Please run this version - of VDR in a controlled environment only, and work with - copies of all your config files! - -This version of VDR focuses on some improvements regarding -CAM support and, most important, the first step towards automatic -PID handling. Some things are still in a raw state, but at least -the program should now dynamically react on any changes in the -channel settings. - -Here's a list of the highlights - and what _not_ to expect yet -(but don't worry, these things will come soon ;-): - -- Automatic switching when PIDs are changed (e.g. for regional - programmes). -- There is no explicit transponder list yet, so you just - have to define one channel for a new transponder and VDR - will automatically detect all other channels on that transponder. -- New channels are added to the end of the channel list, so - it might be a good idea to add a line like - - :@1000 New channels - - to have them start at some high number. -- Improved CAM support. Channels with conditional access now automatically - use the device that contains the proper CAM. -- No NVOD support yet. - -Note that this is currently work in progress, so there may be some -areas that don't work as smooth as expected, yet. - -Known issues: -============= - -- The Setup/CICAM menu is currently without much meaning. - CA detection is done automatically. -- The channel "EURO1080" on Astra 19.2E currently broadcasts HDTV - test signals. Unfortunately, the full featured DVB cards crash - pretty ugly when tuned to that channel, so it might be a good idea - to have the channel definition - - EURO1080:12168:v:S19.2E:27500:308:256:0:FF:21100:1:1088:0 - - in your 'channels.conf' file. Note the Ca parameter 'FF' (255 in hex), - which gives this channel a non-existent Ca mode, so that it won't - be tuned to at all. If you really want to tune to this channel for - tests, do it on your own risk. -- The 'sky' plugin now temporarily uses Ca value 30 (this will be changed - later). -- Since the CA detection is now done automatically, a timer that starts - immediately after VDR has been launched and wants to record a CA channel - may not work. This will be changed later to make this work safely. - -What to test: -============= - -Apart from the usual general functionality, special attention should -be given to the following matters: - -- Does the automatic PID switching really work in all cases, especially - in conjunction with conditional access channels? -- Does CAM support work for all kinds of CAMs? - -Known bugs: -=========== - -- Sometimes a new channel is created with the wrong 'source' - parameter. This presumably happens when the transponder and source - are switched, and there is still an SDT data packet being processed. - The call to device->HasLock() in sections.c should fix this (and it - apparently does for most cases), but there must still be soemthing - wrong in that area. This may be fixed in 1.3.1 - please report if - it does still happen there. -- Sometimes the current channel gets re-tuned even though the channel - data of this channel didn't change (but that of an other channel did - change). |
