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

nathan@0:   Reported by Soeren Sonnenburg.
nathan@0: - Fixed parsing the filename from MPlayer output. Based on a fix from TomG.
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer volume changes. Take non-linear changes in VDR into account.
nathan@0:   Reported by Daniel Karsubka.
nathan@0: - Fixed delay when MPlayer process exits at EOF. Reported by Daniel Karsubka.
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer volumen handling for VDR 1.4.1-2. Note that the current code
nathan@0:   doesn't work with VDR 1.4.1 and 1.4.1-1.
nathan@0: - Fixed button translations with vdr 1.3.38+. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.
nathan@0: - Fixed some gcc 4.1 issues. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.

nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 08.01.2006: Version 0.9.14 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.38)
nathan@0: - Fixed VDR hanging for some seconds when skipping songs and fixed pause mode 
nathan@0:   freezing live background when using OSS output. Reported by Andy Grobb.
nathan@0: - Now muting DVB audio while using OSS output.
nathan@0: - Finaly restored the function of the back key (jumps directly to plugin main
nathan@0:   menu) (vdr >= 1.3.32 only). Thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for the hint.
nathan@0: - During MPlayer playback, the name of the current videofile is now parsed from
nathan@0:   the MPlayer output. If you're using some kind of playlist hack, the MPlayer
nathan@0:   plugin will now report the correct filename. Based on suggestions from Ronny
nathan@0:   Kornexl.
nathan@0: - Extended the example mplayer.sh file to show how a playlist can be passed to
nathan@0:   MPLayer.
nathan@0: - Fixed segfault in progress display with skincurses. Thanks to Pasi Juppo for
nathan@0:   reporting.
nathan@0: - Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.3.38.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 31.07.2005: Version 0.9.13 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.24)
nathan@0: - Moved OSD position selection to plugin setup menu (as before this works for
nathan@0:   non-skined vdr <1.3.7 only).
nathan@0: - Removed DVD navigation from MPlayer slavemode.
nathan@0: - Added support for configurable keys (0-9) in MPlayer slavemode. The slave
nathan@0:   command can be entered in the plugin setup menu and is sent to MPlayer during
nathan@0:   playback if the key is pressed.
nathan@0: - Added support to display a summary file (plain ascii) in the MPlayer browser.
nathan@0:   If you are on a video file, press '0' to display the summary. The summary file
nathan@0:   has to be named like the video file but with ".summary" appended (e.g.
nathan@0:   video.mpeg -> video.mpeg.summary).
nathan@0: - New MP3 plugin setup option to keep the selection menu opened after selection.
nathan@0:   Suggested by Mikko Mäkinen.
nathan@0: - Fixed ringbuffer timeouts in network code.
nathan@0: - Fixed ID3 V2 tag handling. Unusual big tags caused the ID3 scanner to mark the
nathan@0:   file as bad. Now correctly skipping ID3 tags during playback too. Reported by
nathan@0:   Olaf Henkel.
nathan@0: - Prevent writing to a broken pipe in mplayer slave control. Reported by Gerhard
nathan@0:   Steiner.
nathan@0: - Fixed passing AID 0 to mplayer.sh. To allow MPlayer autoselect the audio
nathan@0:   stream, set AID to -1 (this can only be achieved by entering 0 and than
nathan@0:   pressing left).
nathan@0: - Improved creation of LPCM frames. Based on the changes in muggle 0.1.8.
nathan@0: - Updated french translations. Provided by Jerome Rousset.

nathan@0: - Now filtering image files in the song browser display.
nathan@0: - Extended include field in mp3sources.conf to allow multiple patterns seperated
nathan@0:   by '/' e.g. *.mp3/*.ogg/*.txt
nathan@0: - Enhanced image convert script for NTSC format. Thanks to Cym.
nathan@0: - Fixed list sorting for vdr versions before 1.3.15.
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer slavemode progress display reappearing on user requested close.
nathan@0: - Now explicitly setting C locale in example image convert script. Thanks to
nathan@0:   Tobias Grimm.
nathan@0: - Changed the location where cStatus::MsgReplaying is called. Helps to prevent a
nathan@0:   crash in graphlcd. In my opinion cControl API should be called from the
nathan@0:   foreground thread only. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz.
nathan@0: - Fixed a huge bunch of typos in the documentation. Thanks to Ville Skyttä.
nathan@0: - Updated finish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg & Ville Skyttä.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 20.02.2005: Version 0.9.11 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.21)
nathan@0: - Now using propper readdir() to scan directory contents rather than the
nathan@0:   external find & sort tools.
nathan@0: - Added cover image display during MP3 replay. See the README on how this has
nathan@0:   to be configured. If you was using the old image patch, be aware that there
nathan@0:   are now new commandline options and that the layout of the cache directory
nathan@0:   has changed. Initial patch made by Eloy, currently maintained by Tobias Grimm
nathan@0:   for ctvdr-debian package.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 06.02.2005: Version 0.9.10 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.20)
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer resume for filenames/directories containing whitespace
nathan@0:   characters.
nathan@0: - Fixed vdr 1.3.18+ compatibility with BROKEN_PCM=1.
nathan@0: - Fixed MP3 replay with vdr 1.3.19+. Thanks to Tobias Grimm.
nathan@0: - Fixed huge memory leak in song/decoder handling (approx 22kB/song). Thanks to
nathan@0:   the great valgrind tool.
nathan@0: - Fixed some mismatched new[]/delete calls.
nathan@0: - Reduced MP3 decoder memory footprint (stopped state, from 22k to 308).
nathan@0: - Fixed crashes on status display from background threads (e.g. connect to
nathan@0:   streamserver). An asyncronous status display was added.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: - Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.1b and
nathan@0:   libsndfile 1.0.11.
nathan@0: - Updated patch for cdfs 0.5c. Correct tracksize for last audio track if a data
nathan@0:   track follows. Thanks to Merten Falk.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 10.01.2005: Version 0.9.9 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.18)
nathan@0: - Added global MPlayer resume file. This is used if the directory of the video
nathan@0:   file is not writeable. The global resume file is located in the video
nathan@0:   directory.
nathan@0: - Added DVD navigation to MPlayer slavemode. Due to this some other functions
nathan@0:   have been moved to new keys. See MANUAL file.
nathan@0: - Added some glue for vdr 1.3.18.
nathan@0: - Fixed saving of MPlayer setup option "ResumeMode". You can select if you want
nathan@0:   "local/global" or "global only" resume files too.
nathan@0: - Fixed thread deadlock in playmanager and non-blocking libsndfile reader
nathan@0:   (appearently only with some pthread versions) and high cpu usage of
nathan@0:   background scan thread when using libsndfile decoder. Thanks to Tobias Grimm
nathan@0:   for debugging.
nathan@0: - Removed workarounds for broken PCM handling in firmware (PCM pause &
nathan@0:   samplerate changes). This requires DVB firmware 261d-rc6 or newer. If you
nathan@0:   prefer to use an older firmware, you can use the make commandline option
nathan@0:   BROKEN_PCM=1 to enable old behaviour.
nathan@0: - Fixed handling of sym-links in source base path and playlists.
nathan@0: - Fixed path generation for "wide" sym-links.
nathan@0: - Replaced non-reentrant glibc functions with reentrant versions.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 28.11.2004: Version 0.9.8 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.14)
nathan@0: - Added MPlayer audiostream selection. Audiostream is selected with the blue
nathan@0:   key in the MPlayer menu. The selected stream is passed to the mplayer.sh
nathan@0:   script as "AID x" where x is the stream number. For compatibility reasons the
nathan@0:   AID parameter is passed after the SLAVE parameter. Due to this, parameter
nathan@0:   positions aren't fixed any more. You have to implement a flexible parameter
nathan@0:   parsing in mplayer.sh. See the example file how this can be done. Based on a
nathan@0:   patch from VDR-Portal.
nathan@0: - Fixed segfault in shuffle code when adding a single song to the current
nathan@0:   playlist. Reported by Malte Schröder.
nathan@0: - Fixed segfault in network code (pthread_cancel). Reported by Malte Schröder.
nathan@0: - Fixed mounting/unmounting sources in MPlayer plugin. Reported by Guy Roussin.
nathan@0: - Fixed status display with open (classic) progress display for vdr 1.3.7+.
nathan@0: - Added russian translations (vdr >= 1.3.2). Provided by Vyacheslav Dikonov.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 24.09.2004: Version 0.9.7 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
nathan@0: - Added non-blocking reader thread to libsndfile decoder.
nathan@0: - Fixed backward skip and progress display. Reported by Burkhardt Petermann.
nathan@0: - Fixed some locking problems in play manager.
nathan@0: - Fixed handling of samplerate changes for DVB & OSS output.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 13.09.2004: Version 0.9.6 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
nathan@0: - Changed the way how the player maintains the ringbuffer to prevent audio
nathan@0:   dropouts while background scan is active.
nathan@0: - Increased player ringbuffer size and take care of ringbuffer contents when
nathan@0:   skipping forward.
nathan@0: - Prevent full file scan on MP3 decoder check.
nathan@0: - Flushing playlist on playback abort to unblock removable sources. This also
nathan@0:   prevents the background scanner to continue after playback was aborted.
nathan@0: - Removed a buffer-to-buffer copy in DVB output.
nathan@0: - Fixed several race conditions where the play manager could discard the
nathan@0:   currently played or scanned song.
nathan@0: - Added a patch for cdfs 0.5c to correct discid calculation (applies to cdfs
nathan@0:   2.4.20 as well).
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 07.09.2004: Version 0.9.5 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
nathan@0: - Resolved several oddities in progress display if the player is idle.
nathan@0: - Now removing trailing '/' from source definitions in *sources.conf and warn
nathan@0:   the user about this.
nathan@0: - Outdated entries in the MPlayer resume file are removed now.
nathan@0: - Fixed playback start delay in case the background scanner is working on the
nathan@0:   current song.
nathan@0: - Fixed progress display for net streams. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz.
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer rewind button (broken by sources fix in 0.9.4). Reported by
nathan@0:   Sebastian Kemper.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: - Added a patch that prevents the VDR core from aborting the MP3 player in
nathan@0:   black background mode (see patches subdirectory).
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 03.09.2004: Version 0.9.4 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12)
nathan@0: - Added a queue manager. During playback you can add new songs to the playlist
nathan@0:   by selecting them from the MP3 menu/browser. To flush the playlist you have
nathan@0:   to stop the player for now. You can add new songs even if the player is kept
nathan@0:   idle (see below).
nathan@0: - Replaced setup option "mute at end of list" with "abort player at end of
nathan@0:   list". If you set this option to "no" and the end of playlist is reached, the
nathan@0:   player is kept idle. To restart playback select a song to restart from there
nathan@0:   or "up" to restart from the begining.
nathan@0: - Background scan (formerly known as ID3 prescan) now also can determine the
nathan@0:   song level. Note that level scan requires to decode the complete song. This is
nathan@0:   done on a seperate thread with nice 5 but nevertheless it needs CPU cycles. If
nathan@0:   your system crawls, you can set background scan to "ID3 only" in the plugin
nathan@0:   setup menu.
nathan@0: - Added commanline option -C to specify the directory to place the id3cache
nathan@0:   file. The default is to place the file into the video directory.
nathan@0: - MPlayer resume feature can now be disabled in the plugin setup menu. No resume
nathan@0:   file is created in this case.
nathan@0: - Another fix to the OSS output. Now using little-endian samples only (which
nathan@0:   should be supported by all soundcard drivers).
nathan@0: - Fixed mounting/unmounting of MPlayer sources (Bug introduced in 0.9.2). Thanks
nathan@0:   to Bill Blough for spotting this one.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 03.07.2004: Version 0.9.3 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11)
nathan@0: - If a (single) selected file in the MP3 browser is actualy a playlist (*.m3u),
nathan@0:   load the playlist rather than trying to play the file. This allows to have
nathan@0:   playlists in subdirectories (by now only selectable from the browser not from
nathan@0:   the main menu). Note that song paths must be either absolute or relative to
nathan@0:   the location of the playlist file. Suggested by Helmut Auer.
nathan@0: - Now returning replay mode information in MP3 replay. Suggested by Sascha
nathan@0:   Volkenandt.
nathan@0: - Now paying attention to values returned by OSS ioctl's. This fixes playback
nathan@0:   for sound drivers which doesn't support big-endian samples. Thanks to
nathan@0:   Antti-Pekka Liedes for reporting and testing the fix.
nathan@0: - Added setup option to hide the mainmenu entry.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: - Fixed VDR 1.2.x compile issues.
nathan@0: - Fixed crash on status message display while the classic replay display is
nathan@0:   open.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 24.06.2004: Version 0.9.2 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11)
nathan@0: - Added a setup option to toggle MP3 replay display between classic and skin
nathan@0:   version. Note that the big playlist display isn't available in skin mode.
nathan@0: - Added rewind button to MPlayer menu. Suggested by Sebastian Kemper.
nathan@0: - Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: - Fixed current play time calculation for MPlayer without slave-patch.
nathan@0:   Reported by Uwe Scheffler.
nathan@0: - Fixed status messages which were displayed for ever. Reported by Sascha
nathan@0:   Volkenandt.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 05.06.2004: Version 0.9.1 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.9)
nathan@0: - Added finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg.
nathan@0: - Adapted to the changes in VDR 1.3.7+. Based on patches provided by Sascha
nathan@0:   Volkenandt & Sven Goethel.
nathan@0: - Fixed long standing bug in ID3 tag parsing, when the file contains an
nathan@0:   incomplete ID3 tag at the end of file. Thanks to Matt Tovey for debugging.
nathan@0: - Better german translations. Suggested by Andreas Brachold.
nathan@0: - Now ignoring dot-files in file browser. Suggested by Patrick Cernko.
nathan@0: - Now showing total play time in MPlayer progress display. The value may be
nathan@0:   inaccurate. Suggested by Patrick Cernko.
nathan@0: - Added resume capability for MPlayer. The resume position is stored in a file
nathan@0:   called ".mplayer.resume" in the directory of the MPlayer file. Based on a
nathan@0:   patch provided by Patrick Cernko.
nathan@0: - Added a setup option to mute audio at end of playlist. Based on a patch
nathan@0:   provided by Christoph Gohle.
nathan@0: - Now accepting absolute paths in playlists, even though the path must point to
nathan@0:   somewhere inside the defined source directory. Suggested by Niklaus Stutz.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 08.05.2004: Version 0.9.0 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.1)
nathan@0: - Added OSS soundcard output. Use make option WITH_OSS_OUTPUT=1 to compile
nathan@0:   support, commandline option -D to change DSP device and plugin setup menu to
nathan@0:   select output mode. Thanks to Gunnar Roth.
nathan@0: - Added shoutcast/icecast metadata parsing. Thanks to Andreas Brachold.
nathan@0: - Now restoring locale settings in MPlayer plugin.
nathan@0: - Fixed MPlayer exit problem while paused.
nathan@0: - Fixed showing outdated song name shortly after start of a new song.

nathan@0: - Now sending a "quit" to MPlayer when in slave mode rather than killing the
nathan@0:   process.
nathan@0: - Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.0b and
nathan@0:   libsndfile 1.0.5.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 08.08.2003: Version 0.8.1 (vdr 1.2.2)

nathan@0: - Fixed thread cancelation in network code (valgrind hits).
nathan@0: - Stable release 0.8.0.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 25.05.2003: Version 0.7.15 plugin development (vdr 1.1.33)

nathan@0: - Added support for MPlayers slave commands "get_percent_pos" &
nathan@0:   "get_time_length". Gives better results for the progressbar. The slavemode
nathan@0:   patch for MPlayer is still needed as not all video formats provide
nathan@0:   information through these slave commands.
nathan@0: - Fixed s/ms mixup in remote CDDB connect.
nathan@0: - Fixed possible deadlock-race in mp3 & snd decoder.
nathan@0: - Added OggVorbis decoder. libvorbis & libvorbisfile needed.

nathan@0: - Fixed pipe reading and parse code. Caused all kind of weird behaviour.
nathan@0: - Some changes to the MPlayer pipe handling.
nathan@0: - Changed the network ringbuffer handling. You should use VDR version 1.1.25+
nathan@0:   or you may suffer from high cpu load during network streaming.
nathan@0: - Added a console message if a plugin fails to start due to a missing
nathan@0:   sources.conf.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 03.02.2003: Version 0.7.10 plugin development (vdr 1.1.23)
nathan@0: - Added patches for MPlayer 0.90rc1 (contributed by Beppe on the VDR ML).
nathan@0: - Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.1.22.
nathan@0: - Removed speed drift detection. Makes not much sense with HEAD driver, as this
nathan@0:   supports non-48kHz modes anyways.
nathan@0: 
nathan@0: 18.12.2002: Version 0.7.9 plugin development (vdr 1.1.20)
nathan@0: - Added commandline option to specify a script which is called before & after
nathan@0:   network access (e.g. for dial-up networking) (suggested by Matthias Raus).
nathan@0: - Fixed playback speed check for (partly) corrupted files.
nathan@0: - Fixed blocking frontend thread during possibly slow playback startup.
nathan@0: - Added support for shoutcast/icecast streams. See MANUAL for URL file format
nathan@0:   and setup menu options.
nathan@0:
