VDR maintenance patch 1.4.1-4 is now available at
ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.1-4.diff
This is a 'diff' against version 1.4.1-3 (which is the official version 1.4.1, patched with ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.1-1.diff, ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.1-2.diff and ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/vdr/Developer/vdr-1.4.1-3.diff).
Small fixes to the officially released VDR versions will be first made available as "maintenance patches" in the Developer directory, so that they can be reviewed and tested before a new official release is published.
So please apply the above patch and report whether it works (or if it causes any new problems).
This version requires plugins to be recompiled.
The changes since version 1.4.1-3:
- Fixed converting the port number in the "connect from..." log message of SVDRP (thanks to Ville Skyttä). - Made the cCiSession members sessionId and resourceId uint16_t and uint32_t, respectively, to match their types in the CI session data (thanks to Ville Skyttä for reporting that there are places where ntohs() is assigned to different types). - Changed the way a device is selected for receiving in order to keep devices with CAMs better available, even if this means recording on the primary device (reported by Jörn Reder; thanks to Anssi Hannula for improving handling Transfer Mode devices in this). - No longer stopping removing empty directories if an error occurs (thanks to Oliver Endriss). - Added a log error message to cPlugin::ConfigDirectory() in case a plugin calls it from a separate thread (reported by Udo Richter).
Have fun!

Yet you didn't change APIVERSION. I see your problem, you already raised it to 1.4.2, and don't want APIVERSION go to 1.4.3 even before 1.4.2 is released.
I would recommend having an independent version numbering for APIVERSION, without relation to the VDR version.

It was probably a big mistake to introduce APIVERSION in the first place. I'm already regretting I've ever let myself be talked into doing this...
APIVERSION is only incremented in levels of official VDR releases. During maintenance patches it may at some point be incremented to the next official release version, but that's it.

After updating to maintenance 4, I am getting the following error message when starting vdr:
Aug 13 04:28:53 sid vdr: [16474] ERROR: plugin '<no name given>' called cPlugin::ConfigDirectory(), which is not thread safe!
Am I missing something? Do all of the plugins have to be modified now to not use "cPlugin::ConfigDirectory"? What is the alternative call?
Best Regards.

Sorry, I understand now what the problem is. One of my plugins was calling cPlugin::ConfigDirectory from the same thread.
