- Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T (see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler and Andy Carter for testing. If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C, for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the 'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial", for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards. Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]), and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses cChannel data accordingly. - The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources (satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to 'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging). - The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the "source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the 'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package. - The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format). - The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source. - The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used. - Removed some unnecessary #includes from eit.c and changed cMenuRecordings::Del() to cMenuRecordings::Delete() to avoid warnings in gcc-3.2 (thanks to Andreas Schultz for pointing this out). - Improved skipping channels that are (currently) not available (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt). - Updated channels.conf.terr and channels.conf.cable (thanks to Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed a bug when pressing the "Blue" button in the main menu without having displayed it (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting this one).
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.
2002-04-07Version 1.0.0vdr-1.0.0Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed a problem with wrong EPG data in the Schedules menu (thanks to Tobias Kerner, problem was initially reported by Michel Moster, but somehow I had misplaced his message...). - Added Spanish language texts (thanks to Ruben Nunez Francisco). - Fixed resetting the "First day" timer parameter once the timer actually starts recording. - Fixed the still picture workaround in case the progress display is active (thanks to Gerald Raaf). - Fixed a problem with accessing the epg.data file before it is fully written (thanks to Thilo Wunderlich for reporting this one). - Now the EPG scan skips channels that have their 'Ca' parameter explicitly set to an other DVB card (suggested by Sergei Haller). - Fixed a possible hangup when reading a broken epg.data file (thanks to Henning Holtschneider for pointing this one out). - Fixed a bug in the editing process in case a previously edited file with the same name was manually deleted on a system with more than one video directory (thanks to Dirk Wiebel for reporting this one).
2002-04-01Version 1.0.0pre5vdr-1.0.0pre5Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed restoring CICAM setup values for a fourth DVB card (thanks to Klaus Wolf). - Completed internationalization of OSD texts (thanks to Hannu Savolainen, Arnold Niessen, Paulo Lopes, Jean-Claude Repetto, Alberto Carraro, Matjaz Thaler and Truls Slevigen). - Improved file I/O in case of EINTR, which may occur e.g. with heavy system load (thanks to Werner Fink). - Now writing the title of a recording into the 'summary.vdr' file. - Workaround for displaying still frames with the unpatched LinuxDVB driver (if anybody ever finds out why the unpatched driver doesn't display VDR's still frames, please let me know). - When executing a command from the "Commands" menu, the title of that command is now immediately shown in the status line (followed by "...") to give the user some feedback that the command is being executed, which is especially important if this takes some time. - Fixed scrolling the "Channels" menu in case the cursor ends up on a group delimiter (thanks to Bernd Zierath for helping to debug this one). - Added manual pages vdr(1) and vdr(5) (which made the FORMATS file obsolete). - New command command line option '-V' to display the VDR version. - Adjusting column width for channel numbers in case there are more than 999 channels. - Checking the return value of '...FileRady...' calls in dvbapi.c for better performance under heavy system load. - New 'make' target 'install', which copies the manual pages and executables to their appropriate system locations and creates the /video directory if it doesn't exist yet. - Automatic hotkey assignment is now suppressed if the first entry in commands.conf starts with a digit in the range '1'...'9', followed by a blank. - Fixed a bug in switching back the replay mode display in time shift mode (thanks to Achim Lange for reporting this one). - Fixed a bug in the 'First day' timer parameter for timers that record over midnight. - Added units to Setup parameters. - Changed time entry in the 'Jump' command during replay, so that it is filled up from right to left. - Now using statfs() to determine the amount of free disk space, which avoids the use of an external 'df' command (thanks to Ruben Nunez Francisco). - Fixed skipping the next hit of a repeating timer (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one). - Fixed a bug when a timer records over midnight of a day that had a change in Daylight Saving Time. - Added Polish language texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski). - Fixed a bug in parsing group separators in channels.conf (thanks to Henning Holtschneider for reporting this one). - Changed the default 'Ok' key when using the PC keyboard from '5' (in the numeric block) to 'Enter', because the '5' key didn't work on keyboards with the F-keys on top. - Fixed a bug in the EPG bugfix mechanism if the extended description is shorter than 3 characters (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
