@@ -8231,3 +8231,22 @@ Video Disk Recorder Revision History created with the wrong source. - Added a log message in case a receiver is detached from its device because the assigned CAM can't decrypt the channel. +- Refactored setup parameter handling for output devices: + + The function cDevice::GetVideoSystem() has been deprecated and will be removed + in a future version. In order to check whether a particular plugin needs to be + modified if this function is removed, you can comment out the line + #define DEPRECATED_VIDEOSYSTEM + in device.h. + + Handling the "video (display) format" (things like 16:9, 4:3, pan&scan, letterbox + etc) shall now be done by the individual output devices, because the types and + numbers of parameters are too device specific. The Setup/DVB parameters + "Video format" and "Video display format" are still there for now and can be used + by SD devices. HD devices, however, shall not use these parameters (any more), + but rather implement their own setup menu with the necessary parameters for + controlling output. + + The dvbhdffdevice plugin has been modified accordingly. + + Made it clear that cDevice::SetDigitalAudioDevice() merely tells the output device + that the current audio track is Dolby Digital. This function was only used by the + original "full featured" DVB cards - do not use it for new developments! + If an output device has several ways of replaying audio (like HDMI or analog jack) + it shall implement the proper options in its plugin's SetupMenu() function. |
