by Klaus Schmidinger 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

VDR developer version 1.7.39 is now available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.39.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous version is available at ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.38-1.7.39.diff MD5 checksums: 3f0681f4aa6bd8deffc8208c40d34d2d vdr-1.7.39.tar.bz2 1c13a683694c6c3c52444c1689477876 vdr-1.7.38-1.7.39.diff 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. Approaching version 2.0.0: ========================== If all goes well, there will be just one more developer version after this one, and then it's going to be version 2.0.0. The changes since version 1.7.38: - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Updated the Polish OSD texts (thanks to Marek Nazarko). - Modified handling user inactivity in the shutdown handler to avoid a problem in case the system time is changed after VDR has been started (thanks to Udo Richter, reported by Sören Moch). - Updated the Czech OSD texts (thanks to Ales Jurik). - Changed the template for PLGCFG to $(CONFDIR)/plugins.mk (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Updated the Swedish OSD texts (thanks to Richard Lithvall). - Now clearing device bondings for devices that don't provide DVB-S in the Setup/LNB menu (reported by Juergen Lock). - Fixed a possible deadlock in handling the tuners of bonded devices (thanks to Juergen Lock). - Improved working around the broken driver values for SNR in case of a "TT-budget S2-3200" receiving DVB-S2. - The demos in the "osddemo" plugin can now also be ended with the "Back" key. - Fixed flashing OSD in "high level OSD" mode of the TT S2-6400 in case a menu is open while subtitles are being displayed. - Fixed stuttering or asynchronous audio after changing the audio track. This is done by doing a "jump" to the current position, which clears all buffers. However, this only works with TS recordings. With PES recordings it causes a segfault - haven't been able to figure out why. - Added a manual page for 'svdrpsend' (thanks to Tobias Grimm). - Fixed immediately disappearing subtitle track menu in "high level OSD" mode of the TT S2-6400 when selecting "No subtitles". - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bernard Jaulin). - Updated the Dutch OSD texts (thanks to Carel Willemse). - Removed all "fuzzy" translations from the files ar.po, hu_HU.po and sr_SR.po, because more often than not they are just wrong. - Now calling DeviceClear() in cTransfer::Receive() if the output device blocks, instead of not retrying for 10 seconds (reported by Andreas Mair, with help from Oliver Endriss). - Updated the Spanish OSD texts (thanks to Luca Olivetti). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to István Füley). - Changed the calls to Skins.QueueMessage() in vdr.c that are related to reporting the status of the editing process back to Skins.Message() in order to have them appear immediately. - When sorting recordings by name, folders are now always at the top of the list. - Updated the Russian OSD texts (thanks to Oleg Roitburd). Have fun! Klaus

TT 6400 S2 and DVB subtitles/OSD redraw problem
by Heikki Manninen 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello, this is probably a driver issue but does anyone here have experienced the OSD issue with the TechnoTrend 6400 S2 full-featured card when used as output? The problem is that for example an open VDR menu will disappear everytime a new DVB subtitling "sequence" is drawn. Also new subtitles are "overwritten" on top of the old ones, without clearing.

Looking for a new Danish translator for VDR texts
by Klaus Schmidinger 02 Mar '13

02 Mar '13

Since the previous (and only) maintainer of the Danish translation of VDR texts doesn't have time for this any more, I'm looking for some Danish speaking VDR user who might be willing to complete the translation of the file da_DK.po. If you're interested, please get the latest version of that file from ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.7.38.tar.bz2 and send me the edited version, so that it can be included in the upcoming VDR version 2.0.0 release.

osdteletext and constant disk access with 1.7.38
by Ville Skyttä 01 Mar '13

01 Mar '13

Hello, With 1.7.38, when viewing a channel that has teletext, it seems that the disk is accessed and timestamps of the stored *.vtx files change all the time. I happened to notice this from the HDD LED of my VDR box that now blinks all the time when viewing such a channel. I don't think this happened with VDR 1.7.31 but I have no trivially easy way to downgrade and check it at the moment. It's definitely the osdteletext plugin; disabling it makes the disk accesses go away. Can someone confirm and/or have ideas what might be causing this and if the osdteletext plugin needs some adjustments to behave properly with new VDR versions?
