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.
The main focus of this version is on an improved frame detection code,
and improvements to the cutting process. When cutting a recording, VDR
now removes any "dangling" TS packets from the beginning of an editing
sequence and pulls in any "pending" TS packets at the end of a sequence.
It also fixes all timestamps and continuity counters.
However, while the results look much better now in, for instance, Kaffeine,
the TT S2-6400 still shows some video artifacts at the editing points, and
the Mac video player sometimes totally chokes on edited material.
I did spend a lot of time trying to find out what could still be wrong here,
but couldn't come up with any new ideas. So I think it's now time to invite
others to test this new cutting code, read the source code and try to find
out what's still going wrong here. Maybe (hopefully ;-) it's just some stupid
little error... ;-)
From the HISTORY file:
- Pressing the Play key during normal live viewing mode now opens the Recordings menu
if there is no "last viewed" recording (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
The same behavior has been implemented for the Blue key in the main menu.
- cIoThrottle::Engaged() is now also checked in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread::Action(),
to suspend removing deleted recordings in case this is necessary to make room for
new, ongoing recordings (suggested by Udo Richter).
- The cThread constructor now has an additional boolean parameter that can be set to
true to have this thread run at a lower priority. Plugin authors that use low
priority threads may want to use this instead of the calls to SetPriority(19) and
SetIOPriority(7). The priority of a thread ("low" or "high") is now logged when the
thread starts.
- Changed DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID to DTV_STREAM_ID in dvbdevice.c to adapt to an incompatible
change in DVB API 5.8 (reported by Derek Kelly).
Removed the meanwhile obsolete definition of FE_CAN_TURBO_FEC.
- Fixed some compiler warnings under gcc version 4.7.1.
- Fixed setting the video format in the dvbhdffdevice (thanks to Torsten Lang).
- Fixed 'make install' to not overwrite existing configuration files (thanks to Peter
Münster).
- Added including the Make.global and Make.config files to the dvbdhffdevice's
libhdffcmd/Makefile.
- Added options to build a 32-bit version of VDR on a 64-bit machine to
Make.config.template.
- Fixed handling VPS timers in case the running status of an event goes to '1' (not
running) and later goes to '4' (running).
- If a frame position in the 'marks' file of a recording doesn't point to an I-frame,
it will now be shifted towards the next I-frame, either up or down, whichever is
closer (suggested by Udo Richter).
- Fixed a possible memory leak in SI::StructureLoop::getNextAsPointer() (reported by
Sundararaj Reel).
- Fixed handling timers in case an event is modified and "phased out" while the timer
is recording.
- Improved frame detection by parsing just far enough into the MPEG-4 NAL units to get
the necessary information about frames and slices.
- The initial syncing of the frame detector is now done immediately after the first
complete GOP has been seen. This makes recordings and especially pausing live video
start up to twice as fast as before.
- Updated the Romanian OSD texts (thanks to Lucian Muresan).
- Fixed handling the very last entry in a recording index.
- The return type of cMarks::Add() has been changed to void, since due to the sorting
of the list of marks the returned pointer might have pointed to a totally different
mark. Besides, the return value was never actually used.
- Improved editing TS recordings by
+ stripping dangling TS packets from the beginning of a sequence
+ including pending TS packets at the end of a sequence
+ fixing all timestamps and continuity counters
+ generating editing marks for the edited version in such a way that each cutting
point is marked by an "end" and "begin" mark with the same offset
+ no longer generating an editing mark at the "end" of the edited recording (this
was actually generated at the beginning of the last GOP, so that a subsequent
edit would have cut off the last GOP)
+ no longer generating any editing marks if the edited recording results on just
one single sequence
+ ignoring pairs of editing marks that are placed at exactly the same position of
a recording when actually cutting the recording
+ not doing anything if the editing marks in place would result in the edited
version being the same as the original recording
- Editing marks can now be placed directly on top of each other, in which case they
simply mark a position, but have no effect on the actual cutting process.
- When positioned at an offset where two (or more) editing marks are placed on top
of each other, the '4' key moves the first one of them to the left, while the '6'
key moves the last one of them to the right. The '7' and '9' key handle multiple
marks at the same place as if it were one single mark.
- Modified editing marks are now written to disk whenever the replay progress display
gets hidden (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).

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.
The 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
ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches
to the LinuxDVB driver source.
The changes since version 1.7.30:
- If regenerating an index file fails and no data is written to the file, VDR now
reports this error and removes the empty index file.
- The setup parameter "Recording/Instant rec. time (min)" can now be set to '0',
which means to record only the currently running event (based on a patch from Matti
Lehtimäki).
- Decreased the ring buffer put/get trigger sizes from 1/3 to 1/10.
- The script given to VDR with the '-r' option is now also called whenever a
recording is deleted (thanks to Alexander Wenzel).
- Improved detecting frames in MPEG 4 video (reported by Andrey Pridvorov).
- cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() now also recognizes stream type 0x81 as "AC3", so that
recordings that have been converted from the old PES format to TS can be played
(suggested by Jens Vogel).
- Fixed a leftover frame counter in the LCARS skin's replay display after jumping to
an editing mark and resuming replay.
- The new class cIoThrottle is used to allow I/O intense threads to temporarily
suspend their activities in case buffers run full (suggested by Torsten Lang).
Currently the cutter thread is suspended if the TS or Recorder buffer use more
than 50% of their capacity. Plugin authors may want to participate in this
mechanism if they use intense background I/O.
- Increased the size of the TS buffer to 5MB and that of the Recorder buffer to
20MB to better handle HD recordings (suggested by Torsten Lang).
- Moved cleaning up the EPG data and writing the epg.data file into a separate
thread to avoid sluggish response to user input on slow systems (based on a patch from
Sören Moch).
- Fixed sorting folders before recordings in case of UTF-8 (thanks to Sören Moch).
- Reactivated stripping control characters from EPG texts and adapted it to UTF-8.
- Added missing decrementing of 'len' in libsi/si.c's String::decodeText() functions.
- When checking whether a video directory is empty, file names that start with a
dot ('.') are no longer automatically ignored and implicitly removed if the directory
contains no other files. Instead, RemoveEmptyDirectories() now has an additional
parameter that can be given a list of files that shall be ignored when considering
whether a directory is empty. This allows users to continue to use files such as
".keep" to prevent a directory from being deleted when it is empty. Currently the
only file name that is ignored is ".sort".

From the HISTORY file:
- Added a missing template specification to the c'tor of cSortedTimers (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- Fixed the background color of the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS skin.
- The LCARS skin now only displays devices that can actually receive channels, leaving
out, for instance, pure replay devices (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Now scaling down the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS skin in case it
doesn't fit with the selected font size (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed making LCARS the default skin.
- Adjusted the default values for OSD and font sizes to better fit HDTV.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed the call to ChannelString() in cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel::SetChannel() (thanks
to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed DeleteEvent() from the EPG handler interface (turned out not to be useful)
and replaced it with HandledExternally() (thanks to Jörg Wendel).
- Added SetComponents() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Dirk Heiser).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Changed the button colors in the LCARS skin to better fit with the rest of the theme.
- Removed the gap from the main menu buttons in the LCARS skin.
- Fixed some copy&paste errors in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- The LCARS skin's main menu now only displays timers that are actually activated.
- Within the "Recordings" menu, pressing the '0' key now toggles sorting between
"by time" and "by name". The selected sort mode is stored separately for each
folder (provided you have write access to that folder).
If a folder is newly created by a repeating timer, the sort mode for that
folder is initially set to "by time".
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling recording with more than two bonded devices.
- Fixed the type of MBperMinute in cVideoDiskUsage::HasChanged() (thanks to Andreas
Mair).
- Setting the "broken link" or "TEI" flags when cutting recordings is now suppressed
if the editing point merges two seamlessly fitting parts of the same stream (thanks
to Torsten Lang).
- Fixed displaying messages in the LCARS skin.
- Fixed checking for a visible live programme in case a menu or the channel display
is currently open.
- Changed some of the colors in the LCARS skin (you may need to delete the file
lcars-default.theme from your themes directory to see these changes).
- The new setup option "Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source" can be used to
turn on adding the source character to channel names whenever they are displayed
(suggested by Ludi Kaleni).

(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).

- 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).

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).
- Fixed a crash with malformed SI data (patch from vdr-portal).

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:
- 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.

- 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).
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- cDevice::PlayTs() now syncs on the TS packet sync bytes.
- Made MAXFRAMESIZE a multiple of TS_SIZE to avoid breaking up TS packets.
- No longer resetting the patPmtParser in cDevice::PlayTs(), because this
caused the selected audio and subtitle tracks to fall back to the default.
- The SVDRP command PUTE now supports reading the EPG data from a given file
(thanks to Helmut Auer).
- Added cThread::SetIOPriority() and using it in cRemoveDeletedRecordingsThread
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed the MEGABYTE() macro to make it correctly handle parameters resulting in
values larger than 2GB.
- Added cDevice::NumProvidedSystems() to PLUGINS.html (was missing since it had
been implemented).
- Fixed distortions when switching to the next file during replay.
- Fixed detecting the frame rate for streams with PTS distances of 1800, which
apparently split one frame over two payload units.
- Added missing 'const' to cRecording::FramesPerSecond() (thanks to Joachim Wilke).
- Any TS packets in the first "frame" after a cut in an edited recording that don't
belong to a payload unit that started in that frame now get their TEI flag set,
so that a decoder will ignore them together with any PES data collected for that
PID so far (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting chirping sound disturbences at
editing points in TS recordings).
- cDvbPlayer::Empty() subtracts 1 from readIndex, because Action() will first
increment it.
- Only storing non-zero Pts values in ptsIndex.
- Added a note to the INSTALL file about using subdirectories to split a large
disk into separate areas for VDR's video data and other stuff (suggested by
Udo Richter).
|
|
- Removed the '#define FE_CAN_2ND_GEN_MODULATION', since it was wrong and the
flag is now in the driver, anyway.
- The full-featured DVB cards are now given the TS data directly for replay
(thanks to Oliver Endriss for enhancing the av7110 driver to make it replay
TS data). The patch from ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/av7110_ts_replay__1.diff
implements this change in the driver.
The patch av7110_v4ldvb_api5_audiobuf_test_1.diff mentioned in version 1.7.2
is still necessary to avoid audio and video glitches on some channels.
- Added a typecast in cUnbufferedFile::Write() to avoid an error message when
compiling on 64 bit systems.
- Added some missing 'const' statements to cBitmap (thanks to Andreas Regel).
- Fixed returning complete PES packets in cTsToPes::GetPes() (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl).
- Added a missing Detach() in cTransfer::Activate() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added clearing the TS buffers in cDevice::Detach() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed incrementing the continuity counter in cPatPmtGenerator::GetPmt() (thanks
to Johann Friedrichs).
- Fixed removing deleted recordings in case there is a problem. Once a recording
caused a problem with removing, no others were removed any more and an ongoing
recording could fill up the disk and cause other recordings to be deleted
automatically (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Added "DEFINES += -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE"
to Make.config.template (thanks to Johann Friedrichs for pointing this out).
Plugin authors should add this line to their Makefile or Make.config if they use
file access functions that need special versions for 64 bit offsets.
- The new command line option -i can be used to set an "instance id", which will
be used to distinguish recordings of the same broadcast made by different instances
of VDR (suggested by Frank Schmirler). This replaces the use of the "resume id"
that was introduced in version 1.7.3.
- Added checking mutexCurrentAudioTrack to cDevice::PlayTs() (thanks to Reinhard
Nissl for pointing this out).
- Fixed handling the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (thanks to Frank
Schmirler - sorry I swapped two lines when adopting the original patch).
- Checking the remaining packet length after processing the pointer field in
cPatPmtParser::ParsePat() and cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() (suggested by Frank
Schmirler).
- Checking the pointer field in cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() only in 'payload start'
packets (suggested by Frank Schmirler).
- Changed cPatPmtGenerator to make sure the PMT pid doesn't collide with any of
the actual pids of the channel.
- Fixed cDevice::PlayTsAudio() and made cDevice::PlayTsVideo() return 0 if
PlayVideo() didn't play anything.
- Added an 'int' typecast to calculations involving FramesPerSecond() to avoid
compiler warnings (reported by Winfried Koehler).
- Fixed detecting frames for pure audio recordings.
- Fixed editing PES recordings. The frame type in the index.vdr file generated for
the edited PES recording is set to 1 for I-frames and 2 for all others (P- and
B-frames). The exact frame type doesn't matter for VDR, it only needs to know if
it's an I-frame or not.
- The PAT/PMT is now only processed if its version changes (reported by Reinhard
Nissl).
- Fixed handling the maximum video file size (reported by Udo Richter).
- Improved fast-forward/-rewind for audio recordings. The actual data is now sent
to the output device, so that it can be replayed and thus cause the proper delay.
For pure audio recordings the audio is no longer muted in fast-forward/-rewind
mode, so that some orientation regarding the position within the recording is
possible. There may still be some offset in the replay position displayed by the
progress indicator when switching from fast-forward/-rewind to play mode, as well
as in the current position during normal play mode. This is due to the various
buffers between the player and the output device and will be addressed later.
Note the new function cDevice::IsPlayingVideo(), which is used to inform the
player whether there is video data in the currently replayed stream. If a derived
cDevice class reimplements PlayTs() or PlayPes(), it also needs to make sure this
new function works as expected.

- Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd).
- Fixed handling the 'pointer field' in generating and parsing PAT/PMT (thanks to
Frank Schmirler).
- Fixed handling modulation types for DVB-S transponders when processing the NIT.
- Changed cDvbDevice::GrabImage() to use V4L2 (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added a poll to cDvbDevice::PlayVideo() and cDvbDevice::PlayAudio() to avoid
excessive CPU load (this is just a makeshift solution until the FF DVB cards
can play TS directly).
- The recording format is now Transport Stream. Existing recordings in PES format
can still be replayed and edited, but new recordings are done in TS.
All code for recording in PES has been removed.
The following changes were made to switch to TS recording format:
+ The index file format has been changed to support file sizes of up to 1TB
(previously 2GB), and up to 65535 separate files per recording (previously
255).
+ The recording file names are now of the form 00001.ts (previously 001.vdr).
+ The frame rate is now detected by looking at two subsequent PTS values.
The "frame duration" (in multiples of 1/90000) is stored in the info.vdr
file using the new tag F (thanks to Artur Skawina for helping to get the
IndexToHMSF() calculation right).
+ Several functions now have an additional parameter FramesPerSecond.
+ Several functions now have an additional parameter IsPesRecording.
+ The functionality of cFileWriter was moved into cRecorder, and cRemux is
now obsolete. This also avoids one level of data copying while recording.
+ cRemux, cRingBufferLinearPes, cTS2PES and all c*Repacker classes have been
removed.
+ A PAT/PMT is inserted before every independent frame, so that no extra
measures need to be taken when editing a recording.
+ The directory name for a recording has been changed from
YYYY-MM-DD-hh[.:]mm.pr.lt.rec (pr=priority, lt=lifetime) to
YYYY-MM-DD-hh.mm.ch-ri.rec (ch=channel, ri=resumeId).
Priority and Lifetime are now stored in the info.vdr file with the new
tags P and L (if no such file exists, the maximum values are assumed by
default, which avoids inadvertently deleting a recording if disk space
is low). No longer storing Priority and Lifetime in the directory name
avoids starting a new recording if one of these is changed in the timer
and the recording is re-started for some reason.
Instead of Priority and Lifetime, the directory name now contains the
channel number from which the recording was made, and the "resume id" of
this instance of VDR. This avoids problems if several VDR instances record
the same show on different channels, or even on the same channel.
The '-' between channel number and resumeId prevents older versions of
VDR from "seeing" these recordings, which makes sure they won't even try
to replay them, or remove them in case the disk runs full.
+ The semantics of PlayTs*() have been changed. These functions are now
required to return the given Length (which is TS_SIZE) if they have
processed the TS packet.
+ The files "index", "info", "marks" and "resume" within a TS recording
directory are now created without the ".vdr" extension.
+ The "resume" file is no longer a binary file, but contains tagged lines
to be able to store additional information, like the selected audio or
subtitle track.
+ cDevice::StillPicture() will now be called with either TS or PES data.
+ cDvbPlayer::Goto() no longer appends a "sequence end code" to the data.
If the output device needs this, it has to take care of it by itself.
- Fixed cPatPmtParser::ParsePmt() to reset vpid and vtype when switching from
a video to an audio channel (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- cDvbDevice now uses the FE_CAN_2G_MODULATION flag to determine whether a device
can handle DVB-S2. The #define is still there to allow people with older drivers
who don't need DVB-S2 to use this version without pathcing.
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- 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).
|
|
- Fixed handling locale directories with a large number of entries (thanks to
Anssi Hannula).
- Updated Turkish language texts (thanks to Oktay Yolgeçen).
- Fixed stripping the context in I18nTranslate() (reported by Christian
Wieninger).
- Fixed detecting whether a particular locale is actually supported.
- Added a note about LANG having to be set to a valid locale in INSTALL
(suggested by Matthias Fechner).
- Fixed some compiler warnings with gcc-4.2.0 (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott).
- Fixed setting the locale file name in i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias
Schwarzott).
- Changed the default for LOCDIR in Makefile and Make.config.template to
"./locale", so that internationalization works by default when running VDR
from within its source directory (suggested by Anssi Hannula).
- Added the new i18n macro trVDR(), which can be used by plugins to mark
texts they want to reuse from VDR's core translations (suggested by Matthias
Becker).
- VDR now uses the default configuration directory as defined in the CONFDIR
varable in the Makefile (thanks to Thomas Schmidt).
- The SVDRP command LSTC can now list the channels with group separators if the
option ':groups' is given (thanks to Andreas Mair).
- Added a missing error report to cCuttingThread::Action() (thanks to Udo
Richter).
- There can now be more than one OSD at the same time. At any given time,
however, only one of them can be active (and thus visible). This is to
allow displaying things like subtitles in an easy way. A cOsd therefore
now has a "Level", and only the OSD with the smallest level will be
displayed. The level 0 OSD is special, and there can only be one with
this level. If there is more than one OSD with a particular level, only
the one that was created first will be displayed.
Plugins that provide an OSD need to adjust their cOsdProvider::CreateOsd()
function to hand through the Level.
- Fixed checking for ttDolbyLast in cDevice::SetCurrentAudioTrack() (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
|
|
- Fixed assigning schedules to channels in case there is no initial EPG information
(thanks to Frank Schmirler).
- Increased the APIVERSION to allow plugins that relied on the cStatus::MsgSetVolume()
bug to react properly (suggested by Stefan Huelswitt).
- Fixed cDevice::ToggleMute() (thanks to Christoph Haubrich).
- Fixed deleting the last character of a string menu item in insert mode (thanks
to Udo Richter).
- The /video/.update file is now touched _after_ an editing process is finished
in order to avoid excessive disk access (thanks to Artur Skawina).
- Fixed handling the running status of EPG events before the currently running one,
in case they are added after the current event (cont'd from version 1.4.1-2).
- Modified the shutdown mechanism, so that the shutdown script is never given a
time in the past (reported by Helmut Auer). If a timer is currently recording,
or a recording would start within the next 30 minutes (default for the "Min.
event timeout" setup parameter), and the user insists in shutting down now, the
reboot time given to the shutdown script will correspond to a time that is
"Min. event timeout" minutes (default is 30) in the future.
- Avoiding shutdown message "Recording in ... minutes, shut down anyway?" with
a negative number of minutes (reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed getting the next active timer when shutting down (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Modified the cSVDRP::Close() function to avoid code duplication.
|
|
- Removed an unnecessary toFile->SetReadAhead() from cutter.c (thanks to Artur
Skawina).
- The "Back" key now restores the original string when pressed while editing a
string item (suggested by Markus Hahn).
- Now stopping scanning the video directory if there are too many levels of
symbolic links, which might indicate a recursive link loop (based on a patch
from Helmut Auer).
- Improved OSD area handling in cDvbSpuDecoder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Now logging the description (if present) in case a thread is canceled (suggested
by Marco Schlüßler).
- cMenuText now uses the given font (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The ST:TNG skin now uses the fixed font if requested when displaying texts.
- Fixed some typos in the CONTRIBUTORS file (thanks to Frank Krömmelbein).
- Changed offset and size handling in 'libsi' from 'unsigned' to 'signed', so that
overflows can be better detected (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Checking data size in CaDescriptor::Parse() and LinkageDescriptor::Parse() of
'libsi' to avoid crashes with invalid data (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Made CharArray::DataOwnData::assign() in 'libsi' more robust against invalid
data (suggested by Oliver Endriss). Also changed CharArray::DataOwnData::Delete()
so that it sets 'size' and 'data' to 0.
- Now resetting the channel number if the number entered through the numeric keys
exceeds the maximum channel number (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- The language code in the 'X' component records of EPG data can now consist of
two codes, separated by '+'.
- If a recording starts and there is no EPG data available for the recorded channel,
the 'X' audio component records for the 'info.vdr' file are now generated from the
channel's PID data.
- Externally provided EPG data (with table ID 0x00) now gets its component
descriptors set from the broadcast data, so that language codes and descriptions
are available (suggested by Andreas Brugger).
- When setting the audio track descriptions, the language codes are now also set
in case this is a replay session (based on a patch from Rolf Ahrenberg).
- If a recording starts and the channel's audio PID data has more language code
information than the EPG's component data, the code from the channel is taken.
- Fixed handling DPID when deciding whether to switch to 'Transfer Mode' (thanks
to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed replaying recordings of radio channels with many audio tracks (thanks to
Reinhard Nissl).
- Added a comment to tChannelID::nid, explaining that is is actually the "original"
network id.
|
|
- Removed leftover 'needsBufferReserve' variable from cTransfer (thanks to Marco
Schlüßler).
- Fixed setting "No title" for broken event data (reported by Ronny Kornexl).
- Fixed channel up/down switching on single card systems (reported by Stefan
Huelswitt).
- Fixed handling "pending" timers that blocked others that actually could record
(reported by Thomas Koch).
- Speeded up cVideoRepacker (thanks to Reinhard Nissl).
- Added an 'Id' parameter to cDevice::PlayAudio() to allow plugins to easier
process the audio data (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Added Czech language texts (thanks to VladimÃr Bárta).
Plugin authors may want to add the new entries to their I18N texts and contact
the translators to have their texts translated. Note that there are now 21
different OSD languages, so please make sure you have 21 versions for each of
your texts.
- Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Jaroslaw Swierczynski).
- Fixed auto advance in string entry fields when pressing Up/Down in insert mode
(reported by Udo Richter).
- Fixed handling the "Setup/OSD/Menu button closes" option when set to 'yes' in
case a replay is active (thanks to Udo Richter).
- Improved cUnbufferedFile; USE_FADVISE is now defined in tools.c by default, so
if you don't want to use "fadvise" you need to comment out that line (thanks to
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- cDevice::Transferring() can now be used to determine whether the (primary)
device is currently playing in Transfer Mode (based on a suggestion by
Reinhard Nissl).
- The 'runvdr' script no longer uses the $VDRUSR environment variable to set
the user id under which 'vdr' shall run. Just add the '-u username' option
when you call 'runvdr'.
- Fixed multiple entries of the same subdirectory in the "Recordings" menu
(reported by Christian Jacobsen).
- Enabled generating a core dump if VDR is run with a different user id (thanks
to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling the "Blue" key in the "Schedule" menu for the current channel
(thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Renamed the Makefile target 'plugins-clean' to 'clean-plugins' (suggested by
Sebastian Frei).
- Made all font and image data 'const' (thanks to Darren Salt).
- Fixed scrolling with Up/Down in case there are non-selectable items at the
beginning or end of the menu (reported by Helmut Auer).
- Added cSkin::GetTextAreaWidth() and cSkin::GetTextAreaFont(), so that a plugin
that wants to do special text formatting can do so (thanks to Alexander Rieger).

|
- EPG events from epg.data or SVDRP's PUTE command now have their Title set to
"No Title" if none was set.
- Fixed checking toFile in cCuttingThread::Action() (found in a larger patch from
Artur Skawina).
- Fixed a crash when pressing '0' in the "Schedule" menu on a channel that doesn't
have any EPG data (reported ny Alexander Hans).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Fixed a missing ',' in the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Fixed handling the tfRecording flag when reading timers (bug reported by Andreas
Mair).
- Now checking whether the channel exists before setting the PMT filter in
cPatFilter::Process() (thanks to Thomas Bergwinkl).
- Now trying to reestablish the connection to the LIRC daemon in case it breaks
(thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed channel switching with the Down (Up) key in case the current channel is
already the first (last) in the list (reported by Frank Krömmelbein).
- Removed the "buffer reserve" in Transfer Mode - it's no longer necessary with
recent driver/firmware versions.
- The epg.data file is now written when VDR exits (suggested by Daniel Karsubka).
- Fixed cTimers::GetNextActiveTimer() so that it won't return an expired timer
(reported by Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Changed DVBS_TUNE_TIMEOUT and DVBC_TUNE_TIMEOUT to 9000ms to avoid problems with
channels that have low symbol rates (reported by Suur Karu).
- Fixed displaying the current audio track in the channel display.
- When reading epg.data (or data from PUTE), the version number of events with
table IDs smaller than 0x50 is now ignored because otherwise the current
running status would not be set after a restart of VDR.
- Implemented a timeout for remote controls that don't deliver "repeat" keypresses
very fast (based on a suggestion by Luca Olivetti; problem with the new handling
of k_Repeat keypresses in channel switching reported by Udo Richter).
- When looking for the present or following EPG event, the running status is now
always taken into account.
- Now initializing the channels' schedule pointers when reading the epg.data file,
so that the first WhatsOn menu will come up faster.
- If a shutdown is requested, but the shutdown script doesn't actually halt the
system, it is now tried again after 5 minutes (suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Separated the 'install' target into several individual targets; renamed the
'plugins-install' target to 'install-plugins' (thanks to Helmut Auer).
|
|
- Updated 'sources.conf' (thanks to Philip Prindeville).
- Now using daemon() instead of fork() to run VDR in daemon mode (thanks to
Enrico Scholz).
- Fixed a possible endless loop in a menu with no selectable items if
Setup.MenuScrollWrap is true (thanks to Enrico Scholz).
- Making sure no item is displayed as "current" if Up, Down, Left or Right is
pressed in a menu with no selectable items.
- Added '__attribute__' to functions that use printf() like parameters (thanks
to Darren Salt).
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed a leftover 'summary.vdr' in vdr.1 (reported by Christoph Hermanns).
- Added more error messages and line numbers when reading EPG data and info.vdr
(thanks to Peter Bieringer).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Added missing mutex locks to cCiMenu::Abort() and cCiEnquiry::Abort() (reported
by Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed lock handling in CAM communication to avoid problems with multiple CAMs
per device or CAMs with more than one smart card.
- Updated the Greek OSD texts (thanks to Dimitrios Dimitrakos).
- Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Nicolas Huillard).
- Fixed the cFilter example in PLUGINS.html (reported by Patrick Fischer).
- The new class cUnbufferedFile is used for the recording files to avoid
trashing the file system cache (based on a patch by Ralf Müller).
|
|
- Fixed a race condition in cTransfer (thanks to Klaus Heppenheimer for reporting this one).
In doing so, the 'active' variables used by the actual derived cThread classes
have been replaced by the cThread::Running() function.
Plugin authors may want to check their derived cThread classes and replace any 'active'
variables the same way as, for instance, done in transfer.c.
- Fixed handling EPG data for time shifted events (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Increased the default value for 'Min. user inactivity' to 300 minutes (suggested
by Helmut Auer).
- Now storing the channel id in the info.vdr file even if there is no EPG info
available (thanks to Andreas Brachold for reporting that there are empty info.vdr
files created in that case).
- Added some 'mkdir -p' to the Makefile's 'install' target (thanks to Wayne Keer).
- Changed the title of the recording info menu (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed handling the frame number display if '7' is pressed before the first editing
mark, or '9' after the last one (thanks to Thomas Günther).
- Now discarding any previous numerical input to switch channels if Up, Down, Channel+,
Channel-, Left or Right is pressed (thanks to Wolfgang Rohdewald for reporting a
problem with this).
- Pressing Ok while entering a channel number now immediately switches to that
channel, without waiting for further input.
- Avoiding unnecessary OSD draw operations caused by the audio track description
display in the ST:TNG skin's channel display (thanks to Oliver Endriss for reporting
this).
- Removed the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES stuff from
cDvbDevice::StillPicture(), since apparently the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call works.
|
|
- Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov).
- Some cable providers don't mark short channel names according to the standard,
but rather go their own way and use "name>short name". VDR now splits at this
character for cable channels (thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- Added a check for Setup.DiSEqC in cDvbDevice::ProvidesTransponder(), otherwise
the EPG scan didn't work on systems that don't use DiSEqC (thanks to Michael
Reinelt for reporting this one).
- Made the Makefile patch friendlier (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Made cOsd::isOpen an integer counter to avoid problems with messages when a
cOsdObject uses the raw OSD (thanks to Andreas Regel for reporting this one).
- Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff).
- The file 'summary.vdr' has been replaced with 'info.vdr' and now contains the
information about a recording, in the same format as the events are stored in
'epg.data' (see man vdr(5) for details). Existing summary files can be converted
to the new format by running the Perl script 'summary2info.pl', as in
summary2info.pl /video
(the parameter given has to be the video directory). If there is no 'info.vdr'
file for a recording, an attempt is made to read a 'summary.vdr'.
- The "Summary" button in the "Recordings" menu has been renamed to "Info", and
the page it brings up now shows the recording's information, much like the EPG
event page. Therefore it now no longer uses the skin's SetText() function, but
rather the SetRecording() function. Skin plugins may need to adjust that function
accordingly (see skinsttng.c, for instance).
- The SVDRP command LSTR now lists the recording information in the same tagged
format as the LSTE command lists the EPG data.
- The audio track menu now contains track descriptions when replaying (provided
such descriptions were available in the EPG data when the recording was made,
and are stored in the info.vdr file).
- Avoiding extra blanks at the end of names of instant recordings.
- Removed converting byte order on big endian systems from cDvbOsd::Flush(),
which, according to Johannes Stezenbach and Paavo Hartikainen, is wrong.
- Added cPlayer::DeviceSetVideoDisplayFormat() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- No longer saving the setup in case of a fatal error, to keep the volume level
from being set to a wrong value (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible hangup when ending a replay session while cIndexFile::CatchUp()
is waiting (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- The SVDRP command DELR no longer deletes recordings that are currently being
written to by a timer (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for pointing out this one).
- Pressing the "Play" key in live viewing mode now resumes a previous replay
session (thanks to Mirko Dölle).
- Now dropping EPG events that have a zero start time or duration (thanks to
Oliver Endriss).
- No longer stopping Transfer Mode or replay immediately when the Power button
is pressed (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Moved the NPTL and UTF-8 checks after the version and help output (thanks to
Andreas Kool for pointing out that 'vdr --version' failed on an UTF-8 system).
- Made tChannelID::operator==() inline for better performance (thanks to Georg
Acher).
- Introduced cListBase::count for better performance (thanks to Georg Acher).
- cEvent no longer stores the channelID directly, but rather has a pointer to
the schedule it is in.
- Now using hash tables to speed up cSchedule::GetEvent() (partially based on
a patch from Georg Acher).
- Avoiding unnecessary calls to getLength() in libsi/si.c, and avoiding the
'& 0xff' in CRC32::crc32() of libsi/util.c (thanks to Georg Acher).
- Speeded up deleting duplicate channels.
- Fixed listing recordings with empty episode names in the LSTR command (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out).
- Added cThread::SetPriority() and using it in cSectionHandler::Action() to
reduce the priority of the section handler threads (as suggested by Georg Acher).

- In order to avoid problems on NPTL systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of NPTL at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to do
'export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1' before starting VDR.
- Revisited the "Fixed missing audio after replaying a DVD" change because it
introduced a sound disturbance when switching between channels on the same
transponder (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- In order to avoid problems on UTF-8 systems, VDR now checks for the presence
of UTF-8 at program start, and if it is, exits and tells the user to turn off
UTF-8 before starting VDR (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing out a problem
with systems that are set to use UTF-8). There are also problems in case the
video partition is mounted with "iocharset=utf8" (thanks to Jörg Knitter for
reporting this one).
Please also read the "IMPORTANT NOTES" section in the INSTALL file!
- Some changes to the SPU decoder interface (thanks to Sven Goethel).
- Some improvements in cOsd creation (thanks to some suggestions by Jouni Karvo).
- Fixed calculating the OSD width and height (thanks to Olaf Henkel for reporting
a problem with long event texts in the "Classic VDR" skin).
- Fixed switching channels while an encrypted channel is being recorded, because the
channel was switched if the new channel was on the same transponder and was
a radio channel or an unencrypted channel (thanks to Martin Dauskardt for reporting
this one).
- No longer using the external 'find' command to scan the video directory for
recordings (based on a suggestion by Mirko Dölle).
- The list of recordings is now kept statically in memory to avoid long delays
when opening the "Recordings" menu. As a side effect, external modifications to
the video directory are no longer immediately reflected in the "Recordings" menu.
If a plugin manipulates the video directory in any way, it can call the function
Recordings.TriggerUpdate() to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
If some external tool manipulates the video directory, it can touch the file
'.update' in the video directory to trigger an update of the list of recordings.
- Fixed a memory leak in theme description handling (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- Added cDevice::Flush() to make sure that all data in the video card's buffers
has been processed (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Currently this is not yet actually
implemented for FF DVB cards.
- Fixed handling the color button texts in cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Maynard
Cedric for reporting this one).
- Fixed the description of cRingBufferLinear (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing
out this one).
- Fixed cRingBufferLinear::Get() in case the buffer wraps around (thanks to Ludwig
Nussel for reporting this one).

- Changed thread handling to make it work with NPTL ("Native Posix Thread Library").
Thanks to Jon Burgess, Andreas Schultz, Werner Fink and Stefan Huelswitt.
- The cThread class now accepts a 'Description' parameter, which is used to log
the beginning and end of the thread, together with its process and thread id.
For descriptions that need additional parameters you can use the function
cThread::SetDescription(), which accepts 'printf()' like arguments.
Existing plugins that use threads should be changed to use this functionality
instead of explicit 'dsyslog()' calls inside their Action() function in order
to support logging the thread ids.
- Added "Slovak Link" and "Czech Link" to 'ca.conf' (thanks to Emil Petersky).
However, 'ca.conf' is now pretty much obsolete due to the automatic CA handling.
- Mutexes are now created with PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP, which makes the
'lockingTid' stuff obsolete (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Changed font handling to allow language specific character sets.
- Adopted the small font character set from the "Elchi" patch (originally
provided by Alessio Sangalli).
- Greek language texts now use iso8859-7 character set (thanks to Dimitrios
Dimitrakos).
- Rearranged section data handling, so that the actual data handling can be done
separately, even from within plugins.
- The EPG data structures have been moved from eit.[hc] to epg.[hc] and have been
adapted to the general VDR coding style. Plugins that use these data structures
may need to change some function names (which should be obvious).
The name 'subtitle' has been changed to 'shortText' to avoid clashes with actual
subtitles that are part of a movie. The name 'extendedDescription' has been
shortened to 'description'.
- Replaced 'libdtv' with 'libsi' (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg), which is thread
safe and can be used by multiple section filters simultaneously.
- Added 'cRwLock' to 'thread.[hc]'. Note that all plugin Makefiles need to
define _GNU_SOURCE for this to work (see the example plugin Makefiles and
'newplugin').
- Fixed a problem with crc32 in SI handling on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Fixed an alignment problem in CAM access on 64bit systems (thanks to Pedro
Miguel Sequeira de Justo Teixeira for reporting this one).
- Added 'StreamType' setting to CAM communication, which is important for
Aston/SECA CAMs (thanks to Antonino Sergi).
- Now the CA descriptors are sent to the CAM in the 'program' or 'ES level'
sections, depending on where they are found in the PMT (thanks to Hans-Peter
Raschke for reporting this one). This should make SkyCrypt CAMs work.
- Now using the 'version number' of EPG events to avoid unnecessary work.
- Channel data is now automatically derived from the DVB data stream (inspired
by the 'autopid' patch from Andreas Schultz).
- The current channel is now automatically re-tuned if the PIDs or other settings
change. If a recording is going on on a channel that has a change in its
settings, the recording will be stopped and immediately restarted to use the
new channel settings.
- EPG events now use the complete channel ID with NID, TID and SID.
- Channel names in 'channels.conf' can now have a short form, as provided
by some tv stations (see man vdr(5)). Currently channels that provide short
names in addition to long ones are listed in the OSD as "short,long name",
as in "RTL,RTL Television". The short names will be used explicitly later.
- The Ca parameter in 'channels.conf' has been extended and now contains all the
CA system ids for the given channel. When switching to a channel VDR now tests
for a device that provides one of these CA system ids. The devices automatically
get their supported ids from the CI handler.
- The values in 'ca.conf' are currently without any real meaning. Whether or not
a channel with conditional access can be received is now determined automatically
by evaluating its CA descriptors and comparing them to the CA system ids
provided by the installed CAM. Only the special values 1-16 are used to assign
a channel to a particular device.
- Increased the maximum number of possible OSD colors to 256.
- Limited the line length in the EPG bugfix report, which appears to fix a buffer
overflow that caused a crash when cleaning up the EPG data (at 05:00 in the
morning).

- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in
the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one).
- Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to
Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material.
In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem().
- Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for
reporting this).
- Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash
when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks
to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift
mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be
read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl).
- Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on
the same channel.
- Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device
used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to
Richard Robson for reporting this one).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting
this one).
- Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for
switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous"
(suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running
out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).
|
|
- Modified handling of audio packets in cDvbPlayer for better sync with external
AC3 replay (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Fixed a memory leak in cNonBlockingFileReader (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Completed the French OSD texts (thanks to Gregoire Favre).
- Completed the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Niko Tarnanen and Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed I/O handling in case an explicit controlling terminal is given (thanks
to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed resume file handling in case the resume.vdr file can't be written
(thanks to Gerhard Steiner).
- Fixed cutting a recording if there is only a single editing mark (thanks to
Ralf Klueber for reporting this one).
- Fixed volume display in case a plugin has its own OSD open (thanks to Marcel
Wiesweg).
- Fixed channel switching in the EPG scanner on single device systems.
- Completed the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Tomas Prybil).
- Now switching to the channel used by the most recently started timer in case
the original current channel becomes unavailable due to a recording on a
different transponder. If this fails, a channel up/down switch is attempted as
a fallback solution (thanks to Lauri Tischler for reporting this one, and to
Hermann Gausterer for suggesting to switch to the recording channel).
- Fixed cReplayControl::Show() to avoid a compiler warning in g++ 3.2.3 (thanks
to Jan Ekholm for reporting this one).
- Completed the Slovenian OSD texts (thanks to Matjaz Thaler).
- Changed the DEFAULTPRIORITY in device.c to -1, so that the primary device
will be used for FTA recordings in case the CAM is connected to a non-primary
device (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for reporting this one).
- The cCiHandler now closes its file handle when it gets destroyed.
- Checking for duplicate recordings with the same file name and disabling the
second timer (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one).
- Fixed handling newly created timers in case they are not confirmed with "Ok"
(thanks to Gerhard Steiner for reporting this one).
- It is now possible to directly delete a timer that is currently recording
(thanks to Alexander Damhuis for reporting this one).

|
- Fixed detecting broken connection to the LIRC daemon (thanks to Ludwig Nussel).
- Now sending CA descriptors to the CAM in the same sequence as they were originally
received (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- The PCR PID can now be set separately from the video PID. The syntax in the
'channels.conf' file is, for example, ...:164+17:..., where 164 is the video PID
and 17 is the PCR PID. The separator is a '+' sign, not a comma or semicolon as
with the audio PIDs, because this is not an alternate PID, but rather an
additional, necessary PID. In order to use this feature you need a driver version
dated 2003-04-27 or higher (setting the PCR PID didn't work in earlier versions).
- Fixed deleting the last recording in the "Recordings" menu, which started pausing
live video (thanks to Christoph Friederich for reporting this one).
- Now setting the "broken link" flag for GOPs at the beginning of a new video
sequence, which avoids artefacts when cutting (thanks to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Removed the Mute() call from cDvbDevice::StillPicture() (suggested by Andreas
Schultz).
- Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin (thanks to Andreas Brachold).
- Extended logging info when starting/stopping timers to show the channel number,
start/stop time and the file name (suggested by Manuel Hartl).
- Added a note regarding non-VDR files in the /videoX directories to INSTALL
(suggested by Benjamin Harling).
- Skipping keys that come in too fast from LIRC (thanks to Christian Jacobsen).
- Avoiding short display of the main menu if a plugin displays its own OSD and
is started through a user defined key macro (thanks to Andreas Mair for reporting
this one).
- Reduced the time to wait for EPG data when starting a recording to 3 seconds.
- The new SVDRP command STAT can be used to request information about the disk
usage (thanks to Thomas Koch).
- Fixed faulty calculation of section length in eit.c (thanks to Teemu Rantanen).
|
|
- Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with
'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice).
By default it currently still uses the old driver.
- Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!",
since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people.
- Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this
in his DXR3 plugin).
- cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class
can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for
further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall
check if any of its file handles is ready for data.
- Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt).
- VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if
there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code
itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.
|
|
- Added Hungarian language texts (thanks to Istvan Koenigsberger and Guido Josten).
- Activated cutting.
- Activated 'Transfer Mode'.
- Moved handling of the Menu key entirely into vdr.c.
- Switched VDR's own player to the new cPlayer/cControl structures.
- Switched handling 'Transfer Mode' to the new cPlayer/cControl structures.
- The following limitations apply to this version:
+ The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet.
+ Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
