- update S19E2, based on emulated scan with logfiles
from easy-vdr.de developers.
- move freq calculations from Hz to MHz to separate func
- if tuning fails on on any tp; instead of simply retrying with same
settings -> redo with as much as possible params to AUTO. On some
wrong NIT tables, params are just wrong, this
*may
* help in some cases.
- start reworking VLC xspf playlist:

* validate using http://validator.xspf.org/
(NOTE: VLC-2.1.4 saved DVB xspf doesnt conform to XSPF)

* compare to VLC-2.1.4

being too small by one byte.

Sun Jul 15 14:00:00 2012 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20120605
- since some dvb drivers are buggy and dont tune DVB-S with ROLLOFF_AUTO,
therefore now explictly set ROLLOFF_35 in case of DVB-S. Thanks to R.Warsow
for report && testing.
NOTE: this is just a work-around for broken DVB-S drivers,
since DVB-S means by DVB standard
*always
* RO = 0.35

- VLC xspf output: as VLC-2.x.x no longer supports comma (VLC-1.x.x did) but only colon
as separator, update xspf output format accordingly. Thanks to Jacek Sliwerski for
report && samples.
- increase max number of supported dvb adapters, based on a patch send by Julian Scheel.

* auto scan: /dev/dvb/adapter(0..15)

* by option -a : /dev/dvb/adapter(0..31)
- blacklist ( = look for a better device on auto scan ) Pinnacle PCTV 290e for cable:

* known to have weakness on cable because of integrated preamp

* it\'s driver doesnt report symbolrates correctly.

* for terrestrial scan it\'s still a preferred device
- no longer distribute a precompiled version of w_scan inside package.
- Version 20120415
- add a missing \'break\' for initial tuning data on satellite,
reported by L. Dolezel
- rework audio language descriptor to avoid segfault,
reported by L. Dolezel
- add Israel DVB-T, requested by B. Nahari
- update S13E0 transponders
- fix bug introduced by \'transponder scan logic modified\' in 20120128,
which prevents -x option on US vsb/qam, reported by \'locuse\'
- add experimental cmake build support. For now building with autotools
is still the standard way, but if you want to test, use
cd w_scan-
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

Tue Feb 14 13:00:00 2012 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20120128
- modify dvb api < 5.5 logic, to find out which delsys are supported by hw
- init-data: plot only verified data
- transponder scan logic modified:

* alloc_transponder(): add newly allocated transponder only to new_transponders,
if freq not yet known.

* tune_to_transponder(): add tuned transponder only to scanned_transponders,
if freq not yet known.

* find_transponder(): replaced by find_transponder_by_freq()

* TODO: check side effects on 2nd gen delsys
- Version 20120112
- add hack to allow compile against api 5.3
- Version 20120111
- initial DVB-T2 support. Thanks for testing, code snippets and suggestions to Rolf Ahrenberg.
- go back to allow to compile with DVB-API >= 5.3 and remove configure check (too early)
- add video type to vdr output
- change CAid to uppercase in vdr output
- restructure Parameter print inside vdr output
- add audio type and subtitling pids if vdr version > 1.7 (even if no \'1.8.0\' exists yet)
- Version 20120108
- fix a few compiler warnings, reported by rofa
- fix configure script to check for DVB API >= 5.5 as reported by rofa
- copy current transponder before parsing NIT in case of terrestrial
since T2 delsys descriptor doesnt report all settings belonging to hardware.
- Version 20120107
- big cleanup:

* no longer tune with dvb api 3.2 drivers (pls upgrade your drivers)

* remove all occurencies of..
- BANDWIDTH_
*
- FE_QPSK
- FE_QAM
- FE_OFDM
- FE_ATSC

* remove #ifdef\'s for features in dvb api added before 5.5;
therefore: COMPILING NOW NEEDS DVB API 5.5 OR HIGHER !

* because ofdm is no longer used by DVB-T only, Satellite frontends not
only use QPSK, DVB-C2 will use OFDM similar to DVB-T(2):
- rename ofdm_
* to terr_
*
- rename qam_
* to cable_
*
- rename qpsk_
* to sat_
*
- rename tuning parameters
- prepare on newer desciptors:

* add T2_delivery_system_descriptor (untested - need testers)

* add C2_delivery_system_descriptor (no linux support yet at all)

* prepare on SH_delivery_system_descriptor (no functionality yet)

* add network_change_notify_descriptor (no functionality yet)
- prepare on DVB-T2 scan:

* add bandwidths 10MHz, 1,712MHz

* add FEC_3_5, FEC_4_5 (DVB-T2)

* add QAM256 to terrestrial scan (DVB-T2)

* add transmission modes 1k,16k,32k (DVB-T2)

* add guard interval 1/128, 19/128, 19/256
- add several new items to the internal transponder tuning data for later support of
DVB-C2 and DVB-T2
- now set plp_id during tune id terrestrial scan and delivery_system = SYS_DVBT2
- try to discover supported delivery_systems per frontend using new ioctl DTV_ENUM_DELSYS
if DVB driver has api version 5.5 or higher (fallback otherwise)
- now do CRC32 checks in w_scan and prolong timeouts if CRC failures
occur (may help in some cases if bad reception)
- extend output format for \'scan\' initial_tuning_data to deal with
DVB-T2/DVB-C2.

* old: # T [# comment]
[#] C [# comment]

* new: # T[2] [plp_id] [system_id] [# comment]
[#] C[2] [plp_id] [data_slice_id] [system_id] [# comment]
(NOTE: it\'s time to adopt \'scan\' to API V5 && at least DVB-T2!)
- update documentation in ./doc to reflect file change of initial_tuning_data

Thu Oct 20 14:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20111011
- add S152E0, S156E0, S166E0, update S160E0, thanks to ozvdr (Hans)
- no longer skip over the following audio formats in case of VDR output (now supported by vdr)

* 13818-7 audio w. ADTS transp syntax

* 14496-3 audio w. LATM transp syntax
- change xine output:
old: output standard audio only.
new: output AC3 audio. If not found, fall back to standard audio
- change mplayer output:
old: output \'+\' separated list of standard audio pids.
new: output \'+\' separated list of ac3 audio pids, followed by standard audio pids.
- change vlc xspf output:

* apply stray newlines patch for vlc dvb-s format,
as reported by Juergen Lock (cosmetics)

* convert to UTF-8 using glibc

* remove unneeded duplicated char recoding

Sun Jul 3 14:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110702

* Amos 1/2/3

Tue May 3 14:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110502
- fix wrong ATSC 8VSB and 16VSB identifiers for xine output, thanks to M.Krufky
- now assume country = US, if frontend type = ATSC. This should work, since
most non-US countries using ATSC still use the same channel lists as US.
- now assume vdr format vdr-1.7, if VSB/QAM-B scan with vdr settings.
ATSC users of VDR anyway need to patch their sources or upgrade to
latest developer releases.
- check if choosen frontend type fits to choosen scan type
- extend -a option to allow string /dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM
you may now use -a (0..7) or -a /dev/dvb/adapter(0..7)/frontend(0..7)

Fri Apr 15 14:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110410
- fix qam setting BR
- add option -C , output coding (default: guess users codepage).
if given, w_scan uses iconv to translate to this charset,
i.e. \'w_scan -fc -cDE -C utf-8\'
if not given, w_scan tries to
*guess
* your charset and translates to that.
- now guess users country if -c not given.
- add compiler flags: Wall, Wextra, Wno-comment, Wswitch-default, Wno-unused-parameter
- remove all remaining whitespaces.

Thu Apr 7 14:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110329
- add Brasil ISDB-T/DVB-C, thanks to Mauro Carvalho Chehab
- changed command line option \'-S\':

* ordering of srates

* remove 7000, because unreasonable
- update man page accordingly
- update S23E5 TP16
- Version 20110313
- update S41E9 and rename to S42E0

Thu Mar 24 13:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110306
- NOTEAATTmaintainers: it\'s called \'w_scan\', not \'w-scan\' or \'wscan\'.

Please fix if mistyped in your repo.
- fix memory leak in parse-dvbscan.c:142 (dvbscan_parse_tuningdata; char
* buf)
- fix memory leak in parse-dvbscan.c:489 (dvbscan_parse_rotor_positions; char
* buf)
- fix double deallocating pointer in scan.c:2999 (main; int frontend_fd)
- fix memory leak in scan.c:2654 (main; char
* country)
- fix memory leak in scan.c:2722 (main; char
* satellite)
- fix memory leak in scan.c:3192 (main; char
* initdata)
- remove unused videodev.h from countries.c. Thanks to Felix Kaechele.
- fix octals in countries.c (backport from vdr-plugin wirbelscan-0.0.7)
- check/report hardware frequency and symbolrate limits to avoid error
messages in syslog
- fix option -L (VLC output) in case of DVB-S. Thanks to Juergen Lock.

Fri Feb 25 13:00:00 2011 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de
- Update to version 20110206
- bugfix: fix wrong comparison in check_frontend(), which lets the caller assume
that to not yet have pll lock and wait until timeout is over. This may speed up
each tuning to a new transponder a little. Thanks to Dick Streefland.
- set PILOT_AUTO on satellite transponders found by NIT. There\'s no flag inside NIT
to find explicitly \'ON\' or \'OFF\', so AUTO is the very best approach here.
Thanks to Dick Streefland.
- change to in satellites.{c,h} and countries.{c.h} for better compat
with wirbelscan-0.0.6.
- add channel identifier USERLIST to channellist_t for compat with wirbelscan-0.0.6

Tue Dec 21 13:00:00 2010 joerg.lorenzenAATTki.tng.de

- Update to version 20100529
- bugfix: if compiled with DVB-API-5.x, but using DVB-API-3.2 AATT DVB-S,
IF was not assigned before tuning. Thanks to Juergen Lock.
- added some descriptor id\'s
- update Astra 1E/1G/3A
