Reported by Halim Sahin. +- Added processing of kNext/kPrev to skip songs. Patch provided by Peter Pinnau. +- Made subsampling mode selection for ppmtoy4m call in example image convert + script backward compatible. Suggested by C.Y.M. +- Fixed a missing include in mplayer.c. Reported by Dirk Vornheder. +- Now closing all unused filedescriptors in MPlayer child thread. Suggested by + Anssi Hannula. +- Now defaults to slavemode enabled in MPlayer plugin. +- Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.5.0+. +- Documentation updates. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +21.09.2006: Version 0.9.15 development (vdr 1.4.1-4) +- NOTE: This version has been tested with VDR 1.4.x only. It might be still + compatible with VDR 1.2.x or 1.3.x, but this wasn't verified. +- In MPlayer filebrowser you can display a summary text file with key "0". + Filename convention: video filename extended with ".summary", e.g. + "somefile.avi" -> "somefile.avi.summary". Summary files are not shown in the + browsers filelist. (was in 0.9.14 already, but was missing in history) +- Using ".txt" and ".nfo" as alternative extention for MPlayer summary file + display. Suggested by Soeren Sonnenburg. +- Additionaly searching for a MPlayer summary file with the video filename + extention stripped of (e.g. "somefile.summary"). +- Added SVDR and service support to MP3 and MPlayer plugin. Based on a patches + provided by Olivier Jacques and Holger Brunn. +- Added setup option to reverse title/artist display in MP3 plugin. +- Added support for basic HTTP authorization in MP3 streaming. +- Now passing correct name & path to VDR's status class during MPlayer playback. +- Added commandline option to specify a subdirectory to load sources file from. + Suggested by Ronny Kornexl. +- Added commandline option to specify a directory for the global MPlayer resume + file. Suggested by Ronny Kornexl. +- Added -S option to ppmtoy4m call in example image convert script. Suggested by + Thorsten Gehrig. +- Replaced leftover usleep() calls. Thanks to Malte Schröder. +- Moved cleanup of ID3 cache to a seperate thread to prevent watchdog timeout. + Suggested by Peter Holik. +- Fixed browser excludes taking effect only after the first directory change. + Reported by Soeren Sonnenburg. +- Fixed parsing the filename from MPlayer output. Based on a fix from TomG. +- Fixed MPlayer volume changes. Take non-linear changes in VDR into account. + Reported by Daniel Karsubka. +- Fixed delay when MPlayer process exits at EOF. Reported by Daniel Karsubka. +- Fixed MPlayer volumen handling for VDR 1.4.1-2. Note that the current code + doesn't work with VDR 1.4.1 and 1.4.1-1. +- Fixed button translations with vdr 1.3.38+. Thanks to Ville Skyttä. +- Fixed some gcc 4.1 issues. Thanks to Ville Skyttä. +- Removed explizit libz dependency from Makefile. Suggested by Ville Skyttä. +- Updated Makefile according to changes in VDR 1.3.47 & 1.4.1. +- Updated finish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. + +08.01.2006: Version 0.9.14 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.38) +- Fixed VDR hanging for some seconds when skipping songs and fixed pause mode + freezing live background when using OSS output. Reported by Andy Grobb. +- Now muting DVB audio while using OSS output. +- Finaly restored the function of the back key (jumps directly to plugin main + menu) (vdr >= 1.3.32 only). Thanks to Sascha Volkenandt for the hint. +- During MPlayer playback, the name of the current videofile is now parsed from + the MPlayer output. If you're using some kind of playlist hack, the MPlayer + plugin will now report the correct filename. Based on suggestions from Ronny + Kornexl. +- Extended the example mplayer.sh file to show how a playlist can be passed to + MPLayer. +- Fixed segfault in progress display with skincurses. Thanks to Pasi Juppo for + reporting. +- Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.3.38. + +31.07.2005: Version 0.9.13 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.24) +- Moved OSD position selection to plugin setup menu (as before this works for + non-skined vdr <1.3.7 only). +- Removed DVD navigation from MPlayer slavemode. +- Added support for configurable keys (0-9) in MPlayer slavemode. The slave + command can be entered in the plugin setup menu and is sent to MPlayer during + playback if the key is pressed. +- Added support to display a summary file (plain ascii) in the MPlayer browser. + If you are on a video file, press '0' to display the summary. The summary file + has to be named like the video file but with ".summary" appended (e.g. + video.mpeg -> video.mpeg.summary). +- New MP3 plugin setup option to keep the selection menu opened after selection. + Suggested by Mikko Mäkinen. +- Fixed ringbuffer timeouts in network code. +- Fixed ID3 V2 tag handling. Unusual big tags caused the ID3 scanner to mark the + file as bad. Now correctly skipping ID3 tags during playback too. Reported by + Olaf Henkel. +- Prevent writing to a broken pipe in mplayer slave control. Reported by Gerhard + Steiner. +- Fixed passing AID 0 to mplayer.sh. To allow MPlayer autoselect the audio + stream, set AID to -1 (this can only be achieved by entering 0 and than + pressing left). +- Improved creation of LPCM frames. Based on the changes in muggle 0.1.8. +- Updated french translations. Provided by Jerome Rousset. + +17.03.2005: Version 0.9.12 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.22) +- Fixed background image convert hanging a long time and some other oddities. +- Now filtering image files in the song browser display. +- Extended include field in mp3sources.conf to allow multiple patterns seperated + by '/' e.g. *.mp3/*.ogg/*.txt +- Enhanced image convert script for NTSC format. Thanks to Cym. +- Fixed list sorting for vdr versions before 1.3.15. +- Fixed MPlayer slavemode progress display reappearing on user requested close. +- Now explicitly setting C locale in example image convert script. Thanks to + Tobias Grimm. +- Changed the location where cStatus::MsgReplaying is called. Helps to prevent a + crash in graphlcd. In my opinion cControl API should be called from the + foreground thread only. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz. +- Fixed a huge bunch of typos in the documentation. Thanks to Ville Skyttä. +- Updated finish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg & Ville Skyttä. + +20.02.2005: Version 0.9.11 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.21) +- Now using propper readdir() to scan directory contents rather than the + external find & sort tools. +- Added cover image display during MP3 replay. See the README on how this has + to be configured. If you was using the old image patch, be aware that there + are now new commandline options and that the layout of the cache directory + has changed. Initial patch made by Eloy, currently maintained by Tobias Grimm + for ctvdr-debian package. + +06.02.2005: Version 0.9.10 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.20) +- Fixed MPlayer resume for filenames/directories containing whitespace + characters. +- Fixed vdr 1.3.18+ compatibility with BROKEN_PCM=1. +- Fixed MP3 replay with vdr 1.3.19+. Thanks to Tobias Grimm. +- Fixed huge memory leak in song/decoder handling (approx 22kB/song). Thanks to + the great valgrind tool. +- Fixed some mismatched new[]/delete calls. +- Reduced MP3 decoder memory footprint (stopped state, from 22k to 308). +- Fixed crashes on status display from background threads (e.g. connect to + streamserver). An asyncronous status display was added. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. +- Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.1b and + libsndfile 1.0.11. +- Updated patch for cdfs 0.5c. Correct tracksize for last audio track if a data + track follows. Thanks to Merten Falk. + +10.01.2005: Version 0.9.9 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.18) +- Added global MPlayer resume file. This is used if the directory of the video + file is not writeable. The global resume file is located in the video + directory. +- Added DVD navigation to MPlayer slavemode. Due to this some other functions + have been moved to new keys. See MANUAL file. +- Added some glue for vdr 1.3.18. +- Fixed saving of MPlayer setup option "ResumeMode". You can select if you want + "local/global" or "global only" resume files too. +- Fixed thread deadlock in playmanager and non-blocking libsndfile reader + (appearently only with some pthread versions) and high cpu usage of + background scan thread when using libsndfile decoder. Thanks to Tobias Grimm + for debugging. +- Removed workarounds for broken PCM handling in firmware (PCM pause & + samplerate changes). This requires DVB firmware 261d-rc6 or newer. If you + prefer to use an older firmware, you can use the make commandline option + BROKEN_PCM=1 to enable old behaviour. +- Fixed handling of sym-links in source base path and playlists. +- Fixed path generation for "wide" sym-links. +- Replaced non-reentrant glibc functions with reentrant versions. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. + +28.11.2004: Version 0.9.8 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.14) +- Added MPlayer audiostream selection. Audiostream is selected with the blue + key in the MPlayer menu. The selected stream is passed to the mplayer.sh + script as "AID x" where x is the stream number. For compatibility reasons the + AID parameter is passed after the SLAVE parameter. Due to this, parameter + positions aren't fixed any more. You have to implement a flexible parameter + parsing in mplayer.sh. See the example file how this can be done. Based on a + patch from VDR-Portal. +- Fixed segfault in shuffle code when adding a single song to the current + playlist. Reported by Malte Schröder. +- Fixed segfault in network code (pthread_cancel). Reported by Malte Schröder. +- Fixed mounting/unmounting sources in MPlayer plugin. Reported by Guy Roussin. +- Fixed status display with open (classic) progress display for vdr 1.3.7+. +- Added russian translations (vdr >= 1.3.2). Provided by Vyacheslav Dikonov. + +24.09.2004: Version 0.9.7 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12) +- Added non-blocking reader thread to libsndfile decoder. +- Fixed backward skip and progress display. Reported by Burkhardt Petermann. +- Fixed some locking problems in play manager. +- Fixed handling of samplerate changes for DVB & OSS output. + +13.09.2004: Version 0.9.6 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12) +- Changed the way how the player maintains the ringbuffer to prevent audio + dropouts while background scan is active. +- Increased player ringbuffer size and take care of ringbuffer contents when + skipping forward. +- Prevent full file scan on MP3 decoder check. +- Flushing playlist on playback abort to unblock removable sources. This also + prevents the background scanner to continue after playback was aborted. +- Removed a buffer-to-buffer copy in DVB output. +- Fixed several race conditions where the play manager could discard the + currently played or scanned song. +- Added a patch for cdfs 0.5c to correct discid calculation (applies to cdfs + 2.4.20 as well). + +07.09.2004: Version 0.9.5 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12) +- Resolved several oddities in progress display if the player is idle. +- Now removing trailing '/' from source definitions in *sources.conf and warn + the user about this. +- Outdated entries in the MPlayer resume file are removed now. +- Fixed playback start delay in case the background scanner is working on the + current song. +- Fixed progress display for net streams. Reported by Wolfgang Fritz. +- Fixed MPlayer rewind button (broken by sources fix in 0.9.4). Reported by + Sebastian Kemper. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. +- Added a patch that prevents the VDR core from aborting the MP3 player in + black background mode (see patches subdirectory). + +03.09.2004: Version 0.9.4 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.12) +- Added a queue manager. During playback you can add new songs to the playlist + by selecting them from the MP3 menu/browser. To flush the playlist you have + to stop the player for now. You can add new songs even if the player is kept + idle (see below). +- Replaced setup option "mute at end of list" with "abort player at end of + list". If you set this option to "no" and the end of playlist is reached, the + player is kept idle. To restart playback select a song to restart from there + or "up" to restart from the begining. +- Background scan (formerly known as ID3 prescan) now also can determine the + song level. Note that level scan requires to decode the complete song. This is + done on a seperate thread with nice 5 but nevertheless it needs CPU cycles. If + your system crawls, you can set background scan to "ID3 only" in the plugin + setup menu. +- Added commanline option -C to specify the directory to place the id3cache + file. The default is to place the file into the video directory. +- MPlayer resume feature can now be disabled in the plugin setup menu. No resume + file is created in this case. +- Another fix to the OSS output. Now using little-endian samples only (which + should be supported by all soundcard drivers). +- Fixed mounting/unmounting of MPlayer sources (Bug introduced in 0.9.2). Thanks + to Bill Blough for spotting this one. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. + +03.07.2004: Version 0.9.3 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11) +- If a (single) selected file in the MP3 browser is actualy a playlist (*.m3u), + load the playlist rather than trying to play the file. This allows to have + playlists in subdirectories (by now only selectable from the browser not from + the main menu). Note that song paths must be either absolute or relative to + the location of the playlist file. Suggested by Helmut Auer. +- Now returning replay mode information in MP3 replay. Suggested by Sascha + Volkenandt. +- Now paying attention to values returned by OSS ioctl's. This fixes playback + for sound drivers which doesn't support big-endian samples. Thanks to + Antti-Pekka Liedes for reporting and testing the fix. +- Added setup option to hide the mainmenu entry. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. +- Fixed VDR 1.2.x compile issues. +- Fixed crash on status message display while the classic replay display is + open. + +24.06.2004: Version 0.9.2 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.11) +- Added a setup option to toggle MP3 replay display between classic and skin + version. Note that the big playlist display isn't available in skin mode. +- Added rewind button to MPlayer menu. Suggested by Sebastian Kemper. +- Updated finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. +- Fixed current play time calculation for MPlayer without slave-patch. + Reported by Uwe Scheffler. +- Fixed status messages which were displayed for ever. Reported by Sascha + Volkenandt. + +05.06.2004: Version 0.9.1 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.9) +- Added finnish translations. Provided by Rolf Ahrenberg. +- Adapted to the changes in VDR 1.3.7+. Based on patches provided by Sascha + Volkenandt & Sven Goethel. +- Fixed long standing bug in ID3 tag parsing, when the file contains an + incomplete ID3 tag at the end of file. Thanks to Matt Tovey for debugging. +- Better german translations. Suggested by Andreas Brachold. +- Now ignoring dot-files in file browser. Suggested by Patrick Cernko. +- Now showing total play time in MPlayer progress display. The value may be + inaccurate. Suggested by Patrick Cernko. +- Added resume capability for MPlayer. The resume position is stored in a file + called ".mplayer.resume" in the directory of the MPlayer file. Based on a + patch provided by Patrick Cernko. +- Added a setup option to mute audio at end of playlist. Based on a patch + provided by Christoph Gohle. +- Now accepting absolute paths in playlists, even though the path must point to + somewhere inside the defined source directory. Suggested by Niklaus Stutz. + +08.05.2004: Version 0.9.0 development (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.1) +- Added OSS soundcard output. Use make option WITH_OSS_OUTPUT=1 to compile + support, commandline option -D to change DSP device and plugin setup menu to + select output mode. Thanks to Gunnar Roth. +- Added shoutcast/icecast metadata parsing. Thanks to Andreas Brachold. +- Now restoring locale settings in MPlayer plugin. +- Fixed MPlayer exit problem while paused. +- Fixed showing outdated song name shortly after start of a new song. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +16.01.2004: Version 0.8.3 (vdr 1.2.6/1.3.1) +- Fixed shutting down network connection (race condition). +- Added a pointer to Juri's mplayer.sh in the README. +- Fixed compilation problem with VDR 1.3.x and Beauty-Patch. + +16.11.2003: Version 0.8.2 (vdr 1.2.6) +- Fixed quoting special shell characters when calling MPlayer. +- Now sending a "quit" to MPlayer when in slave mode rather than killing the + process. +- Updated recommended library versions to libmad/libid3tag 0.15.0b and + libsndfile 1.0.5. + +08.08.2003: Version 0.8.1 (vdr 1.2.2) +- Fixed network code for DOS-style \r\n (Thanks to Roland Praml). + +01.06.2003: Version 0.8.0 (vdr 1.2.0) +- Fixed thread cancelation in network code (valgrind hits). +- Stable release 0.8.0. + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +25.05.2003: Version 0.7.15 plugin development (vdr 1.1.33) +- Adapted to the changes in vdr 1.1.33. +- Corrected the README about the fact that the plugins require vdr 1.1.29+. +- Added Spanish & Catalan translations. Thanks to Ramon Roca. + +18.05.2003: Version 0.7.14 plugin development (vdr 1.1.32) +- Fixed ringbuffer handling for changes in vdr 1.1.31/32. +- MPlayer progressbar can be moved up/down now. Use keys 6/9 while the + progressbar is displayed. +- Added Swedish translations. Thanks to Jan Ekholm. + +27.04.2003: Version 0.7.13 plugin development (vdr 1.1.29) +- Fixed compile error due to changes in vdr 1.1.29. +- Fixed VDR version check. + +18.04.2003: Version 0.7.12 plugin development (vdr 1.1.27) +- Added support for MPlayers slave commands "get_percent_pos" & + "get_time_length". Gives better results for the progressbar. The slavemode + patch for MPlayer is still needed as not all video formats provide + information through these slave commands. +- Fixed s/ms mixup in remote CDDB connect. +- Fixed possible deadlock-race in mp3 & snd decoder. +- Added OggVorbis decoder. libvorbis & libvorbisfile needed. +- Updated French translations. Thanks to Pierre-Henri Beguin. +- Added VDR version check. + +27.03.2003: Version 0.7.11 plugin development (vdr 1.1.26) +- Fixed MPlayer AudioDelay(). Thanks to Sven Goethel. +- Fixed MPlayer key repeat. Thanks to Reinhard Walter Buchner. +- Added yellow/green key to MPlayer control to skip back/forward a minute. + Key assignment may change in future for these keys. +- Fixed Makefile for DVB includes. +- Fixed creation of cMPlayerStatus according to the rules. +- Fixed pipe reading and parse code. Caused all kind of weird behaviour. +- Some changes to the MPlayer pipe handling. +- Changed the network ringbuffer handling. You should use VDR version 1.1.25+ + or you may suffer from high cpu load during network streaming. +- Added a console message if a plugin fails to start due to a missing + sources.conf. + +03.02.2003: Version 0.7.10 plugin development (vdr 1.1.23) +- Added patches for MPlayer 0.90rc1 (contributed by Beppe on the VDR ML). +- Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.1.22. +- Removed speed drift detection. Makes not much sense with HEAD driver, as this + supports non-48kHz modes anyways. + +18.12.2002: Version 0.7.9 plugin development (vdr 1.1.20) +- Added commandline option to specify a script which is called before & after + network access (e.g. for dial-up networking) (suggested by Matthias Raus). +- Fixed playback speed check for (partly) corrupted files. +- Fixed blocking frontend thread during possibly slow playback startup. +- Added support for shoutcast/icecast streams. See MANUAL for URL file format + and setup menu options. + +24.11.2002: Version 0.7.8 plugin development (vdr 1.1.16) +- Speed up local CDDB database search with huge databases. Due to this, only + one subdirectory level is allowed in the database directory (usually the + category name). This follows the common xmcd database layout. +- Added code for remote CDDB lookups. cddb.sh script is no longer needed. Please + note, that the commandline options have changed. +- Added some status output while scanning/loading playlists to inform the user. + +13.11.2002: Version 0.7.7 plugin development (vdr 1.1.16) +- Updated Makefile to support Make.config. +- Removed a deadlock together with the rt-patch. +- Added support for the new remote keys (play,pause,fastfwd/rwd). + +06.10.2002: Version 0.7.6 plugin development (vdr 1.1.12) +- Removed a class name conflict (cSource) introduced with the changes in + vdr 1.1.12. +- Added a field to the sources.conf files to specify which kind of files should + be used on a source (see mp3sources.conf.example). + +06.09.2002: Version 0.7.5 plugin development (vdr 1.1.8) +- Fixed bug in new status string code, which crashed VDR if a song without + artist tag was played. +- Fixed parsing error of MPlayer output in slavemode if "C" is not the current + locale. +- Fixed jump to minute in MPlayer slavemode. +- If you have installed the "replay mode beauty patch" the new symbols are used + for MPlayer progressbar too. This feature is auto-detected in the Makefile. + +01.09.2002: Version 0.7.4 plugin development (vdr 1.1.8) +- Changed the status string to show the loop/shuffle state too. +- Fixed replay problem with background mode "black". With vdr 1.1.8 you must + apply the included patch to the base source. +- Changed the way mplayer.sh is called. Now it shouldn't be necessary to give + the full path to the script if the script is in the current PATH. +- Added MANUAL a file. +- New setup option SlaveMode for MPlayer. With SlaveMode enabled you can + control MPlayer via VDR. A progress display is available too. See MANUAL for + details (thanks to Dariush Forouher). + +23.08.2002: Version 0.7.3 plugin development (vdr 1.1.7) +- Now using libsndfile 1.x.x. You must update you system. The plugin won't + compile with version 0.0.x. +- Fixed detection if MPlayer is still running. +- Fixed GetIndex() to return frames rather than seconds (thanks to Martin + Hammerschmidt). +- The last second of the last song in a playlist wasn't played. Now waiting + until the ringbuffer is really empty. + +16.08.2002: Version 0.7.2 plugin development (vdr 1.1.7) +- Fixed gcc 2.96 compiling error due to variable name "not". +- Fixed a undefined symbol error when compiling without libsndfile. +- Fixed a deadlock in the MP3 player. +- Removed old stale LCD code parts. +- Now using free() on all strings. +- Adapted to the API changes in vdr 1.1.7. + +11.08.2002: Version 0.7.1 plugin development (vdr 1.1.6) +- Added some calls to the status monitor. +- Fixed internationalization (thanks to David Spiller). +- Fixed jump to the next song at the end of current song (thanks to David + Spiller). +- Replaced all busy usleep wait loops with proper condition variables. +- Removed one thread level in the MPlayer plugin. + +08.08.2002: Version 0.7.0 plugin development (vdr 1.1.6) +- Updated the source base to release version 0.6.2. +- Added MPlayer plugin. +- MP3 playback now functionaly. + +13.05.2002: Version 0.0.2 plugin development (vdr 1.1.2) +- Added setup menu page and saving of setup options. +- Adding to playlist and playlist rename now functional. Beside playback all + menus are (better should be) working. +- Now using confdir/plugins/mp3sources.conf for sources config. + +10.05.2002: Version 0.0.1 plugin development (vdr 1.1.1) +- Initial revision.
