[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

the softdevice team (Torgeir Veimo, Martin Wache and me, Stefan Lucke)
is pleased to announce a new release of vdr's softdevice plugin.

General info:
? Softdevice plugin enables vdr to run on your desktop with
? so called budget cards. You'll get vdr output via framebuffer or X11-Xv or
? DirectFB or vidix to your screen. Decoding is done via ffmpeg.

Support of vdr versions earlier than vdr-1.3.7 has been removed.

Supported vdr versions: 1.3.x, 1.4.x and 1.5.x

Plugin's homepage is located at: http://softdevice.berlios.de/

Changelog since last release:
2007-04-11: softdevice-0.4.0
   - xv-out: activate suspend/resume key (r/R) via configure (by Artur Skawina).
   - i18n: some german translations.
   - osd: moved aspect detection entry to "Cropping" sub menu.
2007-04-03:
   - add automatic border detection, based on a patch by Roland Praml.
   - altivec needs 16 byte alignment
   - compile fix for Darwin
   - make flag for shared linking a variable
   - add BGRA32 mode to SoftOsd
   - compile linux RTC syncing mode support only on Linux.
   - detect cpu endianness and define CPU_BIGENDIAN if necessary.
   - add video-quartz and audio-macos for Mac Os X support
2007-03-25:
   - fix types in GetTime().
   - pts values are stored in uint64_t
   - almost complete rewrite of video-fb. Supported are now 15,16,24 and 32 bit
     depth framebuffers. The osd is rendered with software alpha blending,
     and it is even faster :-)
2007-03-12:
   - compile fix for recent ffmpeg SVN
   - include ffmpeg headers as 'extern "C"'
   - enable and use as default the software mixer. The old behaviour (use the
     system's mixer) can be selected via -vo oss:mixer.
   - increase the stepsize of the software mixer.
   - don't scale audio if the volume is at maximum.
   - set edge_width/_height always to zero. Fixes picture shiftes with
     the ShmClient. This is not the optimal(/final) solution...
2007-03-04:
   - video-dfb: Make use of SetSourceRectangle() runtime selectable,
                changed *SetSourceLocation* to SetSourceRectangle.
2007-02-26:
   - softlog: sanitycheck for zero length filenames and fix use filename member
              when changeing append mode.
   - video-dfb: shifted most prints via softlog.
   - video sync: preparation for new changeable sync parameters.
2007-02-24:
   - Makefile: add --remove-destination , so that "make plugins" does not
     disturb a running vdr.
   - softlog: added indicator for priority I(nfo), E(rror), D(ebug), T(race).
   - video-vidix: shifted prints via softlog.
2007-02-13:
   - fix gettid compile error on some systems.
2007-02-11:
   - Some more options selectable via log menu.
2007-02-10:
   - Pause the playback of recordings when suspended (by Marko M?kel?)
   - add configurable logging
   - report Xrun audio duration
2007-01-28:
   - don't lock NULL pictures in cVideo::GetLockLastPic().
   - implement avcodec_decode_audio2() interface to libavcodec.
   - set ic->bp.is_streamed to true, to avoid calls to unimlemented seek method.
   - add architecture "x86_64" to configure and report unsupported
     architectures.
   - add StealToBitmap() for OSD in grabbed image.
   - add OSD with alpha blending to grabbed images.
2007-01-27:
   - video-dfb: - Limit VIA-unichrome name compare to 19 chars.
                - Detect a patched DirectFB version for VIA CN700 support,
                  and set some parameters for video layer V3:
                    pixelformat YUY2, NO hardware decoding support .
2007-01-20:
   - Fixed video-dfb for VIA-unichrome with current DirectFB cvs. In directfbrc
     pixelformat=AiRGB must be specified.
2007-01-15:
   - introduce yuv420_to_rgb15() (mmx acceleration still missing).
   - properly start cShmRemote thread in ShmClient.
   - avoid "BadWindow" errors by using an errror handler. Also fix
     "BadWindow" errors which occur after the xscreensaver has once been
     active.
   - fix vidWin for non zero VidX1 and VidY1.
2006-12-17:
   - Silence some warnings with gcc 4.1.1.
   - Adjust MMX and C version of fast_memcpy() to the same return type.
   - Fix wrong colors in yuv420_to_yuy2() when all MMX is disabled.
2006-12-13:
   - don't undefine X cursur on keypresses, to prevent the fake shift key
     press from producing flickering of the mouse cursor.
   - fix possible segfault.
   - fix possible division by zero.
   - comment out fake key sending syslog message
   - add cOSSAudioOut::GetDelay() (supplied by Lubos Novak).
2006-12-03:
   - applied patch from Matthias Schwarzott for vdr uint64 change.
   - unify yuv420_to_rgbXX() and yv12_to_yuy2_line() functions to allow
     usage in CopyScalePicBuf()
   - change CopyPicBuf_YUV420P_to_YUY() to a general YUV420P to planar
     conversion method
   - introduce the possibility to scale the video window (for yaepg).
   - detection of and support for the yaepg-patch.
   - add open sound system support (contributed by Lubos Novak).
     GetDelay() is commented out, this means the A/V synchronization
     is broken.
   - add open sound system detection to configure
2006-11-26:
   - use brackets in WRITE_RGB16 macro, introduce WRITE_RGB15 (untested)
     and ARGB_TO_RGB.
   - introduce FillPicBuffer()
   - make it possible to use a color key other than 0x000000 for video-xv,
     video-shm and ShmClient
   - change the default color key of xv-out to 0x001a0f00LL
   - add support for X11 drivers without xv support
2006-11-22:
   - remove cShmVideo::Process() method, and instead signal PICT_SIG
     from cShmRemote to simulate a timeout.
   - fix ShmClient not forwarding to key presses to vdr on AMD64
     (patch by peterw2k@vdr-portal)
2006-11-20:
   - send fake key events to disable any screen saver (patch by
     peterw2k@vdr-portal)
2006-11-16:
   - fix wrong colors when using GRAB with the cle266 hardware decoder
     (patch by Laz)
   - better colorkey support in SoftOsd.c, with interface to video.c
   - fix a bug which causes bad resolution on upscaling
   - fix a bug which causes segfaults when upscaling to huge images
   - reintroduce the chessboard pattern for pseudo alpha blending
   - use WRITE_RGB macros from utils.h
2006-11-11:
   - !! removed support for vdr versions older than vdr-1.3.7 !!
2006-11-08:
   - change PIX_FMT_RGB32 to PIX_FMT_RGBA32 to support older ffmpeg versions
2006-11-07:
   - add yuv to rgb conversion routines for rgb32, rgb24, bgr24 and rgb16
   - audio-alsa: restore samplerate after a unsuccessfull change request
   - add scaling methods with yuv to rgb conversion
   - add packed pixel format support to ClearPicBuffer()
   - move AllocatePicBuffer(), DeallocatePicBuffer(), GetFormatBPP and
     GetChromaSubSample() out of cPicBufferManager
   - add packed pixel format to PicBuffer
   - add GetLockLastPic() to video.h
   - add GrabImage() support. Currently there is no OSD in the grabbed
     images.
   - some more debugging info in softdevice.c
   - add explanations to error messages in ShmClient.c
