparently don't honor the O_NONBLOCK flag to read from a file in non-blocking mode the cDvbPlayer now uses a non blocking file reader class to make sure replay remains smooth even under heavy system load. - Increased the maximum possible packet size in remux.c to avoid corrupted streams with broadcasters that send extremely large PES packets (thanks to Teemu Rantanen). - Added TS error checking to remux.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen). - Modified cRingBufferLinear to avoid excessive memmove() calls in 'Transfer Mode' and during recordings, which dramatically reduces CPU load. Thanks to Teemu Rantanen for pinpointing the problem with the excessive memmove() calls. - Updated 'channels.conf' (thanks to Achim Lange). - Added/improved Swedish language texts (thanks to Jan Ekholm). - Fixed the description of the "Scroll pages" OSD setup parameter ('yes' and 'no' were mixed up). - Fixed handling the LOG_LOCALn parameters in the -l option (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos). - Changed EIT processing to always read a full section. - Fixed handling user defined CFLAGS in libdtv/libvdr/Makefile (thanks to Clemens Kirchgatterer and Robert Schiele). - Fixed skipping unavailable channels in the EPG scanner.
2002-12-15Version 1.1.20vdr-1.1.20Klaus Schmidinger
- Now checking if there is a connection to the keyboard (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti) and only creating the KBD remote control if VDR is running in the foreground. - Fixed taking an active SVDRP connection into account when doing shutdown (thanks to Gregoire Favre for reporting this one). - Changed setting of CXX and CXXFLAGS variables in Makefile, so that an externally defined value will be taken if present (suggested by Robert Schiele). Plugin authors should please change the lines CXX = g++ CXXFLAGS = -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual in their Makefile to CXX ?= g++ CXXFLAGS ?= -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual - Fixed recording overlapping timers on the same channel in case DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE and/or DO_MULTIPLE_RECORDINGS is not defined (thanks to Jaakko Hyvätti). - No longer stopping/restarting the DMX when switching audio channels (thanks to Sven Goethel). - Fixed high CPU load in 'Transfer Mode' (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - If a PC keyboard is used as remote control, the string entry fields in the menus now accept character input directly (however, this works only for keys that are not otherwise defined as remote control keys). Also, plugins can switch the cKbdRemote class into "raw mode", where all keyboard input will be made available through the new 'kKbd' key code and none of it will be processed as normal remote control functions (thanks to Jan Rieger for suggestions and testing). - Fixed deleting characters in string entry fields in 'insert' mode. - Now using "Doxygen" to generate source documentation (thanks to Walter Stroebel for providing an initial 'Doxyfile' configuration and adjusting some comments). See INSTALL for information how to do this. Some function descriptions have already been adapted to Doxygen, more will follow.
2002-11-03Version 1.1.15vdr-1.1.15Klaus Schmidinger
- Completely switched to the new CVS HEAD version of the linux-dvb driver. The NEWSTRUCT compile time switch is now obsolete. The required driver is now the CVS HEAD version dated 2002-11-01 or later. - Adjusted the INSTALL file to the 1.1.x version. - Only accepting key presses from the current remote control when learning (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Fixed the EPG scanner, which broke 'Transfer Mode' as soon as it kicked in (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one). - Fixed handling audio tracks in cDvbDevice. - Updated channels.conf.terr (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed displaying the group separators in the channel display (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for pointing out this one). - The Makefile now includes the file Make.config (if present in the VDR source directory), which allows the user to overwrite several settings with individual values (suggested by Andreas Schultz). The VDR distribution archive does not contain this file in order to not overwrite a user defined file. There is a Make.config.template which contains the default values of the macros the user can overwrite. - Since there have been changes to the 'newplugin' script authors of plugins may want to newly create their plugins' Makefiles with the new version of this script, and adapt them to their individual needs (make sure you don't overwrite your existing plugin directory - make a backup copy first!). - Fixed reading EPG data via the SVDRP command PUTE (it changed the current service ID). - Fixed closing all dup'ed file descriptors in cPipe. - Implemented a plugin interface for additional audio processing (see PLUGINS.html under "Dolby Digital"). The functionality of the '-a' command line option has been reactivated. Since the author doesn't have any Dolby Digital equipment this may or may not work as expected. There may still be some places where a call to cAudios::Clear() or cAudios::Mute() is necessary. Those with Dolby Digital equipment should please take a look at this and maybe send patches. Replaying Dolby Digital in ways other than through VDR's '-a' option will have to be implemented as plugins. Those who have written patches for VDR version 1.0.x should convert their work into the proper plugins for version 1.1.x. Note to authors of cPlayer derived plugins: please read the modified comments in device.h regarding the member functions cDevice::Clear(), cDevice::Mute() and cDevice::PlayAudio(). Derived classes must call these base class member functions to make sure all registered cAudio objects are properly handled. Also note that the return type of cDevice::PlayAudio() has been changed to 'void', since this function always has to accept the entire data block immediately and there is nothing that could be reasonably done in case an error occurs in one of the cAudio objects. - Now checking the driver's DVB_API_VERSION in dvbdevice.h. Since VDR now requires a driver dated 2002-11-01 or later the MIN_DVB_DRIVER_VERSION_FOR_TIMESHIFT and DVB_DRIVER_VERSION stuff has been replaced with DO_REC_AND_PLAY_ON_PRIMARY_DEVICE, which can be used to disable simultaneous recording and replaying on the primary DVB device in case there are problems with this.
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).
2002-10-13Version 1.1.13vdr-1.1.13Klaus Schmidinger
- Added cDevice::DeviceNumber() to get the number of a device, not counting any gaps that might be in the index count. - 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. - Adapted type names to the new HEAD version of the driver (which the previous NEWSTRUCT branch has been merged into). Note that to use this driver version you still need to add NEWSTRUCT=1 to the make call when building VDR. You need a HEAD version of the LinuxDVB driver dated 2002-10-11 or later to compile VDR with NEWSTRUCT=1. - Fixed radio channels in channels.conf.cable (thanks to Robert Schiele and Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed switching the video format in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Uwe Scheffler for reporting this one). - Reactivated full handling of second audio PID (even in 'Transfer Mode'). - Fixed a crash when closing down with remote control plugins (thanks to Oliver Endriss helping to debug this one). - Commands in the file 'commands.conf' can now have a '?' at the end of their title, which will result in a confirmation prompt before executing the command. - Changed a few leftover 'new char[...]' to MALLOC(char, ...). - If a command executed from the "Commands" menu doesn't return any output, the OSD will now be closed automatically. - The SVDRP command PUTE now triggers an immediate write of the 'epg.data' file (suggested by Gerhard Steiner). - The new configuration file 'reccmds.conf' can be used to define commands that shall be executed from the "Recordings" menu; see MANUAL and 'man vdr(5)' for details (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
2002-09-29Version 1.1.11vdr-1.1.11Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed an incomplete initialization of the filter parameters in eit.c (thanks to Jeremy Hall). - Fixed the 'newplugin' script for use with the NEWSTRUCT driver (thanks to Andreas Schultz for reporting this one). If you have already created a plugin directory and Makefile with 'newplugin', please apply the following patch to it: ------------------------------------------------------- --- Makefile 2002/06/10 16:24:06 1.4 +++ Makefile 2002/09/17 15:36:36 1.5 @@ -15,7 +15,12 @@ ### The directory environment: +ifdef NEWSTRUCT +DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/include +DEFINES += -DNEWSTRUCT +else DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB/ost/include +endif VDRDIR = ../../..

The previously used files 'keys.conf' and 'keys-pc.conf' have been replaced by the file 'remote.conf', which holds the key definitions of all remote controls. - The LIRC remote control keys are now handled just like the keyboard and RCU keys. This means that you can use the lircd.conf file as is for your remote control, without the need of editing it to make the key names the same as used in VDR. When first starting VDR it will go into the "Learning keys" mode and ask you to press the various keys. The resulting key assignment will be stored in the file 'remote.conf'. Since I have no way of testing the LIRC support, I hope I didn't break it in the process... - While learning the remote control keys it is now possible to press the 'Menu' key to skip the definition of keys that are not available on your particular RC unit. - Fixed handling DVD subtitles in the SPU decoder (thanks to Andreas Schultz). - Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary device during EPG scan.
2002-06-23Version 1.1.4vdr-1.1.4Klaus Schmidinger
- Added Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten). - Activated cutting. - Activated 'Transfer Mode'. - Moved handling of the Menu key entirely into vdr.c. - Switched VDR's own player to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - Switched handling 'Transfer Mode' to the new cPlayer/cControl structures. - The following limitations apply to this version: + The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet. + Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
