[ANNOUNCE] VDR version 2.7.2 released
by Klaus Schmidinger 27 Sep '24

27 Sep '24

VDR version 2.7.2 is now available at the official VDR GIT archive git://git.tvdr.de You can also get the latest stable version with git clone --branch stable/latest git://git.tvdr.de/vdr.git or as a tar archive with http://git.tvdr.de/?p=vdr.git;a=snapshot;h=stable/latest;sf=tbz2 The changes since version 2.7.1: - Fix for compilers that don't like non-constant format strings (thanks to Stefan Hofmann). - Deprecated code is now marked with [[deprecated]] to issue a compile time warning when used. - Made APIVERSION independent from VDRVERSION to avoid irritation in case only VDRVERSION is incremented (originally suggested by Winfried Köhler, with contributions from Lars Hanisch and Manuel Reimer). APIVERSNUM is now 30003. - Fixed a problem in cSchedule::Sort(), in case hasRunning was true, but there was no event with RunningStatus() >= SI::RunningStatusPausing (reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Silenced a compiler warning with gcc 14.1.0 (reported by Winfried Köhler). - Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto). - Moved error checking from recorder.c to remux.c. - The number of errors in a recording now represents the number of broken frames. - Now distinguishing between frames with errors and completely missing frames. - Recording errors are now marked in the index file. - Fixed description of cSkinDisplayReplay::SetRecording(). - Errors are now shown as diamond shaped markers in the replay progress display of the default skins. Plugin authors can switch to the new constructor of cProgressBar to benefit from this feature. Of course this only works with recordings that have error information stored in their index file. If you have existing recordings with errors and want them to be displayed in the progress bar, you can re-generate their index file, either by deleting the old index, or by running vdr with the --genindex option. APIVERSNUM is now 30004. - When the index file of a recording is regenerated, errors in the recording are now stored in the index file. - The info file of an edited recording now contains the number of errors in the edited version. Note that this applies only to recordings that have errors stored in their index file. If errors are not stored in the index file, the edited version will have its number of errors set to that of the original recording. APIVERSNUM is now 30005. - Fixed singular when displaying number of errors in the recording info. - Increased the bpp of cProgressBar to 4 to handle all different colors. - Fixed a problem with duplicate events if they are moved to a lower table ID and at the same time get a new event ID (reported by Markus Ehrnsperger). - Plugins need to be rebuilt.

Video Grabber) to the cx231xx driver. This device is similar to the 1D19:6109, and I have tested it successfully on my system: * Video Capture: CONFIRMED WORKING in OBS & VLC. * Audio Capture: CONFIRMED WORKING via command `arecord -D hw:1,0 -f S16_LE -r 48000 -c 2 audio_capture_test.wav`. The sole modification is including a new entry to the device ID table, which can be found in `drivers/media/usb/cx231xx/cx231xx-cards.c`. I have verified that both video and audio capture are functioning as expected. Signed-off-by: Rohan Barar rohan.barar(a)gmail.com Thank you for considering my patch! Best regards, Rohan Barar

[ANNOUNCE] VDR version 2.7.1 released
by Klaus Schmidinger 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

VDR version 2.7.1 is now available at the official VDR GIT archive git://git.tvdr.de You can also get the latest stable version with git clone --branch stable/latest git://git.tvdr.de/vdr.git or as a tar archive with http://git.tvdr.de/?p=vdr.git;a=snapshot;h=refs/tags/2.7.1;sf=tbz2 The changes since version 2.6.9: - Removed deprecated function cDevice::SetCurrentChannel(const cChannel *Channel). - Removed deprecated function cSkinDisplayMenu::SetItemEvent(const cEvent *Event, int Index, bool Current, bool Selectable, const cChannel *Channel, bool WithDate, eTimerMatch TimerMatch). - Removed deprecated functions from cFile. - The default for DEPRECATED_SCHEDULE_GET_EVENT has been set to 0, which means that the function GetEvent(tEventID EventID, time_t StartTime = 0) is no longer available. You can add 'DEPRECATED_SCHEDULE_GET_EVENT=1' when compiling in order to restore this functionality. However, it is recommended to use GetEventById() and GetEventByTime() instead. - The default for DEPRECATED_SECTIONSYNCER_SYNC_REPEAT has been set to 0, which means that the functions Repeat() and Sync() are no longer available. You can add 'DEPRECATED_SECTIONSYNCER_SYNC_REPEAT=1' when compiling in order to restore this functionality. However, it is recommended to use Check() and Processed() instead. - The default for DEPRECATED_CCONTROL has been set to 0, which means that the function Control(bool Hidden) is no longer available. You can add 'DEPRECATED_CCONTROL=1' when compiling in order to restore this functionality. However, it is recommended to use Control(cMutexLock &MutexLock, bool Hidden) instead. - Changed the error message when trying to attach a player to a primary device without an MPEG decoder. - The new SVDRP command 'AUDI' can be used to list the currently available audio tracks and select one of them. - Fixed a crash when deleting a recording that is currently being edited, and then immediately deleting the edited version, too (reported by Marko Mäkelä). - The '.update' file in the video directory is now created if it doesn't already exist. - Improved the error message when closing a frontend (thanks to Markus Ehrnsperger). - There will be no more distinction between "developer" and "stable" versions regarding version numbering. Version numbers are simply counted upwards, with each of the three parts ("version", "major", "minor") always being a single digit, and '0' being skipped. - Plugins that have been built with API version 2.6.9 do not need to be rebuilt.
