General
- EPG and file handling is now completely in Unicode.

- Add: Fileplayback of splitted recordings does handle all splitted files as one.
- Fix: If timeshift was active and pause was selected the stop button in the mediacontrol bar did not work.
- Add: Added the data tag "#PremierePortal". If option channels are present it contains the count of available channels. If not option channels are available it can be "0" or empty.

- Fix: The mosaic preview didn't work for channels with a separate PCR.
- Add: Support for the Daemontools Pro.
- Add: An easy method to query the current playback state (Stop, Play, Pause). Example:
pause = datamanager.parse("#currentplaystate") ' possible values "no graph" = no playback active, this state you get, if you close the graph or start the DVBViewer with -c, "stop" - renderer is stopped, ' "pause" - renderer in pause state, "play" renderer in play state. - Fix: The file info wasn't read if there was no Info file.
- Fix: Popup channellist: Entering a text in the channel search was also interpreted as OSD commands.
- Fix: EPG Window: Sometimes the details for the selected entry were not shown when opening the window.
- Fix: OSD Media play back window: It was not possible to set an individual time out for it in the windowdef.xml.
- Add: Demo OSD Skin (separate download): A demonstration how to integrate the timeshift data into the MiniEPG.
- 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: Demo OSD Skin: Changed the Timer Edit window a little bit. It now uses different controls. ATTENTION! The changes do not work with older DVBViewer versions.
- Add: OSD Skin Controls: New control: numeric input field. It is very similar to the Up/Down control but without the arrows.
- Add: OSD Timeline: The settings of the time interval are now saved and restored.

- 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. See Demo OSD Skin. - 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_wol.png svc_epg.png svc_standby.png svc_hibernate.png svc_shutdown.png svc_back.png
to the OSD service menu. - Add: the tags:
#menufocusimage+2; #menufocusimage+1; #menufocusimage-1; #menufocusimage-2
