[Stefan Huelswitt]

Hi,
a new version of the MP3/MPlayer plugin is available from my
homepage.
http://www.muempf.de/down/vdr-mp3-0.9.15.tar.gz

NEWS:

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.

Re: [vdr] Re: Channel sorting idea

Yes. The following algorithm for NEW CHANNELS would be good:

1) Can I receive any data from thic channel?
   (i.e. does the femon plugin show a video rate  0)
   If no: do not create a channels.conf entry.

2) Is the audio language among the configured ones?
   If yes: Move to New Channels group.
   If no: Move to Cannot Understand group.

It might also be helpful if the New Channels and
Cannot Understand groups will be scanned again
regularly using the same algorithm, automatically deleting
any channel that fails test 1) above.
Such a scan should not touch the other groups,
because I might have for example a spanish music channel
in them that I do want to watch in spite of the fact that
I do not understand spanish.


Use autosort plugin
http://www.copypointburscheid.de/linux/vdr-autosort-0.0.10.tgz
It is not perfect but does most of those things.

I was thinking of something more like this for backwards compatibility:
