This version fixes a few bugs that came up after the release of version 2.4.0.
The changes since version 2.4.0:
- Fixed handling the tfRecording flag in the SVDRP commands MODT and UPDT (reported by Johann Friedrichs). - Fixed a possible invalid locking sequence in case a remote timer handling error message is displayed on the OSD and the skin tries to lock the Recordings or DeletedRecordings list in its Flush() function (for instance by calling cVideoDiskUsage::HasChanged()). To do this, the call to Skins.Message() in menu.c's HandleRemoteModifications() has been changed to Skins.QueueMessage(), and cSkins::ProcessQueuedMessages() is now called unconditionally in the main loop, and checks whether the current cSkinDisplay object (if any) implements SetMessage(). - Fixed locking the Channels list in cDisplayChannel, where the lock was still held when Flush() was called (reported by Matthias Senzel and Uwe Scheffler). - Fixed shutdown after user inactivity in case a plugin is keeping the OSD open (reported by Ulrich Eckhardt). - Fixed switching through encrypted channels with the Up/Down keys (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Now deactivating MTD support if a non MCD capable CAM is inserted after removing a previously used CAM that is MCD capable (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Added support for DVB devices with more than one frontend that all use the same dvr and demux. Note that in order for this to work, you must not set symbolic links like "demux1 -> demux0" and "dvr1 -> dvr0", as is mentioned in some user manuals of multi frontend DVB cards. - Reverted the change "The EIT filter no longer parses data from "other TS"...". It led to missing EPG data on channels from Canal Digital Norway (reported by Stian B. Barmen). - Fixed accessing the actual frontend on multi frontend devices (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed opening the UDP port in peerdemo (thanks to Robert Hannebauer). - Fixed handling PATs that contain no PMTs. - Fixed processing the last entry in the scan list of the EIT scanner (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed processing transponder data in the NIT (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed triggering the SDT filter when parsing the NIT (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Added support for EAC3 audio from other sources (thanks to Jürgen Schneider). - No longer logging tuning timeouts for transponders that are announced in the NIT but are not currently broadcasting. - Fixed processing SI::T2DeliverySystemDescriptor when typecasting it over an SI::ExtensionDescriptor (reported by Helmut Binder). - Fixed sorting recordings alphabetically. - Fixed dropping capabilities in case cap_sys_time is not available. - Fixed updating the cursor position when switching channels with the Channel+/- keys while the Channels menu is open. - Fixed handling shared CA pids (thanks to Onur Sentürk). - Now touching the .update file in the video directory after removing deleted recordings, so that other VDRs that use the same video directory will update their list of (deleted) recordings and thus won't display too much empty disk space. - Fixed the install target in case of multiple jobs (thanks to Chris Mayo). - Fixed mapping SIDs in MTD (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed updating the checksum in the CA table after mapping EMM PIDs for MTD (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed a compiler warning in ExchangeChars() (thanks to Helmut Binder). - Fixed a compiler warning and a possible buffer overflow in cCiMMI::SendAnswer(). - Fixed a possible invalid lock sequence if the main menu is open and the user switches to a channel that is currently not available, using the Channel+/- keys. - Fixed handling remote timers in case the response to LSTT is '550 No timers defined'. - Fixed a compiler warning in cIndexFile::ConvertToPes() and added __attribute__((packed)) to tIndexPes and tIndexTs (suggested by Helmut Binder). - Fixed handling repeat function for keyboards. - Added a workaround for broadcasters who set an event to status "not running" where this is inappropriate; implicitly setting events to "not running" is now also logged. - Fixed asserting free disk space in case there is no local timer currently recording. - The default maximum size of a cPixmap has been raised to the maximum possible value. - Increased PLAYERBUFSIZE to (MAXFRAMESIZE * 5) to avoid stuttering replay under heavy system load, and to better document that this buffer size is related to the maximum frame size. - Fixed inconsistent behavior in case only certain devices are used (selected by the '-D' option). - Fixed a wrong variable name in cFileName::cFileName(). - If cSkins::Message() is called from a background thread and Type is not mtStatus, the call is now automatically forwarded to QueueMessage(). - Fixed handling the S2SatelliteDeliverySystemDescriptor for transponders broadcasting in "backwards compatibility mode" according to ETSI EN 300 468 (thanks to Onur Sentürk).
Have fun!
