VDR developer version 1.7.38 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.38.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.37-1.7.38.diff MD5 checksums: f4ef0f60ed662f3c983a830da67df9b2 vdr-1.7.38.tar.bz2 e945b0f44e13ed768de726cf6e66317c vdr-1.7.37-1.7.38.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. Approaching version 2.0.0: ========================== If all goes well, there should be no more functional or API changes before the final version 2.0.0. There will just be a few more fixes. From the HISTORY file: - Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Marc Perrudin, Bernard Jaulini and Peter Münster). - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Fixed moving editing marks, so that they don't get overwritten with old values through an update of the marks file. - Removed an invalid line from channels.conf.terr (reported by Lars Hanisch). - Fixed an unexpected k_Repeat key event after a k_Release in lirc.c. - Fixed permissions of po/sr_SR.po (reported by Dominic Evans). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed using "Pause" and "Slow motion" near the end of a recording (replay stopped a few seconds after the end of the recording file has been reached). - Fixed selecting the last replayed recording in the Recordings menu in case there are folders and plain recordings with names that differ only in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andre Weidemann). - Fixed the description of the OSD drawing functions DrawEllipse() (the values -5...-8 for the Quadrants parameter are not implemented). - Made cOsd::DestroyPixmap() "NULL proof". - Now deleting any previously allocated pixmaps in cOsd::SetAreas(). - Added demos of the DrawEllipse() and DrawSlope() function to the 'osddemo' plugin (press '1' or '2', respectively). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - The timeout for trying to switch to a valid programme is now reset immediately once a programme has been found. - No longer checking for EOPNOTSUPP in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() to avoid breaking this function in case the driver suddenly decides to return a different errno value if an operation is not supported. - Moved the definition of TIMERMACRO_TITLE and TIMERMACRO_EPISODE from recording.h to config.h and using them to initialize Setup.NameInstantRecord (avoids having the same information in two places). - Fixed the return value of cOsdProvider::StoreImage() in case there is no OSD provider. - Fixed a crash in cMenuEditChanItem::Set() when entering a channel number that doesn't exist (reported by Mikael Hübsch). - Fixed displaying pending timers in "alert" mode in the LCARS skin. - Added missing $(LDFLAGS) to the Makefile of the dvbhddevice plugin (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed some spellings in PLUGINS.html and Doxyfile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added '-p' to the cp command in the install-conf target of the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added missing 'const' to cDevice::HasProgramme() and cDevice::HasLock(). - Fixed determining the priority of the primary device in case it is neither replaying nor receiving a live channel (thanks to Matthias Senzel for reporting a problem with switching back to live viewing after replay in a setup with device bonding). - Removed all \return and \param tags from comment lines marked with "///<" for Doxygen. There was only a rather small number of these, and I would probably always forget to put them in place when writing future comments, so I decided to drop them entirely. - Added Doxyfile.filter to have special characters escaped that would otherwise be dropped by Doxygen (reported by Ville Skyttä). - Using 'cat' instead of 'cp' to copy the Doxyfile to avoid problems in case Doxyfile is write protected. - Updated the Doxyfile with a newer version of Doxygen. - Turned off following symlinks in the Doxyfile. - Removed trailing whitespace. - Expanded tabs in PLUGINS/src/dvbhddevice/setup.c. - Some formatting fixes.

VDR developer version 1.7.37 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.37.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.36-1.7.37.diff MD5 checksums: 602dc7e678bcfcf075da36344a337562 vdr-1.7.37.tar.bz2 34e953fcffc112f316cbfc1f53915324 vdr-1.7.36-1.7.37.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. Approaching version 2.0.0: ========================== If all goes well, there should be no more functional or API changes before the final version 2.0.0. There will just be a few more fixes. From the HISTORY file: - Now also using FindHeader() in cMpeg2Fixer::AdjTref() (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Added missing template for DVBDIR to Make.config.template (reported by Derek Kelly). - The LCARS menu now also works if the OSD has only 1bpp (two colors). - Fixed possible garbage in the remaining time of the LCARS replay display in case the hours change from two to one digit. - Fixed upscaling bitmaps. The last row and column of the scaled bitmap was not filled, which resulted in empty lines between scaled subtitles. - Fixed a leftover line in case a two line subtitle was followed by a one line subtitle on the dvbhddevice in "high level" OSD mode. - Returning 0 from cDvbSdFfDevice::NumProvidedSystems() if option --outputonly is given. - The index file is now closed after initially reading it if it is older than 3600 seconds. - Improved responsiveness during replay when close to the recording's end. - Fixed a leftover progress display in the LCARS main menu when replay of a recording ends while the menu is open, and the live channel has no EPG information. - Fixed possible audio chatter when a recording is replayed to its very end. - Added dependency on 'i18n' to 'install-i18n' in the VDR Makefile (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Changed several calls to Skins.Message() in vdr.c to Skins.QueueMessage() in order to avoid a black screen while such a message is displayed in case the channel will be switched (reported by Uwe Scheffler). - Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Improved LIRC timing for repeat function. - When pausing live video, the current audio and subtitle tracks are now retained. - Added some notes about plugin Makefiles to PLUGINS.html. - Avoiding an extra key press event if the repeat function kicks in when controlling VDR via the PC keyboard. - The new options "Setup/Miscellaneous/Remote control repeat delay" and "Setup/Miscellaneous/Remote control repeat delta" can be used to adjust the behavior of the remote control in case a key is held pressed down for a while, so that the repeat function kicks in (see MANUAL). The builtin LIRC and KBD remote controls already use these parameters. It is recommended that plugins that implement an interface to any kind of remote controls also use the parameters Setup.RcRepeatDelay and Setup.RcRepeatDelta for the desired purpose, and remove any setup options they might have that serve the same purpose. - cTimer no longer does any special "VFAT" handling to shorten directory names to 40 characters. When a string is used as a directory name for a recording, the maximum length of the directory path, as well as the individual directory names, is now limited to the values specified by the new command line option --dirnames (see man vdr(1) for details). For backwards compatibility the option --vfat is still available and has the same effect as --dirnames=250,40,1. - The macro MaxFileName is now obsolete and may be removed in future versions. Use NAME_MAX directly instead. - There is no more fixed limit to the maximum number of cPixmap objects an OSD can create. However, a particular device may still be unable to create an arbitrary number of pixmaps, due to limited resources. So it's always a good idea to use as few pixmaps as possible. - Fixed formatting and removed some superfluous break statements in vdr.c's command line option switch.
2013-01-22Version 1.7.36Klaus Schmidinger
VDR developer version 1.7.36 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff MD5 checksums: e514f72a2a8c44f39e47b540d6ad325f vdr-1.7.36.tar.bz2 9312a0d10bcda87d3c3c7e6dfbebcd05 vdr-1.7.35-1.7.36.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Added maximum SNR value for PCTV Systems nanoStick T2 290e (thanks to Antti Hartikainen). - Added a remark indicating that the coordinates of Rect in a call to cDevice::CanScaleVideo() are in the range of the width and height returned by GetOsdSize() (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). - Modified the Makefiles (thanks to Christopher Reimer). By default VDR is now built according to the FHS ("File system Hierarchy Standard"), and a plain "make" in the VDR source directory just builds everything, but doesn't copy it to ./PLUGINS/lib and ./locale any more. You can use a Make.config file (copied from Make.config.template) and set the parameter LCLBLD=1 to have everything built and installed under the VDR source tree (as was the default in previous versions). If you already have your own Make.config file, you may want to copy the new Make.config.template and adapt it to your needs. If you don't want VDR's data files to be spread around your system according to the FHS, you can set the parameter ONEDIR=1 (using Make.config) to have all files in one /video directory as before. - Fixed the example for cReceiver in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed sorting recordings in case two folders have the same name, but one of them ends in an additional digit, as in "abc" and "abc2" (reported by Andreas Mair). - Added "repeat" function when using the keyboard to control VDR (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The SVDRP command LSTR now knows the additional parameter "path", which can be given to get the actual file name of a recording's directory (suggested by Stefan Stolz). - Fixed multiple occurrences of the same directory in the recordings list in case there are directories that only differ in non-alphanumeric characters (reported by Andreas Mair). - Absolute jumps when replaying a recording (via the Red key) are now only performed if an actual value has been entered (suggested by Ulf Kiener). - The last replayed recording is now stored in setup.conf, which allows the blue "Resume" key in the main menu to work even after a restart of VDR. - The SVDRP command NEWT no longer checks whether a timer with the given data already exists (suggested by Malte Forkel). - Implemented scaling of SPU bitmaps (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Improved cutting MPEG-2 video (thanks to Sören Moch). - Reduced the number of retries in cTransfer::Receive() to avoid blocking recordings in case the primary device can't handle the current live signal.

VDR developer version 1.7.35 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.35.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.34-1.7.35.diff MD5 checksums: 3b9d0376325370afb464b6c5843591c7 vdr-1.7.35.tar.bz2 4b6fb681359325ad33a466503503e772 vdr-1.7.34-1.7.35.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from 'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested. - Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the "newplugin" script. - Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to xgettext in several plugin Makefiles. - Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13). - Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested by Christopher Reimer). The file Make.global is no longer used, and plugin Makefiles don't include the file Make.config any more. Instead they now retrieve all necessary information through calls to pkg-config. - The plugin Makefiles now have a separate 'install' target (suggested by Christopher Reimer). In order to still allow the normal building of VDR (with all plugins in its ./PLUGINS/src subdirectory, the plugin libraries in ./PLUGINS/lib and the i18n files in ./locale) the VDR Makefile checks the settings of LIBDIR and LOCDIR when building the plugins from within the VDR source directory. If these macros have their default values, then the 'install' targets of the plugins' Makefiles are called. Otherwise the 'all' targets are called and the plugins are merely built, and will have to be installed by a call to 'make install-plugins'. This now also allows a user to copy a plugin source to any directory, change into that directory and do 'make' and 'make install' to have the plugin installed to wherever the local installation of VDR expects them. - Plugin Makefiles now use DESTDIR and the 'install' program (thanks to Christopher Reimer). - Due to the changes to the plugin Makefiles, existing plugins will not build with this version of VDR any more. You can either use the new 'newplugin' script to generate a dummy plugin directory and use the Makefile from there (adapting it to your particular plugin), or apply the patch from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33-pluginmakefile.diff to your Makefile to make the necessary changes (see comments in that file for details). - Added the new menu categories mcChannelEdit, mcTimerEdit, mcScheduleNow, mcScheduleNext, mcRecordingInfo, mcPluginSetup, mcSetupOsd, mcSetupEpg, mcSetupDvb, mcSetupLnb, mcSetupCam, mcSetupRecord, mcSetupReplay, mcSetupMisc and mcSetupPlugins. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed replay stuttering close to the end of an ongoing recording (reported by Andreas Regel). - Fixed cIndexFile::GetNextIFrame() to properly handle the case where the very last frame is an I-frame (which normally shouldn't occur). - Fixed replaying ongoing recordings from other VDR instances.

Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== This version comes with revised versions of the Makefiles for VDR itself and all of its standard plugins. As a result of this, existing plugins will no longer build with this version of VDR, unless their Makefiles are properly adapted. To do so, please follow the instructions given below. There is also a generic patch (see below) that might help you update your plugin's Makefile. If you do want to build this version of VDR with plugins that don't have their Makefiles adapted yet, you can simply copy the Makefile, Make.global and Make.config (if applicable) files from a previous version of VDR into this source and use them. Note, though, that you cannot mix old and new Makefiles. All Makefiles for VDR and all plugins must be either old or new! PLEASE GIVE THE PLUGIN DEVELOPERS SOME TIME TO ADAPT THEIR MAKEFILES ACCORDINGLY. AFTER ALL, IT'S CHRISTMAS, SO THEY PROBABLY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN SIT AT THEIR COMPUTERS ;-). From the HISTORY file: - Changed the type of the TimerMatch parameter in cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent() from 'int' to 'eTimerEvent' (reported by Christoph Haubrich). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed cOsd::GetBitmap() to always return NULL if a non-exising area is requested. - Added several missing "`ls $^`" in the calls to xgettext in plugin Makefiles and the "newplugin" script. - Fixed setting the --package-name and --package-version options in the calls to xgettext in several plugin Makefiles. - Added "-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE" to the DEFINES in the Makefile (somehow got lost from Make.config.template in version 1.7.13). - Removed some redundancy in the Makefile/Make.global/Make.config mechanism (suggested by Christopher Reimer).

2012-12-26Version 1.7.33Klaus Schmidinger
VDR developer version 1.7.33 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.diff MD5 checksums: 7c21451360ac7959d0d95e533d34451c vdr-1.7.33.tar.bz2 c79257198f8569bc02f43dc470ee3076 vdr-1.7.32-1.7.33.diff WARNING: ======== This is a developer version. Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. IMPORTANT: ========== This version of VDR no longer sets LC_NUMERIC to "C" in order to make sure any floating point numbers written to configuration files use a proper decimal point. It rather explicitly converts such numbers using the new functions atod() and dtoa(). IF YOU USE PLUGINS THAT STORE FLOATING POINT NUMBERS IN THEIR OWN CONFIGURATION FILES, YOU SHOULD SET export LC_NUMERIC=C BEFORE RUNNING VDR, UNTIL THESE PLUGINS HAVE BEEN PROPERLY UPDATED. From the HISTORY file: - In order to be able to play TS recordings from other sources, in which there is more than one PMT PID in the PAT, 'int cPatPmtParser::PatPmt(void)' has been changed to 'bool cPatPmtParser::IsPatPmt(int Pid)'. - Fixed learning remote control keys with the LCARS skin. - Updated the Macedonian OSD texts (thanks to Dimitar Petrovski). - Fixed getting only non-video packets in cCuttingThread::GetPendingPackets() (reported by Sören Moch). - Changed all occurrences of MPEG4 to H264 (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed getting the number of editing sequences in case the last sequence has no actual end mark. - The cutter now only increments the TS continuity counter for packets that have a payload (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed adjusting the DTS values in the cutter, to compensate for dropped B-frames (pointed out by Sören Moch). - Fixed a typo in skins.h (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Simplified calculating the PTS offset in cPtsFixer::Fix() and fixed the overflow handling of PCR values (thanks to Sören Moch). - Fixed calling iconv_close() only with a valid iconv_t value (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed faulty opening of the Recordings menu when pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode in case there is a "last viewed" recording. - Fixed some #include statements in plugins to use <vdr/...> instead of "vdr/..." (thanks to Lars Hanisch). - Fixed some spellings in osd.h and svdrp.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Fixed handling lowercase polarization characters in channel definitions if no DiSEqC is used (reported by Mike Hay, actual bug pointed out by Stefan Huelswitt). - Synchronizing system time to the transponder time is now done using adjtime() in order to avoid discontinuities (suggested by Manuel Reimer). If the time difference is more than 10 seconds, stime() is still used to do the initial sync. - The '7' and '9' keys now jump to the very beginning or end, respectively, of the recording, even if there is no mark set at that point (following a request from Andre Weidemann). - Now always setting the TDT EIT filter, because otherwise when turning on using the transponder time in the Setup menu, it would only be used after the next restart of VDR (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The new functions cDevice::CanScaleVideo() and cDevice::ScaleVideo() can be used by derived output devices to implement scaling the video to a given size and location (based on a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). - The SVDRP command HITK now discards any keys if the remote control is currently turned off (thanks to Alexander Hans). - The new remote control key "Play/Pause" can be used with remote controls that don't have separate keys for "Play" and "Pause", but rather have a single key for both functions (thanks to Stefan Hofmann for suggesting to implement support for such remote controls). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Pause on mark set" can be used to activate automatically going into Pause mode if an editing mark is set during replay (suggested by Andre Weidemann). - When regenerating the index of a recording, the frame rate stored in the info file is now automatically fixed if it differs from the value detected by the frame detector. - Fixed creating the edited version directory if a relative file name is given in the call to 'vdr --edit' (the '/video' part was stripped from the given file name even if it wasn't there). - The new option "Setup/Replay/Progress display time" can be used to activate automatically displaying the progress display whenever replay of a recording is started (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). - Changed reading and writing of floating point numbers into configuration files to make it independent of the decimal point used in the current locale. All calls to atof() have been replaced with the new function atod(), which makes sure the string representation of a floating point number using a '.' as decimal point will be handled correctly, even if the locale in use expects a ',' as the decimal point. Plugins that read floating point numbers from their own configuration files will also need to use atod() for this, or use a method of their own (this is not necessary if values are stored in VDR's setup.conf file, because VDR takes care of this). The reason for these changes is that floating point numbers presented to the user shall be displayed in the way defined by the current locale (suggested by Stefan Blochberger). If you use plugins that store floating point values in configuration files of their own and have not yet been adapted to this change, you should set export LC_NUMERIC=C before running VDR. Otherwise your plugin's configuration data may not be read or written correctly. - The new functions SetItemEvent(), SetItemTimer(), SetItemChannel() and SetItemRecording() of the cSkinDisplayMenu class can be reimplemented by skin plugins to display these items in a more elaborate way than just a simple line of text.

From the HISTORY file: - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the Green button in the "Edit timer" menu from "Once" to "Single" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed some typos in HISTORY and CONTRIBUTORS (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The channel name column in the "What's on now/next" menu now adjusts its width to display the full short name of each channel (suggested by Dominic Evans). - Dropped the meanwhile obsolete script 'i18n-to-gettext'. - Removed the obsolete function cPlugin::RegisterI18n(). - Removed the obsolete typedef tI18nPhrase. - Adapted menu column widths of 'skincurses' to the wider HD OSD sizes. - Deactivated definition of __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS (recording.h) and LEGACY_CRECEIVER (receiver.h) to trigger an error for any plugin that still uses the respective code. You can reactivate these to quickly make your plugin compile again, but beware that these code parts will be removed in one of the next versions. - Made the "overloaded-virtual" warning an error to detect hidden overloaded virtual functions (thanks to Anssi Hannula for pointing out -Werror=...). Plugin authors may want to change -Woverloaded-virtual to -Werror=overloaded-virtual in their Makefiles. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Improved fast forwarding to the end of a timeshift recording. - The new function cDevice::DeviceName() returns a string identifying the name of the given device. - When toggling a timer between "Single" and "Repeating", the previous setting is now retained in case the user toggles back to the original value. - When estimating the remaining disk space (in hours), the average data rate of all existing recordings is now taken into account. If this value can't be determined, the previous value of 25.75 MB/min is taken. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in the 'osddemo' plugin. - No longer using GetFont() (which is not thread safe) in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Fixed a memory leak in cSubtitleRegion::UpdateTextData(). - Moved setting LC_NUMERIC further up to make sure any floating point numbers use a decimal point (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added missing channel locking to cEIT. - Fixed reduced bpp support for DVB subtitles (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Reverted some improvements to Make.config.template (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed handling IDLEPRIORITY in cDvbDevice::ProvidesChannel() (thanks to Frank Schmirler).

The cDevice's "avoid device" mechanism has been replaced by using "occupied". - Fixed selecting devices for the EPG scan in case the primary device is bonded with an other one. - Removed the calls to EITScanner.UsesDevice(this) from dvb[hs]ddevice.c, because the code following these calls is only executed if LiveView is true, which is never the case when the EITScanner switches to a channel. - Removed the obsolete function cEITScanner::UsesDevice(). If a plugin has used this function to find out whether a call to its cStatus::ChannelSwitch() function was due to a live channel switch, it can use that function's new parameter LiveView. Any plugins that implement cStatus::ChannelSwitch() need to add the parameter 'bool LiveView' to that function. - Fixed parsing channel data in case the audio pid is 0. On channels that only broadcast Dolby Digital audio there were sometimes log entries like "changing pids of channel ... from ... to ..." with no apparent difference between the old and new set of pids. - Fixed checking pids in case a channel has only Dolby Digital audio. - The Green button in the "Edit timer" menu can now be used to toggle between single shot and repeating timers. This is the same as pressing '0' when the "Day" field is selected, but it works at any time (and is more obvious). - Revoked "If the first event in a schedule has a table id of 0x00, any incoming EIT data for that schedule from the DVB stream will be completely ignored". - Added a new plugin interface for implementing EPG handlers. + A plugin can implement an EPG handler by creating an object derived from cEpgHandler and implementing the necessary member functions. + The special handling of events with table id 0x00 has been dropped. For backwards compatibility EPG events with table ids lower than 0x4E will be treated as if they had a table id of 0x4E, and the new plugin 'epgtableid0' can be used to have them handled like in previous versions. + The default table id for a newly created cEvent has been changed to 0xFF, which is higher than any normal table id that is broadcast in the EIT data. See PLUGINS.html, section "Electronic Program Guide" for more information.

Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. From the HISTORY file: - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed a high load in case a transponder can't be received. - Improved the way DVB_API_VERSION is checked. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed asserting there is a live programme if the primary device is bonded with a device that starts a recording on a different band. - Fixed the return type of cMyDeviceHook::DeviceProvidesTransponder() in PLUGINS.html. - Fixed a crash in a plugin using cDeviceHook when VDR ends (reported by Oliver Endriss). - Some improvements to the Makefiles (thanks to Christian Ruppert). - Fixed cRecording::LengthInSeconds(), which wrongfully rounded the result to full minutes (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Symbolic links are no longer resolved in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (thanks to Sundararaj Reel). - The epg.data file is now read in a separate thread to make the startup process faster in case the file is very large (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Fixed selecting the primary device for receiving the live viewing channel in case it is bonded with an other device and has no receiver attached to it. - Fixed a possible crash when canceling VDR while displaying subtitles, and the primary device is no longer available. - Improved handling subtitles of BBC channels. - No longer using tabs as delimiter in the EPG bugfix log (they were garbled in the log file). - Added a missing '.' after the month in VPS strings. - Added some missing 'const' to cDevice (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Fixed handling the PrimaryLimit when requesting a device for live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler). - Removed superfluous calls to SetVideoFormat() from device constructors. This function is called in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice(), anyway. - An ongoing editing process is now canceled if either the original or the edited version of the recording is deleted from the Recordings menu. - The SVDRP command DELR now won't delete a recording that is currently being edited. - Removed code stub for obsolete SVDRP command MOVT. - The DVB device adapters/frontends are now probed by scanning the /dev/dvb directory instead of looping through adapter/frontend numbers. This allows for "holes" in the device numbering. - cReadDir::Next() now skips directory entries "." and "..". - Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode. - Fixed switching into time shift mode when pausing live video (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for helping to debug this one).

Even though I use it in my productive environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. This version contains functions to determine the "signal strength" and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may want to apply the patches from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from that frontend. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed detecting frames for channels that split frames into several payloads (reported by Derek Kelly). - Now initializing Setup.InitialChannel to an empty string to avoid problems in case there is no setup.conf. - The start time of an edited recording is now set to the time of the first editing mark (thanks to Udo Richter). This obsoletes the CUTTIME patch. - Direct access to the members start, priority, lifetime, and deleted of cRecording as well as to position and comment of cMark is now deprecated. Plugin authors should switch to the new access functions for these members. For now the macro __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS is defined in recording.h, which exposes these members, so that existing plugins will still compile. Comment out this #define to check whether a particular plugin needs to be modified. This #define may be removed in a future version. - The new functions cRecording::NumFrames() and cRecording::LengthInSeconds() return the number of frames and length (in seconds) of a recording (suggested by Steffen Barszus). - The subtitle PIDs are now stored in the channels.conf file as an extension to the TPID field (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new function cDevice::ProvidesEIT() is used to determine whether a device can provide EIT data and will thus be used in cEITScanner::Process() to receive EIT data from the channels it can receive (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that by default it is assumed that a device can't provide EIT data, and only the builtin cDvbDevice returns true from this function. - The Audio and Subtitles options are now available through the Green and Yellow keys in the Setup/DVB menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). This is mainly for remote controls that don't have dedicated keys for these functions. - The SVDRP command HITK now accepts multiple keys (up to 31). - The Recordings menu now displays the length (in hours:minutes) of each recording (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Note that the "new" indicator has been moved from the recording time to the length column. This new format is also used by the SVDRP command LSTR, so in case you have an application that parses the LSTR output, you will need to adjust it to the new format. - The dvbsddevice plugin now supports the new option --outputonly, which disables receiving on SD FF devices and uses the device only for output (thanks to Udo Richter). - Fixed detecting frames on radio channels (reported by Chris Mayo). - Revoked the changes to cFrameDetector that have been introduced in version 1.7.19. Detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries is now done by locally skipping TS packets in cFrameDetector.

This version introduces functions to determine the "signal strength" and "signal quality" through cDevice. If you are using a DVB card that contains an stb0899 frontend chip (like the TT-budget S2-3200) you may want to apply the patches from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches to the LinuxDVB driver source in order to receive useful results from that frontend. Since apparently the various frontend drivers return different maximum values in their FE_READ_SIGNAL_STRENGTH and FE_READ_SNR functions (some deliver a value in the range 0x0000...0xFFFF, while others return values as "dB/10" or "dBm/10" (the latter with an offset to make the value positive, since the parameter is unsigned), the functions cDvbTuner::GetSignalStrength() and cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality() use the device's "subsystem ID" to map these values into the range 0...100, which is the normalized return value of these functions. Take a look at these two functions and maybe remove the comment characters from the lines //#define DEBUG_SIGNALSTRENGTH //#define DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY in dvbdevice.c to get some debug output if your device doesn't return any directly useful values and may have to be added appropriately to the 'switch (subsystemId)' statement. The channel display of the 'sttng' skin uses these values to implement a signal strength/quality display. From the HISTORY file: - Fixed cString's operator=(const char *String) in case the given string is the same as the existing one (thanks to Dirk Leber). - Avoiding a gcc 4.6 compiler error in the skincurses plugin (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - TsGetPayload() now checks if there actually is a payload in the given TS packet (reported by Dirk Leber). - Now sorting the source file names in the call to xgettext, to make sure the results are not dependent on the sequence of the files. Plugin authors may want to change the line containing the xgettext call in their Makefile accordingly by changing "$^" to "`ls $^`". - The primary device is now only avoided for recording if it is an old SD full featured card. This is done through the new function cDevice::AvoidRecording(). - Subtitle PIDs are now also decrypted (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a possible race condition in cDiseqc::Execute() (reported by Marco Göbenich). The return value of cDiseqcs::Get() is now const, so plugin authors may need to adjust their code if they use this function. - The new functions cDevice::SignalStrength() and cDevice::SignalQuality() can be used to determine the signal strength and quality of a given device (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for some input on how to use BER and UNC values to generate a "quality" value). - The 'sttng' skin now displays two colored bars at the bottom of the channel display, indicating the strength (upper bar) and quality (lower bar) of the received signal. The number to the left of these bars indicates the actual device the current channel is being received with. - Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries (reported by Johan Andersson). In order to fix this, the semantics of cFrameDetector had to be changed a little. See cRecorder::Action() and cIndexFileGenerator::Action() on how to use the new cFrameDetector::NewPayload() function. - The frame detector now only starts collecting PTS values after it has seen the first I-frame, otherwise it might get MaxPtsValues values and stop analyzing even though the incoming data is still garbage (reported by Derek Kelly). - The info file of a recording is now only overwritten with a new fps value if that new value is not the default value (thanks to Derek Kelly for reporting a problem with the fps value being overwritten in case a recording was interrupted and resumed, and the fps value could not be determined after resuming recording). - The initial channel is now stored by the channel ID in the setup.conf file, in order to avoid problems in case channels are reordered or deleted (reported by Lars Bläser). - Added support for "content identifier descriptor" and "default authority descriptor" to 'libsi' (thanks to Dave Pickles).
2011-04-17Version 1.7.18Klaus Schmidinger
- Changed -O2 to -O3 in Make.config.template (reported by Matti Lehtimäki). - Added a missing 'default' case in cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse(). - Fixed some direct comparisons of double values. - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with separate "fields" instead of complete frames. - Made updating the editing marks during replay react faster in case the marks file has just been written (with a patch from Udo Richter). - Fixed horizontal scaling of subtitles (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Stripped the note "The data returned by this function is only used for informational purposes (if any)" from the description of cDevice::GetVideoSize(). The VideoAspect is now used to properly scale subtitles. - Fixed cUnbufferedFile::Seek() in case it is compiled without USE_FADVISE (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Fixed the Language header of the Serbian translation file (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added anti-aliasing when upscaling bitmaps, which improves the display of SD subtitles when replayed on an HD OSD (thanks to Reinhard Nissl for his help in debugging). - Renamed cBitmap::Scale() to Scaled(), because it doesn't modify the bitmap itself, but rather returns a scaled copy. - Fixed the description of cReceiver in PLUGINS.html, regarding detaching a receiver from its device before deleting it (reported by Winfried Köhler). This change in behavior was introduced in version 1.5.7. - Fixed scaling subtitles in case the OSD size is exactly the same as the display size of the subtitles. - Added a missing initialization to sDvbSpuRect (reported by Sergiu Dotenco). - Replaced "%lld" and "%llX" print format specifiers with "PRId64" and "PRIX64" to avoid compiler warnings with gcc 4.5.2 (thanks to Sergiu Dotenco). On a personal note: I find it a step in the totally wrong direction that there have been macros introduced to work around this problem in the first place. There should have been "real" format specifiers defined that address this. These macros are nothing but an ugly workaround. - Added Cancel(3) to ~cTrueColorDemo() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added a missing font deletion in cTrueColorDemo::Action() in the "osddemo" plugin (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a buffer overflow in cFont::Bidi() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Added HD stream content identifiers to vdr.5 (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - Made cRecordingInfo::Read(FILE *f) private to avoid calls to it from outside cRecordingInfo or cRecording (reported by Mika Laitio). - The dvbhddevice plugin is now part of the VDR distribution archive (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Removed an obsolete local variable in dvbsdffosd.c (thanks to Paul Menzel). - Fixed a possible NULL pointer dereference in osddemo.c (reported by Paul Menzel). - Now using pkg-config to get fribidi, freetype and fontconfig cflags and libs (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - The Makefile now also installs the include files (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added handling of "ANSI/SCTE 57" descriptors (thanks too Rolf Ahrenberg). - Avoiding an unecessary call to Recordings.ResetResume() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
2011-03-19Version 1.7.17Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir() (cont'd) (thanks to Steffen Barszus). - Changed the description of cDevice::GetSTC() to make it mandatory for devices that can replay. - Removed the check for positive STC values from cDvbSubtitleConverter::Action(). - Added cString::operator=(const char *String) (suggested by Antti Seppälä). - Some spelling fixes (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Passing package name and version to xgettext (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made 'dist' target dependent on up to date *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Added Language and fixed Language-Team header of *.po (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - Fixed detecting frames on channels that broadcast with 50 or 60 fps. This avoids artifacts during fast forward/rewind when replaying recordings from such channels. To fix the index of existing recordings from such channels, just delete the 'index' file of the recording and VDR will generate a new one the next time you play it. You should also change the line "F 25" to "F 50" in the 'info' file of that recording. - Added support for "registration descriptor" to 'libsi' and using it in pat.c (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed unjustified log entries about changed channel pids (reported by Derek Kelly). - Added an include of VDR's 'Make.global' to libsi's Makefile (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Removed displaying the "contents" information from the "Classic VDR" and "ST:TNG Panels" skins, because it is often wrong and nothing but irritating. - Added typecasts to avoid gcc 4.5 warnings in switch statements on eKeys variables where additional 'k_...' flags are used. - Fixed inclusion of <stdarg.h> (thanks to Henning Heinold). - Changed "frame duration" to "frame rate" in vdr.5 (reported by Tobias Grimm). - Removing a cRemote from the Remotes list in case its initialization failed (thanks to Dominik Strasser). - Added LDFLAGS to the linker calls in the Makefiles (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel and Paul Menzel). - Now updating the 'frames per second' data in the list of recordings when a new recording is started that has a frame rate other than the default. - The include path to the freetype2 header files is now retrieved via a call to 'pkg-config --cflags freetype2' (suggested by Andreas Oberritter). - The OSD now has full TrueColor support. There can be several "pixmaps" that can be overlayed with alpha blending. All existing skins should work out of the box with the TrueColor OSD - the only exception being cOsd::GetBitmap(). Since the TrueColor OSD doesn't use bitmaps, this function will return a dummy bitmap, which may not be what the plugin expects. As long as this bitmap is only used for setting the palette, there is no problem. However, any other operations on this bitmap will have no effect. See the description of the cPixmap functions in osd.h for details about the new functionalities. The "ST:TNG Panels" skin has been enhanced to automatically use the TrueColor OSD if available. The "osddemo" plugin has been extended to show some of the possibilities of the TrueColor OSD if it is run on a system that actually provides TrueColor support. Thanks to Reinhard Nissl for some valuable input, help with debugging, and an implementation of the AlphaBlend() function. - Updated the Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala). - Added Serbian language texts (thanks to Milan Cvijanovic). - Fixed reallocating memory in the "pictures" plugin (reported by Paul Menzel, with input from Oliver Endriss). - Fixed reallocating memory in cTsToPes::PutTs() (suggested by Oliver Endriss). - Now checking the result of all realloc() calls. - Fixed setting up the 'Recordings' menu in case there are several recordings with exactly the same name (reported by Marcus Hilbrich). - Setting the audio type of language descriptors to 0x00 in the PAT/PMT generator (thanks to Anssi Hannula). - Changed the compiler optimization flag to -O3, which gives quite a performance boost in the AlphaBlend() function. - While replaying, the editing marks are now updated every 10 seconds (based on a patch from Manuel Reimer). - Now reducing the thread and I/O priority cCuttingThread::Action() to make the foreground process more responsive (suggested by Frank Neumann). - Removed checking for minimum line length of 21 characters in the LIRC receiver code (reported by Gerald Dachs). - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Now storing the original display size when handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - The original display size of subtitles is now used to scale them properly when displaying them on an HD OSD.
2010-09-19Version 1.7.16Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Added missing Dtypes for ATSC (thanks to Alex Lasnier). - Updated the Portuguese language texts (thanks to Cristiano A. Silva). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed the array size of Atypes in cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added locking to the cCutter functions to avoid a crash in case CutRecording() is called from a plugin (reported by Andreas Mair). - Fixed DDS detection for HD resolution subtitles (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed following symbolic links in RemoveFileOrDir(). - Added support for languages that are written right-to-left (based on a patch from Osama Alrawab). See INSTALL for information on how to turn this on. - Added Arabian language texts (thanks to Osama Alrawab).
2010-02-28Version 1.7.13Klaus Schmidinger
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Changed the position of Sirius 4 to S4.8E in sources.conf (thanks to Alexander Gross). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Moved the declaration of cMenuCommands to menu.h, so that plugins can use it. - Added a note to the MANUAL, saying that adding new transponders only works if the "EPG scan" is active (suggested by Halim Sahim). - Improved handling frames at the beginning and end of a recording in cDvbPlayer for devices with large buffers (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDeviceHook to allow plugins more control over which device can provide which transponder (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Implemented cDevice::GetCurrentlyTunedTransponder() (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). - Moved strictly necessary Makefile options into Make.global, which is included by all plugins (thanks to Paul Menzel). The Makefiles of existing plugins should be modified like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2009/10/18 14:00:07 2.1 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2010/02/06 14:50:03 2.2 @@ -18,7 +18,7 @@ ### The C++ compiler and options: CXX ?= g++ -CXXFLAGS ?= -fPIC -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses +CXXFLAGS ?= -g -O2 -Wall -Woverloaded-virtual -Wno-parentheses ### The directory environment: @@ -26,6 +26,10 @@ LIBDIR = ../../lib TMPDIR = /tmp +### Make sure that necessary options are included: + +include $(VDRDIR)/Make.global + ### Allow user defined options to overwrite defaults: -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config ------------------------------------------------------------ - Added device definitions to the diseqc.conf file format, so that certain satellite positions can be limited to a given list of devices. This obsoletes the SOURCECAPS patch. - Keeping subtitles visible when pausing replay (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed adding new transponders in case there is only a single channel in the channel list (reported by Halim Sahin). - The file name in the "Timers" menu now shows only the base name of the recording without the folder path (if any). Otherwise with long folder paths the actual recording name was not visible at all. - Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Exported some libsi functions (thanks to Lucian Muresan). - Improved scalability of the default skins. - Fixed the German translation of "Folder name must not contain '%c'!" (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Plugins can now define new sources. In order to implement this, the following changes were made: + The transponder parameter string is no longer interpreted by cChannel, but rather stored as is and used only by the respective device. That way plugins can use a channel's parameter string to store arbitrary data (see vdr.5). + The new class cSourceParam can be used by plugins to define new sources, and to implement OSD items that will be used in the channel editor for editing the source specific parameters of a channel (see dvbdevice.c for an example of how this is done for the default DVB devices). + Purely numerical values are no longer accepted in the 'source' parameter of a channel. This obsoletes the PLUGINPARAM patch. - Updated the Lithuanian OSD texts (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras). - cSafeFile::Close() now flushes the file (suggested by Stephan Austermühle). - The option "Setup/DVB/Use Dolby Digital" now only controls whether Dolby Digital tracks appear in the "Audio" menu. Dolby Digital is always recorded. This obsoletes the DOLBYINREC patch.
2010-01-31Version 1.7.12Klaus Schmidinger
- Changed the EVCONTENTMASK_* macros to enums and changed "mask" to "group". - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The "Edit timer" menu can now set the folder for the recording from a list of folders stored in "folders.conf". - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - If svdrphosts.conf contains only the address of the local host, the SVDRP port is opened only for the local host (thanks to Manuel Reimer). - Renamed 'runvdr' to 'runvdr.template' and no longer copying it to the BINDIR in 'make install' (thanks to Martin Dauskardt). - Added plain text error messages to log entries from cOsd::SetAreas() (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - cPalette::ClosestColor() now treats fully transparent colors as "equal"; improved cDvbSpuBitmap::getMinBpp() (thanks to Matthieu Castet and Johann Friedrichs). - The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Channels wrap" controls whether the current channel wraps around the beginning or end of the channel list when zapping (thanks to Matti Lehtimäki). - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 1800. - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to the channel's PCR pid again. - Fixed determining the frame duration on channels where the PTS deltas jitter by +/-1 around 3600. - The PCR pid is now recorded for channels where this is different from the video PID. To facilitate this, the interfaces of cTransfer, cTransferControl, cRecorder and cReceiver have been modified, so that the PIDs are no longer given in separate parameters, but rather the whole channel is handed down for processing. The old constructor of cReceiver is still available, but it is recommended to plugin authors that they switch to the new interface as soon as possible. When replaying such a recording, the PCR packets are sent to PlayTsVideo() - The files "commands.conf" and "reccmd.conf" can now contain nested lists of commands. See vdr.5 for information about the new file format.
2010-01-06Version 1.7.11Klaus Schmidinger
- Fixed resetting the file size when regenerating the index file. - The new function cDevice::PatPmtParser() can be used in derived devices to access the PAT/PMT of the currently replayed material. - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - The PCR pid in generated PMTs is now set to 0x1FFF ("no PCR pid") in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt(), because VDR doesn't record the PCR pid. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - The 'sky' plugin is no longer part of the VDR source. - Improved SPU handling on devices with limited OSD capabilities (thanks to Matthieu Castet). - Several code modifications to avoid compiler warnings (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Added stream type 11172 AUDIO to cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Removed debug output of '-' from cTransfer::Receive(). - Added defines for large files to the 'newplugin' script (reported by Udo Richter). - Removed the workaround for short channel names of "Kabel Deutschland", because apparently they now have their data according to the DVB standard (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Some fixes to dvbspu.[hc] (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed a busy loop when moving editing marks (thanks to Johann Friedrichs). - Updated sources.conf (thanks to Derek Kelly). - Modified cCharSetConv so that it can be used to convert from "whatever VDR uses" to a given code (thanks to Joachim Wilke). - Channel names containing commas are now handled correctly in channels.conf. If a channel's short name contains a comma, it is replaced with a '.'. - cDevice now logs the device number when a new device is created. - Fixed handling STREAMTYPE_11172_AUDIO in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt(). - cParsePatPmt now has functions to retrieve the audio, dolby and subtitle pids. - cPatFilter::Process() now only stores CA descriptors for video and audio pids (thanks to Francesco Saverio Schiavarelli for reporting a problem with channels that have some encrypted components that VDR doesn't use). - cDevice::AddPid() now stores the stream type of the given pid (thanks to Andreas Regel). - Added cFont::FontName() and cFont::Size() (thanks to Andreas Regel). - cPatPmtParser now also stores the audio stream types. - The support for full featured DVB cards of the TT/FuSi design has been moved into the new plugin 'dvbsddevice'. On systems that use such a card as their primary device, this plugin now needs to be loaded when running VDR in order to view live or recorded video. If the plugin is not loaded, the card will be treated like a budget DVB card, and there will be no OSD or viewing capability. - Fixed handling the "CA PMT" generation (revised a change not mentioned in version 1.7.9's changes, which caused a malfunction with Conax and Viaccess CAMs). - Fixed stopping subtitle display when switching the primary device (thanks to Anssi Hannula). IMPORTANT NOTE TO PLUGIN AUTHORS: a plugin that implements a derived cDevice class that can replay video must now call the MakePrimaryDevice() function of its base class. - Fixed compiler warnings "format not a string literal and no format arguments" in some syslog calls (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new command line options --edit and --genindex can be used to edit a recording or generate its index without actually starting the entire VDR (based on a patch from Helmut Auer). - Improved the description of the transponder parameters in vdr.5 (thanks to Winfried Köhler). - Avoiding setting the video stream type to 2 if the vpid is 0 (problem reported by Arthur Konovalov). - Implemented handling the "Content Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the textual representation of the content descriptors as "genre". The epg.data file stores the genre using the tag character 'G'. - Implemented handling the "Parental Rating Descriptor" (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg). The 'classic', 'sttng' and 'curses' skins display the parental rating (if given) in their event displays. The epg.data file stores the parental rating using the tag character 'R'. IMPORTANT NOTE: if VDR doesn't display a parental rating, this does not necessarily mean that the given programme is suitable for all audiences! - Rearranged cEvent members to minimize memory waste. - After a CLRE command, no further EPG processing is now done for 10 seconds, so that data sent with subsequent PUTE commands doesn't interfere with data from the broadcasters (suggested by Helmut Auer). - Added support for DVB cards with multiple fontends. Note that this only works for DVB cards where each frontend can be used independently of all the others on the same adapter. - Fixed plugin arguments corruption with glibc 2.11 on x86_64 (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
