[vdr] VDR version 1.2.3 pre-release

There have been a few fixes and enhancements to VDR 1.2.2 which I'd like to make available in this maintenance release. Before I upload this to the official release directory I would appreciate if some of you could find the time to look over it in the VDR Developer directory.

The complete VDR version 1.2.3 is available for download at

ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.2.3.tar.bz2

The file

ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.2.2-1.2.3.diff

contains the complete 'diff' between versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, in case you want to apply the individual fixes to an existing (maybe patched) installation (of course the line numbers may be off then, but I thought providing the 'diff' might be useful).

If nobody finds any serious problems with this new version I'd like to officially release it by wednesday.

Have fun!

HISTORY 2003-08-17: Version 1.2.3
--------------------

- Fixed the TS to PES repacker so that it works with MPEG1 streams (thanks to
Andreas Kool).
- Fixed keeping track of the current channel number when moving channels in
the "Channels" menu (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting this one).
- Made the plugin library directory configurable via Make.config (thanks to
Ludwig Nussel).
- Fixed scaling SPU bitmaps in Letterbox mode when playing NTSC material.
In order to do this, the cDevice was given a new member function GetVideoSystem().
- Fixed two warnings when compiling with gcc 3.3.1 (thanks to Alfred Zastrow for
reporting this).
- Made crc32() a static function in libdtv/libsi/si_parser.c to avoid a name clash
when using other libraries that also implement a function by that name (thanks
to Reinhard Nissl for reporting this one).
- Fixed staying off the end of an ongoing recording while replaying in time shift
mode (thanks to Rainer Zocholl for reporting this one).
- VDR now stops with exit status 2 if one of the configuration files can't be
read correctly at program startup (suggested by Rainer Zocholl).
- Fixed a crash when starting "Pause live video" twice within the same minute on
the same channel.
- Fixed freezing replay if a timer starts while in Transfer Mode from the device
used by the timer, and the timer needs a different transponder (thanks to
Richard Robson for reporting this one).
- Fixed toggling channels with the '0' key (thanks to Mirko Günther for reporting
this one).
- Made the "Zap timeout" (the time until a channel counts as "previous" for
switching with '0') a setup variable, available in "Setup/Miscellaneous"
(suggested by Helmut Auer).
- Removing deleted recordings faster than normal when cutting, to avoid running
out of disk space (thanks to Manfred Schmidt-Voigt for reporting this one).
