[vdr] VDR developer version 1.1.7
VDR developer version 1.1.7 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.1.7.tgz
This version is directed towards developers who want to implement
plugins for VDR. The "stable" version for every day use is still 1.0.4.
Please read the file VDR/PLUGINS.html, which gives an overview of the
plugin interface and how to create your own plugins.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
===============
This version still has some limitations (see below) and is considered highly
experimental! USE IT WITH GREAT CARE AND UNDER CONTROLLED CONDITIONS BEFORE
RELYING ON IT FOR EVERY DAY USE!
The changes since version 1.1.6:
- Adapted VDR to the NEWSTRUCT driver. To use the new driver, compile VDR with
'make NEWSTRUCT=1' (thanks to Holger Wächtler for some valuable advice).
By default it currently still uses the old driver.
- Added some missing #includes (thanks to Martin Hammerschmid).
- Changed the log error message "can't record MPEG1!" to "error in data stream!",
since the mentioning of MPEG1 has irritated many people.
- Consistently using malloc/free and new/delete (thanks to Andreas Schultz).
- Temporarily made cDevice::ProvidesCa() virtual (Andreas Schultz needs this
in his DXR3 plugin).
- cDevice no longer exposes a file handle to cPlayer. A derived cPlayer class
can now call DevicePoll() to see whether the replay device is ready for
further data. A derived cDevice class must implement Poll() and shall
check if any of its file handles is ready for data.
- Implemented several replay modes to allow players that play only audio (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt).
- Improved cCondVar::Wait() and implemented cCondVar::TimedWait() (thanks to
Stefan Huelswitt).
- VDR no longer gives up if there is no DVB device. It continues to work if
there is at least one device, either a DVB device found by the core VDR code
itself, or a device implemented by a plugin.
- The following limitations apply to this version:
+ The '-a' option (for Dolby Digital audio) doesn't work yet.
+ Switching between different language tracks doesn't work yet.
Have fun!
