VDR Plugin 'block' Revision History ----------------------------------- 2010/04/20: Version 0.0.1b Initial release. Fix: 'Ok' now in fact unlocks a blocked broadcast reliably (switch function was moved to destructor of control.c) ************************************************************************** 2010/04/19: Version 0.0.1 First version. This version is based on a cvs checkout (20100113) of the orphaned vdr-plugin taste originally coded by LordJaxom aka Sascha Volkenandt. Unfortunately the taste plugin did not work on vdr machines lacking a full feature dvb card. So i tried to change some code to achieve compatibility with a broader range of configs and finally came up with a new version that does the job on machines with a ff-card as well as on budget solutions (in my case the dxr3) and state-of-the-art softdevice configurations. This patch can be found here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=92550 Tobi then kindly offered me the opportunity to continue the development of the taste plugin on projects.vdr-developer.org and i asked Sascha how he feels about that, but he did not answer. So i decided to publish the new version as a fork called 'block'. This way Saschas work will remain untouched and i am completely free to continue my work on the plugin. Differences in the block plugin ------------------------------- ** New features: -Compatibility with non-ff output including budget and state-of-the-art softdevice configurations added (channel switch analysis changed) -Implementation of syslog functions (BLOCK_LOGGING in the Makefile set to 1 or 0 respectively will switch logging on/off) ATTENTION: This will add lots of entries to your syslog! ** Patches: Patches by tomg and mapovi which were written for the taste plugin were applied to a were applied to a clean cvs checkout of the taste plugin on 2010/01/13 so that they are permanently build in the block plugin now. Locale patch: - fixed clean target of Makefile - adapted Makefile to current newplugin template - use translations of main vdr - exclude old i18n parts by ifdefs Version compatibility: Changes for VDR >= 1.5.0 (applicable to VDR >= 1.4.5) Makefile fix: added -fPIC to compiler options to prevent FTBFS Some additional information can be found here: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=90293 Thanks to tomg and mapovi for their kind permission to use the patches. ** WWW: Project homepage: http://projects.vdr-developer.org/projects/plg-block/news Author contact: Michael Schneider
