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.
The new default skin "LCARS" displays the signal strengths and qualities of
all devices in its main menu. For devices that have an stb0899 frontend chip
(like the TT-budget S2-3200) retrieving this information from the driver is
rather slow, which results in a sluggish response to user input in the main
menu. To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from
From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed cPixmapMemory::DrawEllipse() for quadrants -1 and -4.
- Fixed getting the maximum short channel name length in case there are no short names
at all (reported by Derek Kelly).
- The new function cDevice::DeviceType() returns a string identifying the type of
the given device.
- Now limiting the number of characters of a channel's (short) name to 16 in the
schedules menus, to keep that column from getting overly wide in case there is
a channel with a very long name that has no short name.
- Fixed EPG scan on systems with only a single DVB device that use software output
(reported by Juergen Lock).
- Skins can now inquire the menu category for which their cSkinDisplayMenu is currently
being used. This can be done either through a call to cSkinDisplayMenu::MenuCategory()
or by reimplementing cSkinDisplayMenu::SetMenuCategory(). This information allows a
skin to use special icons or decorations for the various types of menus in VDR.
- The new setup option "DVB/Standard compliance" can be used to switch between different
variations of the DVB standard (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). Currently there is "DVB"
(for the original DVB standard) and "ANSI/SCTE", which is used to properly handle
certain private stream types.
- The disk usage is no longer automatically added to the title of the main and
"Recordings" menus. This has always been a mekeshift solution and it is now up
to the individual skin if, where and how it wants to display this information.
A skin can use the new cVideoDiskUsage class to implement such a display. For
compatibility, the default skins "Classic VDR", "ST:TNG Panels" and "Text mode"
(i.e. curses) have been changed to behave like before. Other skins may want to
display the disk usage in totally different ways.
- A cOsdMenu can now handle skins that display different numbers of items in the
various menu categories.
- OSD and skin are now reinitialized after a plugin setup page has been confirmed,
to have them react immediately in case any change to a plugin's setup parameter
has an effect on the OSD.
- The Timers list is now marked as modified whenever a recording starts or ends.
- Fixed cDevice::StillPicture(), making sure it doesn't call the derived class's
function if no buffer has been allocated (reported by Marcus Roscher).
- Fixed the SVDRP command UPDR, which didn't update the global recordings list
(reported by Lars Hanisch).
- cControl::Control() now has an additional boolean parameter, which can be set to
true to get the current player control even if it is hidden.
- The new functions cControl::GetRecording() and cControl::GetHeader() can be used
to retrieve information about what the current player is playing.
- Fixed a possible high CPU load when pausing replay (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed character comparisons in cSubtitleObject::DecodeCharacterString() (reported
by Reinhard Mantey).
- Renamed the function cString::sprintf(const char *fmt, va_list &ap) to vsprintf(),
because it might inadvertently be called with a 'char *' as the second argument on
some compilers and cause a crash (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- Removed the "bondedMasterFailed" mechanism from cDvbTuner, because it caused
problems with the EPG scan in case a transponder is not receivable in a setup with
bonded devices (reported by Michael Schneider).
- Making sure setup strings don't contain any newline characters (thanks to Joachim
Wilke).
- The new member function cSkinDisplayReplay::SetRecording() allows a skin to display
more information about the currently played recording.
- Fixed a mismatched 'delete' in cSchedules::SetEpgDataFileName() (thanks to Reinhard
Mantey).
- The DrawText() functions of the OSD now accept the new alignment flag taBorder,
which triggers keeping a proper distance from the edge that taLeft or taRight
aligns to.
- Fixed checking for UTF-8 support in cFont::Bidi() (reported by Torsten Lang).
- If a recording has no info file, the 'title' of the recording's info is now set
to the recording's name.
- cVector::Clear() now reinitializes any previously used members.
- Fixed resetting CAMs (thanks to Marco Skambraks).
- The new function RgbShade() (include osd.h) can be used to generate a brighter or
darker version of a given color.
- The new class cSortedTimers can be used to quickly get a list of all timers, sorted
by their start time.
- The new skin "LCARS" is an enhanced version of the "ST:TNG" skin (which is still
there in its original layout, for those who don't like the LCARS skin, or can't use
it due to OSD limitations). The LCARS skin utilizes the new "menu category" feature
to display additional information on the main menu page. It shows upcoming timers
and the system's devices, as well as which device is recording which timers. The
upper pane of the main menu displays the programme data in live and replay mode,
and a progress bar. An indicator on the right side of the device list shows which
device is currently used for live viewing, and whether it is in transfer mode.
The individual device displays show the device number, the device type, which CAM
(if any ) is currently assigned to the device, and the signal strength and quality.
On the left side of the OSD there is a permanent display of the current date and
time, the disk usage and the system load.
"LCARS" is the new default skin of VDR. It requires at least a 4bpp (16 color) full
screen OSD, but you can still operate it if your OSD can handle only fewer colors
(in which case you may want to switch to the "ST:TNG" or "Classic VDR" skin).
- Finally removed the code marked with __RECORDING_H_DEPRECATED_DIRECT_MEMBER_ACCESS
and LEGACY_CRECEIVER.
- Now making sure that the "small font" is never larger than the "osd font".
- Fixed font handling with fontconfig 2.9.0 or newer (thanks to Joerg Bornkessel).
- Extended the interface to the script that gets called for recordings, so that in
the "edited" case it also provides the name of the original recording (thanks to
Christian Richter).
- Added DeleteEvent() to the EPG handler interface, so that an EPG handler can trigger
deleting of an event (thanks to Christian Kaiser).
- Speeded up opening menus on systems with many (several thousands) of recordings, by
caching the information whether a recording is stored on the video directory file
system within the cRecording data (based on a patch from Torsten Lang).

conditions and for testing and debugging.
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).

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:
- The fps value for channels where it differs from the default is now set correctly
when pausing live video.
- Increased the average character estimate for calculating tab positions in skins,
to better suit wide fonts (reported by Rudi Hofer).
- Fixed getting the subsystem ids of DVB devices in case they have been rearranged
via udev rules.
- Added several cTimer::Set...() functions (suggested by Alexander Rieger).
- Changed the return value of cTimer::SetFile() to 'void'.
- Revoked "Fixed a possible deadlock in time shift mode" because it caused trouble with
output on vdr-xine and dxr3, and also short glitches when replaying on any output
device.
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling subtitle color palettes on channels where subtitles appear
"word by word" (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed upscaling cBitmaps with anti-aliasing (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg for reporting
a problem with color palettes in subtitles).
- Fixed getting the video aspect ratio for scaling subtitles.
- Removed the "PrimaryLimit". Old "full featured" DVB cards can be run with the
--outputonly option to avoid problems with recording high bandwidth channels.
Besides, with HDTV becoming ever more popular those cards are pretty much obsolete
by now (the TT S2-6400 has no problems recording and replaying high bandwidth
channels simultaneously). And, last but not least, people using software players
won't notice this change, anyway.
- Since cReceivers can have priorities between -99 and 99, the priority
for an unused device has been changed from -1 to -100.
- 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. This way an external
EPG source can fill the schedules with EPG data that will not be messed up with
that from the DVB data stream. Note, though, that this means VDR can not do VPS
controlled recordings with such events!
- Added some typecasts to silence gcc compiler warnings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling overlapping timers in case a VPS timer with higher priority needs
to interrupt a timer with lower priority.
- The code for the RCU remote control unit has been moved into a separate plugin
named "rcu".
The REMOTE=RCU option in the 'make' call for VDR is now obsolete.
The command line option --rcu is now obsolete. Use -Prcu instead. If you have
used --rcu with a device path, use -P"rcu -d<device>".
- Added support for automatically selecting subtitles when playing old PES
recordings made with the subtitles plugin (thanks to Anssi Hannula).
- Revised priority handling to allow receivers with a priority that is lower than
that of live viewing (with suggestions from Frank Schmirler):
+ An idle device (one that is not used for live viewing and has no receiver
attached to it) now has priority IDLEPRIORITY (-100).
+ An unused CAM slot now has priority IDLEPRIORITY.
+ The default priority of a cReceiver is now MINPRIORITY (-99).
+ A device that is used only for live viewing (no matter whether it's in Transfer
Mode or real live mode) now has priority TRANSFERPRIORITY (-1).
+ The function cDevice::Receiving() now returns true if there is any receiver
attached to the device. Its boolean parameter has no meaning any more.
+ The default value for the Priority parameter of the function cDevice::ProvidesChannel()
has been changed to IDLEPRIORITY.
- Added a Query parameter to cDevice::GetDevice(), so that devices can be queried
without side effects when zapping.
- Replaced min(max()) calls with the new function constrain().
- Fixed handling OSD color button texts in case a menu item has texts of its own
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg). If a plugin creates derived cMenuEditItems that set
color button texts, these should not set the texts directly by calling
cSkinDisplay::Current()->SetButtons(), but rather call the new member function
cMenuEditItem::SetHelp().
- Moved the call to cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch(this, 0) to the beginning of
cDevice::SetChannel(), so that any receivers that have been attached to the
device by plugins may be detached before the final call to GetDevice().
This actually reverts "Only calling cStatus::MsgChannelSwitch() if a channel
is actually going to be switched or has actually been switched successfully"
which was made in version 1.1.10, so please report if this has any unwanted
side effects.

- 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.

- 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).

From the HISTORY file:
- Removed the '.pl' suffix from svdrpsend.pl (sorry, I missed that one).
- Fixed bonding more than two devices.
- Fixed handling symbolic links in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() (reported by
Sundararaj Reel).
- Fixed a memory leak in cRecordings::ScanVideoDir() in case there are too many
link levels (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- Removed redundant memset() in the ctor of cSatCableNumbers (triggered by
Ville Skyttä pointing out that the argument sequence in the call was wrong).
- Removed a redundant NULL check in cDvbSpuDecoder::setTime() (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Added HasSnr to the DEBUG_SIGNALQUALITY output in cDvbTuner::GetSignalQuality()
(triggered by Ville Skyttä pointing out that the variable HasSnr was unused).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added support for HbbTV to libsi (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Added support for devices with more than one delivery system per frontend.
This requires a DVB driver with version 5.5 or higher that can handle the
DTV_ENUM_DELSYS call. With older drivers it will fall back to one delivery
system per frontend.
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- cDvbTuner::ExecuteDiseqc() now makes sure only one tuner sends SCR commands
at any given time (reported by Frank Neumann).
- cEvent::FixEpgBugs() now replaces any newline characters in stream component
descriptions with blanks (thanks to Torsten Lang for reporting a problem with

- Fixed cConfig::Load() for g++ version 4.7.0 (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed a possible memory corruption in cTsToPes::GetPes() in case of broken
TS packets, e.g. when switching channels.
- Fixed the SVDRP command CLRE for a single channel in case there are events
that have a timer (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- BIDI support now checks at runtime whether the system runs with UTF-8 (suggested
by Torsten Lang).
- Added member functions Adapter() and Frontend() to cDvbDevice (suggested by
Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The parameters that are only used by "second generation" delivery systems (DVB-S2
and DVB-T2) are no longer written into channels.conf for "first generation"
delivery systems (DVB-S and DVB-T).
- Changed IndexToHMSF() so that it can handle negative Index values.
- Added option -N to the msgmerge call in the Makefile, because fuzzy translation
mostly resulted in useless strings.
- The new setup option "Replay/Show remaining time" can be used to switch between
showing the total length or the remaining time of the recording that is currently
replayed.
- Fixed wrongfully displaying the length of a recording in the title of the replay
progress display.
- Fixed frozen live view with device bonding in case the bonded master is used for
live viewing (reported by Uwe Scheffler).

From the HISTORY file:
- Fixed scaling subtitles in case the primary device's GetVideoSize() function doesn't
return actual values (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- The DiSEqC codes are now copied in the call to cDiseqc::Execute().
- VDR now supports "Satellite Channel Routing" (SCR) according to EN50494 (based on
the "unicable" patch from Lars Hanisch).
Since "Unicable" is a registered trademark and stands for only one of many
implementations of SCR, the following changes have been made compared to the patch,
which need to be taken into account by people who have set up their system using
the patch:
- The 'U' parameter in the diseqc.conf file has been changed to 'S' ("Scr").
- The configuration file name has been changed from "unicable.conf" to "scr.conf".
- Updated sources.conf (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- The SVDRP command LSTC now also accepts channel IDs (thanks to Dominic Evans).
- Fixed handling DVB subtitles and implemented decoding textual DVB subtitles (thanks
to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added cap_net_raw to the capabilities that are not dropped (thanks to Dominic Evans).
- Fixed setting the start time of an edited recording (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Temporarily switching free devices to transponders in order to have their running
status updated is now done by marking the devices as "occupied" for a certain
amount of time.
- The new setup options "LNB/Device n connected to sat cable" can be used to define
which DVB-S devices are connected to the same sat cable and are therefore "bonded".
This obsoletes the LNBSHARE patch. Users of the LNBSHARE patch will need to newly
set up their sat devices with the above options.
- Fixed a crash when deleting a recording while cutting it (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- The new SVDRP command UPDR can be used to trigger an update of the list of
recordings (thanks to Lars Hanisch).
- Added generating a pkg-config file to the Makefile (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Removed the '.pl' suffix from all scripts (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Changed the default location for the LIRC socket to /var/run/lirc/lircd (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Added file name and line number to LOG_ERROR_STR() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Replaced all calls to sleep() with cCondWait::SleepMs() (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).

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.
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:
- Added some missing 'const' to tChannelID (reported by Sundararaj Reel).
- The isnumber() function now checks the given pointer for NULL (thanks to Holger
Dengler).
- Now checking Setup.InitialChannel for NULL before using it (reported by
Christoph Haubrich).
- cSkins::Message() now blocks calls from background threads (thanks to Michael
Eiler for reporting a crash in such a scenario).
- Fixed the return value of the svdrpsend.pl script in case of an error (thanks to
Jonas Diemer).
- Increased MAXCAIDS to 12 (thanks to Jerome Lacarriere).
- Fixed handling DiSEqC codes (thanks to Mark Hawes for reporting the bug, and
Udo Richter for suggesting the fix).
- Added a mechanism to defer timer handling in case of problems (reported by
Frank Niederwipper).
- Fixed distortions that happened when splitting recording into several files
(was a side effect of "Fixed detecting frames in case the Picture Start Code or
Access Unit Delimiter extends over TS packet boundaries" in version 1.7.19).
cRecorder::Action() now buffers TS packets in case the frame type is
not yet known when a new payload starts. This adds no overhead for channels
that broadcast the frame type within the first TS packet of a payload; it only
kicks in if that information is not in the first TS packet.
- Fixed handling the channelID in cMenuEditChanItem (thanks to Udo Richter).
- cStringList::Sort() can now be called with a boolean parameter that controls
case insensitive sorting (suggested by Sundararaj Reel).
- Now scanning new transponders before old ones, to make sure transponder changes
are recognized (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Implemented static cIndexFile::IndexFileName().
- The length (as number of frames) of a recording's index file can now be determined
by a call to cIndexFile::GetLength() (suggested by Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed some crashes in subtitle display (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Made DELETENULL() thread safe (reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The pic2mpg script of the 'pictures' plugin now generates HD images (thanks to
Andre Weidemann for his support in using convert/ffmpeg). The old SD version is
still available as pic2mpg-sd.
- Added a mutex to protect cOsd::Osds from simultaneous access from different threads
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The cutter now sets the 'broken link' flag for MPEG2 TS recordings (thanks to
Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed language code entry for Portuguese.
- The new command line options --filesize (suggested by Marco Göbenich) and --split
can be used together with --edit to set the maximum video file size and turn on
splitting edited files at the editing marks. These options must be given before
--edit to have an effect.
- cTimeMs is no longer initialized to the current time if the value given to the
constructor is negative (avoids the "cTimeMs: using monotonic clock..." log message
before VDR's starting log message).

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.
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).
|
|
- 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.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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:

- 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.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Fixed wrong bracketing in cChannel::SubtitlingType() etc.
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed not logging changes for channels that have no number
(reported by Timothy D. Lenz).
- Changed the project's URLs and email to tvdr.de.
- Added Lithuanian language translations (thanks to Valdemaras Pipiras).
- Updated Chinese language texts (thanks to Nan Feng).
- Only checking DVB_API_VERSION to be >=5 in order to stay compileable in case
the DVB API version number is increased (the API claims to always be backward
compatible).
- Fixed saving terminal settings when running in background (thanks to Manuel
Reimer).
- Fixed cFrameDetector::Analyze() to handle video streams where the frame type
is not detectable from the first TS packet of a frame.
- Fixed writing the PCR pid into the PMT in cPatPmtGenerator::GeneratePmt()
(reported by Rene van den Braken).
- Added Slovakian language texts (thanks to Milan Hrala).
- Fixed EntriesOnSameFileSystem() to avoid using f_fsid, which may be 0 (thanks
to Frank Schmirler).
- Fixed starting a recording at an I-frame.
- Fixed generating the index for recordings from channels that put a whole
GOP into one payload unit.
- The index file for TS recordings is now regenerated on-the-fly if a
recording is replayed that has no index. This can also be used to
re-create a broken index file by manually deleting the index file and then
replaying the recording (at least until the index file has been generated).
- The cRingBufferLinear::Read() function now returns -1 and sets errno to
EAGAIN if the buffer is already full.
- Fixed handling DVB subtitles for PES recordings (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Added the audio id to the call of PlayAudio() in cDevice::PlayTsAudio()
(thanks to Andreas Schaefers).
- Fixed references to old *.vdr file names in MANUAL (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
- Reverted "Removed limitation to PAL resolution from SPU handling" because it
cause nothing but trouble. Besides, the core VDR doesn't use this, anyway.
- Fixed the default value for "Pause key handling" in the MANUAL (reported by
Diego Pierotto).
|
|
- Re-implemented handling of DVB-S2, which first appeared in version 1.5.14, but was
revoked in version 1.5.15 in favor of making a stable version 1.6.0. VDR now
requires the "multiproto" DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto.
Note that the channels.conf file now supports additional parameters, so you may
want to make sure you have a backup of this file in case you need to go back to
the previous version of VDR!
- Fixed displaying transponder data when it is modified (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed handling the counter in detection of pre 1.3.19 PS data (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Improved logging system time changes to avoid problems on slow systems under
heavy load (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Now setting the thread name, so that it can be seen in 'top -H' (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Fixed initializing the timer's flags in the cTimer copy constructor (thanks to
Andreas Mair).
- Fixed setting the OSD level in the 'osddemo' example (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald).
- Increased the time between checking the CAM status to 500ms to avoid problems
with some CAMs (reported by Arthur Konovalov).
|
|
- Added a missing reset of maxNumber in cChannels::Renumber() (reported by Sundararaj
Reel).
- Revoked the fixed change of the default character set for SI data and introduced
an environment variable to control it (thanks to Ales Jurik for reporting broken
SI data on the Czech/Slovak channels, which actually do follow the standard).
Users who want to set the default character set to something different can do this
by setting the environment variable VDR_CHARSET_OVERRIDE to something like
ISO-8859-9.
- Fixed a signed character used as index in cBase64Encoder::NextLine() (thanks
to Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Spanish and Catalanian OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti).
- Fixed automatically selecting the preferred subtitle language (based on a patch
from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Ukrainian OSD texts (thanks to Yarema Aka Knedlyk).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Michael Rakowski).
- Fixed formatting the name section in the VDR man pages (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Magnus Andersson).
- Added Russian translations to the 'skincurses' and 'pictures' plugins (thanks
to Alexander Gross).
- Fixed displaying the free disk space when entering the recordings menu where the
last replayed recording was in a subdirectory, and pressing Back (thanks to Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Fixed tuning to a live channel after a recording has been stopped using the
'Back' key.
- Resetting a timer's 'pending' flag when it has ended.
|
|
- Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Berglund).
- Made the 'pic2mpg' script of the 'pictures' plugin work with uppercase filename
extensions and relative paths (thanks to Stefan Wagner for reporting this one).
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Johan Schuring).
- Stripping control codes 0x86 and 0x87 from SI strings.
- Updated French language texts (thanks to Jean-Claude Repetto).
- Fixed handling 3 and 4 byte UTF-8 symbols in Utf8CharGet() (thanks to Andreas
Mair).
- Fixed a crash in cFreetypeFont::DrawText() if an unknown symbol is encountered
(thanks to Tobias Grimm). Unknown symbols are replaced with a '?'.
- Updated the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Vladimír Bárta and Jiri Dobry).
- Updated the Turkish OSD texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen).
- The 'plugins' target in the Makefile now returns an error exit code if one of the
plugins failed to compile (suggested by Tobias Grimm).
- Rendering the non-breaking space symbol as a blank (thanks to Tobias Grimm).
- Changed the default character set for SI data from ISO6937 (as required by the DVB
standard ETSI EN 300 468) to ISO-8859-9, in order to work around the stupidity of
some providers, who actually use ISO-8859-9, but fail to correctly announce that.
|
|
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Added option -i to the pictures plugin's pic2mpg to ignore unknown file types.
- Revoked the switch to the "multiproto" driver in order to make a new stable
version before making this big switch and forcing all users to install a
driver that is not yet in the kernel source. The removed code will reappear
in version 1.7.0.
Note that you may need to switch back to an older version of your channels.conf
file if you have already used version 1.5.14, because it introduced new parameters.
- Added the new command line option --userdump to enable core dumps in case VDR
is run as root with option -u (thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse).
- Speeded up anti-aliased font rendering by caching the blend indexes (based on
a suggestion by Martin Wache).
- Fixed setting the OSD area in the pictures plugin.
- Ignoring "repeat" and "release" keys in the time search entry mode during replay,
to avoid inadvertently leaving it in case a key is pressed too long (suggested
by Andreas Brugger).
- Improved sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward
trick speeds, including subtitles (thanks to Timo Eskola).
- The section handler is now stopped before the device is destroyed, to avoid
accessing file handles after they have become invalid (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl for reporting an invalid access when ending VDR, and to Deti Fliegl for
a patch that was used to implement StopSectionHandler()).
- Fixed setting the date in the channel display of the classic and sttng skins,
to avoid unnecessary OSD access (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The free disk space is now also displayed in the title of the "Recordings"
menu (suggested by Walter Koch).
- Changed the message "Upcoming VPS recording!" to "Upcoming recording!" because
it applies to non-VPS recordings as well.
- Fixed a loss of a timer's 'recording' flag after modifying it via MODT.
- Fixed detecting directories in cFileNameList::Load().
- Running the thread that removes deleted recordings at a low priority to (maybe)
avoid stuttering replay in case the thread is run during replay.
- Limiting the length of the recording name in timers in case VDR is run with
--vfat, in order to avoid names that are too long for Windows (suggested by Rolf
Ahrenberg).
- Using cString::sprintf() instead of asprintf() (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald
for pointing out a possible problem if the return value is not checked).
Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. For convenience there is now
an additional version of cString::sprintf() that accepts a va_list parameter.
- When deleting the recording that is currently replayed, the replay is now
stopped immediately (thanks to Mikko Matilainen for reporting a possible crash
if the Info key is pressed after deleting the currently replayed recording).
- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- When determining the amount of free disk space, any deleted (but not yet removed)
recordings on different file systems (that are mounted under the video directory)
are no longer taken into account.
- When running out of disk space during a recording, only such deleted or old
recordings are removed, that actually are on the video directory file system(s).
This prevents VDR from accidentally deleting recordings on other file systems,
which would not add any free space to the video directory.
- Implemented the cStatus, cDevice and cPlayer functions for setting subtitle tracks
in plugins (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Added cStatus::TimerChange() to inform plugins about changes to the list of timers
(based on a patch from Benedikt Elser).
- Added new cStatus functions to the 'status' plugin.
- Added missing #include <limits.h> to epg.c and menuitems.h (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- The new function cSkin::SetScrollbar() can be implemented by skins to display
a scrollbar in every list menu. The 'classic' and 'sttng' skins have been
changed accordingly, as well as the 'skincurses' plugin.
- Introduced 'operator const void * ()' in cString to catch cases where operator*()
should be used.
- Fixed calculating the scrollbar sizes in the skins.
|
|
- Fixed the Play function in the pictures plugin.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Updated the Makefile of the skincurses plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The new option --localedir can be used to set the locale directory at runtime
(based on a patch from Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed finding new transponders (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- Implemented handling of DVB-S2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler and Reinhard Nissl
for a patch that was used to implement this). VDR now requires the "multiproto"
DVB driver, e.g. from http://jusst.de/hg/multiproto.
- Removed switching to the next higher or lower channel if the current channel
is not available, in order to allow staying on an encrypted channel that takes
a while for the CAM to start decrypting.
|
|
- Fixed the declaration of cSubtitleObject::Decode8BppCodeString() (thanks to
Gregoire Favre).
- The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Emergency exit" can be used to turn off
the automatic restart of VDR in case a recording fails for some reason.
- The kInfo key is now propagated to any open menu, so that it can react to it
in a context sensitive manner (suggested by Andreas Brugger). If there is
no menu open it will show the info of the current broadcast or replay.
- cTimeMs now uses the monotonic clock, if available (thanks to Petri Hintukainen).
- Fixed cVector::Clear() and cStringList::Clear().
- Added cString::Truncate().
- Fixed the "i18n:" target in the "newplugin" script, so that it can create the
initial *.pot file.
- Fixed handling the '-l' option.
- Fixed error handling in cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Fixed a loss of the date display in the "classic" skin's main menu (reported by
Andreas Brugger).
- Added a missing setting of lastFreeMB in cMenuMain::Update() (reported by
Andreas Brugger).
- Added '-Wno-parentheses' to the compiler options in order to avoid silly compiler
warnings for expressions like 'a || b && c', where GCC 4.3 wants to force the
programmer to write 'a || (b && c)', while everybody knows that '&&' links
stronger than '||' (reported by Tobias Grimm).
- Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley).
- Fixed displaying weekday names in the Schedule menu if the system uses UTF-8
(reported by Jiri Dobry).
- The new plugin "pictures" implements a simple picture viewer.
See PLUGINS/src/pictures/README for details.
- The automatic shutdown is now suppressed if the remote control is currently
disabled (suggested by Helmut Auer, implemented by Udo Richter).
- Added a section about "Logging" to PLUGINS.html (suggested by Torsten Kunkel).
- Enhanced the SVDRP command CLRE to allow clearing the EPG data of a particular
channel (thanks to Benjamin Hess).
