RTSP Network Devices

Notice: You need at least Version 1.22+ of the DVBViewer Recording Service for the new functions.

A new virtual network device has been added. The SAT>IP / RTSP Devices is compatible with the SAT>IP protocol by SES and can be used with compatible Servers. Additionally the devices support the DVB>IP extension of the Recording Service.

A RTSP Device normally consists of three parts

• The RTSP part which is a TCP protocol similar to Http. This part is the controlling instance of the device and send all commands to the server.

• The RTP part which is UDP based and responsible for the TS streaming. RTP always uses even port numbers.

• The RTCP part which is UDP based and used for status messages (signal quality  etc).
  The RTCP part always uses the RTP port + 1.

You can add RTSP devices via the RS Connection wizard or manually with the add device (+) button on the hardware options page.

The setup of these manually added devices is quite simple.

• The Servers list presents all found SAT>IP Servers. If it's empty check if the firewall allows UPnP packets. SAT>IP uses UPnP (SSDP) to announce the server.
  If you select a server the RTSP Server address and port are automatically entered.

• You can enter a Description for the device in the name field.

• Normally you do not need to change the suggested RTP Settings UDP Ports. The RTSP device selects automatically the needed free ports from the port range.

• The Default button resets the UDP Ports to the default port range.

• If the selected Server is a DVBViewer Recording Service you can additionally select the “Use TCP instead UDP”, which switches the RTP and RTCP part to TCP.
  It is generally discouraged to use this option. The overhead of UDP is way lower than TCP and UDP works in a local LAN very efficient.

Instant Recordings

Instant Recordings are now delegated to the Recording Service.

• Send timer to Recording Service must be active.

• The instant recording is only recognized for the runtime of the DVBViewer client. If you close the DVBViewer, it will not recognize the recording as an instant recording anymore.

• If you change the end time of the instant recording (DVBViewer or RS webinterface), it will be converted to a normal recording.

• If you close the DVBViewer a warning will be shown and you can either stop the instant recording or let it continue after the DVBViewer is closed.

Internal Task Scheduler

• The internal task scheduler uses the Windows Task Scheduler to automatically wake up the PC for timer recordings from standby / sleep mode and / or to start the DVBViewer Pro.

  The task scheduler can be activated via Options -> Extended -> “Use Microsoft Task Scheduler”. If the external DVB Task Scheduler (Scheduler.exe) is found in the DVBViewer Pro program folder, it will be used, otherwise the internal task scheduler is used.

  Please note: The task scheduler is not used if the timers are send to the Recording service.
  
  If the internal task scheduler is used, Options -> Extended -> Scheduler Settings opens the scheduler dialog with the following settings:

  • Execute as: Windows User account to run the DVBViewer Pro.

  • Password: Password of the user account.

  • Maximum number of scheduled tasks (default 3): Determines how many timers the DVBViewer Pro adds in advance to the Windows Task Scheduler. They are updated automatically each time the DVBViewer Pro starts and any time the timers are changed.

  • Additional lead time in minutes: Determines how many minutes before an upcoming recording the PC is woken / DVBViewer Pro is started.

  • Command line parameters: Determines the command line parameters the Windows Task Scheduler passes to the DVBViewer Pro at startup.

  Please note: It is required that the Windows Task Scheduler service is running. It starts the DVBViewer Pro only if the user is logged into their account. A user account locked by the welcome screen is not an obstacle, but the account must already be active by prior log in.

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 4.9.5

General

• Change: Daylight saving changes/EPG: If the timezone is set to “automatically” the system will calculate the local time of the EPG entries depending on the date with the help of special windows functions.

  This should fix most problems with day light saving changes because now the EPG always has the “correct” time.

  Timer in the night of the change may have to be adjusted manually.

• Fix: Adjust PAT/PMT: If a recording was started before the PAT contained the fitting PMT the PAT/PMT were not correctly adjusted and written.

• Fix: OSD/Weather: The weather page is working again. ATTENTION: You have to setup your location in the weather options again!

• Change: MHEG5: Rewritten Audio/Video playstate in Mheg5 engine

• Change: MHEG5: ServiceIDs (NID, TID, SID) are now send properly to the Mheg5 engine

• Change: MHEG5: Booking (Add, List, Delete) EPG Events in NZ should work but is untested

• Fix: VOD filter does no longer accept ms-asf streams, since they can not work

• Fix: Recordings: Splitted recording weren't correctly deleted.

• Fix: Options: The custom renderer check box wasn't correctly synchronized between the DVD and DirectX options pages.

• Fix: Main window: Maximize via Aero snap for Vista/Win 7 deactivated.

• Fix: File playback: The bit rate in the status bar wasn't updated correctly for mp3 files.

• Fix: Rec Stats Window: The recordings count is now updated immediately after deleting a recording.

• Change: Main window: Best window size: For 4:3 monitors the height is adjusted (as before), for non 4:3 monitors the width is now adjusted to fit the window with the TV picture. You can disable the new adjustment via tweak -> see tweaker.exe.

• Change: DirectX options: Audio/Video auto detection changes in the DirectX options page now trigger a rebuild graph.

• Add: DVD Playback/Presets: It is possible to define a DVD navigator other than the MS DVD navigator in the presets for DVD playback.

• Change: Windows: Added high res explorer icons (Vista/Win 7) for the DVBViewer Pro and the setup programs.

• Fix: Startup: fixed the issues with the “synzip” messageboxes on program start.

• Fix: RDS Parser: Griga fixed a problem in the RDS parser.

• Fix: Channel Scan: Griga fixed several potential problems in the channel scanner.

• Fix: COM Interface: The Timer list didn't take the remote timers of the recording service into account.

• Fix: Videotext Parser: Griga fixed some small problems with the videotext parser.

• Fix: Instant recording: If an instant recording is started while the DVBViewer Pro is in radio (small interface) mode, the OSD display of the instant recording menu is disabled.

• Add: File Playback: The settings of the progressbar in the statusbar for file playback are now stored separately from the settings for LiveTV.

Hardware

• The Hardware classes have been in parts rewritten with the help of Griga.

  Please note: In case of an update some of the changes will only take effect after performing Options -> Hardware -> Detect Devices.

• Enhanced: Unicable support, particularly for DVB-S/S2 devices that don't allow full Unicable compliance.
  The basic requirement for Unicable support is a driver providing an interface for sending DiSEqC raw commands. This is fulfilled by all DiSEqC 1.2 capable DVB-S/S2 devices. Additionally a (known) interface for directly changing the LNB voltage (without tuning) is required. If it is not available the DVBViewer Pro now performs the necessary voltage changes by dummy tuning. However, this method slows down channel switching and may exceed the Unicable timing constraints. It is not guaranteed to work in all cases (though it works quite well with an Inverto Unicable LNB and different devices).
  In case of a device that does not allow to fulfill the EN 50494 specifications properly, the hardware options page displays a warning before opening the Unicable configuration dialog. Devices regarded as fully Unicable compliant are currently: Digital Devices (above all), FireDTV, TechnoTrend and DVBSky.

• Added: Unicable collision detection.
  A Unicable collision occurs if two receivers try to send a ChannelChange DiSEqC command to the Unicable router at the same time. Frequency switching failure in the router results in no data arriving at all, or even worse, still data from the previous transponder (depending on the transponder parameters).

• Fix: Work-around for the "Initializing the device has failed" error under Windows 7, caused by a buggy Microsoft component that tries to create registry keys without sufficient access rights.
  In "Use internal Network Provider filter off" mode (see hardware settings) the DVBViewer Pro now uses the new MS Universal Network Provider filter (introduced with Vista/Windows 7), that does not show this issue. Additionally "Use internal Network Provider filter on" has become the default setting for new installations, which avoids the error as well. However, it may still occur in "Use standard interface on" mode.

• Added: Pilot symbols auto-detection when receiving DVB-S2 channels resp. transponders with Hauppauge devices.
  DVB-S2 tuning will now succeed with wrong Pilot Symbols settings (though it takes a bit longer).

• Added: DiSEqC 1.2 support for TechniSat SkyStar eXpress HD with WDM/Network driver.

• Enhanced: DiSEqC 1.2 support for TechniSat SkyStar eXpress HD and SkyStar USB HD with BDA driver. Now it also works under Windows XP.
  Please note: Due to the design of the BDA DiSEqC interface for these TechniSat devices command sequences (consisting of more than one DiSEqC command) will not work. Please use the WDM/Network driver in this case.

• Changed: Handling of TBS DiSEqC interfaces (since the implementation in TBS/Prof drivers is quite confusing). The DVBViewer Pro first verifies that the interface specified in the hardware database exists. If not, the DVBViewer Pro tries to auto-detect the interface.

• Fix: ATSC Direct Tuning: The 1750 Hz offset is now taken into account.

• Fix: Using more than one KNC One device does now work correctly.

• Add: Detection of TerraTec H5 Rev. 3 devices.

• Add: Detection of TT-budget S2-4100 devices.

• Add: Detection of PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI 4000i (Stargate Tuner) devices.

• Add: Detection of several TBS devices.

• Add: Added DiSEqC 1.2 support for Omicom devices.

• Add: Added DiSEqC 1.2 support for Compro devices.

• Change: TBS CI Stack update

• Add: Support for CI modules from Jactec.

• Change: Detection of the Pinnacle PCTV DVB-S2 Stick 460e changed from VendorID 7 to VendorID 33, otherwise DiSEqC would not work in Vista/Win 7. Users of Win XP have to change this entry back to VendorID 7 manually in the hardware.xml.

• Updated: Hardware database.

Tweaker Tool

• Add: The tweaker tool enables you to adjust the tweaks for the DVBViewer Pro with a quite comfortable UI. For all tweaks the tools has a check box or edit box and a short explanation. The changes can only be saved if the DVBViewer Pro is not running.

DVBServer

• The DVBServer has been discontinued and will be no longer available.

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 4.9.5 (deutsch)

Allgemein

• Change: Sommer/Winterzeit Umstellung/EPG: Bei Zeitzoneneinstellung „automatisch“ ermittelt das System jetzt über spezielle Windowsfunktionen abhängig vom Datum die lokale Zeit eines EPG Eintrages.
  Das sollte die meisten Probleme bei der Sommer/Winterzeitumstellung lösen, da das EPG jetzt immer die „richtige“ Zeit hat.

• Fix: Passe PAT/PMT an: Wenn die Aufnahme auf einem Sky Optionssender gestartet wurde, bevor Sky die passende PMT übertragen hat, wurden die PAT/PMT nicht korrekt geschrieben.

• Fix: OSD/Wetter: Die Wetterseite funktioniert wieder. ACHTUNG: Der Ort muss in den Wetteroptionen neu eingetragen werden!

• Change: MHEG5: Audio/Video Playstatus in der Mheg5 Engine neu geschrieben.

• Change: MHEG5: ServiceIDs (NID, TID, SID) werden nun korrekt an die Mheg5 engine gesendet.

Hardware

Die Hardwareansteuerung wurde mit Grigas Unterstützung kräftig umgeschrieben. Achtung:Unter Umständen muss in den Hardware Optionen eine manuelle Gerätesuche ausgeführt werden.

• Ergänzt: Volle Unicable-Unterstützung für TBS-Geräte (nur mit zukünftigen Treibern) und DVBSky-Geräte.

• Ergänzt: Provisorische Unicable-Unterstützung für alle DiSEqC 1.2-fähigen Geräten, die keine direkte Spannungsumschaltung ermöglichen.
  Die Umschaltung erfolgt bei solchen Geräten mit Dummy-Tuning, das eventuell die Unicable Timing-Beschränkungen überschreitet. Trotzdem sollte es funktionieren, solange Unicable-Router oder Antennen-Steckdosen nicht dagegen einschreiten. Bei einem einfachen Unicable-LNB mit Splitter macht das keine Probleme bzw. verhindert höchstens einen gleichzeitigen Transponderwechsel eines anderen Gerätes.

• Geändert: Der Unicable-Dialog im Konfigurationsprogramm -> Hardware steht für alle DiSEqC 1.2-fähigen Geräte zur Verfügung. Falls sie keine Möglichkeit für eine direkte Spannungsumschaltung bieten, erscheint beim Öffnen zunächst eine Warnung "This device is not fully Unicable compatible. Continue?"

• Ergänzt: DiSEqC 1.2 mit der SkyStar eXpress HD und WDM/NDIS-Treiber, DiSEqC 1.2 mit SkyStar eXpress HD / SkyStar USB HD und BDA-Treiber.
  Bitte beachten: Aufgrund des Designs des BDA DiSEqC-Interfaces dieser TechniSat-Geräte funktionieren keine DiSEqC-Sequenzen, die aus mehr als einem Kommando bestehen. Bitte in diesem Fall den WDM/Netzwerktreiber verwenden.

• Ergänzt: Bei Hauppauge DVB-S2-Geräten wird Pilot Symbols automatisch ermittelt (durch Probieren). Bei falscher Einstellung dauert das Tunen deutlich länger.
  Damit können Hauppauge-Besitzer jetzt auch KingOfSat-Transponderlisten verwenden, die keine Pilot Symbols-Information enthalten.

• Fix: Fehlschlagen der Geräte-Initialisierung mit dem MS Network Provider unter Windows 7, da selbiger versucht, ohne ausreichende Rechte einen Registry-Key anzulegen.
  Im Default-Modus "Direktes Tunen" verwendet der DVBViewer Pro unter Windows 7 jetzt den neuen MS Universal Network Provider, der in der Hinsicht ebenso wie unser interner Network Provider keinen Ärger macht. Im Modus "Direkt tuning aus", in dem sich der Universal Network Provider nicht verwenden lässt, besteht das Problem weiterhin.

• Fix: Fehler im internen Network Provider, der dazu führen konnte, dass Filter im BDA-Graph nicht konfiguriert wurden. Das Problem zeigte sich bislang nur bei den CI-Filtern von Digital Devices, die sich nicht verbanden.

• Fix: Probleme beim gleichzeitigen Betrieb von zwei KNC One-Geräten.

• Ergänzt: Erkennung von Unicable-Kollisionen und automatisches erneutes Tunen, sofern unter Optionen -> Hardware -> Bei fehlendem Stream neu tunen nach... ein Wert größer 0 eingestellt ist.
  Eine Unicable-Kollision entsteht, wenn zwei Geräte gleichzeitig versuchen, dem Unicable-Router ein DiSEqC-Kommando zu senden. Die Frequenzumschaltung im Router schlägt dann fehl, und es treffen entweder überhaupt keine Daten oder weiterhin die des vorherigen Transponders ein. Insbesondere im letzten Fall erkennt der DVBViewer Pro jetzt, dass die Daten nicht die erwarteten sind und verhindert so z.B. falsche Ergebnisse beim Sendersuchlauf.

• Ergänzt: BDA: Erkennung TerraTec H5 Rev. 3.

• Ergänzt: BDA: Erkennung TT-budget S2-4100

• Ergänzt: BDA: Erkennung PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI 4000i (Stargate Tuner).

• Ergänzt: BDA: Erkennung TBS 6923 PCIe DVB S2

• Geändert: BDA: Erkennung der Pinnacle PCTV DVB-S2 Stick 460e von VendorID 7 auf VendorID 33 geändert, da die DiSEqC Behandlung unter Vista/Win 7 sonst nicht funktionierte. Nutzer mit XP müssen diesen Eintrag von Hand zurück auf VendorID 7 setzen.

• Ergänzt: DiSEqC 1.2 Unterstützung für Omicom Geräte hinzugefügt.

• Ergänzt: DiSEqC 1.2 Unterstützung für Compro Geräte hinzugefügt.

• Geändert: TBS CI Stack update

• Ergänzt: Unterstützung für CI Module von Jactec.

• Fix: ATSC Direct Tuning: Der 1750 Hz Offset wird jetzt berücksichtigt.

• Aktualisiert: Hardware-Datenbank.

Tweaker Tool

• Add: Das Tool Tweaker.exe ermöglicht es, "versteckte" DVBViewer Pro-Einstellungen zu ändern, die nicht in den Optionen verfügbar sind. Für jede Einstellung bietet das Tool eine Checkbox oder Eingabezeile sowie eine kurze Erläuterung. Die Einstellungen können nur gespeichert werden, wenn der DVBViewer Pro nicht läuft.

DVBServer

• Der DVBServer wird nicht mehr unterstützt und wurde aus dem Setup entfernt.

MHEG5

We finally added MHEG-5 support to the DVBViewer.

What is it?

 MHEG-5 is a TV middleware and modern replacement of the old teletext. It is used  in the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, Ireland and Germany (via Technisat Multytext on Astra 19.2°E).
A video presentation can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEl3oDAGchU

How to get it?

The MHEG-5 plugin is a third party add-on and has to be ordered separate. To do so, open the key tool and press order, next to the MHEG-5 entry.

Attention: Keep in mind that the license is bound to the email which was been used to buy the DVBViewer!

After the transaction has been completed, the downloadable content will be unlocked for your DVBViewer member account in the DVBViewer members area (https://www.dvbviewer.tv/members/).

Once the installation process is done, the personal plugin key you got via email has to be entered inside the keytool. You have to make sure that the code corresponds with the one you got provided by us. A triple-digit CRC Checksum indicates if the entered key is correct.

Recordings/Timer

• Add: Recordings: Optional removal of H.264 filler data while recording. (see recording options).
  Thanks to forums user Martin K for contributing the concept and code and to Griga for adapting it to the DVBViewer!
  
  Some (not all) HD channels, particularly Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, arte HD and ORF HD, are inserting filler data in the H.264 video stream in order to keep a constant bitrate. The percentage of filler data depends on the broadcasted content. E.g. in low motion scenes 50% or more of the H.264 stream may consist of filler data, and in case of movie opening or closing titles even more than 90%. So removing the H.264 filler data may decrease the size of TS recordings with H.264 content considerably, in some cases to 50% and less.

• Fix: Channel auto update: Sometimes the channel auto update for recordings didn't work correctly.

• Change: The default name scheme for recording is now: %date_%time_%station_%name

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 4.5.0.0

Unicode support

• EPG and file handling is now completely in Unicode.

• mp3 tags (Music tags) are also in Unicode.

• The databases are now in Unicode (UTF-8).

• The Recording file name is in Unicode now.

• The OSD shows Unicode correctly everywhere.

• The User Interface shows Unicode correctly everywhere.

• Channel names and favorites do NOT use Unicode for now.

• Change: Play lists: The play list loader now detects UTF-8 encoded and non UTF-8 encoded files and loads them accordingly.

• Change: Teletext: Integrated the new Teletext engine by Griga. It is fully Unicode compatible and contains a lot of improvements.

Custom Renderers

• Added two new Renderer types: “VMR9 Custom” and  “EVR Custom”. You can activate them in Options → DirectX → “Use Custom Renderer”.
  They are based on D3D9, so your graphics adapter must fully support DirectX9. They use the hardware to composite and render the output and are DXVA and DXVA2 compliant (DXVA2 only for Vista+ and EVR), note: your video decoders must support this.
  If you activate the custom renderers the DVBViewer checks if there are Dlls missing. In case they are missing, it displays a warning and asks you to install the files from the MS website. These files are not essential for the renderers to work, but if you want to use the shaders, you will need the files.
  Known limitations:

  • EVR only works with Vista and windows 7.

  • You can not mix custom and normal renderers. If you select one method you have to stick with it (Video A/B and DVD). PiP does NOT use the custom renderers.

• Add: D3D Exclusive Mode: Works only with custom Renderer activated and skinning of the main window deactivated.
  You can activate with a tweak in the setup.xml section “MPEG” with the entry
  <entry name="D3DExclusive">1</entry>
  Of course it only works in full screen mode. You can't access the popup menu or any other window. You can only use the OSD.

• Add: Pixelshaders can be selected to apply various effects on the videodisplay including an anaglyph 3D shader for side by side 3D transmissions.

Windows 7 support

• Add: An Overlay Icon for the DVBViewer taskbar symbol, showing the recording status, thanks to rago (W7 only).

• Add: Taskbar thumbnails: New Icons for the Taskbar Preview thumbnail buttons thanks to rago

• Add: Support for Windows 7 jump list (right click on the programs taskbar icon). The jumplist entries are defined in the file “jumplist.ini”. You can add max. 10 entries. The format is:
  [name]=[DVBViewer commandline parameter(s)].
  Some examples are included (channels only work for Astra 19.2E users).

• Fix: Vista/Win7: Fixed application freezes if the virtual keyboard of windows was used.

  Fix: Prevent Screensaver: On windows 7 and Vista the screensaver was prevented even if the setting was deactivated, due to changes made by MS.

OSD

• Fix: OSD: Fixed high system load for 3 secs after channel switching.

• Fix: OSD Media play back window: It was not possible to set an individual time out for it in the windowdef.xml.

• Change: The timeout of the MiniEPG browsing is now set to the OSD timeout.

• Add: Demo OSD Skin: The Volume bar is vertical to demonstrate the use of a vertical progress bar.

• Add: OSD Skin Controls: New control: numeric input field. It is very similar to the Up/Down control but without the arrows.

• Change: OSD Timeline: Prev/Next: Switches forward/backwards by day. You can't jump before the current date.

• Add: Play symbol is shown in the OSD if you go from Pause to Play. You can adjust the timeout for this display in the Setup.xml section "OSD".
  <entry name="Playtimeout">1000</entry>
  The value is measured in Milliseconds, default is 1000 (1 second).
  You have to add in the skin file "videoinfo.xml" an according element (image) with the ID = 26.

• Change: The action "Show Current Info" (8264) shows now if the MiniEPG is active, the details of the top EPG Entry of the MiniEPG. If MiniEPG is not active it shows the EPG details of the current or time shifted program or on recording playback the details of the recording (if any).
  This action is a toggle. If the details are shown, calling this action does go back to the previous OSD window.

• Add: A new tweak in the Setup.xml section "OSD"
  <entry name="Volumedelay">500</entry>
  The value describes the timeout of the Volume Display in milliseconds. Default is 500.

• Fix: OSD Listview Control: The vertical spacing problems are gone.

• Add: Custom Date/Time formatting for some values.
  For the following #Tags you can use a custom Date/Time format:
  #TV.Now.starttime
  #TV.Now.stoptime
  #TV.Next.starttime
  #TV.Next.stoptime
  #EPG.stoptime
  #EPG.starttime
  An example can be found in the Demo OSD skin MiniEPG -> Date Label.
  #Time.dddd_dd._mmmm%TV.Now.starttime
  With the keyword "#Time." you tell the parser you want to use a custom format. Then you enter the wanted formatting where you replace all Spaces with "_". At the end you enter which #Tag to use, you have to replace the "#" with a "%".

• Add: Added the data tag "#TV.Timeshift.image". It does contain the value "timeshift.png", if timeshift is active. See demo skin / MiniEPG for an example. (Attention: the tweak “TimeshiftEPGdisplay” must be enabled).

      svc_epg.png
      svc_standby.png
      svc_hibernate.png
      svc_shutdown.png

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 4.2.1.0

Timeshift

• Add: Timeshift: It is now possible to start a recording in timeshift mode. The timeshift timer converts the timeshift from the current shown timeshift position on to a “normal” recording file. Exception: The actual timeshift position = LiveTV (at the very end of the timeshift buffer) in this case a normal instant recording is started.

  • The conversion runs as fast as possible till it reaches the end of the timeshift buffer. If the end is reached the data is converted as soon as it arrives in the timeshift buffer.

  • It is a real timer. All settings (format etc) apply. Exception: Only the current audio track is recorded (timeshift does only buffer the current audio track).

  • If timeshift is stopped the timer is stopped.

  • If a timeshift timer is active you get a warning on channel switching, even if the option is deactivated. Channel switching stops timeshift → timer stops.

  • If available the EPG data corresponding to the timeshift time is used for the recording.

  • The instant recording popup menu works also for timeshift timers. Notice: the times apply to the current time not the timeshifted time.

  • The timeshift timers are visible in all the timer lists.

  • The timeshift timers are never saved into the timers.xml.

• Some changes in the handling.

  • If an existing root folder is selected the channels already present are updated and new ones are added. You can disable the adding of new found channels by enabling “Update only”.

  • If you enter a new root folder or leave it empty all channels are added as new to the new root folder. If the root folder name is empty a unique name for the root folder is generated.

  • The display in the lower area now shows the count of the new found channels and updated channels.

• Add: “In-depth search”: If this option is enabled the scanner also examines the NIT and can add new transponders or update existing one. This option takes a little longer than a normal scan.

  Requirements:

  • A transponder list with at least one valid frequency entry is selected.

  • The whole frequency range (Start/End frequency) must be enabled.

  • Works only with “Scan Range”

  • Not available for ATSC or IPTV.

Some broadcasters send contradicting CA_Info descriptors on program and ES level (Hotbird the polish TVN channels as example), which some CAMs do not handle very well. Now the CA_PMT ignores the descriptors on the ES level if program level descriptors are present.

• Add: Added support for Technisat Cablestar Combo HD CI, a DVB-T/DVB-C Hybrid device.

• Add: Experimental enhanced DiSEqC (without rotor support!) and Unicable support for the Skystar 2 by griga.

• Fix: Shared LNB: Didn't work correctly if a recording was active.

Vista support

• Add: If the PC goes into the away mode the graph of the main playback is shutdown and the Viewer tells the system it can go to sleep, if wants needs to.

• Add: The DVBViewer sets now the away mode when it is recording.

• Change: Several changes to make the away mode work if the DVBViewer and the recording service are on the same PC. The hibernate and Shutdown action in the DVBViewer are mapped to the Standby action if the recording service is recording. This puts the PC into the away mode. (Needs the current version of the recording service)

General

• Add: Instant recording popup menu: Added the functions stop after current program and stop after next program. The items are only available if there is EPG present.

• Fix: COM: the #volume tag was not set on startup.

• Fix: Channel Auto Update for the main playback chocked on PMT=0 in the channel data.

• Add: ISO Images: Added support for Virtual Clonedrive. Works the same as Daemon tools, but you have to select then VCDMount.exe instead of the Daemon.exe in the options.

• Fix: EPG HTML Export: Fixed several problems and bugs.

• Change: Wiki links: Depending on the selected language the german or english wiki link is shown in the help menu.

• Add: New graphics for the Wizard made by rago.

• Fix: The brightness setting was reset if started with -c parameter.

• Fix: Several fixes in the translation code to avoid problems on faulty language files.

• Change: Channel auto update: Reworked the channel auto update.

• Fix: Plugins: Fixed a problem on channel change with additional graph rebuild.

• Fix: EPG Window: Fixed rounding errors which could lead to wrong recording times on some systems.

• Change: Data transfer from the DVBViewer Recording Service (timer, recordings, EPG lists) can be compressed now.

• Several corrections and optimizations.

• Language files updated.

Netstream Plugin

• Removed: Autodiscovery settings removed.

DVBServer

• Hardware handling up to date with the DVBViewer.

Changelog Version 4.2.1.0 Deutsch

Timeshift

• Add: Timeshift: Es ist jetzt möglich Timeshift aufzunehmen. Die Timeshift Aufnahme wandelt die Timeshift Daten ab der aktuell angezeigten Position in eine „normale“ Aufnahme um. Ausnahme: Wenn die aktuelle Timeshift Position = LiveTV ist, wird eine normale Sofortaufnahme gestartet,

  • Die Umwandlung geschieht so schnell wie möglich, bis sie das Ende des Timeshift Puffers erreicht. Wenn das Ende erreicht ist, werden die Daten umgewandelt, sobald sie eintreffen.

  • Es handelt sich um einen echten Timer, alle Aufnahme Einstellungen wirken sich auf ihn aus. Ausnahme: Nur die Aktuelle Audiospur wird aufgenommen (Timeshift verwendet nur die aktuelle Audiospur).

  • Wenn Timeshift beendet wird, wird auch die Timeshift Aufnahme beendet.

  • Wenn eine Timeshift Aufnahme aktiv ist, wird bei einer Senderumschaltung gewarnt, auch wenn dies in den Optionen deaktiviert ist. Sender umschalten stoppt Timeshift und damit auch die Timeshift Aufnahme:

  • Wenn vorhanden werden die EPG Daten, die der Timeshift Zeit entsprechen, für die Aufnahme benutzt.

  • Das Sofortaufnahme Popup Menü funktioniert auch bei Timeshift Aufnahmen. Achtung: Die Zeiten beziehen sich auf die aktuelle Zeit nicht die Timeshift Zeit.

  • Die Timeshift Timer sind in allen Timerlisten sichtbar.

  • Die Timeshift Timer werden niemals in die timers.xml gespeichert.

Sendersuche Fenster

• Fix: ATSC: Sendersuche funktioniert nun korrekt. Big thanks @antdude for testing.

• Fix: ATSC AC3 Erkennung in der PMT.

• Fix: Die “Aktualisierte Sender” Anzeige wird nun beim Start der Suche zurückgesetzt.

• Fix: Die Überschrift im Infobereich des Fensters benutzte nicht den Default Zeichensatz.

• Add: Inaktive Sender, die nur Einträge in der SDT haben (Sky Select Sender zum Beispiel), können hinzugefügt werden. Dafür muss die “Nur Aktive Sender” Einstellung deaktiviert werden. Sender ohne Video und Audio werden ebenfalls als inaktiv behandelt.

• Einige Änderungen in der Bedienung.

  • Wenn ein bestehender Stammordner gewählt wird, werden die vorhandenen Sender aktualisiert und neue hinzugefügt. Das hinzufügen neuer Sender kann durch „Nur aktualisieren“ verhindert werden.

  • Wird ein neuer Stammordner eingegeben oder das Feld leer gelassen, werden alle Sender als neue Sender in den Stammordner eingefügt. Wenn das Feld Stammordner leer gelassen wurde, wird ein eindeutiger neuer Name erzeugt.

  • Die Anzeige im unteren Bereich zeigt nun die Anzahl der neu gefundenen bzw. aktualisierten Sender an.

• Add: “Gründliche Suche”: Wenn diese Einstellung aktiviert ist, untersucht der Scanner die NIT und fügt bei Bedarf neue Transponder in die Transponderliste oder aktualisiert vorhandene Einträge. Dies dauert etwas länger als eine normale Suche.

  Voraussetzungen:

  • Eine Transponderliste mit mindestens einem funktionierenden Eintrag ist gewählt.

  • Die erste/letzte Frequenz der Transponderliste muss bei Start/Endfrequenz gewählt sein.

  • Funktioniert nur mit dem Knopf „Bereich scannen“.

  • Nicht verfügbar für ATSC oder IPTV.

  • Die neu gefundenen Transponder werden nicht gespeichert.

  Wird mehr Einfluss auf die Sendersuche benötigt, bitte Transedit nutzen.

Senderlisten Editor

• Removed: Der Knopf zum löschen der kompletten Senderliste wurde entfernt. Diese Aktion kann immer noch über das Rechtsklick Popup Menü ausgeführt werden.

• Reworked: Die Senderdatendetails wurden überarbeitet und einige neue Parameter hinzugefügt.

• Fix: Die DiSEqC Parameter für Wurzeleinträge waren manchmal nicht korrekt.

• Add: Import einer channels.dat und von channel ini Dateien per drag'n'drop in das Fenster möglich.

• Fix: Einige kleine Anzeigeprobleme behoben.

OSD

• Change: MiniEPG Blättern: OSD-Hoch/Runter blättert durch die Senderliste, links/rechts durch die Zeit, OSD-OK wechselt zu dem im EPG angezeigten Sender.

  Ch+/ch- und Fav+/Fav- wechseln den Sender sofort. Das alte Verhalten mit dem Verzögerten schalten kann in den Einstellungen aktiviert werden (TV + Radio).

• Add: MiniEPG: Das Sky Select Sender Menü (wenn verfügbar) kann aus dem MiniEPG mit OSD-Grün geöffnet werden.

• Fix: Wenn das verzögerte Schalten aktiviert war und das MiniEPG vor dem automatischen Schalten geschlossen wurde, wurde der Sender 0 eingeschaltet,

• Add: Das Sofortaufnahme Popup Menü wird auch im OSD gezeigt, wenn die Aufnahmeaktion über Fernbedienung oder Tastatur ausgeführt wird. Wird die Aktion ein zweites mal ausgeführt, während das Menü sichtbar ist, wird es wieder geschlossen (toggle).

• Fix: Aufnahme Fenster: einige Probleme mit Unicode behoben.

• Fix: Sky Select Sender (und Sport etc) Menü: Das Menü zeigt die Sendernamen und die Zeiten anstatt der SID und Zeiten, bei der Umstellung auf Sky wurde dort wohl etwas geändert.

• Fix: Bei Sendern mit Mono Audio wurde das falsche Audioformat Bild angezeigt.

• Add: Lösche Bookmark zeigt jetzt eine Bestätigungsabfrage.

• Fix: Diashow: Die Diashow wurde nicht gestoppt, wenn der letzte Sender aufgerufen wurde.

• Fix: OSD-Diashow: Die Bilder behalten nun ihr ursprüngliches Seitenverhältnis.

• Change: OSD Bildanzeige Dialog behält den Aspekt ratio des Bildes bei.

• Removed: OSD-Teletext Maus Unterstützung entfernt.

Recording engine

• Change: VCR: Es gibt jetzt die Option, eine laufende Aufnahme aufzuteilen, sobald sich die Senderdaten (PAT/PMT) ändern. Es handelt sich um den gleichen Mechanismus wie beim Sender Auto Update.

• Change: Wenn der gewählte/Default Aufnahme Ordner nicht vorhanden/erreichbar ist, probiert der DVBViewer alle Ordner in der Aufnahmeordner Liste durch, bis er einen benutzbaren Ordner gefunden hat. Erst wenn kein geeigneter Ordner gefunden wurde wird der Standardordner Nutzer/Öffentliche Videos benutzt.

• Fix: Aufnahmen ohne EPG wurden nicht in die Datenbank eingetragen.

DVB Subtitel

• Add: Unterstützung für “Nur Text“ DVB Subtitel eingebaut. Thanks @Elber for providing samples

• Add: Unterstützung für 2 bit DVB Subtitel eingebaut. Thanks @Elber for providing samples

Nicht Ansi Zeichensatz Unterstützung

• Add: Das Kontrollpopup (das kleine Aufklappfenster, das sich öffnet, wenn man in den unteren Teil des Hauptfensters mit der Maus geht) unterstützt Unicode EPG (bis jetzt ist nur Chinesisches EPG in Unicode).

• Add: Der EPG Hinweis, der im Favoriten Menü angezeigt wird, wenn die Maus über den Einträgen verweilt, unterstützt jetzt Unicode EPG.

• Change: Screenshot Funktion: Die Screenshot Funktion speichert die Screenshot nun mit Unicode Dateinamen ab.

• Change: Senderliste: Die Sendernamen werden nun angezeigt mit dem auf den Lacales basierenden Zeichensatz. Thanks @ter9999.

• Change: Chinesisches EPG sollte nun überall korrekt angezeigt werden (OSD/EPG Fenster). Big Thanks @ter9999 for testing. Diese Änderungen sollten auch andere nicht Latein-Schriftzeichen Sprachen betreffen.

• Weitere Vorbereitungen für die Unicode Unterstützung eingebaut.

Popup Senderliste

• Fix: Die Popup Senderliste markierte manchmal nicht den aktiven Sender korrekt.

• Add: Die Popup Senderliste erhält nun den Fokus sobald sie sich öffnet (Nur wenn das Hauptfenster den Fokus hat).

• Fix: Die Popup Senderliste schließt sich nun auch, wenn das Hauptfenster zur rechten Seite verlassen wird.

• Fix: Die Einträge “Senderlisten Editor“ und „Letzter Sender“ wurden aus dem Popup Senderliste Kontextmenü entfernt.

EPG Verarbeitung

• Change: ATSC: EPG Scanner und Parser komplett neu geschrieben. Es wird eine DVB Karte, die den ganzen Transponder empfangen kann, benötigt. Diese Option muss auch in den Hardware Einstellungen des DVBViewer aktiviert sein. Big thanks @antdude for testing.

• Change: (EIT) EPG Parser: optimiert auf die Erkennung schon verarbeiteter EPG Sektionen.

• Change: (EIT) EPG Processing: Fixup für Anixe, RTL und SuperRTL EPG. Der DVBViewer versucht die Beschreibung zu zerlegen und Teile davon als Subtitel zu verwenden (Folge.., Wiederholung von..).

• Fix: Wenn der EPG Empfang deaktiviert wurde, konnte das zu fehlerhaten Sofort Aufnahmenamen führen.

• Reworked: Die interne EPG Verarbeitung wurde weiter optimiert und angepasst für die mehrsprachige Eintragsverwaltung.

Einstellungen

• Removed: OSD Optionen: "Semitransparent" Einstellung entfernt.

• Add: TV + Radio Optionen: Einstellung zum Ein/Ausschalten des MiniEPG Blättern ohne Umschalten hinzugefügt.

• Add: Aufnahme Optionen: Die Einstellung zum Aktivieren des Automatischen Aufteilen bei PMT Änderungen hinzugefügt.

Hardware

• Add: Raw DiSEqC Unterstützung für KNC1 Geräte. Achtung: Die dafür notwendige DLL ist nicht kompatibel zu älteren DVBViewer/Recording Service Versionen.

• Fix: Einige Fehler bei der Unicable Unterstützung behoben.

• Fix: Einige Fehler bei der Skystar 2 WDM DiSEqC Ansteuerung behoben.

• Change: CAM Unterstützung für Twinhan und KNC1 basierte Karten. Einige Sender senden widersprüchliche CA_Info Deskriptoren auf Programm und ES Ebene (Hotbird die polnischen TVN Sender zum Beispiel), was einige CAMs nicht gut vertragen. Jetzt werden bei der CA_PMT die Deskriptoren auf ES Ebene ignoriert, wenn schon welche auf Programm Ebene vorhanden sind.

• Add: Unterstützung für Technisat Cablestar Combo HD CI, eine DVB-T/DVB-C Hybrid Karte hinzugefügt.

• Add: Experimentelle erweiterte DiSEqC (ohne Drehantenne Unterstützung!) und Unicable Unterstützung für Skystar 2 Karten von griga.

• Fix: Shared LNB: Funktionierte nicht korrekt, wenn eine Aufnahme aktiv war.

Vista Unterstützung

• Add: Wenn der PC in den Away Modus geschickt wird, wird der Graph der Hauptwiedergabe geschlossen und der DVBViewer teilt dem System mit, dass es schlafen gehen kann, falls es möchte.

• Add: Der DVBViewer setzt jetzt den Away Modus, wenn er aufnimmt.

• Change: Mehrere Änderungen damit der Away Modus funktioniert, wenn der DVBViewer und der Recording Service auf demselben PC sind. Die Ruhezustand und Ausschalten Aktionen des DVBViewer werden auf Standby umgeleitet, wenn der Recording Service aufnimmt. Das schickt den PC in den Away Modus. (Die aktuellste Version des Recording Service wird dafür benötigt)

Allgemeines

• Add: Sofortaufnahme Popup Menü: Funktionen zum stoppen nach aktueller Sendung und nach nachfolgender Sendung hinzugefügt. Die Funktionen sind nur aktiv, wenn EPG vorhanden ist.

• Fix: COM: Der #volume tag wurde beim Start nicht gesetzt.

• Fix: Sender Auto Update Für die LiveTV Wiedergabe verschluckte sich an PMT=0 in den Senderdaten.

• Add: ISO Abbilder: Unterstützung für Virtual Clonedrive eingebaut. Funktioniert genauso wie bei den Daemon tools. Allerdings muß die Datei VCDMount.exe anstatt der Daemon.exe in den Einstellungen gewählt werden.

DVBSubtitles

• Fix: HD DVBSubtitles as used by BBC HD do work now.

• Change: Optimized memory usage of DVBSubtitles.

• Fix: Fixed wrongly shown pixels in DVBSubtitles.

Media Playback

• Change: VODSource. Several improvements and extensions. Now you can play mp3 and aac streams via the VODSource. If possible all usable metadata is extracted from the streams.

• Change: Playback of streams: Several improvements on playback of streams.

  • Detection of embedded Shoutcast or ASX playlists in asx playlists (asx V.1 and V.3).

  • Detailed media description of the streams (if possible) (resolution, bitrate etc.). Works also with the ASF Reader.

  • ASF Reader: If possible all usable metadata from the stream is read. Depends on the stream provider if there are any.

• Fix: VODSource: Shoutcast should work again.

• Fix: Problems with ASF Playback and Vista.

• Reworked: Daemon tools support reworked. Now the completion of the unmount command is detected and then the mount command is send.

• Reworked: DVD Handling renovated. The selection between multiple DVD drives works now. Support for Blueray and HDDVD images and folders rips in the OSD and via drag'n'drop.

• Removed: DVD Playback and Fileplayback without DVBSource now don't support custom graph files anymore.

• Reworked: Main movie detection of (unencrypted) Blu-ray disks.

• Add: HDDVD support improved.

• Update: Several internal optimization for the playback detection by griga.

• Fix: Fixed detection for problematic AC3 streams.

• Fix: Media playback with a not in the DVBViewer predefined aspect ratio caused a no update of the frame rate in the #Datatags.

• Fix: Playback issues with Kathrain trp recordings.

• Fix: Potential problem with the format detection corrected, several optimization (by griga).

Renderer

• Fix: EVR/aspect ratio change and PIP. Hopefully a solution for missing picture after a aspect ratio change and EVR.

• Fix: EVR: A Black box stays on the screen fixed.

• Change: Removed check for driver supports color changes.

• Change: Brightness default is now set according to the used renderer. Should cure the Overlay too dark problem. Please reset the brightness value to default.

• Add: Added a Shockwave/Flash renderer (experimental). You need flash installed.

Recordings/Timers

• Fix: Griga reworked the MPEG recording to make it more robust.

• Fix: Recordings in MPEG Format with APID =0 and VPID = 0 are now changed to the TS format and the PIDs are dynamically added from the PMT.

• Fix: Timers: minimal free disc space was not taken correctly into account if bigger than 2 GB.

• Fix: The start recording script got called, even if the recording did not start successfully (no hardware available etc).

• Removed: The DisableAV setting for timers is removed. Starting recording timers do not change the current setting of View → Disable Audio/Video in the main window anymore.

OSD

• Fix: OSD Teletext: Missing text on SF2.

• Fix: OSD, VMR/EVR and encrypted channels. As long as a channel can't be decrypted the “overlay” OSD is shown in case there needs to be a message displayed.

• Fix: OSD Media windows: Not existing network shares (UNC paths) do not cause any blocking anymore on first opening of the window. For this the support for the folder.jpg files has been removed for all UNC Path shares in the root view.

• Fix: Stopping recordings via the OSD-Blue pop up menu doesn't show the instant recording menu anymore.

• Fix: EPG Window / OSD: Cyrillic and several other char sets are now also displayed correctly.

• Fix: Text Subtitle Window: Border color and shadow color were not properly applied.

• Add: Extended controlling of the Recording service (needs V. 1.4.7.110+).

  • New menu in the OSD: OSD main menu → system → Rec service - with the following options:

    • Standby, Hibernate, Shutdown (PC): Triggers the according action in the recording service. The service does give a 30 seconds warning. In this time window all the DVBViewer clients show a dialog window, where the user can stop the action.

    • Load EPG: gets the EPG from the service.

    • Wake On LAN: Wakes the recording service PC (even from Soft-Off). The PC must be configured to accept WOL.
      Important: The DVBViewer needs to have at least once contact with the service PC to get it's MAC address.

    These functions are also accessible via actions (see actions.ini). This menu is only available, if you configured the Recording Service connection properly.

Hardware

You might have to do a manual rescan of the hardware devices, if you do an update installation.

• Add: DVB-S2 Detection of Twinhan/Technisat/Terratec devices improved.

• Fix: Terratec XE MKII DVB-T (AfaTech-AF9015-DVB-T-Sticks) devices do not need the low bandwidth option anymore if connected to a USB 2.0 port. Will be configured automatically.

• Add: Support for Pinnacle PCTV 380e/510e DVB-C hybrid.

• Add: Support for Turbosight clones.

• Add: Support for TerraTex XE MK II clones.

• Add: Twinhan WDM support back again.

• Fix: Hybrid tuner handling: Fixed some issues.

• Change: BDA-Devices: The search for the BDA_RECEIVER_COMPONENT fitting for the device to open reworked. In most cases it works without the SkipComponent hack (it is still there but if possible ignored). This should fix the problems with two or more Twinhan/Technisat/Terratec S2 devices.

• Add: DiSEqC for BDA DVBWorld device.

• Add: Basic support for Genpix WDM devices.

DiSEqC 1.1/1.2

• New: Completely rewritten DiSEqC 1.1 / 1.2 support (only for DVB-S devices allowing to send DiSEqC raw commands), which means support for motorized dishes and cascaded DiSEqC elements (uncommitted switches, positioner behind a switch). All thanks to griga.

• New: DiSEqC Editor ("DiSEqC expert mode"). Allows to assign user-defined DiSEqC command sequences to a satellite position - as you will see - much more conveniently than with the DiSEqC Editor of DVBViewer Pro 4.0.0.0 and earlier versions.

• Removed: Positioner Console, please use Transedit 3.3+ for this. It is much better suited.
  For details please read the DiSEqC instructions:
  http://www.dvbviewer.com/griga/TransEdit%20E/DiSEqC.html

UniCable support

• Added: Experimental UniCable support according to the EN50494 standard. (What is UniCable? English Deutsch).
  
  Please note: UniCable will only work with TechnoTrend and FireDTV DVB-S/S2 devices. Other device drivers don't provide the means for UniCable support yet. In case of a TechnoTrend device the file ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll (optionally installed with DVBViewer Pro) must be present in the program directory.
  
  UniCable support is activated by inserting two lines in the appropriate device section of the file hardware.xml, while the DVBViewer is closed.
  The UniCable entries must look like this:
  
  <entry name="Slot">N</entry>
  <entry name="SlotFrequency">FFFF</entry>
  
  where N is the slot number (0..7) and FFFF the slot frequency (intermediate frequency, IF) in MHz on which different transponders are routed to the receiver. Example:
  
  <entry name="Slot">6</entry>
  <entry name="SlotFrequency">1980</entry>
  
  You may find these values on the antenna socket. Please note: On sockets or in manuals the slots may be numbered from 1 to 8. You will have to subtract 1 in this case.
  
  If you want to take part in the UniCable discussion, please join in here. It's a German thread, but you may also post in English.

DVBViewer as a network client of the Recording Service.

Needs Recording service 1.4.7.110+.

In this scenario the DVBViewer connects as a client via the unicast network device to the Recording Service. All recordings are done by the Recording Service (except instant timers), the recordings are centralized on the server and the data of the Recording Service (timers, EPG, recordings) is integrated seamless into the DVBViewer Pro.

Important: Make sure you use the same channels.dat by copying it from the Recording Service to the DVBViewer userdata folder.

Please read more in the Recording Service docs.

• Add: Options: Service Options dialog.

  • Service address and Port: The IP/Servername and the Port of the Webinterface of the Recording Service.

  • Username: The Username used for the Webinterface of the Recording Service.

  • Password: The Password used for the Webinterface of the Recording Service.

  • Test connection: Checks if the Recording Service can be accessed with the entered Username, Password and IP.

  • Download EPG from service. You can tell the viewer how many days of EPG you want to download.
    Notice: this doesn't create magically 14 days of EPG. You only get as much data as the service has gathered.

  • Send EPG programmed timers to service: If you select this option all timers you program via EPG in the EPG Window or OSD are send directly to the service.
    You can also create manual timers in the recorder window which are send to the service.

  • Connect to timer list: Enables the DVBViewer to show and edit the timer list of the Recording Service.
    Only Recording timers are listed because the DVBViewer doesn't know the other timer types.
    Not every function of the DVBViewer recorder window is supported. Recording folders, no file write and Transponder dump from the edit window do not work. Unknown timer actions or end actions are not accepted and mapped to the default values of the service.
    Notice: Instant and tuning timers are handled by the DVBViewer not by the Recording Service.

  • Connect to recordings list. This one is quite tricky and you need knowledge about the management of network shares and user rights under windows to make this work. You have to setup this function in the Service according to it's readme_svc.

  • Tuning Priority: Values 0-100. Allows to assign a priority to the DVBViewer unicast network device. So you can control which client can override the channel selection of another client.

• Add: If the recording service needs the device used by a client for a recording or a client with a higher tuning priority wants the device, the DVBViewer client in question is automatically forced to do a channel change.

• Add: If the recording service forces a channel change a message is shown.

• Add: If the DVBViewer connects to a recording service and the channel can not be tuned because all devices are in use and none is fitting, it gets redirected to a working channel.

• Add: Network CAM/MMI. The client which did the last non forced tuning request has control over the MMI.

• Add: If the DVBViewer is running after Standby or Hibernate, it refreshes it's EPG from the service.

General

• Add: Support for Closed Captions of dish network.

• Fix: Premiere EPG: The EPG could fill up the whole memory if the channel Premiere Direct was tuned for a long time.

• Fix: The COM Interface gave a wrong value for the stereo audio mode.

• Add: EPG-Parser: Added "slv" as language identifier.

• Add: Tweaks: MinVolume in case you can hear something even if muted, lower this value.

• Fix: If the DVBViewer did crash while the Recording Service is running, it couldn't be started anymore (this also applies to the DVBServer, Transedit and DVBViewer GE).

• Fix: Fixed a bug in the RDS parser.

• Change: Favorites: From now on there are no duplicate entries of channels with the same ChannelID in the favorites list allowed. They collided with the fav+/- function. Existing duplicates will be removed.

• Add: Graph rebuild and manual Video/Audio A/B changes take now the timeshift warning setting into account.

• Add: “Autodetect Audio/Video” will be automatically disabled if a network device is in use.

• Change: On Standby/Hibernate in Vista the DVBViewer now closes down the playback. On waking up the last channel is tuned (if activated in the TV+Radio options). It depends of the driver of the DVB device, if this works.

• Fix: Teletext- window → Save Dialog: it was possible to input non numbers for the page numbers.

• Several small improvements and optimizations.

DVBServer

• Change: Adding new virtual DVB device can be done in the hardware options window via the "+" button.
  The data now is saved to the network.xml instead of the usermode.ini. Existing data will be taken into account.

• Fix: Several small cosmetic changes in the DVBServer interface.

• Add: DVBServer: Twinhan WDM support back again.

• Change: DVBServer now shows “Automatic” instead of “0.0.0.0”.

• Add: ShareLNB can only be activated if more than one enabled DVB-S device is present.

DVBViewer contains...

• JVCL source code that can be obtained from http://jvcl.sourceforge.net/

• The FastMM Memory Management Unit that can be obtained from http://sourceforge.net/projects/fastmm/

• The Virtual Treeview Component for Delphi that can be obtained from http://www.soft-gems.net/

• Fix: Das Start recording script wurde aufgerufen, auch wenn die Aufnahme nicht erfolgreich startete (keine Hardware verfügbar usw.)

• Entfernt: Die Einstellung DisableAV für Timer wurde entfernt. Starten der Aufnahme-Timer verändert nicht mehr die aktuelle Einstellung „Deaktiviere Audio/Video“ im Hauptfenster.

OSD

• Fix: OSD Teletext: fehlender Text auf SF2 behoben.

• Fix: OSD, VMR/EVR und verschlüsselte Sender. So lange wie ein Sender nicht entschlüsselt werden kann, wird das OSD im „Overlaymodus“ betrieben, für den Fall, dass eine Mitteilung angezeigt werden muss.

• Fix: OSD-Media Fenster: Nicht erreichbare Netzwerk-Freigaben mit UNC-Pfaden (Bsp. \\server\freigabe), führen nicht mehr zu einer längeren Verzögerung beim ersten Öffnen des Fensters. Dafür musste die Unterstützung für die folder.jpg Dateien für alle UNC-Pfade in der "virtuellen Pfade" Anzeige entfernt werden.

• Fix: Stoppen der Aufnahmen über das OSD-Blau Pop-Up-Menü zeigt nicht mehr das Sofortaufnahmemenü an.

• Fix: EPG Fenster /OSD: Kyrillische und einige andere Schriftzeichen werden nun korrekt dargestellt.

• Geändert: OSD-Favoritenfenster: Das Fenster zeigt nun die ausgewählten Favoriten besser an, indem beim Anzeigen der Favoriten-Ordner geöffnet wird, in dem der aktuell verwendete Favorit abgelegt ist. Das ganze funktioniert natürlich nur, wenn der gerade wiedergegebene Sender ein Favorit ist.

• Fix: Teletext Untertitelfenster: Rahmen- und Schattenfarbe wurden nicht korrekt übernommen.

• Neu: Erweiterte Kontrolle über den RecordingService (V 1.4.7.110+).

  • Neues Menü im OSD: OSD Hauptmenü → System → RecordingService mit folgenden Optionen:

    • Standby, Ruhezustand, Ausschalten (PC): löst die Aktion nach der Aufnahme im RecordingService aus. Der RecordingService gibt eine 30 sekündige Warnung. In diesem Zeitfenster erscheint ein Dialogfenster in allen DVBViewer Clients, mit dem der Nutzer die Aktion stoppen kann.

    • Lade EPG: lädt die EPG Daten vom RecordingService

    • Wake on LAN: weckt den RecordingService PC (auch aus dem Soft-Off). Der PC muss dazu konfiguriert sein WOL zu akzeptieren.

    • Wichtig: Der DVBViewer muss mindestens einmal Kontakt zum RecordingService PC haben um dessen MAC-Adresse zu erhalten.

    Diese Funktionen sind auch über Aktionen verwendbar (siehe actions.ini).

Hardware

Eventuell muss bei einer Update-Installation ein manueller Rescan der DVB Geräte durchgeführt werden.

• Neu: DVB-S2 Erkennung von Twinhan/Technisat Geräten verbessert.

• Fix: Terratec XE MKII DVB-T (AfaTech-AF9015-DVB-T-Sticks) Geräte benötigen die “niedrige Bandbreite) Option nicht länger wenn diese über einen USB 2.0 Port angeschlossen sind. Wird automatisch eingestellt.

• Neu: Unterstützung für Pinnacle PCTV 380e/510e DVB-C Hybrid

• Neu: Unterstützung für Turbosight Nachbauten.

• Neu: Unterstützung für TerraTex XE MK II Nachbauten.

• Neu: Twinhan WDM Unterstützung wieder hinzugefügt.

• Fix: Hybridtunerbetrieb: einige Fehler beseitigt.

• Geändert: BDA-Geräte: Die Suche nach dem passenden BDA_RECEIVER_COMPONENT für das Gerät überarbeitet. In den meisten Fällen funktioniert es ohne den SkipComponent Hack (er ist noch vorhanden, wird aber nach Möglichkeit ignoriert). Das sollte die Probleme mit 2 oder mehr Twinhan/Technisat/Terratec S2 Geräten beheben.

• Neu: DiSEqC für BDA DVBWorld Geräte.

• Neu: Grundlegende Unterstützung für Genpix WDM Geräte.

DiSEqC 1.1/1.2

• Neu: Komplett neu geschriebene DiSEqC 1.1 / 1.2-Unterstützung (nur für DVB-S-Geräte, die DiSEqC-Raw Befehle unterstützen), dies bedeutet Unterstützung für Sat-Antennen mit Drehmotor und kaskadierende DiSEqC-Elemente (uncommitted Switches, Drehmotoren hinter Multischalter). Thanks @griga.

• Neu: DiSEqC-Editor ( "DiSEqC-Experten-Modus"). Erlaubt benutzerdefinierte DiSEqC Kommando-Sequenzen zu einer Satellitenposition sehr viel bequemer als mit dem DiSEqC-Editor von DVBViewer Pro 4.0.0.0 und früheren Versionen.

• Entfernt: Positioner-Konsole entfernt, benutzen Sie bitte Tansedit 3.2.7+ dafür. Transedit ist viel besser geeignet. Für Details lesen Sie bitte die DiSEqC-Anweisungen. http://www.dvbviewer.com/griga/TransEdit%20E/DiSEqC.html

UniCable Unterstützung

• Neu: Experimentelle UniCable Unterstützung nach EN50494 Standard. Was ist UniCable?
  Bitte beachten Sie: UniCable funktioniert nur mit TechnoTrend und FireDTV DVB-S/S2 Geräten. Andere Gerätetreiber bieten noch keine Unterstützung für UniCable. Im Falle einer TechnoTrend muss die Datei ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll (optional installiert mit DVBViewer Pro) im Programmverzeichnis vorhanden sein.
  
  UniCable Unterstützung wird aktiviert indem Sie zwei Zeilen in den entsprechenden Geräte- Abschnitt der Datei hardware.xml eingeben. Dazu muss der DVBViewer geschlossen sein.
  
  Die UniCable Einträge müssen so aussehen:
  
  <entry name="Slot">N</entry>'
  <entry name="SlotFrequency">FFFF</entry>
  
  wobei N die Slot-Nummer (0..7) und FFFF die Slot Frequenz (Zwischenfrequenz, ZF) in Mhz ist, auf welchem verschiedene Transponder in den Receiver kommen. Beispiel:
  
  <entry name="Slot">6</entry>
  <entry name="SlotFrequency">1980</entry>
  
  Sie könnten diese Werte auf der Antennenbuchse finden. Bitte beachten Sie: An der Buchse oder in Handbüchern können die Slots von 1 bis 8 nummeriert sein. In diesem Fall bitte 1 abziehen.
  
  Wenn Sie an der UniCable Diskussion teilnehmen wollen, dann bitte hier.

DVBViewer als Netzwerk-Client für den RecordingService.

Benötigt den RecordingService 1.4.7.110+

In diesem Szenario verbindet sich der DVBViewer als Client über ein Unicast-Netzwerkgerät mit dem RecordingService. Alle Aufnahmen werden vom RecordingService durchgeführt (ausser Sofortaufnahmen), die Aufnahmen werden zentral auf dem Server verwaltet und die Daten nahtlos in den DVBViewer Pro integriert.

Wichtig: Stellen Sie sicher das die gleiche channels.dat verwendet wird, indem Sie diese vom RecordingService zum DVBViewer Konfigurationsverzeichnis kopieren.

• Neu: Optionen: RecordingService Optionen:

  • Service Adresse und Web-Port: IP-Adresse/Servername und Port für das Webinterface des RecordingService.

  • Nutzername: Der Nutzername für das Webinterface des RecordingService.

  • Passwort: Das Passwort für das Webinterface des RecordingService.

  • Teste Verbindung: testet ob mit den eingegebenen Daten auf den RecordingService zugegriffen werden kann.

  • Rufe EPG vom Service ab: Man kann im DVBViewer einstellen, für wie viele Tage das EPG abgerufen werden soll.
    Hinweis: Dies zaubert nicht für 14 Tage EPG herbei. Man erhält nur so viele Daten, wie der RecordingService gesammelt hat.

  • Sende Timer zum Service: Wenn Sie diese Option wählen, werden alle Aufnahmen, die über EPG im EPG-Fenster oder im OSD erstellt werden, direkt an den RecordingService gesendet.
    Es können auch manuell Timer erstellt werden, die dann ebenfalls zum RecordingService gesendet werden.

  • Verbinde mit Timerliste: Ermöglicht dem DVBViewer die Timerliste des RecordingService anzuzeigen und zu bearbeiten.

    • Nur Aufnahmetimer werden gezeigt, da der DVBViewer die anderen Timer-Typen nicht kennt.

    • Nicht jede Funktion des DVBViewer-Aufnahmefenster wird unterstützt.

    • Aufnahmeordner, keine Datei schreiben und Transponder-Dump im Bearbeiten-Fenster funktionieren nicht.

    • Unbekannte Timer- oder Aufnahmeende Aktionen werden nicht akzeptiert und mit dem Standardwert des RecordingService angezeigt.
      Hinweis: Sofortaufnahmen werden vom DVBViewer und nicht vom RecordingService bearbeitet.

  • Verbinde mit Aufnahmeliste: Dieser Teil ist etwas kompliziert, da man Wissen über die Verwaltung von Netzwerk-Freigaben und Benutzerrechten unter Windows benötigt, um dies zum Laufen zu bringen. Für weitere Informationen lesen Sie bitte die Anleitung readme_svc des RecordingService.

  • Tuning Priority: Werte 0-100. Ermöglicht eine Prioritätssteuerung für das DVBViewer Unicast Netzwerkgerät. So kann man kontrollieren, welcher Client einen anderen Client bei der Senderwahl quasi „überstimmen“ kann.

• Neu: Wenn der RecordingService ein von einem Client benutztes Gerät benötigt oder ein Client mit höherer Tuning Priority will es, dann wird beim betroffenen DVBViewer ein Senderwechsel erzwungen.

• Neu: Wenn der RecordingService einen Senderwechsel erzwingt, wird eine Meldung angezeigt.

• Neu: Wenn der DVBViewer mit dem RecordingService verbindet und der Sender nicht eingestellt werden kann, weil alle Geräte in Benutzung sind und keines dafür passt, wird auf einen funktionierenden Sender umgeleitet.

• Neu: Netzwerk CAM/MMI. Der Client, der zuletzt einen nicht erzwungenen Senderwechsel ausgeführt hat, erhält die Kontrolle über das MMI.

• Neu: Wenn der DVBViewer aus dem Standby oder Ruhezustand aufwacht, aktualisiert er das EPG vom RecordingService.

Allgemein

• Neu: Unterstützung für zuschaltbare Untertitel von Dish Network

• Fix: Premiere EPG: Das EPG konnte den gesamten Speicher füllen, wenn der Sender „Premiere Direkt“ für lange Zeit eingestellt war.

• Fix: Die COM-Schnittstelle hat einen falschen Wert für Stereo-Audio ausgegeben.

• Neu: EPG-Parser: „slv“ als Sprachkennung hinzugefügt.

• Neu: Tweaks: MinVolume. Falls man trotz Stummschaltung (Mute) etwas hört, diesen Wert senken.

• Fix: Wenn der DVBViewer abstürzte, während der RecordingService lief, konnte er nicht mehr gestartet werden (gilt auch für den DVBServer, Transedit und DVBViewer GE).

• Fix: Einen Fehler im RDS Parser behoben.

• Geändert: Favoriten: Von nun an sind keine doppelten Einträge von Sendern mit der gleichen ChannelID in den Favoriten erlaubt. Diese kollidierten mit der Fav+/- Funktion. Existierende Duplikate werden gelöscht.

• Neu: Graph neu aufbauen und manueller Video/Audio A/B Wechsel berücksichtigt jetzt die Warneinstellungen bei Timeshift.

• Neu: TV/Radio Vorab-Formaterkennung wird automatisch deaktiviert, wenn ein Netzwerkgerät benutzt wird.

• Geändert: Bei Standby/Ruhezustand in Vista beendet der DVBViewer jetzt die Wiedergabe. Beim Wiederaufwachen wird der letzte Kanal eingestellt (wenn in den TV+Radio Optionen aktiviert). Ob dies funktioniert hängt vom Treiber des DVB Gerätes ab.

• Fix: Teletext-Fenster → Speichern Dialog: es war möglich andere Eingaben als Zahlen für die Seitennummern einzugeben.

• Verschiedene kleine Verbesserungen und Optimierungen.

DVBServer

• Geändert: Neue virtuelle DVB-Geräte können im Optionsfenster Hardware über die Schaltfläche "+" hinzugefügt werden.
  Die Informationen werden nun in der network.xml statt der usermode.ini gespeichert. Bestehende Daten werden berücksichtigt.

• Fix: Einige kosmetische Veränderungen in der DVBServer Benutzeroberfläche.

• Neu: Twinhan WDM Unterstützung wieder hinzugefügt.

• Geändert: DVBServer zeigt jetzt „Automatisch“ anstatt „0.0.0.0“

• Neu: Gemeinsamer LNB kann nur aktiviert werden wenn mehr als ein aktiviertes DVB-S Gerät vorhanden ist.
