Version 4.3 BETA

expires 29.10.2009

 

General

  • EPG and file handling is now completely in Unicode.
  • mp3 tags (Music tags) are also in unicode.
  • The databases are now in unicode.
  • Switched to the current sqlite database library. On first start the DVBViewer converts the old databases into the new format.
  • The Recording file name is in unicode now.
  • The OSD should show unicode correctly everywhere.
  • The User Interface should show unicode correctly everywhere.
  • Channel names and favorites do NOT use unicode for now.
  • Fix: Clicking on the progress bar in the status bar of the main window did not work correctly.
  • Fix: On deactivating AV pause was marked as active.
  • Change: Splitted recordings get now a "_xxx" name scheme.
  • Add: Fileplayback of splitted recordings does handle all splitted files as one.
  • Fix: If timeshift was active and pause was selected the stop button in the mediacontrol bar did not work.
  • Add: Added the data tag "#PremierePortal". If option channels are present it contains the count of available channels. If not option channels are available it can be "0" or empty.
  • Add: Right click on the Status display in the status bar opens the DVBSource Filter property window (if active).
  • Add: Action to open the DVBSource Filter property window (if active).
  • Fix: QBox DiseqC corrected according to griga.
  • Fix: Download of the EPG from the service: The DVBViewer did not respect the settings of the day count correctly.
  • Optimized: The Debug logging has been reworked and optimized.
  • Add: Channellist: A click on a folder does toggle expand/contract.
  • Change: Channellist: Expand/contract doesn't move the content of the treeview anymore.
  • Fix: The mosaic preview didn't work for channels with a separate PCR.
  • Add: Support for the Daemontools Pro.
  • Add: An easy method to query the current playback state (Stop, Play, Pause). Example:
    pause = datamanager.parse("#currentplaystate")
    ' possible values "no graph" = no playback active, this state you get, if you close the graph or start the DVBViewer with -c, "stop" - renderer is stopped, 
    ' "pause" - renderer in pause state, "play" renderer in play state.


  • Fix: The file info wasn't read if there was no Info file.
  • Fix: Popup channellist: Entering a text in the channel search was also interpreted as OSD commands.
  • Fix: EPG Window: Sometimes the details for the selected entry were not shown when opening the window.

OSD

  • Fix: OSD Media play back window: It was not possible to set an individual time out for it in the windowdef.xml.
  • Add: Demo OSD Skin (separate download): A demonstration how to integrate the timeshift data into the MiniEPG.
  • Change: The timeout of the MiniEPG browsing is now set to the OSD timeout.
  • Add: Demo OSD Skin: The Volume bar is vertical to demonstrate the use of a vertical progress bar.
  • Add: Demo OSD Skin: Changed the Timer Edit window a little bit. It now uses different controls. ATTENTION! The changes do not work with older DVBViewer versions.
  • Add: OSD Skin Controls: New control: numeric input field. It is very similar to the Up/Down control but without the arrows.
  • Add: OSD Timeline: The settings of the time interval are now saved and restored.
  • Fix: OSD Timeline: It was possible to cause a negative time interval.
  • Change: OSD Timeline: Prev/Next: Switches forward/backwards by day. You can't jump before the current date.
  • Add: Play symbol is shown in the OSD if you go from Pause to Play. You can adjust the timeout for this display in the Setup.xml section "OSD".
    <entry name="Playtimeout">1000</entry>


    The value is measured in Milliseconds, default is 1000 (1 second).
    You have to add in the skin file "videoinfo.xml" an according element (image) with the ID = 26. See Demo OSD Skin.

  • Change: The action "Show Current Info" (8264) shows now if the MiniEPG is active, the details of the top EPG Entry of the MiniEPG. If MiniEPG is not active it shows the EPG details of the current or time shifted program or on recording playback the details of the recording (if any).
    This action is a toggle. If the details are shown, calling this action does go back to the previous OSD window.
  • Add: A new tweak in the Setup.xml section "OSD"
    <entry name="Volumedelay">500</entry>


    The value describes the timeout of the Volume Display in milliseconds. Default is 500.

  • Fix: OSD Listview Control: The vertical spacing problems are gone.
  • Add: Custom Date/Time formatting for some values.
    For the following #Tags you can use a custom Date/Time format:
    #TV.Now.starttime
    #TV.Now.stoptime
    #TV.Next.starttime
    #TV.Next.stoptime
    #EPG.stoptime
    #EPG.starttime


    An example can be found in the Demo OSD skin MiniEPG -> Date Label.

    #Time.dddd_dd._mmmm%TV.Now.starttime


    With the keyword "#Time." you tell the parser you want to use a custom format. Then you enter the wanted formatting where you replace all Spaces with "_". At the end you enter which #Tag to use, you have to replace the "#" with a "%".

  • Add: Added the data tag "#TV.Timeshift.image". It does contain the value "timeshift.png", if timeshift is active. See demo skin / MiniEPG for an example. (Attention: the tweak "TimeshiftEPGdisplay" must be enabled).
  • Add:
     svc_wol.png
    svc_epg.png
    svc_standby.png
    svc_hibernate.png
    svc_shutdown.png
    svc_back.png


    to the OSD service menu.

  • Add: the tags:
     #menufocusimage+2; #menufocusimage+1; #menufocusimage-1;	 #menufocusimage-2


  • Add: New Version of the OSD Skin editor, which can handle the new/changed controls (included in the Demo OSD Skin download)

Version 4.3.1.5 BETA

expires 02.11.2009

 

General

  • Fix: The EPG Parser did ignore the language field of the descriptor. This could cause wrong display of text for some non ANSI languages.
  • Fix: Recording files with a -xx (xx=numbers) at the end of the file name were ignored on a database refresh.
  • Fix: OSD Timeline: The display was messed up if you selected a time windows > 60 minutes.

 

Big Change:

  • Added three new Renderer types: "DirectX Custom", "VMR9 Custom" and "EVR Custom". You can activate them in Options → DirectX → "Use Custom Renderer".
    These renderers are experimental.
    They are based on D3D9, so your graphics adapter must fully support DirectX9. They
    • use the hardware to composite and render the output.
    • are DXVA and DXVA2 compliant (DXVA2 only for Vista+ and EVR), note: your video decoders must support this.

    If you activate the custom renderers the DVBViewer checks if there are Dlls missing. In case they are missing, it displays a warning and asks you to install the files from the MS website. These files are not essential for the renderers to work, but if you want to use the shaders, you will need the files.

    Known limitations:

    • EVR only work with Vista and windows 7.
    • Screenshots are not possible (but ALT + Print works).
    • You can not mix custom and normal renderers. If you select one method you have to stick with it (Video A/B and DVD). PiP does NOT use the custom renderers.

Version 4.3.1.20 BETA

expires 09.11.2009

 

 

This Beta focuses only on improvements to the Custom Renderers. Many things have been changed, optimized and further refined. For instance screenshots are now possible (well one of the minor improvements ;) ).

 

There is not much to say about it, the specifics would fill pages and most people wouldn't even know what it means, so we skip the change listing this time.

 

Happy testing.

  • Fix: Rebuildgraph with the Overlay renderer resulted in a black picture.
  • Fix: EVR Custom renderer: There was a memory leak if the DVBClock was activated in the DVBViewer Filter.
  • Fix: Playback: movies with SRT subtitle files didn't start.
  • Fix: MiniEPG: On browsing the time was set to the current time sometimes.
  • Fix: Playback: The resume didn't work anymore for some formats.
  • Add: OSD Controls: Label controls now have a selected color. You need the updated OSD-skin editor from the "OSD Demo skin & Editor" file in the Membersarea/Beta.
  • Removed: Recorder window: Stop and split were moved to the Rec Stats window.
  • Change: VCR: The DVB Task Scheduler (if present) now is run with every saving of the timers.xml. Hopefully this solves the problems with vista/win 7.
  • Fix: Close Graph: Now on each action which would cause a graph close there is a check if the audio recorder plugin is active with a warning dialog.
  • Add: OSD-Controls: You can disable the text of the thumbnails in the thumbnail panel. You can also adjust the "zoom factor" (the zooming if a thumbnail gets the focus). The higher the zoom factor value the less the resizing. You need the updated OSD Skineditor from "OSD Demo skin & Editor".
  • Add: Several improvement by griga for playback of ts files with the DVBSource.
  • Fix: OSD-Playlist: Delete (OSD-Green) didn't work anymore. Also the performance of list building was a little bit Improved.
  • Fix: Main window / Status bar: If ToggleFav was active and a channel couldn't be identified as a favorite the display of the left hand panel of the status bar was empty.
  • Change: Hardware: TT compatible Pinnacle devices are not detected as hybrid devices anymore.
  • Fix: MiniEPG: If ToggleFav was active, favorites, which did not corresponded with the main channel (means a audio sub channel was a favorite), were displayed with the channel number instead of the favorite number on EPG browsing.
  • Fix: DVBSubtitle: Several improvements and fixes.
  • Add: Data tags: Tag #endtime added for fileplayback.
  • Add: OSD Recording window: Now there are several data tags (#EPG.xxxx please check with DVB-Spy) set, if a recording item is focused (and the data is present).
  • Add: Playback: Added some kind of fast forward/ fast rewind for Overlay/Custom VMR9/Custom EVR Renderer.
    It's basically a timer doing a small jump forward or backward. The jump value can be incremented. You need DVBViewer Filter 3.5.1+ for this to work.
  • Add: Actions/Input Options: Added/reassigned the Action_Forward/Action_Rewind for FF/FREW.
  • Add: Tweaks: Added a tweak to use the FF/FREW with F6/F7 (OSD Green/Yellow) and in the playback control window (<< and >>). see tweaks.txt.

Version 4.3.1.100 BETA

expires 30.04.2010

  • Fix: OSD TTX Subtitles: Fixed wrong colors shown.
  • Fix: BDA Hardware: For TT devices without the TT dll the wrong DiSEqC method was used.
  • Fix: Playback: Griga fixed the frame rate detection for h.264 files.
  • Fix: System: In case of a faulty configuration XML file this file now is renamed and replaced with a new one.
  • Fix: Timers: The %name placeholder for recording names was not filled correctly.
  • Add: Actions: Added actions to toggle display/sorting/sort direction in music/video/picture OSD-windows:
    ACTION_TOGGLE_VIEW=8278
    ACTION_TOGGLE_SORT=8279
    ACTION_TOGGLE_SORTDIRECTION=8280
  • Fix: Filter property pages: Changed the way the property pages of filters are handled, so not more side effects do occur.
  • Fix: Recorder window: Deleting a remote running timer also delete the recorded file on the recording service.
  • Add: Playback: Files with the extension ".mts" are now handled like .m2ts (bluray) files. On existing installations you have to add the extension manually to the video options.
  • Add: OSD Windows: Added a default and a dynamic Backdrop (background) to the OSD window xml definition.
    The default backdrop must be an image file with the size of the OSD skin.
    The dynamic backdrop can be empty or contain a data tag which points to a qualified file name of an image. If the image is not found or the data tag is empty the default backdrop will be shown.
    If custom renderers are used, the backdrops will be drawn by D3D which should improve the performance. Be careful: OSD dialog windows can't use the backdrops!
    For an example and an updated skin editor take a look at the "OSD Demo skin & Editor" in the beta section of the membersarea.
  • Fix: Recorder Window: For a new empty timer sometimes the wrong time format was used.
  • Change: Teletext OSD window: You can now cycle through several transparencies with OSD-Red (F5). The viewer will remember the last selected transparency and use it the next time the window is shown.
  • Update: Updated several language files.
  • Change: Custom Renderers: Reworked the custom renderers once more. Hopefully this will fix the problem with stuttering and stopping. Please test.

Version 4.3.1.110 BETA

expires 30.04.2010

  • Add: DirectX Options: Added "Reset Device on monitor change". This setting equals the tweak "D3DCompleteResetMonitorChange".
