  14                 <description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd project&lt;/a&gt;
  15 got a new set of developers a few weeks ago, after the original
  16 developer decided to step down and pass the project to fresh blod.
  17 This project is now maintained by Petter Reinholdtsen and Steve
  18 Dibb.&lt;/p&gt;
  19
  20 &lt;p&gt;I just wrapped up
  21 &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/message/32896061/&quot;&gt;a
  22 new lsdvd release&lt;/a&gt;, available in git or from
  23 &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/projects/lsdvd/files/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;the
  24 download page&lt;/a&gt;.  This is the changelog dated 2014-10-03 for version
  25 0.17.&lt;/p&gt;
  26
  27 &lt;ul&gt;
  28
  29  &lt;li&gt;Ignore &#39;phantom&#39; audio, subtitle tracks&lt;/li&gt;
  30  &lt;li&gt;Check for garbage in the program chains, which indicate that a track is
  31    non-existant, to work around additional copy protection&lt;/li&gt;
  32  &lt;li&gt;Fix displaying content type for audio tracks, subtitles&lt;/li&gt;
  33  &lt;li&gt;Fix pallete display of first entry&lt;/li&gt;
  34  &lt;li&gt;Fix include orders&lt;/li&gt;
  35  &lt;li&gt;Ignore read errors in titles that would not be displayed anyway&lt;/li&gt;
  36  &lt;li&gt;Fix the chapter count&lt;/li&gt;
  37  &lt;li&gt;Make sure the array size and the array limit used when initialising
  38    the palette size is the same.&lt;/li&gt;
  39  &lt;li&gt;Fix array printing.&lt;/li&gt;
  40  &lt;li&gt;Correct subsecond calculations.&lt;/li&gt;
  41  &lt;li&gt;Add sector information to the output format.&lt;/li&gt;
  42  &lt;li&gt;Clean up code to be closer to ANSI C and compile without warnings
  43    with more GCC compiler warnings.&lt;/li&gt;
  44
  45 &lt;/ul&gt;
  46
  47 &lt;p&gt;This change bring together patches for lsdvd in use in various
  48 Linux and Unix distributions, as well as patches submitted to the
  49 project the last nine years.  Please check it out. :)&lt;/p&gt;

  58                 <description>&lt;p&gt;I use the &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/&quot;&gt;lsdvd tool&lt;/a&gt;
  59 to handle my fairly large DVD collection.  It is a nice command line
  60 tool to get details about a DVD, like title, tracks, track length,
  61 etc, in XML, Perl or human readable format.  But lsdvd have not seen
  62 any new development since 2006 and had a few irritating bugs affecting
  63 its use with some DVDs.  Upstream seemed to be dead, and in January I
  64 sent a small probe asking for a version control repository for the
  65 project, without any reply.  But I use it regularly and would like to
  66 get &lt;a href=&quot;https://packages.qa.debian.org/lsdvd&quot;&gt;an updated version
  67 into Debian&lt;/a&gt;.  So two weeks ago I tried harder to get in touch with
  68 the project admin, and after getting a reply from him explaining that
  69 he was no longer interested in the project, I asked if I could take
  70 over.  And yesterday, I became project admin.&lt;/p&gt;
  71
  72 &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ve been in touch with a Gentoo developer and the Debian
  73 maintainer interested in joining forces to maintain the upstream
  74 project, and I hope we can get a new release out fairly quickly,
  75 collecting the patches spread around on the internet into on place.
  76 I&#39;ve added the relevant Debian patches to the freshly created git
  77 repository, and expect the Gentoo patches to make it too.  If you got
  78 a DVD collection and care about command line tools, check out
  79 &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/git/ci/master/tree/&quot;&gt;the git source&lt;/a&gt; and join
  80 &lt;a href=&quot;https://sourceforge.net/p/lsdvd/mailman/&quot;&gt;the project mailing
  81 list&lt;/a&gt;. :)&lt;/p&gt;
