Locales not working by default when running from source tree
by Anssi Hannula 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Before one could just run "make" and after that you could just run ./vdr. However, now LOCDIR is set to $(PREFIX)/share/vdr/locale by default, which causes localisation to not work unless "make install-i18n" (or "make install" which runs it as well) is run, which copies the locale files to LOCDIR. However, almost exactly the opposite is the case with PLUGINLIBDIR, which by default is ./PLUGINS/lib so that it works inside the source-tree, but it is not so good if installed into /usr/local. AFAICS this is inconsistent. I think either VDR should work out-of-the-box (without modifying make variables) inside the source tree *or* out of the source tree. I.e. LOCDIR should be changed to "./locale" or PLUGINLIBDIR should be changed "$(PREFIX)/lib/vdr" or similar. Or make the i18n.c work with locales being either in LOCDIR or ./locale. It doesn't really matter to me, but for some other users the current state might be confusing. -- Anssi Hannula

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a problem with my Diablo CAM Modul. When I try to open the CAM Menu, vdr say, it open the menu. After ~ 3 sec. nothing is open and I can press OK and the channel info are displayed. In the logfile I found this: Aug 19 18:06:22 vdr vdr: [13306] warning: CAM-Menü wird geöffnet...

locale names, patch for large localedirs
by Anssi Hannula 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi! Very nice to see gettext() working, for a while I thought it was going to be a complete mess :) IMHO, two simple things could still be done: Attached is a simple patch that allows using VDR with large localedir that contains more locales than I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES. AFAICS there is no reason to stop searching unless I18N_MAX_LANGUAGES vdr locales were actually found. Also, it is a convention (all programs in my system follow it) that .po files (and thus the locale directory name) be without the territory name, i.e. fi instead of fi_FI. If there would be any additional translations for some language, they would be named like fi_DE. -- Anssi Hannula

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.8
by Klaus Schmidinger 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

VDR developer version 1.5.8 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.8.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.7-1.5.8.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 1.5.7: - Added missing install-i18n to the install target in the Makefile (reported by Joachim Wilke). - Fixed a faulty comment in Make.config.template (reported by Marco Schlüßler). - Improved i18n-to-gettext.pl (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Moved the "all" target in plugin Makefiles before the "Implicit rules", so that a plain "make" will compile everything (suggested by Matthias Schwarzott). The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly. Plugin authors may want to change their Makefiles, too. - Added DESTDIR and PREFIX handling to the Makefile (thanks to Matthias Schwarzott). - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Added internationalization to the "skincurses" plugin (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Checking the string for NULL in I18nTranslate(). - Updated the French OSD texts (thanks to Bruno Roussel). - Some optimizations in cDvbDevice::SetChannelDevice() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cMenuEditChrItem::Set() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Optimized cNitFilter::Process() (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Reduced the number of time(NULL) calls in vdr.c's main loop to a single call (thanks to Tobias Bratfisch). - Changed cBitmap::DrawText() to always draw the background unless ColorBg is clrTransparent (thanks to Christoph Haubrich). - The "Setup/OSD/Language" menu now only shows those languages that actually have a locale (suggested by Anssi Hannula). - Now using setenv() instead of setlocale() to set the language for gettext() (suggested by Anssi Hannula; thanks also to Ludwig Nussel for a hint on using _nl_msg_cat_cntr). - When scanning the locale directory, VDR now explicitly looks for a file named vdr.mo. Text files for plugins are now named "vdr-name.mo", when "name" is the name of the plugin. The "newplugin" script has been changed accordingly, and plugin authors should change their Makefiles, too. *When reporting problems, please don't reply to this message!* Create a new thread instead, using a descriptive subject! Have fun! Klaus

[ANNOUNCE] vdr-actuator-1.1.0 plugin
by Luca Olivetti 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hello, I'm releasing version 1.1.0 of the "actuator" plugin available at http://www.ventoso.org/luca/vdr/ This plugin controls a linear actuator (or an horizon to horizon one) through the parallel port with a simple circuit. The only change is the adaptation to the new translation method, so it only works with vdr 1.5.8 (not 1.5.7 since the name of the mo file has changed) Bye -- Luca

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.7
by Klaus Schmidinger 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

VDR developer version 1.5.7 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.7.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.6-1.5.7.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 1.5.6: - All logging now goes to LOG_ERR, because some systems split error, info and debug messages into separate files, which repeatedly caused extra efforts to find out when incomplete log excerpts were attached to problem reports in the past. - Updated the Estonian OSD texts (thanks to Arthur Konovalov). - Fixed a problem with characters >0x7F in the modified version of skipspace() (thanks to Marco Schlüßler). - Fixed a bug I introduced when simplifying the original patch for detecting Premiere NVOD channel links (crash reported by Malte Schröder). - Internationalization is now done with 'gettext' (following a suggestion by Lucian Muresan). Plugin authors may want to use the Perl script 'i18n-to-gettext.pl' to convert their internationalized texts to the gettext format (see the instructions inside that script file). The function cPlugin::RegisterI18n() is still present for compatibility, but doesn't have any more functionality. So plugins that don't convert their texts to the gettext format will only present English texts. See PLUGINS.html, section "Internationalization", for instructions on how to make strings in arrays translatable. See README.i18n for information on how to create new or maintain existing translations. - The three letter language codes and their aliases are stored in i18n.c, and each translation file only contains one of them to link that language name to the code. - The 'newplugin' script has been extended to generate the Makefile section for i18n support. - The parameter OSDLanguage in 'setup.conf' is now a string and holds the locale code of the selected OSD language (e.g. en_US). If Setup.OSDLanguage is not set to a particular locale that is found in VDR's locale directory, the locale as defined in the system environment is used by default. - The list of tracks given in cStatus::SetAudioTrack() is now NULL terminated, so that plugins can actually use all the strings in the list, not just the one pointed to by Index (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Fixed handling kLeft in the calls to cStatus::MsgOsdTextItem() (thanks to Alexander Rieger). - Added the "...or (at your option) any later version" phrase to the license information of all plugins, and also the 'newplugin' script (suggested by Ville Skyttä). Plugin authors may want to consider doing the same. - Fixed the link to the GPL2 at http://www.gnu.org in vdr.c (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - cBitmap::SetXpm() now checks whether the given Xpm pointer is not NULL, to avoid a crash with files that only contain "/* XPM */" (suggested by Andreas Mair). - Added a debug error message to cReceiver::~cReceiver() in case it is still attached to a device (thanks to Reinhard Nissl). Have fun! Klaus

vdr 1.4.7 woun't shutdown correctly
by Michael Nausch 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

HI, I#e some troubles with my "new testsystem". If I set a timer on my working VDR (vdr-1.4.5) I can see on syslog entries like: Aug 13 17:53:28 vdr vdr: [1017] executing '/usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown 1187118000 97592 46 "Dr. House" 0' Aug 18 04:21:24 vdr vdr: [1020] executing '/usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown 1187426100 22416 35 "Puppentrickfilm~Ralphi~Seilbahn" 1' But If I try to do the same on my testsystem (vdr-1.4.7) it won't work! On syslog I'll only see: Aug 18 17:21:59 tecvdr vdr: [1916] executing '/usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown 1187452313 1800 0 "" 1' Aug 18 17:40:51 tecvdr vdr: [1921] executing '/usr/local/bin/vdrshutdown 1187453445 1800 0 "" 1' The channel-number is everytime 0 an therer's no titel - so nvram-wakeup won't work! Any Idea? ciao, BC

Announce: mplayer.sh version 0.8.7
by Juri Haberland 19 Aug '07

19 Aug '07

Hi, this release mainly adds support for MPlayer versions newer than 1.0rc1. Unfortunately, I had to drop the support for MPlayer versions prior to 1.0pre series (0.9x...). This step was necessary, because current MPlayer development version stopped accepting the '-vop' option. The '-vf' option must be used instead. As usual you can get the new version of mplayer.sh from http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/VDR/ Changelog: - added 544x480 as valid NTSC resolution (thanks to C.Y.M) - removed 688x576 from the valid PAL resolutions; - calculate USE_SPEED with 30 fps instead of 29.97 - use '-vf' and '-af' instead of '-vop' and '-aop', as the latter are deprecated Enjoy, Juri
