[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.5
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

VDR developer version 1.5.5 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.5.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.4-1.5.5.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 1.5.4: - Fixed a name clash between skincurses.c and the new cOsd position functions. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the parameter "OSD font size" to "Default font size" in "Setup/OSD". - Fixed handling address masks in SVDRP host settings (thanks to Frank Schmirler). - Fonts can now be created with a width that overwrites the default width (thanks to Andreas Mair). - Added full weekday names to i18n.c for plugins to use (thanks to Patrice Staudt). The new function WeekDayNameFull() can be used to get these names from integer values (just like the abbreviated weekday names). - Fixed stripping i18n stuff from font names (reported by Anssi Hannula). - Improved performance of the SVDRP commands LSTC and CHAN when used with a channel name. I'll be on vacation for the next three weeks, so there won't be anything new in a while ;-) Have fun! Klaus

[ANNOUNCE] VDR developer version 1.5.4
by Klaus Schmidinger 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

VDR developer version 1.5.4 is now available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.4.tar.bz2 A 'diff' against the previous developer version is available at ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.5.3-1.5.4.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 1.5.3: - Increased APIVERSION (forgot to do that in 1.5.2 and 1.5.3). - Fixed a crash in i18n character set conversion (thanks to Alexander Riedel, Jose Alberto Reguero and Christian Wieninger for patches that cured part of the problem). - Adjusted the 'skincurses' plugin to UTF-8 handling. - Using nl_langinfo(CODESET) to determine the local codeset to use (thanks to Thomas Günther). The codeset names in 'libsi/si.c' have been changed to the canonical spelling with '-' (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for pointing this out). - Modified handling invalid characters in VFAT mode. - Replaced strn0cpy() with Utf8Strn0Cpy() where necessary. - Now using 'fontconfig' to determine which fonts to use (thanks to Anssi Hannula for code and hints on how to do this). - If no fonts are installed, VDR now uses a dummy font that doesn't actually draw any text, and logs an error message. - The new function cFont::CreateFont() can be used by plugins to create and use fonts of their own, independent of VDR's standard fonts. - Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg). - Changed the parameter "OSD font" to "Default font" in "Setup/OSD" (suggested by Rolf Ahrenberg). - Fixed handling detached processes in SystemExec() (thanks to Udo Richter). - The info.vdr file now also stores the name of the channel, and the new function cRecordingInfo::ChannelName() returns this information if available (based on a patch from Alexander Hans). - The new function cOsd::SetOsdPosition() can be used to dynamically change the position and size of the OSD (based on a request from Christoph Haubrich). Plugins that implement skins should no longer use Setup.OSDWidth etc. directly, but should rather use cOsd::OsdWidth() etc. instead. Currently a change to the OSD position will only apply to newly opened OSDs. Have fun! Klaus

PiP
by Tony Houghton 23 Jun '07

23 Jun '07

Has anyone thought about VDR supporting PiP (picture-in-picture)? It would be quite useful, but perhaps not enough to justify the work. Supporting all outputs, FF cards in particular, would require a lot of processing power to decode two streams then encode the superimposed version back to MPEG 2. Having the feature in Xine would be a lor more practical, but of course then Xine would need work done to support it. But I think it would be trivial for it to superimpose two decoded pictures compared to recoding the MPEG. -- TH * http://www.realh.co.uk

Request: Extension of menu button
by Sebastian Kemper 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hello all, hello Klaus, I'm going to buy a new remote, the URC 7240 Big Easy 4. http://www.oneforall.de/?pag=40&prodnr=37 It has basically every button one needs, only the Exit button is missing. Would it be possible to extend the functionality of the menu button in a way that it acts like the exit button in case the OSD is currently active? Something like this maybe: < no OSD > press menu button < OSD menu opens > press 1 < program info opens > press menu < OSD drops back to menu > press menu < OSD vanishes > I know some people like to use the menu key to close the OSD instantly. So maybe an option to change between the two different behaviours would be nice. I think it would be cool. Even for people who have an exit button this could be helpful. Maybe their menu and exit buttons are a little far apart or their exit button is hard to fumble for. Regards Sebastian

Splited recordings problem
by Adrian C. 22 Jun '07

22 Jun '07

Hello, I have a problem with my VDR setup. I didn't record anything in a long time (since 1.3.x was in use, then everything was ok) and just recently realised I have a problem. Anything I record get's splited into numerous pieces (like VDR is recording every frame into diffrent file)... so when I try to playback a recording I don't get smooth playback but something like slow motion. To check some plugin is not the cause of this, I started VDR with only xine plugin enabled and tried to record something. Same thing happened. Could it be that I have some wrong settings in my config file (I didn't changed practicly anything since I've used 1.3.x). Can someone pinpoint what could be the problem? I'm using VDR 1.4.7 with xine plugin 0.7.10 (xine-lib 1.1.3). I have a dish with two LNBs (pointed at 19.2E and 13E). regular diseqc switch. I'm using the same kernel/drivers for a long time (2.6.18), so nothing changed there. Only thing that was changed are VDR versions, I've applied patches as they got announced on this list My diseqc settings look like this: S19.2E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F0] W15 A W15 t ... S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 38 F4] W15 B W15 t ... If someone would help me, please tell me if you need more information, thank you.

VDR 1.5.4 [PATCH]: skincurses.c doesn't compile
by Klaus Schmidinger 17 Jun '07

17 Jun '07

The attached patch fixes a name clash between skincurses.c and the new position functions in cOsd. Guess I should have compiled the plugin once again after having made this last minute change... Klaus
