Mit der Version 4.5 wurde ein neues Benutzerdatensystem eingeführt, wer die neuen Daten noch nicht hat bitte unbedingt hier lesen: http://www.dvbviewer...-benutzerdaten/

The changelog:

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.

DVB Server

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

Happy new year

The DVBViewer team wishes you a happy new year!

Merry Christmas

Faulty TransEdit Update

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 14:14:55 +0000

The TransEdit release 3.8.2 that I've uploaded to the members area this morning contains a bug that may affect DVBViewer and the Recording Service.

In the meantime it has been replaced by a clean TrandEdit 3.8.2 version. In order to avoid potential issues, please do the following:

- Download TransEdit 3.8.2 again.

- Delete the file BDADevices.dat that the faulty version may have created in the TransEdit directory (where TransEdit.exe is). It is only suitable for special purpose.

- If you have used a Hardware Database Update before, download it again from the members area, plugins section, and use the included file BDADevices.dat according to the instructions in the ReadMe.

Sorry for inconvenience

General

Add: Playback Presets by Griga. Presets are used to offer a more flexible way to select codecs and splitters for specific file formats. Note: selecting a Videorenderer inside these preset files is NOT supported.
Some example presets are in the [app-folder]\GraphPresets_Samples. You need to copy them into the [configuration folder]\GraphPresets\ folder and adjust the filter IDs and/or make sure you have the fitting filters/splitters installed.
Add: Playback: Added CD and WAV playback via the DVBSource Filter.
Change: Program: Saving of the windows positions is now handled a little better.
Fix: Program: The position of dialog windows was sometimes incorrect.
Add: Playback: Playback of ts/mp3/wav streams from a http source (Recording Service) via the DVBSource filter added. Use the "Open URL" dialog. Needs the current version of the Recording Service.
Fix: Installation: A clean installation with no channel list as a Recording Service client could deactivate all timers in the Recording Service.
Fix: Program Start: under certain circumstances a renderer error message could delay the program start up to 20 seconds.
Fix: Recordings: If adjust PAT/PMT was activated and the SID of a channel was wrong, no Audio/Videodata was written. Now adjust PAT/PMT is deactivated if the SID doesn't match. careful this might cause problems with other hard/Software. Make sure the SID of a channel is always correct.
Change: Rewritten and optimized the code for (debug)Logfile writing.
Fix: Settings: Changes to Auto detect Audio/Video weren't saved anymore.

Change: BDA: New option for EMPIA compatible devices in DVB-C mode in the hardware Options: "Force Auto Modulation". Changing this value might help if channel changes are very slow.
Add: Support for Hauppauge PVR devices

Hauppauge HD PVR

Sun, 17 Jul 2011 17:52:46 +0000

Hi,

i received several emails concerning this box in last weeks, and to be honest integrating it took longer than i expected. The reason was a combination of lack of experience to add such a "thing", which is technically nothing else than a DA/AD convertor, but the fact that the delivery service was unable to do its job
Anyway i'm happy to announce that the next version of the DVBViewer will support this device.

All you have to do is to create a mapping list for each adapter you installed and to set up the video and audio source, resp. to select the IR Blaster you want to use. You will be able to choose between the build in blaster device, or a plugin. I will publish the interface once it is complete.

Once you did this, you can scan for the channels which where added as normal dvb/atsc channels inside the DVBViewer. There is only one thing which wont work: The epg data has to be imported, since the Hauppauge device is not a regular DVB/ATSC adapter.

A small sample video can be found here:

Windows

Fix: Channel List Editor : The automatic scrolling on moving an entry didn't work anymore.
Change: Favorites Menu Main window: Favorites entries which can not be associated with a channel are shown deactivated.
Change: Recorder Window : Clicking on a timer selects the associated channel in the channel list on the left.
Change: About window : Completely reworked.

Change: Channel list editor : Changed the label “Service PID” to “Service ID” (English/German language file).

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

EPG

Fix: D+ EPG (Spanish MHW EPG) works again.
Add: EPG: Support for the Japanese Arib8 EPG format.
Fix: EPG Options : Reworked the language selection in the EPG options.
Change: The ISO language is now shown in the EPG language options .
Add: Tweaks : Added “DVBEPGAsAnsi” Tweak (see Tweaks.txt). Determinates if the DVB EPG Parser ignores the language settings in the EIT and converts the text from the local charset to UTF-8. May help if you get strange chars in the EPG.
You have to set the locales setting of the system account the recording service is running in to the same locales your user account is using.
OSD
Change: OSD Timer window : The askdeletetimer setting now also works for the OSD timer window.
Change: OSD channel list window : OSD Left/Right on a channel group now jumps one group forward/backward.
Change: OSD Default skin : Some fixes and small changes.

Playback

Add: DVB/Bluray/HDDisk images : can be played by Drag'n'Drop into the main window or “open media file” (still needs Daemon Tools or Virtual CloneDrive).
Fix: Tag reader/Flac files: The Vorbis Comments tags were not read correctly for flac files.
Recording service related
Change: EPG loaded from the Service : Is now handled again as external EPG.
Change: Sending WOL to the Recording Service PC on program start up: Now the messages pump is kept working while waiting for the WOL. No more “... doesn't respond” messages.
DVBServer
Updated to the current hardware handling, please see above for changes.
