From the readmesvc.txt in the current 3.6 release:

The DVBViewer Recordingservice is a native windowsservice. It enables you to record programmed timers by the DVBViewer Pro without DVBViewer Pro.

 

 

The Files:

 

- DVBVservice.exe

The service.

 

- DVBVCtrl.exe

A Systemtray controlprogram, which shows the status of the service, allows to start and stop the service and displays a 30 seconds warning before a timer controlled shutdown of the computer. Should be set to autostart.

 

- Plugins\svcctrl.dll

A plugin for the DVBViewer Pro and GE. It takes care of shutting down the service when DVBViewer starts, warns the user on running recordings in the service. It also reactivates the service on exiting DVBViewer (if enabled in the DVBViewer plugins menu).

If you start the DVBViewer while a recording is running in the service you can cancel the recording or you let the recording finish. In this case the service will only finish the current recording and does not start any new recording. The after recording action will be ignored and the timer in question will be deactivated in the DVBViewer. If you have more than one device, the DVBViewer will use a free device and you can work with it normally. *This does not work for multiple Technisat devices due to driver limitations.*

 

 

The service is able to start the computer from Standby or Hibernate without taskscheduler, in fact you MUST disable the Taskscheduler in the DVBViewer. The computer will be started 2 minutes before the time to let the devices initialize properly. Recording works also with no user logged in but you need to use Usermode 0 or 2.

 

All important settings and programmings of the DVBViewer Pro will be used also by the service. All settings and programmings have to be done by the DVBViewer Pro.
