[vdr] AW: VDR version 1.2.5pre1 pre-release

["Robert Bartl" <robert@bartl.priv.at>]

Hy,

Vdr doesnt hang with 99% cpu anymore on my Machine (cause of the break i
think), but it doesnt yet detect closed connections correctly. After
closeing a connection without quit another connection isnt possible as
vdr is not accepting new ones, being still connected to the old one.

When i change the "r < 0" line before the lost connection message to "r
<= 0" it does work. (but issues a broken pipe error). The broken pipe
error would be easy to prevent (another close function or changed close
function behaviour), or would this change cause other errors on other
machines ?

Btw: do you see this error on your system too (im just telneting to port
2001 and killing telnet to force it), or did i configure my system
awkward ;) ?

Bye, robert.

> - Now explicitly handling exit value 0 and 2 in 'runvdr'.

> and Swedish (thanks
>   to Lauri Tischler and Ragnar Sundblad).
> - Added channels for DVB-T Hannover (Germany) to 
> channels.cont.terr (thanks to
>   Peter Waechtler).
> - Fixed a hangup in SVDRP when the client disappears without 
> sending QUIT (thanks
>   to Robert Bartl for reporting this one). The problem was 
> introduced in version
>   1.2.2 through the fix for an occasional "Broken pipe" error 
> in SVDRP connections.
> - Updated 'channels.conf.terr' for Berlin.
> - Fixed displaying still pictures, now using the driver's 
> VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call
>   directly (thanks to Oliver Endriss). This also improves 
> navigating through DVD
>   menus with the DVD plugin. If this causes problems with 
> your particular system
>   (maybe because you are using the 'analogtv' plugin) you can 
> reactivate the
>   previous behaviour by commenting out the line
>   #define VIDEO_STILLPICTURE_WORKS_WITH_VDR_FRAMES
>   in VDR/dvbdevice.c.
> - Fixed handling extra blanks in plugin command lines.
> - Actually implemented the SVDRP command DELC.
> - Now clearing the player device if there are too many poll 
> timeouts in 'Transfer
>   Mode', which avoids buffer overflows and black screens in 
> such cases.
> 
> If nobody finds any serious problems with this new version 
> I'd like to officially release it by wednesday.
