[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.16 - release candidate
by Klaus Schmidinger 27 Feb '08

27 Feb '08

VDR developer version 1.5.16 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.16.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.15-1.5.16.diff NOTE: ===== This is the final step towards a stable version 1.6.0. Please report any bugs as soon as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, I plan to release version 1.6.0 on March 2. The following translation files still have untranslated texts: ca_ES.po cs_CZ.po el_GR.po es_ES.po fr_FR.po hr_HR.po nl_NL.po nn_NO.po pl_PL.po pt_PT.po ro_RO.po sl_SI.po sv_SE.po tr_TR.po uk_UA.po It would be nice if somebody could finish these before the 1.6.0 release. To avoid duplicate work, please announce your activity here in this thread. WARNING: ======== This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive environment, I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled conditions and for testing and debugging. The changes since version 1.5.15: - Fixed setting the current subtitle track in Transfer-Mode (reported by Petri Helin, thanks to Reinhard Nissl for pointing out that cDevice::Transferring() doesn't return the right value in the early stage of channel switching). - Updated the Danish OSD texts (thanks to Mogens Elneff). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse). - Fixed various spelling errors and improved PLUGINS.html (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed the format in cRemote::Put() to use "%016llX" instead of "%016LX" (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Revised the fix of calculating the scrollbar height in the skins. The scrollbar handle now always has a height that is at least the width of the scrollbar. - When switching the device that's used for live viewing away from the current transponder in favor of an upcoming recording, an attempt is now made to stay on the current channel by possibly going into 'Transfer Mode'. - The CAM menu now stays open as long as it is automatically updated, even without pressing a remote control key. This is important when updating the CAM firmware from the transponder. - No longer trying to switch to an available channel if the primary device has no valid programme and a menu is open (avoids interference with the CAM in case a CAM menu is open). - Increased the valid range of the "Subtitle offset" setup option to -100...100 (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added the backslash ('\') to the list of characters that need to be escaped when executing external commands (thanks to Peter Bieringer for reporting this one). *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus

by syrius.ml＠no-log.org 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi there, First time i'm using the Makefile to install vdr. Why is it : install-i18n: @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(LOCDIR) @(cd $(LOCALEDIR); cp -r --parents * $(DESTDIR)$(LOCDIR)) and install-plugins: plugins @mkdir -p $(DESTDIR)$(PLUGINLIBDIR) @cp --remove-destination $(PLUGINDIR)/lib/lib*-*.so.$(APIVERSION) $(DESTDIR)$(PLUGINLIBDIR) with DESTDIR ?= PREFIX ?= /usr/local MANDIR = $(PREFIX)/share/man BINDIR = $(PREFIX)/bin LOCDIR = ./locale being the default ? is there a $(PREFIX) missing after $(DESTDIR) in install-i18n and install-plugins ? --

[patch] channels with same pids
by ua0lnj 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi. Some satellites have many channels with same sid, nid, tid on different transponders. This is incorrect pid table, and vdr works with it not good, need scan channels and change rid manually, but if you select "transponder update" all you settings will be rewrite and channels deleted as duplicate. I have this trouble on ABS1 75.0 E and Express AM2 80.0 E, and I have very many channels with same pids on my iptv stream. After this patch, vdr parsing duplicate pids, and if transponders is not equal, channel not deleted, but rid wil be increased. If pids and transponders are equal, channel will be deleted as duplicate. Patch was made for vdr-1.5.12, but works with 1.5.15 too. Attached 3 patches, for native vdr and vdr + iptv plugin patched and for native reelchannelscan-0.4.1 plugin (include patch for 1.5.xx).

Hi, New versions of fEPG, Browse and ATSC EPG plugins are now available at http://www.fepg.org Description ----------- fEPG is a plugin for VDR that provides a graphical way of viewing and navigating through EPG data.

[ANNOUNCE] streamplayer-0.1.5, proxy-0.1.4, po2i18n-0.3
by Udo Richter 24 Feb '08

24 Feb '08

Hi list, After some delays, I've finally updated some of my stuff to the latest i18n standards of VDR. streamplayer-0.1.5 and proxy-0.1.4 now use the VDR-1.5.8+ compatible i18n system including backwards compatibility and all the latest newplugin changes. Also, both now have Italian translation thanks to Diego. Streamplayer-0.1.5 also fixes an UDP bug that caused crashes under certain conditions at playback start. po2i18n-0.3 has a new Makefile.diff that illustrates the use of the i18n.c generator based on a current newplugin based Makefile. Get it at: http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/streamplayer.en.html http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/proxy.en.html http://www.udo-richter.de/vdr/scripts.en.html#po2i18n Cheers, Udo

Any chance we can get ATSC tunner card support with the next branch of vdr? In 1 year from today it will replace all analog TV broadcast in the US.
