VDR developer version 1.3.17 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.3.17.tar.bz2
*** NOTE THAT THE WARNINGS REGARDING THE USE OF VPS CONTROLLED
*** TIMERS FROM PREVIOUS RELEASE NOTES STILL APPLY!
The changes since version 1.3.16:
- Fixed cRemux::ScanVideoPacket() to make sure it doesn't access memory beyond
the end of the given buffer, which has caused some unjustified "unknown
picture type errors" (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
- Fixed a possible crash when pausing live video and the recording was unable
to start, maybe because there was no lock on the device (thanks to Andreas
Brugger for reporting this one).
- Fixed some characters in the iso8859-2 font file (thanks to Dino Ravnic).
- Fixed some errors in the Croatian language texts (thanks to Dino Ravnic).
- Fixed a possible recursion in cControl::Shutdown() (thanks to Sascha Volkenandt).
- Now setting the VPID before the APID in live mode to avoid unnecessary
overhead in the firmware (thanks to Werner Fink).
- Now checking available OSD memory at runtime (thanks to Oliver Endriss).
- Fixed some typos in the Makefile's 'font' target (thanks to Olaf Titz).
- Fixed handling childTid in cThread to avoid possible race conditions (thanks
to Stefan Huelswitt for pointing this out).
- Fixed toggling the "Day" item in the "Timers" menu, so that it selects the
right day of week for timers in the future.
- Some improvements to cPoller (thanks to Marco Schlüßler).
The DVB driver I am currently using can be found at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Devel…ux-dvb.2004-11-17.tar.bz2
which is the CVS 'HEAD' version from 2004-11-17, plus the latest firmware
changes from Werner Fink ("0.9b"), made available as a complete archive for your
convenience. Note that I'm still using the "old" DVB driver, because the
dvb-kernel driver is still giving me trouble (as can be read on the linux-dvb
mailing list under "Problem switching transponder in linux_2_4").
Of course, you can also use any newer driver version.
Have fun!
