They are no longer needed, because we now + always delete the readThread and stop/start the encoder when switching + channels. +- removed unused ePause and eResume in SetEncoderState. +- introduced PvrSetup.SliceVBI which allows to turn off embedding VBI + (Teletext) data into the mpeg. + This could improve stability if you don`t use the osdteletxt-Plugin and have + problems with full ivtv buffers. + Changing the setting will take effect after a restart. +- Newer ivtv drivers don`t allow changing some settings + V4L2_CID_MPEG_AUDIO_SAMPLING_FREQ + V4L2_CID_MPEG_AUDIO_L2_BITRATE + V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_MODE + V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE + V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_BITRATE_PEAK + while the encoder is running. Each time you change settings in the plugin + setup, we now repeat all settings once after the next encoder stop (= during + next channel switch) +- introduced PvrSetup.VideoBitrateFM and renamed PvrSetup.VideoBitrate to + PvrSetup.VideoBitrateTV. + Different bitrates allow us to avoid unnecessary large files when recording + from radio (see also README). +- removed unnecessary "typedef enum" in setup.h + + +2007-09-02 (Dr. Seltsam): +- adapted plugin to recent ivtv driver changes. Changing the VBI format, + video norm, input or tuner band requires now an encoder stop/start. + Basically this is nothing else than the "AntiFlickering workaround" did + before (by closing and re-opening the device), so I also renamed it + to "Force encoder stop/start". +- moved Clearing of tsBuffer from OpenDvr to SetChannelDevice. + (If a timer starts while you watch a recording, vdr tunes to the desired + channel without calling OpenDvr.) +- a default value of 20 ms for DelayAfterTune seems to be sufficient +- added a recommendation in README for PVR350 users to enable + "Force encoder stop/start" +- update README + + +2007-05-10 .. 2007-05-23 (Wirbel): + +- tried to simplify controls (QueryAllControls, SetControlValue) +- SetControlValue is now overloaded function +- separate valSet for FM radio Audio Volume instead of int type +- added cPlugin::Stop() which stops all threads, see <vdr>/PLUGINS.html +- added preliminary Patch for vdr-1.5.2 (later 1.5 Versions may need + some small adaptions inside channels.conf and plugins source code) +- new function SetVBImode() +- fixed internationalization for setup page and mainpage +- cPvrReadThread::Action() is now checking Running as needed + (see <vdr>/threads.h) +- added cPvrReadThread::ResetCounters(void) +- cPvrReadThread::PesToTs and cPvrReadThread::ParseProgramStream + sligthly changed +- FM Radio now initialized in cPvrDevice::cPvrDevice +- new property IVTV_apiversion gives ivtv version number +- cPvrDevice::Probe rewritten +- cPvrDevice::OpenDvr now resets all counters: audio, video, text +- several other improvements +- fix: 'Channel no available' during records from ext inputs +- channels with frequency 87500 .. 108000 (87.5MHz .. 108MHz) are now + considered as FM radio, regardless of their VPID. +- thanks to DrSeltsam for excessive testing + + +2007: + +- added a first version of romanian i18n (Lucian Muresan +<lucianm AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net>) +- re-added main menu control, because it's useful and yet +optional (Lucian Muresan <lucianm AT users DOT sourceforge DOT net>) +-removed 3.2 pulldown stuff because it was removed in driver +-Code Cleanup by Andreas Schaefers +-fix and improve radio (thanx to Jose Alberto Reguero + <jareguero@telefonica.net> ) +-smoother channel switching: use encoder pause before tuning and resume after + tuner has fully locked. Thererfore the time between tuning and encoder resume + can be set in the menu (WaitAfterTuning). Default value is 50ms. + +2006-11-21: +-added "Anti-Flickering workaround" in the plugin menu. If set to "yes", it + will close and re-open the device at each channel switch. This has been tested + as being a reliably workaround for the flickering problem that some people + have been reported. (see also + http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=52013 and + http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/devel/33101 ). Default is "no" + The Flickering is solved in newer drivers for cx23416-based cards, but still + exist for cx23415 (PVR350 and older revisions of PVR250) + +2006-10-08 (Wirbel): + +- removed all old ivtv API calls and switched to v4l2 (some of them already + were v4l2 api) +- removed ivtv.h and videodev2.h +- removed the main menu entry, because it was easier to realize +- added internationalization (english and german are done, other + languages not done but prepared) +- improved video filter settings + +2006-02-09: Version 0.1.1 + +- fixed detection of pvr card to work with ivtv version 0.4.1 or later with +kernel 2.4. + + +2005-11-27: Version 0.1.0 + +- fixed detection of pvr card to work with ivtv version 0.4.1 or later. + + +2005-11-27: Version 0.0.9 + +- adapted setting of VBI mode to new API used in driver version 0.4.0. +- removed dynamic setting of VBI embedded mode as this doesn't work when the +video device is opened. + + +2005-09-04: Version 0.0.8 + +- Fixed setting of vbi modes. + + +2005-09-04: Version 0.0.7 + +- It is possible to hide the main menu entry through a setting in setup menu. +- The time to wait for the ringbuffer to fill with data is now adjustable in + setup menu. +- Now using embedded vbi mode only when the channel has a valid teletext PID. + If the PID is 0 then embedded vbi mode is disabled. + + +2005-08-28: Version 0.0.6 + +- Added setting of vbi teletext mode. Now it should work again with 0.2 and + 0.3 drivers. +- Removed dependency from libdvb from makefile. +- Added a small OSD window for setting up the picture parameters (brightness, + contrast, saturation, hue). It can be reached from the main menu. + + +2005-08-27: Version 0.0.5 + +- Fixed: memcpy length in last TS packet was wrong (thanks to Christian + Cier-Zniewski for reporting). +- Made PES to TS conversion MPEG compliant, stuffing in last TS packet is now + done with adaptaion field. (thanks to Christian Cier-Zniewski for reporting). +- Static variables of PET to TS conversion are now non-static members of + cPvrReadThread. This is needed for multiple card support. +- Fixed: not switching to new channel when recording starts during watching + another analogue channel. + + +2005-08-26: Version 0.0.4 + +- Switched to a self-written PES to TS conversion. libdvb is no longer needed. +- Now using vbi embedded mode for reading the teletext data. +- fixed closing the radio device when switching to a non-tuner input (thanks + to Jose Alberto Reguero). +- Waiting for buffer to fill in GetTsPacket. This speeds up the "hopping" over + channels. You can change the kTimeToWaitAfterChannelSwitch value to change + the time to wait. 1000 works good for me and slows down things not too much. +- renewed ivtv.h to be compatible with ivtv 0.3 versions. + + +2005-07-23: Version 0.0.3 + +- Settings taken in setup menu are now applied after leaving it with OK +- Now reading video and vbi data in one and the same thread. I hope + this improves things a bit. +- Now immediately returns in SetChannelDevice when the channel is already set. +- Only reading from vbi device if opening was successful (thanks to steffx + for reporting this one). + + +2005-06-13: Version 0.0.2 + +- The tuner input is now auto-detected (I hope this works for non + PVR-250 cards). +- Added support for other inputs than the tuner, using the "C" parameter + of the channel entry. I did not test this here, it should work. +- Fixed VIDIOC_G_FMT ioctl. +- Added support for the video norms NTSC, SECAM and PAL, using the "I" + parameter of the channel entry. +- Added support for radio channels, the video PID must be set to zero. + I can't test this here, I hope it works. +- Added setup menu for setting up encoding parameters. +- Added videodev2.h file from the ivtv driver archive. + + +2005-05-31: Version 0.0.1 + +- Initial revision. |
