[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.5.1 plugin

[Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de>]

Hi,

after quite a long time I'm pleased to announce release 0.5.1:

    http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.5.1.tgz

2004-10-04: Version 0.5.1

- Updated documentation (thanks to Daren Salt for supplying the patch).
- OSD scaling is now using frame resolution instead of stream resolution. This
  should make the OSD show up more often already at the right resoltion. For
  almost immediate response to resolution changes it is required to run xine
  with --post vdr.
- Completed implementation of cDevice::GrabImage() method. It now supports
  xine's different image formats and honors the different aspect ratio of
  16:9 broadcasts.
- Added paragraph to INSTALL about additional programs which are needed to
  successfully grab images.
- Added paragraph to INSTALL about remote learning mode.
- Synchronized OSD output. Hideing an OSD and grabing an image immediately
  afterwards leaded to a snapshot which still showed the OSD.
- Probably fixed audio replay on channels with still video. Prebuffer time is
  now extended dynamically by the difference between audio and video time
  stamps on the channel in question.
- Fixed prebuffering after toggleing audio channel.
- Reorganized directory structure of the xine part once again. xine-ui now
  needs the configure switch "--enable-vdr-keys" to support vdr-xine's remote.
- Improved OSD scaling which took over month to optimize. See Makefile for
  OSD_SCALING_HQ. One might also choose OSD_SCALING_SHQ but be warned about
  the CPU load it causes.
- xine-lib-1-RC6 should be sufficient for this release but my patches will
  complain about the recently added driver xxmc.

Enjoy.

Bye.
