Hi,
after being away 7 month from VDR development I'm pleased to announce release 0.9.0. You can find it on my homepage as usual:
Excerpt from HISTORY:
2009-01-12: Version 0.9.0
- Updated INSTALL and MANUAL accordingly. - Fixed several multithreading issues which got triggered on SMP systems (thanks to Edgar (gimli) Hucek for reporting issues and testing fixes). - Added support for VDR-1.7.3 besides TS still pictures. - Pulled patched VDR-1.7.2's remux.[ch] for a quick adaption to to VDR-1.7.3 (thanks to Klaus Schmidinger for his approval). - Fixed PTS handling in xine-lib's FFmpeg decoder for recent FFmpeg versions which should provide better A/V sync now. - Added patch sets to input_vdr.c which allow to omit parts of the MRL, e. g. vdr:// should be sufficient now (thanks to Ludwig Nussel for providing them). - Make use of new OSD functionality in xine-lib-1.2. For now an OSD implementation must provide both new features to have vdr-xine make use of it. - Extended OSD support in xine-lib-1.2 to allow truecolor OSDs as well as hardware scaled OSDs. The new functionality is currently only provided by VDPAU enabled installations. - Added frame grabbing support for accelerated frame formats to xine-lib. Previously, xine-lib exitted the app when frame grabbing was requested for accelerated frame formats like xxmc. You'll now get a green image in that case. Reading back the content of an accelerated frame is currently only provided by VDPAU enabled installations. - Hacked support for VDR-1.7.1's new cDevice::PlayTs() method. - Grab image nolonger needs pnmcut to select the relevant area of the TV image. Besides that, grab image respects the aspect ratio you select in VDR's setup menu, i. e. a 16:9 setup and a 16:9 broadcast will grab you a image without black borders. A mismatch of aspect ratios will add black borders to the image to match the visual impression you get on your TV set. Additionally, the grabbing of field pictures was corrected with regard to color upsampling. - A script mkNoSignal.sh is provided to create custom logos. Just provide PNG files named noSignal16x9*.png (and ...4x3... respectively) and have the tools mentioned in INSTALL in your path. You'll have to move your custom logos then over the default files. - The vdr-xine logo is now available in two aspect ratios (4:3 and 16:9) as more channels provide 16:9 content. Then vdr-xine selects the logo which matches VDR's DVB setup option video format. - Added the ability to detect discontinuities in live TV and to start a new buffering period in such a case. This will help to resume to fluent playback from bad weather conditions or when disconnecting and reattaching the antenna cable. - Updated it_IT.po (thanks to Diego Pierotto for providing the translations).
Enjoy.
