Community maintained VDR projects

With the update Redmine will show Git-branches and tags in its built-in repository browser plus some other nice features.

I try to make this transition as smooth as possible, but I might need to take down the whole service for some hours.

Only the Redmine webinterface will be affected you can still use the Git repositories!

Version 0.6 of plugin is ready for downloading. See HISTORY file for changes.

New Features:
-The main menu entry now not only adds the title of the current
show to the blacklist, but also permanentely removes the title
if it is already found in the blacklist.

Bugfixes:
-with detection method set to 'Channel EPG' and replay of recorded
shows was terminated on block event on the underlying channel.
Fixed now.

-Channel Up and Channel Down keys were not working at all! Different
from VDRs key handling of Up and Down the Channel variants were eaten
by VDR itself and made it ignore the plugin code (however the plugin
correctly detected the keys...). Fixed now by kind of a workaround.
Thanks to igel for reporting this bug.

today im proud to release the first release of eSVDRP on vdr-developers.org.

Changes:

- Fixed some compiler warnings.
- Makefile adjustments for VDR 1.7.13.
- Fixed segmentation fault with 16bit images (closes #258 - thanks to
  domml@vdrportal)
- Fixed crash with GraphicsMagick >= 1.3.8 and non-XPM images.
- Fixed crash when deleting ongoing timers or their recordings (closes #306)

Changes

• Added support for VDR >= 1.7.14

Based on the new 'Channel EPG' scan method (as of 0.0.2) an optional parental guidance feature was added. The plugin permanentely checks the current EPG title and blocks if there is a matching blacklist entry. On top of that the parental guidance mode automatically configures the plugin automatically against changes in the plugin setup, disables deblocking by 'Ok' etc. To activate the parental guidance mode just add block.ParentalGuidance = 1 to setup.conf (vdr). See README for further details.

Furthermore there is a wiki page now: http://www.vdr-wiki.de/wiki/index.php/Block-plugin
(though only German by now)

HISTORY excerpt:

Added a new detection method: Channel EPG
This method scans the running program and not only blocks on zapping but
also makes the plugin switch to another channel on a changeover to a
blacklisted show. In some rare cases several stations do not update
the current EPG signal in sync so unfortunately there might be false
detections. It is possible to change the detection method in the plugins
setup, where 'On Switch' is the old method and 'Channel EPG' the new.

Furthermore it is now possible to change switching directions on a block
event by pressing the (channel) up/down keys on your remote.

Several other minor code changes.
