[vdr] MP3/MPlayer plugin 0.9.9 (development)

[s.huelswitt@gmx.de (Stefan Huelswitt)]

Hi all,

a new version of the MP3/MPlayer plugins is available from my
homepage. This version fixes some ugly issues from previous
releases and add vdr 1.3.18 glue as well.

Due to the unexpected big changes in vdr, I'm forced to release
the current code now. Some of the new features are not realy
well test up to now, so expect failures there.

Please note that you need a 261d firmware or you have to compile
with BROKEN_PCM=1.

I also want to announce that in the near future (sure before
1.0.0) I'm going to drop 1.2.x compatibility (menu code is to
difficult to maintain for both branches).

NEWS:

10.01.2005: Version 0.9.9 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.18)
- Added global MPlayer resume file. This is used if the directory of the video
  file is not writeable. The global resume file is located in the video
  directory.
- Added DVD navigation to MPlayer slavemode. Due to this some other functions
  have been moved to new keys. See MANUAL file.
- Added some glue for vdr 1.3.18.
- Fixed saving of MPlayer setup option "ResumeMode". You can select if you want
  "local/global" or "global only" resume files too.
- Fixed thread deadlock in playmanager and non-blocking libsndfile reader
  (appearently only with some pthread versions) and high cpu usage of
  background scan thread when using libsndfile decoder. Thanks to Tobias Grimm
  for debugging.
- Removed workarounds for broken PCM handling in firmware (PCM pause &
  samplerate changes). This requires DVB firmware 261d-rc6 or newer. If you
  prefer to use an older firmware, you can use the make commandline option
  BROKEN_PCM=1 to enable old behaviour.
- Fixed handling of sym-links in source base path and playlists.
- Fixed path generation for "wide" sym-links.
- Replaced non-reentrant glibc functions with reentrant versions.
- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.

Regards.
