vdr (2.2.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium
* New VDR configuration file
All command line options are now configured in /etc/vdr/conf.d/00-vdr.conf.
The following config options formerly configured in /etc/default/vdr must
manually be moved to 00-vdr.conf:
VIDEO_DIR (--video), SVDRP_PORT (--port), USER (--user), LIRC (--lirc),
VFAT (--vfat), VDR_CHARSET_OVERRID (--chartab)
See man(1) vdr. You can also run the following command, which will try to
migrate these options automatically:
sh /usr/share/vdr/migrate-old-config.sh || true
* Now using /etc/vdr/conf.d for loading plugins
VDR plugin packages now install a config file to /etc/vdr/conf.avail/.
This is basically the same as the old config file
/etc/vdr/plugins/plugin-<name>.conf and contains the command line
arguments passed to the plugin.
By creating a symlink in /etc/vdr/conf.d/ which points to the config in
conf.avail/ the plugin gets enabled for loading when the vdr daemon is
started.
The changed settings from the old config are not automatically migrated to
the new config files. You have to do this manually. Basically you can simply
copy all options from /etc/vdr/plugins/plugin-<name>.conf to
/etc/vdr/conf.avail/<name>.conf. You just have to retain the [<name>] section
marker at the top of the new config file.
* Support for multiple video directories dropped
The code for distributing recordings over several video directories has been
removed. VDR now by default assumes that the video directory is one big disk.
It is recommended to use e.g. mhddfs or LVM to combine multiple volumes.
The default video directory for VDR now is /var/lib/video. This can be changed
by modifying the --video setting in /etc/vdr/conf.d/00-vdr.conf.
* Systemd support
The vdr package now ships a systemd unit file. This means where systemd is
used, the old SysVInit script and runvdr will be ignored. Some of the old
settings available in /etc/default/vdr have been dropped. Most of them, like
the LIRC interface can now be configured in /etc/vdr/conf.d/00-vdr.conf.

vdr (1.7.17-1) unstable; urgency=low
* Changed Full Featured DVB card support
Starting with VDR 1.7 support for full featured DVB cards (the ones with
built-in SDTV video output) requires one to install an extra plug-in provided
by the vdr-plugin-dvbsddevice package.
Please also note, that proper trick speed playback with a full featured DVB
card needs an improved av7110 firmware. Without this firmware you might
experience problems like jumping backwards when stopping fast-forward playback.
The improved firmware is provided by Oliver Endriss and can be download here:
http://www.escape-edv.de/endriss/firmware/
* Dropped vdr-* scripts
The vdr-daemon, vdr-lirc and vdr-rcu wrapper scripts as well as the vdr-kbd
binary have been removed from the package. Please use /use/bin/vdr with the
options "--no-kbd", "--lirc" and "--rcu" instead.

vdr (1.4.7-1) experimental; urgency=low
The script /usr/lib/vdr/vdr-groups.sh may now be used by plugins to
manage the group memberships of the user 'vdr'. See README.Debian
for details on how to use this script.
If you manually need to add the user 'vdr' to a group, you should
add the group name to /etc/vdr/vdr-groups. This way the vdr-groups.sh
script used by plugin installation/deinstallation procedures does
not try to remove vdr from this group.

vdr (1.2.6-9) experimental; urgency=low
This release adds a patch which allows us to have just one binary-
package for all four control-methods, so we do not need the
packages vdr-daemon, vdr-kbd, vdr-lirc and vdr-rcu anymore.
You can run vdr with the control-method you want by calling
/usr/bin/vdr-{daemon,kbd,lirc,rcu} or by using
update-alternatives --config vdr
and setting it to the desired control-method. (lirc is default)
After this a call of /usr/bin/vdr will always use the control-
method you selected with update-alternatives.

vdr (1.2.6-6) unstable; urgency=low
The most important change in this release is that vdr from now on
will run under the username vdr, not as root. This is due to some
security problems when vdr runs as root. The video-directory and
configfiles will be changed at installation, so they are owned by
the user and group vdr.
The second thing is that the automatic shutdown of vdr is now disabled
by default, you can enable it again by changing ENABLE_SHUTDOWN to 1
in /etc/default/vdr.
In this release we also changed the default VIDEO_DIR from
/var/lib/video to /var/lib/video.00, to make adding extra harddisks
for vdr very easy by just creating /var/lib/video.0{1,2,3,...} and
mounting the drive(s) there. In existing installations we will simply
create a symlink /var/lib/video.00 which points to /var/lib/video. In
new installations /var/lib/video will be a symlink which points to
/var/lib/video.00. (These changes will only be asked for when you
selected yes in the debconf-question to create the video-directory!)

vdr (1.2.6-4) unstable; urgency=low
This is the first release from the VDR and DVB Packaging Team
<pkg-vdr-dvb-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>
Many thanks to Tobias Grimm and Thomas Günther for the various improvements
of the package.
In this Release, we changed the path of the conf-files to /var/lib/vdr,
static conf-files will still be under /etc/vdr, and symlinked to
/var/lib/vdr.
If you already have non-static files (channels.conf, remote.conf,
setup.conf and timers.conf), these files will be moved by the
postinst-script to /var/lib/vdr.
The most important change in this release is the new init-system of vdr,
which was taken from c't-vdr, a woody-based distribution, optimized for vdr.
- Plugins are no longer loaded via /etc/default/vdr. Instead of this,
every installed plugin will be loaded automatically. The order of the
plugins can be configured via /etc/vdr/plugins/order.conf.
- The commands.conf and the reccmds.conf files will be auto-generated
by the init-script for better integration of vdr-addons.
If you already have a commands.conf or reccmds.conf, you should move it
to /etc/vdr/command-hooks/{commands|reccmds}.custom.conf .
