WARNING:
This is a *developer* version. Even though *I* use it in my productive
environment. I strongly recommend that you only use it under controlled
conditions and for testing and debugging.
The default skin LCARS displays the signal strengths and qualities of
all devices in its main menu. For devices that have an stb0899 frontend chip
(like the TT-budget S2-3200) retrieving this information from the driver is
rather slow, which results in a sluggish response to user input in the main
menu. To speed this up you may want to apply the patches from
ftp://ftp.tvdr.de/vdr/Developer/Driver-Patches
to the LinuxDVB driver source.
The changes since version 1.7.28:
- Added a missing template specification to the c'tor of cSortedTimers (thanks
to Udo
Richter).
- Fixed the background color of the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS
skin.
- The LCARS skin now only displays devices that can actually receive channels,
leaving
out, for instance, pure replay devices (suggested by Reinhard Nissl).
- Now scaling down the Transfer Mode indicator bitmap in the LCARS skin in case
it
doesn't fit with the selected font size (reported by Reinhard Nissl).
- Fixed making LCARS the default skin.
- Adjusted the default values for OSD and font sizes to better fit HDTV.
- Updated the Finnish OSD texts (thanks to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Fixed the call to ChannelString() in cSkinLCARSDisplayChannel::SetChannel()
(thanks
to Rolf Ahrenberg).
- Removed DeleteEvent() from the EPG handler interface (turned out not to be
useful)
and replaced it with HandledExternally() (thanks to Jörg Wendel).
- Added SetComponents() to the EPG handler interface (thanks to Dirk Heiser).
- Updated the Italian OSD texts (thanks to Diego Pierotto).
- Changed the button colors in the LCARS skin to better fit with the rest of
the theme.
- Removed the gap from the main menu buttons in the LCARS skin.
- Fixed some copypaste errors in PLUGINS.html (thanks to Winfried Köhler).
- The LCARS skin's main menu now only displays timers that are actually
activated.
- Within the Recordings menu, pressing the '0' key now toggles sorting between
by time and by name. The selected sort mode is stored separately for each
folder (provided you have write access to that folder).
If a folder is newly created by a repeating timer, the sort mode for that
folder is initially set to by time.
- Fixed several spelling errors (thanks to Ville Skyttä).
- Fixed handling recording with more than two bonded devices.
- Fixed the type of MBperMinute in cVideoDiskUsage::HasChanged() (thanks to
Andreas
Mair).
- Setting the broken link or TEI flags when cutting recordings is now
suppressed
if the editing point merges two seamlessly fitting parts of the same stream
(thanks
to Torsten Lang).
- Fixed displaying messages in the LCARS skin.
- Fixed checking for a visible live programme in case a menu or the channel
display
is currently open.
- Changed some of the colors in the LCARS skin (you may need to delete the file
lcars-default.theme from your themes directory to see these changes).
- The new setup option Miscellaneous/Show channel names with source can be
used to
turn on adding the source character to channel names whenever they are
displayed
(suggested by Ludi Kaleni).
Have fun!
