MHEG5

 

We finally added MHEG-5 support to the DVBViewer.

 

  • What is it?
    MHEG-5 is a TV middleware and modern replacement of the old teletext. It is used in the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, Ireland and Germany (via Technisat Multytext on Astra 19.2°E).
     
  • A video presentation can be found here:

     
  • How to get it?
    The MHEG-5 plugin is a third party add-on and has to be ordered separate. To do so, open the key tool and press order, next to the MHEG-5 entry.
    Attention: Keep in mind that the license is bound to the email which was been used to buy the DVBViewer!
    After the transaction has been completed, the downloadable content will be unlocked for your DVBViewer member account in the DVBViewer members area (https://www.DVBViewer.tv/members/).
    Once the installation process is done, the personal plugin key you got via email has to be entered inside the keytool. You have to make sure that the code corresponds with the one you got provided by us. A triple-digit CRC Checksum indicates if the entered key is correct.

 

General

 


     
  • Change: Teletext Subtitles: The language of TTx subtitles is now detected by examining the PMT. This should result in a more accurate detection than before. Thanks @Griga.

Recordings/Timer

 


     
  • Add: Recordings : Optional removal of H.264 filler data while recording. (see recording options).
  • Thanks to forums user Martin K for contributing the concept and code and to Griga for adapting it to the DVBViewer!
  • Some (not all) HD channels, particularly Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, arte HD and ORF HD, are inserting filler data in the H.264 video stream in order to keep a constant bitrate. The percentage of filler data depends on the broadcasted content. E.g. in low motion scenes 50% or more of the H.264 stream may consist of filler data, and in case of movie opening or closing titles even more than 90%. So removing the H.264 filler data may decrease the size of TS recordings with H.264 content considerably, in some cases to 50% and less.
  • Fix: Channel auto update : Sometimes the channel auto update for recordings didn't work correctly.
  • Change: The default name scheme for recording is now: %date_%time_%station_%name
     

 

EPG

 


     
  • Fix: D+ EPG (Spanish MHW EPG) works again.
  • Add: EPG: Support for the Japanese Arib8 EPG format.
  • Fix: EPG Options : Reworked the language selection in the EPG options.
  • Change: The ISO language is now shown in the EPG language options .
  • Add: Tweaks : Added “DVBEPGAsAnsi” Tweak (see Tweaks.txt). Determinates if the DVB EPG Parser ignores the language settings in the EIT and converts the text from the local charset to UTF-8. May help if you get strange chars in the EPG.
  • You have to set the locales setting of the system account the recording service is running in to the same locales your user account is using.
  • OSD
  • Change: OSD Timer window : The askdeletetimer setting now also works for the OSD timer window.
  • Change: OSD channel list window : OSD Left/Right on a channel group now jumps one group forward/backward.
  • Change: OSD Default skin : Some fixes and small changes.

  • Recording service related
