[vdr] VDR developer version 1.3.1
VDR developer version 1.3.1 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.1.tar.bz2
WARNING:
========
Before using this version, please make sure you read the file
README.developer (which is contained in this archive). Also, please
don't use this version in your "productive" environment (unless you
know what you're doing ;-), because it automatically changes the
'channels.conf' file and the changed file might not work with older
versions of VDR.
Note that due to the new transponder scanning the number of channels
may increase dramatically, and so may the amount of EPG data.
Set the "Setup/DVB/Update channels" option to a smaller value if you
don't want to get new transponders or channels.
The changes since version 1.3.0
- Fixed a lockup in the EPG scanner when no non-primary device was available
(thanks to Martin Holst for reporting this one).
- Fixed a compiler warning about virtual cConfig::Load() functions (thanks to
Lauri Tischler for reporting this one).
- Fixed a warning about character comparison in libsi/si.c (thanks to Lauri
Tischler for reporting this one).
- The new parameter "Update channels" in the "Setup/DVB" menu can be used to
control if and how channels will be automatically updated (see MANUAL).
This has already been part of the 'autopid' patch by Andreas Schultz and has
now been adopted.
- Fixed a crash in case there is no DVB hardware present (thanks to Sascha
Volkenandt for reporting this one).
- Changed calculation of channel ids to make it work for tv stations that use
the undefined NID value 0 (thanks to Teemu Rantanen for reporting this one).
- Enhanced the SDT filter to handle multi part sections.
- Added support for selecting preferred EPG languages (based upon a patch by
Teemu Rantanen).
- Fixed a 'const' in libsi/si.h (thanks to Marcel Wiesweg).
- Fixed the 'su' call in 'runvdr' to make it work on systems that require the
user name to appear before the command option (thanks to Robert Huitl).
- Fixed testing for matching section filters in case they are turned off (thanks
to Marcel Wiesweg).
- In case of incomplete sections an error message is now logged only every 10
seconds.
- Fixed a possible NULL pointer access in cEITScanner::Process() (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- The actual transponder data is now taken from the NIT and existing channels
are adjusted if necessary. If the NIT contains new transponders, they are
scanned for channels during the next EPG scan. Note that only the satellite
branches are tested, cable and terrestrial need to be tested by somebody who
actually has such equipment.
The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/linux-dvb.2003-11-08.tar.bz2
which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2003-11-08, made available as a complete
archive for your convenience. Of course, you can also use any newer version from
the CVS.
Have fun!
