@@ -1536,7 +1536,38 @@ Video Disk Recorder Revision History - Avoiding restarts due to 'panic level' when switching channels on the primary device during EPG scan. -2002-09-30: Version 1.1.12 +2002-10-06: Version 1.1.12 - Fixed a missing Flush() call in the remote control learning procedure (thanks to Oliver Endriss). +- Modified channel handling to cover all parameters necessary for DVB-C and DVB-T + (see man vdr(5) for the meaning of the additional parameters stored in the field + previously named 'polarisation'). Thanks to Uwe Scheffler for testing. + If you have a system with different kinds of DVB cards, like DVB-T and DVB-C, + for instance, there is no more need to distinguish the channels through the + 'Ca' parameter in order to assign them to the various DVB cards. This is now + taken care of by the "source" parameter. So a channel marked as "terrestrial", + for example, will only be received on DVB-T cards. + Note that the cChannel class has been moved into a separate file (channels.[ch]), + and that all data members have been made private and are now only accessible + through member functions. You may have to change any plugin code that accesses + cChannel data accordingly. +- The new configuration file 'sources.conf' contains the various signal sources + (satellites, cable and terrestrial) which are used in 'channels.conf' and + 'diseqc.conf' (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for adding some satellites to + 'sources.conf' and Oliver Endriss and Lauri Tischler for testing and debugging). +- The 'diseqc' parameter in the channel definitions has been redefined to hold the + "source" of the given channel (which can be either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). + For compatibility with channels.conf files from older versions, numeric values in + this parameter will be tolerated, but they have no meaning. If you want to use + DiSEqC you will need to replace these old values with the proper source identifiers + defined in the new configuration file 'sources.conf'. See how this is done in the + 'channels.conf' file that comes with the VDR package. +- The new configuration file 'diseqc.conf' can be used to set up the individual + diseqc configuration (see man vdr(5) for a description of the file format). +- The "Edit channel" menu has a new entry "Source:" in which the source of this + channel can be selected (either a satellite, cable or terrestrial). The set of + parameters at the end of this menu will change according to the type of source. +- The "Use DiSEqC" parameter in the "Setup/LNB" menu has been moved to the beginning + of the list and disables the rest of the parameters when set to "yes", since these + are now only meaningful if DiSEqC is _not_ used. |
