Derrick Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 ..but trying to find the channel to watch out a list of hundreds is enough to put you off. I totally agree. Hopefully this will change but until then, just drag and drop your favorite channels right at the beginning of your channel list with the channel editor.
AndrueC Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I totally agree. Hopefully this will change but until then, just drag and drop your favorite channels right at the beginning of your channel list with the channel editor.All this inspired to me to try and rationalise things again last night. I spent fifteen minutes trying to fix things but then I came across a huge tranche of ITV regional channels and realised that ITV (London) wasn't the one I really wanted up at the top.. ..at that point I gave up.
uglyned Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I didn't give up when I came across that. I just scrolled down a bit more and found the regional variations I was looking for. At the moment they happen to be London. Not because I live there - I couldn't live more 'regions' away if I wanted to - it's just I only have one tuner and the London variants share transponders with other useful channels. Give it another go. Once it's done it's done. Now I don't care what they introduce to order the channels. I have my channels ordered exactly how I want them and no programmer in the world could write the code to do that.
Rob100 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 As far as I can see, I do only have one BBC-HD channel in my list, and it never got auto-updated by the Recording Service. BBC HD is the first channel in my list and mine didn't get updated I was away at the end of last week and left the recording service to do it's thing and was really annoyed to find I had 4 duff recordings. I had logged into the webpage from remote and could see the recordings had taken place so thought all was well. It would be useful if there was an option to view the EPG info and log files of recordings from the webserver. I'm sure it would be easy to add an extra button or two to open these in a seperate window. Please
uglyned Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I think you can from the recording service. I have logging enabled and whenever I click on a recording from the recordings menu, the log file is displayed in the window below the EPG details.
joaofeijo Posted July 16, 2009 Posted July 16, 2009 Question : Is there a way to transcode AAc to mp3 or anything else ? Cause i am form brazil ad here there is an stupid AAC wich i can´t seen to work in my popcorn Tks in advance
McenterFreak2 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 Is there a way to reduce the number of channels in Timeline and/or TVGuide, or maybe a way to sort them. It is very difficult to shedule a recording, when you have 500+ channels
Tjod Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 The Recording Service use the DVBViewer channel list. So change the channel list and restart the Recording Service,

It is very difficult to shedule a recording, when you have 500+ channels You can use EPG Manager from Members Section. Very usefull to setup channels that should download EPG.
Mr Rimmer Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 You can use EPG Manager from Members Section. Very usefull to setup channels that should download EPG. This is exactly what I'm after, in order to move away from Digiguide/Dabdig setup (which is superb) and towards a simpler DVBViewer-only setup that can be used form any location. However, I can't see any "EPG Manager" in the members download section http://www.DVBViewer.com/members/
Tjod Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 The EPG Manager is not in the Members Section http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?showtopic=4524
Barleyman Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) All right. I have a dumb question. I checked the wiki, didn't find it there. I searched this thread, also no go. So here goes: How do I REMOVE an item from autosearch timer? There isn't any readily apparent way to do that. Adding new items is easy enough, thought.. Is it enough to hit "delete" from the "search EPG" tab when you've got corresponding preset open? Edited August 7, 2009 by Barleyman
groovyclam Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 v1.5.0.25 new "%name" option isn't working: I have set "200908081130_80" as the actual timer name and just "%name" as the file-naming string but the name of the recording file is taking the actual programme title from the EPG
Devastation Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 How do I REMOVE an item from autosearch timer?......Is it enough to hit "delete" Yes, select the autosearch timer and press delete. Thats all.
Prinz Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 v1.5.0.25 new "%name" option isn't working: I have set "200908081130_80" as the actual timer name and just "%name" as the file-naming string but the name of the recording file is taking the actual programme title from the EPG Make sure that the file naming string of the timer entry really contains the %name keyword. The file naming string of the service setp will only be taken on new timer entries. Regards Prinz
groovyclam Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 The file naming string of the service setp will only be taken on new timer entries. That was the problem - it's working fine now, thanks.
Bryan Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I have upgraded to the latest version of DVBViewer and that for the recording service and although I can use the timer to record programmes while DVBViewer is running, I am unable to use the recording service once I have logged out of DVBViewer. The service DVBViewer Recording Service is running. The icon on the tray is visible and turns to grey once I have logged out of DCBViewer. I would then expect it to turn to red once it starts recording but this does not happen and no recording is done. This is very frustrating as a previous version I had running worked fine on the same system. Any help greatly appreciated.
Prinz Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 Hi, The service DVBViewer Recording Service is running. The icon on the tray is visible and turns to grey once I have logged out of DCBViewer. Could it be that the file "svcctrl.dll" wasn't removed from the plugin directory of the DVBViewer? Regards Prinz

I have my channels ordered exactly how I want them and no programmer in the world could write the code to do that. I know it's a bit late but I thought you might be interested to know that for some bizarre reason ITV West Country has MUCH better quality on FreeSat than the other ITV regions (Inc London). This includes more samples and a higher data rate.
Andrey123456 Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 I downloaded latest version Add: Skystar 2/ Skystar S2: Reset after Hibernate/Standby for Skystar devices integrated. You can activate it in the configuration program/ hardware options. It was the most wanted option and it really works. I tested it on Skystar S2 card. If I close DVBViewer then go to S3 standby, press power button, run DVBViewer again - card is still warking. Without recording service it wouldn't work untill PC restart. If I go to standby mode without closing DVBViewer (press start->Turn off computer -> Standby) , after wake up card becomes unusable and requires restart. Tested on 2 computers. TT-S2-3200 alows this trick and after wakeup DVBViewer is working fine. It is a very important issue and it's good that someone is working on this buggy Skystar S2 driver, at least doing patches. I also found another bug - content of russian EPG from 75E is not displayed in russian (wrong charset). Only on webserver, inside DVBViever EPG is OK/
Andrey123456 Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I just found that standby for Skystar S2 works also with WDM driver. To enable correct standby you must go to My Computer->Properties->hardware->Device manager->Network adaptors->Technisat DVB PC TV Star PCI -> Properties->Power Management uncheck 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' checkbox if this box is checked after standby you will see No Hardware Available error
uglyned Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I had a uPnP device connected to the recording service and was listening to the stream but then the server shut down. Does the service keep the PC awake if only a Upnp client is attached and no DVBViewer or web clients are attached?
uglyned Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Rec Service 1.5.0.31 - changing the guest password via the user interface also changes the admin password.
woster Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hi Lars, Thanks for a great application. However, I have a small problem. My channel provider (dvb-c) recently changed frequencies and I therefor needed to do a re-scan. Unfortunately the new channels seem to work within DVBViewer, but not with the recording service. It appeared to use the old frequencies. I then installed the newest DVBViewer beta and the recording service. After installation of DVBViewer I deleted all the encrypted channels and other channles I do not want from my channel list. This has resulted in the recording service to show some of the deleted channel in the tv-guide window and some of the correct channels. I have seached the forum without luck. Any suggestions? Best regards, Mogens
Tjod Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I then installed the newest DVBViewer betaWhich Version Try stop the Recording Service and than chge the channels.
Tjod Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Rec Service 1.5.0.31 - changing the guest password via the user interface also changes the admin password. I'm not able to reproduce this. @all Please do not start new topics in this topic. We have now a section for the Recording Service and it is hard to find informations in such a big mix topic. http://www.DVBViewer.info/forum/index.php?showforum=58 I will close this topic soon.
woster Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hi Tjod, Sorry, my mistake. DVBViewer Pro 4.2.1.0 and Recording service 1.5.0.31. I have tried stopping and start again, including rebooting. But without any changes. I installed the new versions without un-installing my old versions. Is that a problem? Best regards, Mogens

cyfgeorge Posted October 2, 2009 Posted October 2, 2009 Is it possible to separate the EPG content and channel into different languages? It's so strange for HK EPG, the channel's names are in Big5 but the EPG content is UTF-8 I'm using DVBViewer Pro 4.3.0.0 beta + Recording Service 1.5.0.31 beta. For rc_chinese.lng, lngCharset=Big5 For rc_chinese.lng, lngCharset=UTF-8
