Version 4.0.1.0 Beta

expires 14.2.2009

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

  • New: Complete rewriten DiSEqC 1.1 / 1.2 support (only for DVB-S devices allowing to send DiSEqC raw commands), which means, support for motorized dishes and cascaded DiSEqC elements (uncommitted switches, positioner behind a switch). All thanks to griga.
  • New: DiSEqC Editor ("DiSEqC expert mode"). Allows to assign user-defined DiSEqC command sequences to a satellite position - as you will see - much more conveniently than with the DiSEqC Editor of DVBViewer Pro 4.0.0.0 and earlier versions.
  • Removed: Positioner Console, please use transedit 3.27+ for this. it is much better suited.
  • Fix: The COM Interface gave a wrong value for the stereo audiomode.
  • Add: EPG-Parser: Added slv as language identifier.
  • Change: Removed check for driver supports color changes.
  • Fix: Grigas fix for problematic AC3 streams detection.
  • Add: Support for Pinnacle PCTV 380e/510e DVB-C hybrid.
  • Change: Brightness default is now set according to the used renderer. Should cure the Overlay too dark problems. Please reset the brightness value to default.
  • Fix: Problems with 120 dpi in some options windows.
  • Fix: OSD Media windows: Not existing network shares (UNC paths) do not cause any blocking anymore on first opening of the window.
    For this the support for the folder.jpg files has been removed for all UNC Path shares in the root view.
  • Fix: Media playback with a not in the DVBViewer predefined aspectratio cause a no update of the framerate in the #Datatags.
  • Change: Adding new virtual DVB device can be done in the hardware options window via the "+" button.
    The data now is saved to the network.xml instead of the usermode.ini. Existing data will be taken into account.
  • Update: Updated language files.

For details please read the DiSEqC instructions (most of it applies also to the DVBViewer Pro):

 

English

 

German

Version 4.0.1.10 BETA

expires 12.03.2009

  • Add: Tweaks: MinVolume in case you can hear something even if muted, lower this value.
  • Fix: Timers: minimal free disc space was not taken correctly into account if bigger than 2 GB.
  • Add: Hardware: Support for Turbosight clones.
  • Add: Hardware: Support for TerraTex XE MK II clones.
  • Fix: EVR: A Black box stays on the screen fixed.
  • Fix: TT diseqC fix from Griga.
  • Add: Support for Closed Captions of dish network.
  • Fix: Premiere EPG: The EPG could fill up the whole memory if the channel premiere direct was tuned for a long time.
  • Add: Options: Service Options dialog. IMPORTANT: This page is still under heavy development!
  • Add: Support for several Recording Service functions / communication.
    • Download EPG from service. You can tell the viewer how many days of EPG you want to download.
      Notice: this doesn't create magically 14 days of EPG. You only get as much data as the service has gathered.
    • Send EPG programmed timers to service: If you select this option all timers you program via EPG in the EPG Window or OSD are send directly to the service. There is ATM no feedback and you can't edit or see the timers in the DVBViewer directly.
      You can also create manual timers in the recorder window which are send to the service.
    • Connect to recordings list. This one is quite tricky and you need knowledge about the management of network shares and user rights under windows to make this work. And you have to setup this function in the Service according to it's readme_svc.
      Don't use this function with a local DVBViewer only with remote clients!
      Background: A real streaming of recordings from the service would clash with the playback functions of the viewer. A major rewrite would be needed, which is too much ATM.
      So for now I choose the easy way and use network shares to realize the streaming in a local network. For this the recordings database of the service needs to be setup in a way that it uses UNC paths to the recording folders instead of local paths. For this and for the client access the access rights have to be configured correctly, which can be a little complicated and done wrong could result in no recordings can be done by the service.

  • Fix: Recordings in MPEG Format with APID =0 and VPID = 0 are now changed to the TS format and the PIDs are dynamically added from the PMT.

Version 4.0.1.60 BETA

expires 20.05.2009

 

  • Fix: DVBSubtitle: HD DVBSubtitle as used by BBC HD do now work.
  • Change: DVBSubtitles: optimized memory usage of DVBSubtitles.
  • Change: VODSource. Several improvements and extensions. Now you can play mp3 and aac streams via the VODSource. If possible all usable metadate is extracted from the streams.
  • Change: Playback of streams: Several improvements on playback of streams.
    • Detection of embedded Shoutcast or ASX playlists in asx playlists (asx V.1 and V.3).
    • Detailed media description of the streams (if possible) (resolution, bitrate etc.). Works also with the ASF Reader.
    • ASF Reader: If possible all usable metadata from the stream is read. Depends on the stream provider if there are any.

    [*] Reworked: Daemon tools support reworked. Now the completion of the unmount command is detected and then the mount command is send.

    [*]Reworked: Daemon tools (iso) options: Changes in the options needed a reload of the DVBViewer.

    [*]Reworked: DVD Handling renovated. The selection between multiple DVD drives now works. Support for Blueray and HDDVD images and folders rips in the OSD.

    [*]Removed: DVD Playback and Fileplayback without DVBSource now don't support customs graph files anymore.

    [*]Added: Experimental UniCable support according to the EN50494 standard. (What is UniCable? English Deutsch).

     

    Please note: UniCable will only work with TechnoTrend and FireDTV DVB-S/S2 devices. Other device drivers don't provide the means for UniCable support yet. In case of a TechnoTrend device the file ttBdaDrvApi_Dll.dll (optionally installed with DVBViewer Pro) must be present in the program directory.

     

    UniCable support is activated by inserting two lines in the appropriate device section of the file hardware.xml, while the DVBViewer is closed.

    The UniCable entries must look like this:

     

    <entry name="Slot">N</entry>
      <entry name="SlotFrequency">FFFF</entry>

    where N is the slot number (0..7) and FFFF the slot frequency (intermediate frequency, IF) in MHz on which different transponders are routed to the receiver. Example:

     

    <entry name="Slot">6</entry>
      <entry name="SlotFrequency">1980</entry>

    You may find these values on the antenna socket. Please note: On sockets or in manuals the slots may be numbered from 1 to 8. You will have to subtract 1 in this case.

     

    If you want to take part in the UniCable discussion, please join in here. It's a German thread, but you may also post in English.

    [*]Change: BDA-Devices: The search for the BDA_RECEIVER_COMPONENT fitting for the device to open reworked. In most cases it works without the SkipComponent hack (it is still there but if possible ignored). This should fix the Problems with two or more Twinhan/Technisat/Terratec S2 devices.

    [*]Change: Favourites: From now on there are no duplicate entries of channels with the same ChannelID in the favourites list allowed. They collided with the fav+/- function. Existing duplicates will be removed.

    [*]Add: Graph rebuild, manual Video/Audio A/B change take now the timeshift wirning into account.

    [*]Add: DVB-S2 Detection of Twinhan/Technisat devices improved.

    [*]Several small improvements and optimizations.
