[vdr] [ANNOUNCE] vdr-xine-0.6.1 plugin

[Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de>]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce bugfix release 0.6.1:

    http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/vdr-xine-0.6.1.tgz

2004-12-10: Version 0.6.1

- Added vdr-xine option "-i NUM" which can be used to get two or more
  vdr-xine instances running on the same machine (in different VDR
  instances). The same option is available as "--vdr-instance=NUM" to
  xineplayer but there it must be the first argument to not conflict
  with any other options from mplayer.
- Fixed cXineDevice::StillPicture() to automatically add an PES video
  header if the given data doesn't contain one. As a result
  vdr-streamdev-* is now able to show an image while pausing Live-TV
  (thanks to Darren Salt for some hints on optimized coding).
- Fixed some special cases of dolby audio processing introduced in 0.5.3
  (thanks to Markus Maierhofer for reporting this issue).
- Moved option OSD_SCALING_MODE and DONT_CHANGE_XINE_VOLUME from
  Makefile to vdr-xine's setup. Therefore the same binary package can
  now be run on less powerful machines too.
- Integrated a large piece of xine-lib.patch into xine-lib-cvs. As a
  result the configure option --disable-exact-blending is gone and is
  now available as runtime configureable option
  "video.disable_exact_osd_alpha_blending".
- Updated xineI18n.h. Feel free to supply updates for other languages
  too.
- Updated INSTALL and MANUAL accordingly.
- Introduced xineCommon.h to handle poisend VDR source.
- Prepared xineI18n.h for additional languages.
- Added a setup option for adjusting OSD gamma correction when OSD
  scaling is necessary.
- Fixed xine part to no longer freeze when one connects to stale
  vdr-xine FIFOs.
- Fixed xine part to immediately react on the "stop" button in case
  where VDR doesn't send a stream to xine.
- The error message about missing noSignal.pes is now also logged via
  syslog as there was otherwise no indicater found in the logfile why
  VDR terminated that early.

This release requires the following xine-lib/-ui versions:

    http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-lib-cvs-20041210203300.tar.bz2
    http://home.vr-web.de/~rnissl/xine-ui-cvs-20041210203300.tar.bz2

Futhermore, a couple of VDR patches are recommended to get it working 
properly. At least apply the "highly recommended" patches to get rid of 
almost all FIXMEs:

Enjoy.

Bye.
