[vdr] VDR developer version 1.1.19
VDR developer version 1.1.19 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.1.19.tar.bz2
The changes since version 1.1.18:
- The character '|' in description texts of EPG records is now interpreted as a
newline character (suggested by Gerhard Steiner).
- Updated 'channels.conf.cable' (thanks to Andreas Kool).
- Improved handling of repeated remote keys.
- The RCU now only sets the channel number display when there are no incoming remote
control keys, which improves reaction on repeated keys.
- The actual tuning is now done in a separate thread, which makes zapping through the
channels a lot faster and no longer gets stuck on channels that don't broadcast.
This also makes "Motor-DiSEqC" work (thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner for his help
in testing this). Since switching channels now no longer explicitly waits for a
channel lock in the foreground thread, the "panic level" mechanism is no longer
used (maybe we don't need it any more, anyway).
- The keyboard is now by default always active to control VDR. The 'make' option
REMOTE=KBD is therefore obsolete. When compiling VDR with REMOTE=RCU or REMOTE=LIRC,
the keyboard can thus now be active together with the remote control. If you want
to build VDR _without_ keyboard support you can set NO_KBD=1 in the 'make' call.
Since the keyboard codes are now different from the ones used previously (which
were mapped by the 'ncurses' library) you will need to go through the "Learning
keys" procedure again. To do so, either delete the file /video/remote.conf or
remove the KBD.* entries from it before starting this version of VDR.
(Thanks to Thomas Sailer for pointing out how to set the terminal parameters to
read from the keyboard).
- The 'ncurses' library is now only necessary when compiling VDR with DEBUG_OSD=1.
This version requires a DVB driver dated 2002-11-01 or later. I am currently
using the driver in
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2002-12-08.tar.bz2
which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2002-12-08.
There may be ARM crashes when doing simultaneous recording and replay
with a single DVB card and heavily using the OSD. This is probably a driver issue.
Have fun!
