Pro Beta Version :)

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

we decided to have a "public" (which means for Pro customers) Beta Version since the new hardware management routine is so unique and not comparable to ALL available windows and linux solutions on the market ;)

We do not expect real problems, but well we feel more comfortable if more people are able to test the version in all of its variety.

If you are willing to test and own more than one dvb device feel free to test, but please no "stupid" bug descriptions and first make sure the latest non beta version runs.

 

The following things has been changed:

• New: Support for Multiinstances.

• New: Support for Multituner.

• Add: ATSC: Added ATSC EPG.

It works like a charm, many thanks!

 

-Skystar2

-Lifeview FlyDVB-T Duo PCI with BDA driver

 

It switches flawlessly between one card to the other when you change channell. Keep the good work on! ;)

Just to be clear of misunderstandings:

Of course everybody can test the beta, you don't need two or more DVB-cards for it. ;)

 

There are so many changes which also are important for a single card system that there also should be tests.

Don't forget to register the new DVBSource from griga with the register.bat.

Until further notice:

 

Don't use the new dvbsource filter with the current Pro oder Pro Beta. It's not fully compatible and can cause problems.

Please stay with the 2.4 version of the DVBsource filter (as delivered with the installation of the DVBViewer 3.2.6)

Link to comment

This is not very convenient if you're using the Pro and the GE with the dvbsource filter at a different location. So far I don't have problems with the new version of the filter and the pro_beta but I don't use preview :) Please try to synchronize the updates..

A new Update of the Beta version is online.

 

ATTENTION: This update contains a complete new Channelmanagement and concept. For the german users: please READ THE README.

For all non german speakers: sorry the english part will be coming today evening or tomorrow. But for starters: you can use the right mousebutton in the channelwindow ;)

 

A summary:

- The channelstuff is up to 20 times faster.

- There are three areas now: a channellist, channellist options and a scanwindow.

- the channellist has filter and sorting capability.

- the channellist has one click channel tuning.

- The favourites editor is integrated into the channellist options.

- Did I mention it is much faster now? ;)

- The recorder window and the epg window have a channellist with the same filter and sorting capabilities like the channellistwindow minus the one click tuning.

- all settings in the channellist window will be saved and reloaded on the next start of the viewer.

[*]Fix: Inputoptions: the load/save path for inputoption will always be changed to dvbviewerconfigdri\remotes.

[*]Fix: AVDisable on minimize: did not work properly in certain circumstances.

[*]Fix: OSD-Menu: Now the first item in osd menu is selected correctly.

[*]Fix: OSD/VMR: solved sizeproblem on 16:9 formats and vmr osd.

[*]Add: TV: The current tvplayback device is shown as tooltip if the mouse hoovers over the signal bar.

[*]Add: TV: The current audio/video data rate is shown in the statusbar.

[*]Fix: Subtitles: Fixed some problems in subtitles.

[*]Change: Subtitles Options: removed 2 of the 4 language boxes.

Hi,

 

I have tried to install the beta over a 2.6 version, but I cannot get it working properly.

 

DVBViewer claims that it cannot find the hardware when I am trying to view a channel or scan the satellite. (I went into the options / hardware section) to be sure that the card is selected (and it is !!!). I have a Skystar 2 PCI card with latest drivers (downloaded from Technisat web site).

 

I have attached the hardware.xml file.

 

thanks,

 

squizzer.

The same happens to me. I'm trying to use the unicast dvb client to connect to a dvb server but DVBViewer says it can't find the hardware and in the hardware options menu I can't set server's IP.
