[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.3.47
by Klaus Schmidinger 27 Apr '06

27 Apr '06

VDR developer version 1.3.47 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.47.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.46-47.diff Except for a few version numbers in the man pages etc., this is pretty much what will become the final version 1.4. Those who have translated the OSD texts should please check whether there are any untranslated texts in their language left, and send me a patch (diff -u) against this version of the i18n.c file. Please test this version intensively and report bugs as soon as possible to this list, or directly to me via email. The changes since version 1.3.46 - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed a crash when setting the time transponder in the Setup menu, caused by the new 'noneString' in cMenuEditChanItem (reported by Thomas Günther). - Added NULL checks to some strdup() calls in menuitems.c (suggested by Darren Salt). - Removed the unnecessary 'value' member from cMenuEditItem. - Fixed the initial setting of the time transponder setup parameter (reported by Thomas Günther). - Fixed unnecessary Set() calls in cMenuEditIntItem::ProcessKey(). - Allowing a tolerance for symbol rate values that are off by one (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Added VBITeletextDescriptorTag, TeletextDescriptorTag, LocalTimeOffsetDescriptorTag and PremiereContentTransmissionDescriptor to 'libsi' (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Using geteuid() to check whether VDR is running as user 'root' (suggested by Tobias Grimm). - Added a missing "Key$" in skincurses.c (reported by Darren Salt). - Reintroduced the log message "deleting plugin: ..." when shutting down VDR (upon request by Ville Skyttä, as in the initial patch from Christoph Haubrich). - Fixed the vdr.1 man page (a single DVB card can record and do live tv). - The preferred audio language is now automatically selected when starting replay. - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - The new function cPlugin::Active() can be used by a plugin to indicate that it is still busy and the system should not shut down or restart (based on a patch from Peter Dittmann). See PLUGINS.html for details. - Fixed setting the 'Delta' parameter when calling the shutdown script with no active timer (reported by Helge Lenz). - In order to make sure that plugins are compiled with the same DVB driver header files as VDR itself, the definition of DVBDIR has been removed from the VDR Makefile. If you are using a driver version that has its header files at a location other than /usr/include/linux/dvb, you can define DVBDIR in the Make.config file (see also INSTALL). Any reference to DVBDIR should be removed from all plugins' Makefiles, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2005/11/11 13:20:14 1.10 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 @@ -20,7 +20,6 @@ ### The directory environment: -DVBDIR = ../../../../DVB VDRDIR = ../../..

See MANUAL for details. - Implemented kChanPrev (from a patch from Darren Salt). - The "Update channels" parameter in the "Setup/DVB" menu has been extended to allow updating only the PIDs (see MANUAL for details). When updating to this version of VDR, please verify that the setting is as you want it to be, because the values have been shifted. - The new APIVERSION (see config.h) now allows existing compiled plugins to be used with newer versions of VDR, as long as there have been no changes to the VDR header files since the last APIVERSION. Existing plugins' Makefiles should have all references to VDRVERSION changed to APIVERSION, like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ --- PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/15 11:58:46 1.11 +++ PLUGINS/src/hello/Makefile 2006/04/16 09:03:50 1.12 @@ -28,9 +28,9 @@ -include $(VDRDIR)/Make.config -### The version number of VDR (taken from VDR's "config.h"): +### The version number of VDR's plugin API (taken from VDR's "config.h"): -VDRVERSION = $(shell grep 'define VDRVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') +APIVERSION = $(shell grep 'define APIVERSION ' $(VDRDIR)/config.h | awk '{ print $$3 }' | sed -e 's/"//g') ### The name of the distribution archive: @@ -67,7 +67,7 @@ libvdr-$(PLUGIN).so: $(OBJS) $(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -shared $(OBJS) -o $@ - @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(VDRVERSION) + @cp $@ $(LIBDIR)/$@.$(APIVERSION) dist: clean @-rm -rf $(TMPDIR)/$(ARCHIVE) ------------------------------------------------------------ - If a timer is newly created from within the "Schedule" menu, and its event is already running or has its start time within the next two minutes, it now goes directly into the "Edit timer" menu in order to allow the user to make further changes to timer parameters before the actual recording starts (inspired by Christian Wieninger's "epgsearch" plugin). - Added format check to syslog_with_tid(). - Updated the INSTALL file's section about non-VDR files in the video directory (since version 1.3.38 disk access is done in a separate thread, so the watchdog timer won't hit). - Changed the behaviour of the "Use small font" setup option to *always* use the small font if set to '3' - even if it would have been a fixed font (suggested by Ronny Kornexl). - No longer using characters 0x01 and 0x02 for mapping single quote and slash in recording names (thanks to Patrick Fischer for reporting that this was a problem with XML). The single quote is not mapped at all, and the slash is interchanged with the tilde. Existing recordings will be handled like before, so there is no need to actually rename them. - The cRemote::CallPlugin() function now has a boolean return value that tells the caller whether initiating the plugin call was successful (suggested by Reinhard Nissl). If it returns false, another plugin call is currently pending and the caller should try again later. This also means that the SVDRP command PLUG can now return an error code is the call fails. - The new function cPlugin::MainThreadHook() can be used by plugins to perform actions in the context of the main program thread. Use this function with great care and only of you absolutely have to! See also PLUGINS.html. Have fun! Klaus

Have fun! Klaus

Hi, Not the right list but maybe there are other people affected here. Since upgrading to 2.6.16 kernel I have had problems accessing the DVB card. I run debian sid. No frontend or dvb structure in /dev were created After further investigation it shows to be a bug already recorded by redhat. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181063 One needs to blacklist the stradis driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist Hope it helps someone.

Audio-only playback stops if recording starts on primary device
by Tobias Grimm 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

Hi! When playing back audio only files with e.g. the MP3 or the Podcatcher plugin ( pmAudioOnly mode ), the playback suddenly stops, if a recording from the primary device starts (I'm using a full featured and a budget card with 1.3.48). There's no problem, if I force the recording to the budget card. Besides this, if I restart the audio playback while the recording is running from the primary device, I can't see the live picture anymore. If I start the recording, stop the recording and then start the audio playback, the screen is black as well. If I switch to another channel and back before starting the audio playback, it correctly shows the live picture again. I'm not sure, whether this is a VDR bug or a plugin bug, but I assume the problem can be found in VDR. The plugins initialize the player with cPlayer(pmAudioOnly). Any ideas? bye, Tobias

How to have epg of reccorded from "bad" channels ?
by Gregoire Favre 25 Apr '06

25 Apr '06

Hello, I do some reccordings with "large" marge of time before and after... The problem with this "solution" is that I often get EPG from previous program sent... Any idea on how to simply reccord "previous" and "next" EPG in a file without needing to go in epg.data by "hand" ? Thank, -- Grégoire FAVRE http://gregoire.favre.googlepages.com
