  • Update: Channeleditor: Reworked portions of the Channeleditor. Added popupmenu.
     
  • Update: Favourite editor: Channels can be moved by keyboard (Shift + Up/Down/Home/End).
     
  • Update: Favourite editor: Reworked portions of the Favourite editor. Added Popupmenu.
     
     
  • BIG Change:
    Channels can have (audio) subchannels. This is not done automatically, you have to help the first time a little bit. The format of the channels.dat does not change and the system is backward compatible.
    A "old" channellist is shown as you are used to it. But if you scan the Audio subchannels will be automatically created and inserted.
    You can update the channellist by the following:
    - Scan the Source into a new root, this will be the easiest solution but your sorting will be lost.
    - Do an update scan, this function will try to find the channel/subchannel relations, but you have to delete the old audiochannels manually. And you have to be careful, the channels have to match (this includes diseqC).
    - Sort it by hand (mouse). Via Drag'n'Drop you can drag the to be subchannels onto the main entry ("ZDF (AC3)" on "ZDF"). If it does not work, the channels are not equal (do the diseqC settings match?).
    Rules:
    ------
    Subchannels have NO own channelnumber, subchannels will be ignore on channel Up/Down. To select a subchannel use the Audiotrack menu (Input Options -> OSD, Mainmenu->Settings, OSD Blue).
    To change the default audiotrack you can swap a subchannel with its parentchannel (via drag'n'drop or Shift + Up/Down). You can also change the order of the subchannels via this.
    You can add a subchannel as a favourite, but favourites do not have subchannels in the favouritemenu.
    -----------
    ATTENTION:
    -----------
    Audiotracks menu and MPEG recordings with "record all audiotracks" NEED the subchannels otherwise they don't work, this means they only include the current audiotrack, so you better adjust you channellist. ;)
     
     
  • Reworked: Networkdevices: Most parts are rewritten to make way to the upcoming changes to the dvbserver. Please check your Network option in the hardware options.
    The bigger changes in detail:
    - The Multicastdevice tries to determinate the packet size automatically. But you should set it to the same buffers count as in the server to avoid unnecessary delays on startup in the netdevice options.
    - The Multicastdevice has now a buffercount property. One Buffer = 188 bytes. It Buffercount determinates the used UDP packet size. You should use more than one buffer but not too much, you have to play around with the value and remember to set the value in the server too!
    - The Networkdevices do a simple valid check of the packets to avoid sending non TS-packets into the pipeline.
    - The Networkdevices has now a buffercount property. This buffer is used internally to cache the arriving packets for checking. The buffercount does not influence the packet size, it will always be 1460 byte (limited by TCP).
     
     
  • Add: Input options: Added im- and export of .remote files.
    Export and Import can be done for remotedevice or for user defined commands.
    - On exporting you can select if you want to export the user defined commands only or a remotedevice. The user commands are automatically exported, if you choose a remote device.
    - On importing existing entries of remotedevice/remotekey pairs will be replaced, to avoid double entries.

DVBServer 3.8.0.0

--------------------

The DVBServer has been mostly rewritten and has now multidevice capabilities.

  • Multidevice only works with unicast.
  • The userinterface has been modified extensively, but most should be recognisable.
  • The settings in the hardware are similar to the DVBViewer settings.
  • Because of conflicts with the DVBViewer the DVBServer now uses an own hardware file. So you have to setup your hardware on first use!
  • Be careful and use IDENTICAL channellists on server and client. Especially channelgroups and DiseqC MUST match!
