    36 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    37 
    38 21.09.2006: Version 0.9.15 development (vdr 1.4.1-4)
    39 - NOTE: This version has been tested with VDR 1.4.x only. It might be still
    40   compatible with VDR 1.2.x or 1.3.x, but this wasn't verified.
    41 - In MPlayer filebrowser you can display a summary text file with key "0".
    42   Filename convention: video filename extended with ".summary", e.g.
    43   "somefile.avi" -> "somefile.avi.summary". Summary files are not shown in the
    44   browsers filelist. (was in 0.9.14 already, but was missing in history)
    45 - Using ".txt" and ".nfo" as alternative extention for MPlayer summary file
    46   display. Suggested by Soeren Sonnenburg.
    47 - Additionaly searching for a MPlayer summary file with the video filename
    48   extention stripped of (e.g. "somefile.summary").

    64   Reported by Soeren Sonnenburg.
    65 - Fixed parsing the filename from MPlayer output. Based on a fix from TomG.
    66 - Fixed MPlayer volume changes. Take non-linear changes in VDR into account.
    67   Reported by Daniel Karsubka.
    68 - Fixed delay when MPlayer process exits at EOF. Reported by Daniel Karsubka.
    69 - Fixed MPlayer volumen handling for VDR 1.4.1-2. Note that the current code
    70   doesn't work with VDR 1.4.1 and 1.4.1-1.
    71 - Fixed button translations with vdr 1.3.38+. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.
    72 - Fixed some gcc 4.1 issues. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.
    73 - Removed explizit libz dependency from Makefile. Suggested by Ville Skyttä.
    74 - Updated Makefile according to changes in VDR 1.3.47 & 1.4.1.
    75 - Updated finish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
    76 
    77 08.01.2006: Version 0.9.14 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.38)
    78 - Fixed VDR hanging for some seconds when skipping songs and fixed pause mode 
    79   freezing live background when using OSS output. Reported by Andy Grobb.
    80 - Now muting DVB audio while using OSS output.
    81 - Finaly restored the function of the back key (jumps directly to plugin main
    82   menu) (vdr >= 1.3.32 only). Thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for the hint.
    83 - During MPlayer playback, the name of the current videofile is now parsed from
    84   the MPlayer output. If you're using some kind of playlist hack, the MPlayer
    85   plugin will now report the correct filename. Based on suggestions from Ronny
    86   Kornexl.
    87 - Extended the example mplayer.sh file to show how a playlist can be passed to
    88   MPLayer.
    89 - Fixed segfault in progress display with skincurses. Thanks to Pasi Juppo for
    90   reporting.
    91 - Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.3.38.
    92 
    93 31.07.2005: Version 0.9.13 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.24)
    94 - Moved OSD position selection to plugin setup menu (as before this works for
    95   non-skined vdr <1.3.7 only).
    96 - Removed DVD navigation from MPlayer slavemode.
    97 - Added support for configurable keys (0-9) in MPlayer slavemode. The slave
    98   command can be entered in the plugin setup menu and is sent to MPlayer during
    99   playback if the key is pressed.
   100 - Added support to display a summary file (plain ascii) in the MPlayer browser.
   101   If you are on a video file, press '0' to display the summary. The summary file
   102   has to be named like the video file but with ".summary" appended (e.g.
   103   video.mpeg -> video.mpeg.summary).
   104 - New MP3 plugin setup option to keep the selection menu opened after selection.
   105   Suggested by Mikko Mäkinen.
   106 - Fixed ringbuffer timeouts in network code.
   107 - Fixed ID3 V2 tag handling. Unusual big tags caused the ID3 scanner to mark the
   108   file as bad. Now correctly skipping ID3 tags during playback too. Reported by
   109   Olaf Henkel.
   110 - Prevent writing to a broken pipe in mplayer slave control. Reported by Gerhard
   111   Steiner.
   112 - Fixed passing AID 0 to mplayer.sh. To allow MPlayer autoselect the audio
   113   stream, set AID to -1 (this can only be achieved by entering 0 and than
   114   pressing left).
   115 - Improved creation of LPCM frames. Based on the changes in muggle 0.1.8.
   116 - Updated french translations. Provided by Jerome Rousset.
   117 
   118 17.03.2005: Version 0.9.12 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.22)
   119 - Fixed background image convert hanging a long time and some other oddities.
   120 - Now filtering image files in the song browser display.
   121 - Extended include field in mp3sources.conf to allow multiple patterns seperated
   122   by '/' e.g. *.mp3/*.ogg/*.txt
   123 - Enhanced image convert script for NTSC format. Thanks to Cym.
   124 - Fixed list sorting for vdr versions before 1.3.15.
   125 - Fixed MPlayer slavemode progress display reappearing on user requested close.
   126 - Now explicitly setting C locale in example image convert script. Thanks to
   127   Tobias Grimm.
   128 - Changed the location where cStatus::MsgReplaying is called. Helps to prevent a
   129   crash in graphlcd. In my opinion cControl API should be called from the
   130   foreground thread only. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz.
   131 - Fixed a huge bunch of typos in the documentation. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.
   132 - Updated finish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg & Ville Skyttä.
   133 
   134 20.02.2005: Version 0.9.11 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.21)
   135 - Now using propper readdir() to scan directory contents rather than the
   136   external find & sort tools.
   137 - Added cover image display during MP3 replay. See the README on how this has
   138   to be configured. If you was using the old image patch, be aware that there
   139   are now new commandline options and that the layout of the cache directory
   140   has changed. Initial patch made by Eloy, currently maintained by Tobias Grimm
   141   for ctvdr-debian package.
   142 
   143 06.02.2005: Version 0.9.10 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.20)
   144 - Fixed MPlayer resume for filenames/directories containing whitespace
   145   characters.
   146 - Fixed vdr 1.3.18+ compatibility with BROKEN_PCM=1.
   147 - Fixed MP3 replay with vdr 1.3.19+. Thanks to Tobias Grimm.
   148 - Fixed huge memory leak in song/decoder handling (approx 22kB/song). Thanks to
   149   the great valgrind tool.
   150 - Fixed some mismatched new[]/delete calls.
   151 - Reduced MP3 decoder memory footprint (stopped state, from 22k to 308).
   152 - Fixed crashes on status display from background threads (e.g. connect to
   153   streamserver). An asyncronous status display was added.
   154 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   155 - Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.1b and
   156   libsndfile 1.0.11.
   157 - Updated patch for cdfs 0.5c. Correct tracksize for last audio track if a data
   158   track follows. Thanks to Merten Falk.
   159 
   160 10.01.2005: Version 0.9.9 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.18)
   161 - Added global MPlayer resume file. This is used if the directory of the video
   162   file is not writeable. The global resume file is located in the video
   163   directory.
   164 - Added DVD navigation to MPlayer slavemode. Due to this some other functions
   165   have been moved to new keys. See MANUAL file.
   166 - Added some glue for vdr 1.3.18.
   167 - Fixed saving of MPlayer setup option "ResumeMode". You can select if you want
   168   "local/global" or "global only" resume files too.
   169 - Fixed thread deadlock in playmanager and non-blocking libsndfile reader
   170   (appearently only with some pthread versions) and high cpu usage of
   171   background scan thread when using libsndfile decoder. Thanks to Tobias Grimm
   172   for debugging.
   173 - Removed workarounds for broken PCM handling in firmware (PCM pause &
   174   samplerate changes). This requires DVB firmware 261d-rc6 or newer. If you
   175   prefer to use an older firmware, you can use the make commandline option
   176   BROKEN_PCM=1 to enable old behaviour.
   177 - Fixed handling of sym-links in source base path and playlists.
   178 - Fixed path generation for "wide" sym-links.
   179 - Replaced non-reentrant glibc functions with reentrant versions.
   180 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   181 
   182 28.11.2004: Version 0.9.8 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.14)
   183 - Added MPlayer audiostream selection. Audiostream is selected with the blue
   184   key in the MPlayer menu. The selected stream is passed to the mplayer.sh
   185   script as "AID x" where x is the stream number. For compatibility reasons the
   186   AID parameter is passed after the SLAVE parameter. Due to this, parameter
   187   positions aren't fixed any more. You have to implement a flexible parameter
   188   parsing in mplayer.sh. See the example file how this can be done. Based on a
   189   patch from VDR-Portal.
   190 - Fixed segfault in shuffle code when adding a single song to the current
   191   playlist. Reported by Malte Schröder.
   192 - Fixed segfault in network code (pthread_cancel). Reported by Malte Schröder.
   193 - Fixed mounting/unmounting sources in MPlayer plugin. Reported by Guy Roussin.
   194 - Fixed status display with open (classic) progress display for vdr 1.3.7+.
   195 - Added russian translations (vdr >= 1.3.2). Provided by Vyacheslav Dikonov.
   196 
   197 24.09.2004: Version 0.9.7 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
   198 - Added non-blocking reader thread to libsndfile decoder.
   199 - Fixed backward skip and progress display. Reported by Burkhardt Petermann.
   200 - Fixed some locking problems in play manager.
   201 - Fixed handling of samplerate changes for DVB & OSS output.
   202 
   203 13.09.2004: Version 0.9.6 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
   204 - Changed the way how the player maintains the ringbuffer to prevent audio
   205   dropouts while background scan is active.
   206 - Increased player ringbuffer size and take care of ringbuffer contents when
   207   skipping forward.
   208 - Prevent full file scan on MP3 decoder check.
   209 - Flushing playlist on playback abort to unblock removable sources. This also
   210   prevents the background scanner to continue after playback was aborted.
   211 - Removed a buffer-to-buffer copy in DVB output.
   212 - Fixed several race conditions where the play manager could discard the
   213   currently played or scanned song.
   214 - Added a patch for cdfs 0.5c to correct discid calculation (applies to cdfs
   215   2.4.20 as well).
   216 
   217 07.09.2004: Version 0.9.5 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
   218 - Resolved several oddities in progress display if the player is idle.
   219 - Now removing trailing '/' from source definitions in *sources.conf and warn
   220   the user about this.
   221 - Outdated entries in the MPlayer resume file are removed now.
   222 - Fixed playback start delay in case the background scanner is working on the
   223   current song.
   224 - Fixed progress display for net streams. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz.
   225 - Fixed MPlayer rewind button (broken by sources fix in 0.9.4). Reported by
   226   Sebastian Kemper.
   227 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   228 - Added a patch that prevents the VDR core from aborting the MP3 player in
   229   black background mode (see patches subdirectory).
   230 
   231 03.09.2004: Version 0.9.4 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
   232 - Added a queue manager. During playback you can add new songs to the playlist
   233   by selecting them from the MP3 menu/browser. To flush the playlist you have
   234   to stop the player for now. You can add new songs even if the player is kept
   235   idle (see below).
   236 - Replaced setup option "mute at end of list" with "abort player at end of
   237   list". If you set this option to "no" and the end of playlist is reached, the
   238   player is kept idle. To restart playback select a song to restart from there
   239   or "up" to restart from the begining.
   240 - Background scan (formerly known as ID3 prescan) now also can determine the
   241   song level. Note that level scan requires to decode the complete song. This is
   242   done on a seperate thread with nice 5 but nevertheless it needs CPU cycles. If
   243   your system crawls, you can set background scan to "ID3 only" in the plugin
   244   setup menu.
   245 - Added commanline option -C to specify the directory to place the id3cache
   246   file. The default is to place the file into the video directory.
   247 - MPlayer resume feature can now be disabled in the plugin setup menu. No resume
   248   file is created in this case.
   249 - Another fix to the OSS output. Now using little-endian samples only (which
   250   should be supported by all soundcard drivers).
   251 - Fixed mounting/unmounting of MPlayer sources (Bug introduced in 0.9.2). Thanks
   252   to Bill Blough for spotting this one.
   253 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   254 
   255 03.07.2004: Version 0.9.3 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11)
   256 - If a (single) selected file in the MP3 browser is actualy a playlist (*.m3u),
   257   load the playlist rather than trying to play the file. This allows to have
   258   playlists in subdirectories (by now only selectable from the browser not from
   259   the main menu). Note that song paths must be either absolute or relative to
   260   the location of the playlist file. Suggested by Helmut Auer.
   261 - Now returning replay mode information in MP3 replay. Suggested by Sascha
   262   Volkenandt.
   263 - Now paying attention to values returned by OSS ioctl's. This fixes playback
   264   for sound drivers which doesn't support big-endian samples. Thanks to
   265   Antti-Pekka Liedes for reporting and testing the fix.
   266 - Added setup option to hide the mainmenu entry.
   267 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   268 - Fixed VDR 1.2.x compile issues.
   269 - Fixed crash on status message display while the classic replay display is
   270   open.
   271 
   272 24.06.2004: Version 0.9.2 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11)
   273 - Added a setup option to toggle MP3 replay display between classic and skin
   274   version. Note that the big playlist display isn't available in skin mode.
   275 - Added rewind button to MPlayer menu. Suggested by Sebastian Kemper.
   276 - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   277 - Fixed current play time calculation for MPlayer without slave-patch.
   278   Reported by Uwe Scheffler.
   279 - Fixed status messages which were displayed for ever. Reported by Sascha
   280   Volkenandt.
   281 
   282 05.06.2004: Version 0.9.1 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.9)
   283 - Added finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
   284 - Adapted to the changes in VDR 1.3.7+. Based on patches provided by Sascha
   285   Volkenandt & Sven Goethel.
   286 - Fixed long standing bug in ID3 tag parsing, when the file contains an
   287   incomplete ID3 tag at the end of file. Thanks to Matt Tovey for debugging.
   288 - Better german translations. Suggested by Andreas Brachold.
   289 - Now ignoring dot-files in file browser. Suggested by Patrick Cernko.
   290 - Now showing total play time in MPlayer progress display. The value may be
   291   inaccurate. Suggested by Patrick Cernko.
   292 - Added resume capability for MPlayer. The resume position is stored in a file
   293   called ".mplayer.resume" in the directory of the MPlayer file. Based on a
   294   patch provided by Patrick Cernko.
   295 - Added a setup option to mute audio at end of playlist. Based on a patch
   296   provided by Christoph Gohle.
   297 - Now accepting absolute paths in playlists, even though the path must point to
   298   somewhere inside the defined source directory. Suggested by Niklaus Stutz.
   299 
   300 08.05.2004: Version 0.9.0 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.1)
   301 - Added OSS soundcard output. Use make option WITH_OSS_OUTPUT=1 to compile
   302   support, commandline option -D to change DSP device and plugin setup menu to
   303   select output mode. Thanks to Gunnar Roth.
   304 - Added shoutcast/icecast metadata parsing. Thanks to Andreas Brachold.
   305 - Now restoring locale settings in MPlayer plugin.
   306 - Fixed MPlayer exit problem while paused.
   307 - Fixed showing outdated song name shortly after start of a new song.
   308

   312 - Fixed shutting down network connection (race condition).
   313 - Added a pointer to Juri's mplayer.sh in the README.
   314 - Fixed compilation problem with VDR 1.3.x and Beauty-Patch.
   315 
   316 16.11.2003: Version 0.8.2 (vdr 1.2.6)
   317 - Fixed quoting special shell characters when calling MPlayer.
   318 - Now sending a "quit" to MPlayer when in slave mode rather than killing the
   319   process.
   320 - Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.0b and
   321   libsndfile 1.0.5.
   322 
   323 08.08.2003: Version 0.8.1 (vdr 1.2.2)
   324 - Fixed network code for DOS-style \r\n (Thanks to Roland Praml).
   325 
   326 01.06.2003: Version 0.8.0 (vdr 1.2.0)
   327 - Fixed thread cancelation in network code (valgrind hits).
   328 - Stable release 0.8.0.
   329 
   330 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
   331 
   332 25.05.2003: Version 0.7.15 plugin development (vdr 1.1.33)
   333 - Adapted to the changes in vdr 1.1.33.
   334 - Corrected the README about the fact that the plugins require vdr 1.1.29+.
   335 - Added Spanish & Catalan translations. Thanks to Ramon Roca.

   340   progressbar is displayed.
   341 - Added Swedish translations. Thanks to Jan Ekholm.
   342 
   343 27.04.2003: Version 0.7.13 plugin development (vdr 1.1.29)

   346 
   347 18.04.2003: Version 0.7.12 plugin development (vdr 1.1.27)
   348 - Added support for MPlayers slave commands "get_percent_pos" &
   349   "get_time_length". Gives better results for the progressbar. The slavemode
   350   patch for MPlayer is still needed as not all video formats provide
   351   information through these slave commands.
   352 - Fixed s/ms mixup in remote CDDB connect.
   353 - Fixed possible deadlock-race in mp3 & snd decoder.
   354 - Added OggVorbis decoder. libvorbis & libvorbisfile needed.
   355 - Updated French translations. Thanks to Pierre-Henri Beguin.

   357 
   358 27.03.2003: Version 0.7.11 plugin development (vdr 1.1.26)
   359 - Fixed MPlayer AudioDelay(). Thanks to Sven Goethel.
   360 - Fixed MPlayer key repeat. Thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner.
   361 - Added yellow/green key to MPlayer control to skip back/forward a minute.
   362   Key assignment may change in future for these keys.
   363 - Fixed Makefile for DVB includes.
   364 - Fixed creation of cMPlayerStatus according to the rules.
   365 - Fixed pipe reading and parse code. Caused all kind of weird behaviour.
   366 - Some changes to the MPlayer pipe handling.
   367 - Changed the network ringbuffer handling. You should use VDR version 1.1.25+
   368   or you may suffer from high cpu load during network streaming.
   369 - Added a console message if a plugin fails to start due to a missing
   370   sources.conf.
   371 
   372 03.02.2003: Version 0.7.10 plugin development (vdr 1.1.23)
   373 - Added patches for MPlayer 0.90rc1 (contributed by Beppe on the VDR ML).
   374 - Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.1.22.
   375 - Removed speed drift detection. Makes not much sense with HEAD driver, as this
   376   supports non-48kHz modes anyways.
   377 
   378 18.12.2002: Version 0.7.9 plugin development (vdr 1.1.20)
   379 - Added commandline option to specify a script which is called before & after
   380   network access (e.g. for dial-up networking) (suggested by Matthias Raus).
   381 - Fixed playback speed check for (partly) corrupted files.
   382 - Fixed blocking frontend thread during possibly slow playback startup.
   383 - Added support for shoutcast/icecast streams. See MANUAL for URL file format
   384   and setup menu options.
   385 
   386 24.11.2002: Version 0.7.8 plugin development (vdr 1.1.16)
   387 - Speed up local CDDB database search with huge databases. Due to this, only
   388   one subdirectory level is allowed in the database directory (usually the
   389   category name). This follows the common xmcd database layout.
   390 - Added code for remote CDDB lookups. cddb.sh script is no longer needed. Please
   391   note, that the commandline options have changed.
   392 - Added some status output while scanning/loading playlists to inform the user.
   393 
   394 13.11.2002: Version 0.7.7 plugin development (vdr 1.1.16)
   395 - Updated Makefile to support Make.config.
   396 - Removed a deadlock together with the rt-patch.
   397 - Added support for the new remote keys (play,pause,fastfwd/rwd).
   398 
   399 06.10.2002: Version 0.7.6 plugin development (vdr 1.1.12)
   400 - Removed a class name conflict (cSource) introduced with the changes in
   401   vdr 1.1.12.
   402 - Added a field to the sources.conf files to specify which kind of files should
   403   be used on a source (see mp3sources.conf.example).
   404 
   405 06.09.2002: Version 0.7.5 plugin development (vdr 1.1.8)
   406 - Fixed bug in new status string code, which crashed VDR if a song without
   407   artist tag was played.
   408 - Fixed parsing error of MPlayer output in slavemode if "C" is not the current
   409   locale.
   410 - Fixed jump to minute in MPlayer slavemode.
   411 - If you have installed the "replay mode beauty patch" the new symbols are used
   412   for MPlayer progressbar too. This feature is auto-detected in the Makefile.
   413 
   414 01.09.2002: Version 0.7.4 plugin development (vdr 1.1.8)
   415 - Changed the status string to show the loop/shuffle state too.
   416 - Fixed replay problem with background mode "black". With vdr 1.1.8 you must
   417   apply the included patch to the base source.
   418 - Changed the way mplayer.sh is called. Now it shouldn't be necessary to give
   419   the full path to the script if the script is in the current PATH.
   420 - Added MANUAL a file.
   421 - New setup option SlaveMode for MPlayer. With SlaveMode enabled you can
   422   control MPlayer via VDR. A progress display is available too. See MANUAL for
   423   details (thanks to Dariush Forouher).
   424 
   425 23.08.2002: Version 0.7.3 plugin development (vdr 1.1.7)
   426 - Now using libsndfile 1.x.x. You must update you system. The plugin won't
   427   compile with version 0.0.x.
   428 - Fixed detection if MPlayer is still running.
   429 - Fixed GetIndex() to return frames rather than seconds (thanks to Martin
   430   Hammerschmidt).
   431 - The last second of the last song in a playlist wasn't played. Now waiting
   432   until the ringbuffer is really empty.
   433 
   434 16.08.2002: Version 0.7.2 plugin development (vdr 1.1.7)
   435 - Fixed gcc 2.96 compiling error due to variable name "not".
   436 - Fixed a undefined symbol error when compiling without libsndfile.
