[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.10
by Klaus Schmidinger 16 Oct '07

16 Oct '07

VDR developer version 1.5.10 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.10.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.9-1.5.10.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. The changes since version 1.5.9: - Implemented handling DVB subtitles (thanks to Marco Schlüßler, and also to Pekka Virtanen for writing the subtitle plugin, which helped in implementing subtitle handling in VDR). - The new remote control key "Subtitles" can be used to bring up the list of available subtitles. - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle languages" can be used to define the preferred languages for subtitles. - Fixed selecting the audio track when pressing Ok in the Audio menu (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Implemented display of DVB subtitles in live viewing mode. - Implemented subtitle track selection. - Implemented bitmap color reduction and shrinking to display subtitles even on devices that can't display the necessary number of colors. - Added compatibility mode for playback of recordings made with the subtitles plugin (with some help from Rolf Ahrenberg). - The new setup option "DVB/Subtitle offset" can be used to shift the location of the subtitles in the vertical direction. - The new setup options "DVB/Subtitle foreground/background transparency" define an additional level of transparency for the foreground and background color of subtitles. - Existing recordings made with the subtitle plugin can be given an 'X' record in their info.vdr file, so that subtitles can be automatically selected upon replay, according to the preferred language setup, as in X 3 03 ger deutsch (see vdr.5). Note that these entries need to be added in the proper sequence, so that they correspond with the actual track languages in the recording. - Now generating translation files without line numbers to avoid unnecessarily large diffs. Plugin authors may want to replace the -F option with --no-location in the xgettext and msgmerge calls in their Makefiles. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added a missing Channels.SetModified(true) call when deleting or moving a channel in the Channels menu (reported by Halim Sahin). - Fixed a missing '-' at the next to last line of SVDRP help texts (reported by Denis Knauf). - Added a missing SetVolumeDevice() call in cDevice::SetPrimaryDevice() (reported by Reinhard Nissl). - Fixed a crash when pressing Left while at the first character of a cMenuEditStrItem (thanks to Christian Wieninger). - Only creating a new cDvbOsdProvider in cDvbDevice::MakePrimaryDevice() if 'On' is true (i.e. this device is being made the primary device). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Fixed handling reallocated memory in cCharSetConv::Convert() (reported by Udo Richter). - Fixed a new[]/delete mismatch in cMenuEditStrItem::LeaveEditMode() (thanks to Udo Richter). - Implemented sending all frames to devices that can handle them in fast forward trick speeds (thansk to Timo Eskola). - Updated the Hungarian language texts (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Fixed description of DeviceSetAvailableTrack() and cReceiver(), and added an example ~cMyReceiver() in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Improved the description of where logging goes in the INSTALL file (thanks to Elias Luttinen). - Added a note about how to initiate internationalization support to the README.i18n file. The Makefile generated by the 'newplugin' script now has the 'i18n' target automatically create an initial 'po/pluginname.pot' file. Plugin authors may want to add the '$(I18Npot)' dependency to the 'i18n' target in their Makefiles, as in i18n: $(I18Npot) $(I18Nmo) (based on a suggestion by Torsten Kunkel). - Removed a duplicate ',' from the ca_ES.po file (thanks to Thomas Günther). - Added the 'ß' character to the "allowed charcaters" in the de_DE.po file (suggested by Thomas Günther). - Made the default copy ctor of cRecording private (thanks to Markus Hahn). Same for the assign operator. - Added cRecording::Undelete() (based on a patch from Markus Hahn). - Added cDevice::CloseFilter() to allow a device to have complete control over both opening and closing section filters (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Some fixes to PLUGINS.html (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus

Not good behaviour from vdr
by JJussi 15 Oct '07

15 Oct '07

Hi! Yesterday, here at Southern Finland one of the TV channels had "cut out" at DVB stream (like half hour). And because that stream disapeared little after than recoding has started, VDR started to restart itself every minute because there was no stream... What is point to that, that VDR do restart IF there is no stream what it should record.. That affected to all other recordings too because vdr was restarting itself constantly. Not good! Is there "setting" somewhere where you can say that "do not" restart if there is no stream. -- JJussi

Thank you Klaus
by Josce Unknown 15 Oct '07

Thank you Klaus for the Subtitles. I have been hoping for this since I first started using vdr some years ago. (I can handle English and German speaking films quite well, but Akira Kurosawa's masterpieces are quite difficult without subtitles.) Since I know you don't need the subtitles I am very gratefull for your effort on this! And a big thank you to Pekka Virtanen whose subititles plugin made it possible for me to use the vdr during these years. Now I just have to find a slot when no one in my family is using the vdr so I can upgrade it.

[PATCH] Make kPlay start playback from recording list
by Ville Skyttä 14 Oct '07

14 Oct '07

Hello, After about three years of VDR use, I still quite often try to start playback of a recording from the recordings view using the play button, swear for a bit, and then hit ok. I couldn't think of a reason why play wouldn't start the playback, so here's a tiny patch against VDR 1.4.7 that implements it.

2 dvb-s cards with different feeds
by Rob Davis 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

I would like to know if its possible to have two dvb-s cards connected to different disecq setups? For example, for card 1 to have: 1 - HotBird 2 - Astra 19 3 - Astra 28 Whereas, card 2 would have: 1 - Hotbird 2 - Astra 19 Without it all going pear shaped? If so, how do you reflect that in the setup?

Crash with cMenuEditStrItem in vdr-1.5.9
by Christian Wieninger 13 Oct '07

13 Oct '07

Hi, me and Rolf Ahrenberg noticed that there seems to be a problem with cMenuEditStrItem in vdr-1.5.9. To reproduce it just call the timer edit menu and hit 'left' on the directory item or any other cMenuEditStrItem object. The following patch should fix this: --- vdr-1.5.9/menuitems.c 2007-08-17 15:48:07.000000000 +0200 +++ VDR/menuitems.c 2007-09-29 09:02:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -500,7 +500,7 @@ pos--; newchar = true; } - if (!insert && Utf8is(alpha, valueUtf8[pos])) + if (pos >= 0 && !insert && Utf8is(alpha, valueUtf8[pos])) uppercase = Utf8is(upper, valueUtf8[pos]); break; case kRight|k_Repeat: It happens here that pos is -1. Strange that the old code of previous vdr versions if (!insert && isalpha(value[pos])) uppercase = isupper(value[pos]); had no problem there. BR, Christian

Hello. Where can I start with getting per-movie pay-tv channels working under DVB-C? I have a TT-2300C with Alphacrypt CAM, and can receive all encrypted channels. Can't get the pay-tv movies, get the following CAM message: CAM 1 - AlphaCrypt Sat 06.10 20:19 You are not entitled to receive this programme ! Press OK Where do I start? (I'm the first person to try this in NZ) Thanks. Running vdr 1.5.6

diff and po-files = huge patches?
by Torsten Kunkel 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Hi, while working on a patch I noticed a small problem creating such a patch with the "new" translation. When adding new translations, you have to call "make i18n" in order to get the translation generated to the gettext-files, but when doing this, all linenumbers get updated. The diff looks like this (just an example): x--x--x--x--x [...] -#: keys.c:63 +#: keys.c:64 msgid "Key$User6" msgstr "Benutzer6" -#: keys.c:64 +#: keys.c:65 msgid "Key$User7" msgstr "Benutzer7" -#: keys.c:65 +#: keys.c:66 msgid "Key$User8" msgstr "Benutzer8" [...] x--x--x--x--x Because of this, a patch of about 5kb will have about 150kb because of these changes. What is the best way to avoid this? The only way I can think of is to generate the files with "make i18n" and then copy the new parts to a temporary file, after this discard the generated files, copy over the orignal ones and add the changes from the temp-file to them. But this much more work than just running diff. Is there a better way to do a diff with new/changed translations? Greetings Torsten
