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.

Playback

Add: DVB/Bluray/HDDisk images : can be played by Drag'n'Drop into the main window or “open media file” (still needs Daemon Tools or Virtual CloneDrive).
Fix: Tag reader/Flac files: The Vorbis Comments tags were not read correctly for flac files.
Recording service related
Change: EPG loaded from the Service : Is now handled again as external EPG.
Change: Sending WOL to the Recording Service PC on program start up: Now the messages pump is kept working while waiting for the WOL. No more “... doesn't respond” messages.
DVBServer
Updated to the current hardware handling, please see above for changes.

We have release the new DVBViewer Pro 4.5 today.

ATTENTION: You can download the DVBViewer Pro 4.5 only from https://www.dvbviewer.tv/members/

The changelog:

Unicode support

* EPG and file handling is now completely in Unicode.
* mp3 tags (Music tags) are also in Unicode.
* The databases are now in Unicode (UTF-8).
* The Recording file name is in Unicode now.
* The OSD shows Unicode correctly everywhere.
* The User Interface shows Unicode correctly everywhere.
* Channel names and favorites do NOT use Unicode for now.
* Change: Play lists: The play list loader now detects UTF-8 encoded and non UTF-8 encoded files and loads them accordingly.
* Change: Teletext: Integrated the new Teletext engine by Griga. It is fully Unicode compatible and contains a lot of improvements.

Custom Renderers

* Added two new Renderer types: “VMR9 Custom” and “EVR Custom”. You can activate them in Options → DirectX → “Use Custom Renderer”.
They are based on D3D9, so your graphics adapter must fully support DirectX9. They use the hardware to composite and render the output and 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:
o EVR only works with Vista and windows 7.
o 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.
* Add: D3D Exclusive Mode: Works only with custom Renderer activated and skinning of the main window deactivated.
You can activate with a tweak in the setup.xml section “MPEG” with the entry
<entry name="D3DExclusive">1</entry>
Of course it only works in full screen mode. You can't access the popup menu or any other window. You can only use the OSD.
* Add: Pixelshaders can be selected to apply various effects on the videodisplay including an anaglyph 3D shader for side by side 3D transmissions.


Windows 7 support

* Add: An Overlay Icon for the DVBViewer taskbar symbol, showing the recording status, thanks to rago (W7 only).
* Add: Taskbar thumbnails: New Icons for the Taskbar Preview thumbnail buttons thanks to rago
* Add: Support for Windows 7 jump list (right click on the programs taskbar icon). The jumplist entries are defined in the file “jumplist.ini”. You can add max. 10 entries. The format is:
[name]=[DVBViewer commandline parameter(s)].
Some examples are included (channels only work for Astra 19.2E users).
* Fix: Vista/Win7: Fixed application freezes if the virtual keyboard of windows was used.

Fix: Prevent Screensaver: On windows 7 and Vista the screensaver was prevented even if the setting was deactivated, due to changes made by MS.

OSD

* Fix: OSD: Fixed high system load for 3 secs after channel switching.
* Fix: OSD Media play back window: It was not possible to set an individual time out for it in the windowdef.xml.
* 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: 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.
* 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: OSD: The record Button does add or delete a timer on the following OSD pages: EPG-Now, Timeline, Channellist, EPG-Search, EPG-Details, EPG-Channels. The confirmation can be disabled (see tweaks.txt).
* Change: OSD: Plugin windows, Weather- and Newswindow: Images will be removed from the internal cache if they are not used anymore.
* Add: OSD: Added “#menufocustext“ tags according to the “#menufocusimage“ tags.
* Change: OSD: The home windows do not need a menu control on it anymore.
* Change: OSD-Windowdef. Now you can put a Windowdef.xml into the OSD skin folder and the Viewer uses it instead of the main windowdef.xml.
Attention! Careful using this, because of possible user rights problems with options "OSD Menu".
* Fix: OSD-Controls: The Sliderbar control had a display bug, if it was displayed larger than the original size.
* 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).
* Fix: OSD-Playlist: Delete (OSD-Green) didn't work anymore. Also the performance of list building was a little bit Improved.
* 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: OSD Controls: Label controls now have a selected color.
* Fix: MiniEPG: On browsing the time was set to the current time sometimes.
* Add: OSD Plugin interface: Added a new interface to get access to the OSD-controls of a OSDWindow. You find the definition here: http://www.dvbviewer...ndpost&p=289410
* 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.
* 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!
* 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: OSD: It was not possible to disable subtitles if no subtitles were present but a subtitle has been earlier selected.
* Add: OSD EPG windows: Added a new menu item in the OSD blue popup menu: “Prebook”. This programs a tuning timer without dialog window and with EPG pre- and post roll times. Works in the windows: ChannelEPG, ChannelWindow, EPGNow, EPGSearch, Timeline.
* Add: Recordings OSD window: Added a menu item to reset the played state of a recording.
* Fix: PiP: Closing the OSD context menu via OSD Blue didn't work.
* Fix: OSD EPG details: OSD-OK now also switches the channel if the page was opened from the MiniEPG.
* Fix: OSD Timeline: The display was messed up if you selected a time windows > 60 minutes.
* Change: OSD: The internal handling of item lists has been reworked and optimized.
* Add: OSD: EPG entries marked for recording can be made more visible with an additional little symbol (See Demo OSD-Skin in the membersarea/Betasection).
* Change: MiniEPG: Browsing is now done by a single entry not by page.
* Fix: MiniEPG: On browsing the remaining time for programs in the future was calculated and shown.
* 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.
* Add: Data properties: Added "#PiP" property. If the PiP is active &#8594; “1” and if the PiP is closed either an empty value or “0”.

Hardware related

* Change: Hardware: LNB Off can be set per device, if it supports this. You have to do a manual device scan to see the option on the hardware page.

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 4.5.0.0 RC

Expires 01.11.2010

Unicode support

* EPG and file handling is now completely in Unicode.
* mp3 tags (Music tags) are also in Unicode.
* The databases are now in Unicode (UTF-8).
* The Recording file name is in Unicode now.
* The OSD shows Unicode correctly everywhere.
* The User Interface shows Unicode correctly everywhere.
* Channel names and favorites do NOT use Unicode for now.
* Change: Play lists: The play list loader now detects UTF-8 encoded and non UTF-8 encoded files and loads them accordingly.
* Change: Teletext: Integrated the new Teletext engine by Griga. It is fully Unicode compatible and contains a lot of improvements.


Custom Renderers

* Added two new Renderer types: "VMR9 Custom" and "EVR Custom". You can activate them in Options &#8594; DirectX &#8594; "Use Custom Renderer".
They are based on D3D9, so your graphics adapter must fully support DirectX9. They use the hardware to composite and render the output and 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:
o EVR only works with Vista and windows 7.
o 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.
* Add: D3D Exclusive Mode: Works only with custom Renderer activated and skinning of the main window deactivated.
You can activate with a tweak in the setup.xml section "MPEG" with the entry
<entry name="D3DExclusive">1</entry>
Of course it only works in full screen mode. You can't access the popup menu or any other window. You can only use the OSD.
* Add: Pixelshaders can be selected to apply various effects on the videodisplay including an anaglyph 3D shader for side by side 3D transmissions.


Windows 7 support

* Add: An Overlay Icon for the DVBViewer taskbar symbol, showing the recording status, thanks to rago (W7 only).
* Add: Taskbar thumbnails: New Icons for the Taskbar Preview thumbnail buttons thanks to rago
* Add: Support for Windows 7 jump list (right click on the programs taskbar icon). The jumplist entries are defined in the file "jumplist.ini". You can add max. 10 entries. The format is:
[name]=[DVBViewer commandline parameter(s)].
Some examples are included (channels only work for Astra 19.2E users).
* Fix: Vista/Win7: Fixed application freezes if the virtual keyboard of windows was used.
* Fix: Prevent Screensaver: On windows 7 and Vista the screensaver was prevented even if the setting was deactivated, due to changes made by MS.


OSD

* Fix: OSD Media play back window: It was not possible to set an individual time out for it in the windowdef.xml.
* 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: 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.
* 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: OSD: The record Button does add or delete a timer on the following OSD pages: EPG-Now, Timeline, Channellist, EPG-Search, EPG-Details, EPG-Channels. The confirmation can be disabled (see tweaks.txt).
* Change: OSD: Plugin windows, Weather- and Newswindow: Images will be removed from the internal cache if they are not used anymore.
* Add: OSD: Added "#menufocustext" tags according to the "#menufocusimage" tags.
* Change: OSD: The home windows do not need a menu control on it anymore.
* Change: OSD-Windowdef. Now you can put a Windowdef.xml into the OSD skin folder and the Viewer uses it instead of the main windowdef.xml.
Attention! Careful using this, because of possible user rights problems with options "OSD Menu".
* Fix: OSD-Controls: The Sliderbar control had a display bug, if it was displayed larger than the original size.
* 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).
* Fix: OSD-Playlist: Delete (OSD-Green) didn't work anymore. Also the performance of list building was a little bit Improved.
* 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: OSD Controls: Label controls now have a selected color.
* Fix: MiniEPG: On browsing the time was set to the current time sometimes.
* Add: OSD Plugin interface: Added a new interface to get access to the OSD-controls of a OSDWindow. You find the definition here: http://www.dvbviewer...ndpost&p=289410
* 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.
* 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!
* 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: OSD: It was not possible to disable subtitles if no subtitles were present but a subtitle has been earlier selected.
* Add: OSD EPG windows: Added a new menu item in the OSD blue popup menu: "Prebook". This programs a tuning timer without dialog window and with EPG pre- and post roll times. Works in the windows: ChannelEPG, ChannelWindow, EPGNow, EPGSearch, Timeline.
* Add: Recordings OSD window: Added a menu item to reset the played state of a recording.
* Fix: PiP: Closing the OSD context menu via OSD Blue didn't work.

* Fix: OSD Timeline: The display was messed up if you selected a time windows > 60 minutes.
* Change: OSD: The internal handling of item lists has been reworked and optimized.
* Add: OSD: EPG entries marked for recording can be made more visible with an additional little symbol (See Demo OSD-Skin in the membersarea/Betasection).
* Change: MiniEPG: Browsing is now done by a single entry not by page.
* Fix: MiniEPG: On browsing the remaining time for programs in the future was calculated and shown.
* 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.
* Add: Data properties: Added "#PiP" property. If the PiP is active &#8594; "1" and if the PiP is closed either an empty value or "0".

Timeshift

* Add: Timeshift: It is now possible to start a recording in timeshift mode. The timeshift timer converts the timeshift from the current shown timeshift position on to a "normal" recording file. Exception: The actual timeshift position = LiveTV (at the very end of the timeshift buffer) in this case a normal instant recording is started.
o The conversion runs as fast as possible till it reaches the end of the timeshift buffer. If the end is reached the data is converted as soon as it arrives in the timeshift buffer.
o It is a real timer. All settings (format etc) apply. Exception: Only the current audio track is recorded (timeshift does only buffer the current audio track).
o If timeshift is stopped the timer is stopped.
o If a timeshift timer is active you get a warning on channel switching, even if the option is deactivated. Channel switching stops timeshift ? timer stops.
o If available the EPG data corresponding to the timeshift time is used for the recording.
o The instant recording popup menu works also for timeshift timers. Notice: the times apply to the current time not the timeshifted time.
o The timeshift timers are visible in all the timer lists.

o If an existing root folder is selected the channels already present are updated and new ones are added. You can disable the adding of new found channels by enabling "Update only".
o If you enter a new root folder or leave it empty all channels are added as new to the new root folder. If the root folder name is empty a unique name for the root folder is generated.
o The display in the lower area now shows the count of the new found channels and updated channels.
* Add: "In-depth search": If this option is enabled the scanner also examines the NIT and can add new transponders or update existing one. This option takes a little longer than a normal scan.
Requirements:
o A transponder list with at least one valid frequency entry is selected.
o The whole frequency range (Start/End frequency) must be enabled.
o Works only with "Scan Range"
o Not available for ATSC or IPTV.

* Fix: EVR/aspect ratio change and PIP. Hopefully a solution for missing picture after a aspect ratio change and EVR.
* Fix: EVR: A Black box stays on the screen fixed.
* Change: Removed check for driver supports color changes.
* Change: Brightness default is now set according to the used renderer. Should cure the Overlay too dark problem. Please reset the brightness value to default.
* Add: Added a Shockwave/Flash renderer (experimental). You need flash installed.


Recordings/Timers

* Fix: Griga reworked the MPEG recording to make it more robust.
* 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.
* Fix: Timers: minimal free disc space was not taken correctly into account if bigger than 2 GB.
* Fix: The start recording script got called, even if the recording did not start successfully (no hardware available etc).
* Removed: The DisableAV setting for timers is removed. Starting recording timers do not change the current setting of View &#8594; Disable Audio/Video in the main window anymore.


OSD

* Fix: OSD Teletext: Missing text on SF2.
* Fix: OSD, VMR/EVR and encrypted channels. As long as a channel can't be decrypted the "overlay" OSD is shown in case there needs to be a message displayed.
* 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: Stopping recordings via the OSD-Blue pop up menu doesn't show the instant recording menu anymore.
* Fix: EPG Window / OSD: Cyrillic and several other char sets are now also displayed correctly.
* Change: Favorite Window: The window now reflects the selected favorite better by opening the favorite folder and marking the favorite, if the channel played back in the main window is a favorite.
* Fix: Text Subtitle Window: Border color and shadow color were not properly applied.
* Add: Extended controlling of the Recording service (needs V. 1.4.7.110+).
o New menu in the OSD: OSD main menu &#8594; system &#8594; Rec service - with the following options:
+ Standby, Hibernate, Shutdown (PC): Triggers the according action in the recording service. The service does give a 30 seconds warning. In this time window all the DVBViewer clients show a dialog window, where the user can stop the action.
+ Load EPG: gets the EPG from the service.
+ Wake On LAN: Wakes the recording service PC (even from Soft-Off). The PC must be configured to accept WOL.
Important: The DVBViewer needs to have at least once contact with the service PC to get it's MAC address.
These functions are also accessible via actions (see actions.ini). This menu is only available, if you configured the Recording Service connection properly.


Hardware
You might have to do a manual rescan of the hardware devices, if you do an update installation.

* Add: DVB-S2 Detection of Twinhan/Technisat/Terratec devices improved.
* Fix: Terratec XE MKII DVB-T (AfaTech-AF9015-DVB-T-Sticks) devices do not need the low bandwidth option anymore if connected to a USB 2.0 port. Will be configured automatically.
* Add: Support for Pinnacle PCTV 380e/510e DVB-C hybrid.
* Add: Support for Turbosight clones.
* Add: Support for TerraTex XE MK II clones.
* Add: Twinhan WDM support back again.
* Fix: Hybrid tuner handling: Fixed some issues.
* 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.
* Add: DiseqC for BDA DVBWorld device.
* Add: Basic support for Genpix WDM devices.


DiSEqC 1.1/1.2

* New: Completely rewritten 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 3.3+ for this. It is much better suited.
For details please read the DiSEqC instructions:
http://www.dvbviewer.com/griga/TransEdit%20E/DiSEqC.html


UniCable support

* 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:

QUELLTEXT
<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:

QUELLTEXT
<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.


DVBViewer as a network client of the Recording Service.
Needs Recording service 1.4.7.110+.
In this scenario the DVBViewer connects as a client via the unicast network device to the Recording Service. All recordings are done by the Recording Service (except instant timers), the recordings are centralized on the server and the data of the Recording Service (timers, EPG, recordings) is integrated seamless into the DVBViewer Pro.
Important: Make sure you use the same channels.dat by copying it from the Recording Service to the DVBViewer userdata folder.
Please read more in the Recording Service docs.

* Add: Options: Service Options dialog.
o Service address and Port: The IP/Servername and the Port of the Webinterface of the Recording Service.
o Username: The Username used for the Webinterface of the Recording Service.
o Password: The Password used for the Webinterface of the Recording Service.
o Test connection: Checks if the Recording Service can be accessed with the entered Username, Password and IP.
o 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.
o 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.
You can also create manual timers in the recorder window which are send to the service.
o Connect to timer list: Enables the DVBViewer to show and edit the timer list of the Recording Service.
Only Recording timers are listed because the DVBViewer doesn't know the other timer types.
Not every function of the DVBViewer recorder window is supported. Recording folders, no file write and Transponder dump from the edit window do not work. Unknown timer actions or end actions are not accepted and mapped to the default values of the service.
Notice: Instant and tuning timers are handled by the DVBViewer not by the Recording Service.
o 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. You have to setup this function in the Service according to it's readme_svc.
o Tuning Priority: Values 0-100. Allows to assign a priority to the DVBViewer unicast network device. So you can control which client can override the channel selection of another client.
* Add: If the recording service needs the device used by a client for a recording or a client with a higher tuning priority wants the device, the DVBViewer client in question is automatically forced to do a channel change.
* Add: If the recording service forces a channel change a message is shown.
* Add: If the DVBViewer connects to a recording service and the channel can not be tuned because all devices are in use and none is fitting, it gets redirected to a working channel.
* Add: Network CAM/MMI. The client which did the last non forced tuning request has control over the MMI.
* Add: If the DVBViewer is running after Standby or Hibernate, it refreshes it's EPG from the service.


General

* 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.
* Fix: The COM Interface gave a wrong value for the stereo audio mode.
* Add: EPG-Parser: Added "slv" as language identifier.
* Add: Tweaks: MinVolume in case you can hear something even if muted, lower this value.
* Fix: If the DVBViewer did crash while the Recording Service is running, it couldn't be started anymore (this also applies to the DVBServer, Transedit and DVBViewer GE).
* Fix: Fixed a bug in the RDS parser.
* Change: Favorites: From now on there are no duplicate entries of channels with the same ChannelID in the favorites list allowed. They collided with the fav+/- function. Existing duplicates will be removed.
* Add: Graph rebuild and manual Video/Audio A/B changes take now the timeshift warning setting into account.
* Add: "Autodetect Audio/Video" will be automatically disabled if a network device is in use.
* Change: On Standby/Hibernate in Vista the DVBViewer now closes down the playback. On waking up the last channel is tuned (if activated in the TV+Radio options). It depends of the driver of the DVB device, if this works.
* Fix: Teletext- window &#8594; Save Dialog: it was possible to input non numbers for the page numbers.
* Several small improvements and optimizations.


DVBServer

* 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.
* Fix: Several small cosmetic changes in the DVBServer interface.
* Add: DVBServer: Twinhan WDM support back again.
* Change: DVBServer now shows "Automatic" instead of "0.0.0.0".
* Add: ShareLNB can only be activated if more than one enabled

DVBViewer Filter support

* Add: Added support for DVB Clock in the DVBViewer. For more information see DVBSource ReadMe.rtf.
* New: MP3-Playback with the DVBViewer Filter (Version 3.2.0+). Activate this in Options -> DirectX -> Use DVBViewer Filter for MP3.
* New: Playback of non encrypted M2TS-files (BluRay-fileformat) with the DVBViewer Filter (Version 3.2.0+), including all for BluRay defined Video/Audio-formats, if there is a fitting decoder in the system. Activate this in Options -> DirectX -> Use DVBViewer Filter for TS/M2TS.
* New: Playback of non encrypted VOB-files (DVD-fileformat) with the DVBViewer Filter, including all for Video-DVDs defined Video/Audio formats, if there is a fitting decoder in the system. Activate this in Options -> DirectX -> Use DVBViewer Filter for MPG/VOB.
* Removed: Support for user defined filter graph files if the DVBViewer filter is used.

MKV files and subtitles

* New: Playback of MKV-files with subtitles.
To use Subtitles you need the following:
1. The Haali Mediasplitter must be installed.
2. ffdshow must be the active decoder and in the ffdshow video decoder configurations the options "Subtitles", "Accept embedded subtitles" and "Accept SSA, ASS and ASS2 subtitles" are activated.
or (more reliable)
3. The DirectVobSub-Filter is installed and in the property page of the Haali Splitters in Options -> Compatibility -> Autoload VSFilter "Yes" is selected. The DVBViewer does not load DirectVobSub by itself, because if it is used, the decoder can not use the hardware supported decoding.

Decoder/Renderer Configuration

* New: Completely reworked the Options -> DirectX page.
* New: Decoder and Renderer input does use now a unified mask (affects DirectX, PiP and DVD).
* New: Split PiP options from the mosaic preview options.
* New: You can specify a MP3 Decoder in the Options -> DirectX Audio settings.
* Removed: Postprocessor in the DirectX settings. Please use the Postprocessor plugin from the members page.
* New: In Options -> DirectX you can configure two sets of different Videodecoders/Videorenderers (Video A/B) and Audiodecoders/Audiorenderers (Audio A/B). Switching between these settings can be done manually or automatically:
1) Manually: You find the commands in the main menu -> Settings or you can define keys in Options -> input for it.
Switching between the sets does trigger a rebuild graph.

2) Automatically: In Options -> DirectX you find on the tab sheet "Video B" and "Audio B" edit boxes labeled "Auto B-Conditions". The following conditions (if you use more than one, separate them by a "," without the ") can be used here:

File (file playback)
Video (Playback with Video)
H.264 (H.264 Video)
MPEG2 (MPEG2 Video)
DVBSource (DVBViewer Filter is used)

A Slash / in front means "not" (Negation, example: /File = TV/Radio (not file)). The automatic switching to Set B happens, if all listed conditions are met, otherwise the DVBViewer uses Set A. If you define auto-conditions the manual switching is disabled.

Some examples:
o Using Vista you want for H.264 Video the EVR otherwise the Overlay Mixer to be used. In Video A you set the Overlay Mixer, in Video B you select EVR and as condition you set "H.264".
o H.264-Playback with the DVBViewer Filter should use the Cyberlink Decoder (Video A), otherwise ffdshow (Video B ), this is useful for H.264 in MKV-file, which the DVBViewer Filter doesn't handle. The needed condition would be "H.264,/DVBSource".
o Playback of video files should use ReClock Audiorenderer, for the rest (TV/Radio and audio only playback) Default DirectSound (Audio A). In Audio B you set ReClock as renderer and use the condition "Video,File".

Automatic Selection of a AC3-Audiotrack

* New: Options -> General -> Prefer AC3-audio. If activated the DVBViewer does automatically select the AC3 audio track for file/DVD playback if available.

Video/Audio-Format, DVD

* New: Quick info of current Video/Audio type if you move the mouse cursor over the aspect ratio or audio format field in the status bar.
* Improved: Format detection on playbacks without DVBViewer Filter. Video/Audio types and Format parameters are more precisely detect.
* Changed: Playback without the DVBViewer Filter does not connect unused Output Pins of the Splitter/Demultiplexer-Filter with the Nullrenderer anymore, because this caused problems with the Haali Splitter and the MPC Mpeg Splitter.
* New: Support for EAC3 (you need a fitting audio decoder). For more information see the DVBSource ReadMe.rtf.
* Change: The audio track selection for DVD shows more informations.
* New: Graph rebuild and DVD playback work now.
* New: Graph rebuild and file playback work now.
* Fix: TTX only ts streams did not play correctly.

Several windows

* Change: Several windows: right click in a list/treeview does now select the entry under the mouse cursor.
* Change: Channeleditor: right click selects the underlying entry.
* Change: Channeleditor: click outside the channellist de-selects the last selection. important for export.
* Fix: Channeleditor : exporting of sub channels in the channel editor does work now.
* New: Channellistpopup: activate in options/TV+Radio. Do not use together with remote or Keyboard! Experimental, handle with care!
* Fix: The EPG window is shown even if no EPG is available/present.
* Change: EPG Window: recorder window can be open via popup menu.
* Fix: Chinese language support in the EPG window and in partially in the OSD.
You may have to edit the fonts.xml in the OSDSkin/[yourusedskin] folder.
It might also be necessary to adjust some OSD elements in the XML definitions, if the text is too big and doesn't show up.
OSD support is (for now) limited, because some things need a lot of changes...
* Change: Recorder window: EPG window can be opened via popup menu.
* Change: Removed the save button in the recorder window. Update does save now the changes.
* Fix: Toggling the channellist visible/invisible in the recording/epg window did block resizing of the channellist.
* Fix: DiseqC window: sanity check of entered values in the position and diseqc window.
* Change: Color/Brightness/Contrast window is only selectable if the driver reports that it can handle these settings.
* Fix: Color/Brightness with INTEL graphics cards: fixed wrong default values for INTEL graphics cards. Thanks @Griga.

Options and Settings

* New: OSD-Options: added an option to disable the automatic OSD-menu scrolling if the mouse is in the "hotzones" of it.
* Updated the wizard, scan window, hardware options and channel editor window with the additional channel groups.
* Change: Timeshift and recording folders are checked for sufficient rights on adding in the options.
* Fix: Recordings were under certain circumstances registered several times on refreshing the database.
* Fix: Under certain circumstances a exception did break the import of recordings into the database.
* Change: Removed the default folder selection for the audio/video/picture shares.

DVB Subtitles

* Change: DVBSubtitles are now shown with the intended transparency.
* Change: Thanks to Griga the DVB subtitles now are shown "just in time" instead of "sometimes". Also a fix for too late finnish subtitles is included. They are now shown as soon as they arrive, if they are overdue.

Freesat EPG

* New: Support for FreeSAT EPG on Astra 28.
FreeSAT EPG is handled like MHW EPG. So you have to activate it in the options and put the correct frequency (11428 h) into the options list.
Additionally you need the "Complete Tables" file from http://www.rst38.org.uk/vdr/ .
The files freesat.t1 and freesat.t2 must be extracted into the DVBViewer program folder.

Actions/Tweaks

* New: New action "Show Current Info". Shows/Hides the current epginfo or recording info (if played back). You can use it via an custom input command.
* New: Action: Show Radio list=8265
* New: Added FMenuClickPercent to tweaks.txt
* New: EVR: if activated (see tweaks -> EVRVideoprocessor) the video processor for EVR will be set. The first item of the video processor list of the driver will be always used, as this is according to MS the best choice (Vista only).

COM

* Fix: COM: Mute doesn't work as expected.
* New: Several enhancements on the COM Interface.
* Fix: Importing the COM tlb in Visual Studio should now work without problems.
* Fix: All playback starts are send via COM. Careful, Pause does not send a play backstop but you get a playback start on playing again.

DVBServer

* 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. smile.gif

* 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!

DVBViewer V2.2
[requested features]

* Multicast streaming for media-files
* "real" DVB-subtitles used in Scandinavia (maybe this is helpful: link)
* When moving the slider in the trackbar (skin and control bar) the time should be displayed for easier navigation.
* shortcut for display time as a little clock in the right corner (like some tv sets)
* volume pre adjustment for every channel

[known bugs in 2.1]

* Extremely high network traffic when using multicast streaming. Maybe the reason for the problems with W-LAN.

[is already realised in 2.2 beta]

* added: adjustable delay for control-bar popup
* added: seeking with cursor-buttons in 10 seconds jumps without activating OSD
* added: logarithmic volume control
* added: new filter independent preview feature

* added: integration of the Windows scheduler
* added: hardware independent channel scanner
* added: graphical EPG with timeline
* added: dynamically updated channel list via plugin
* added: pan & scan keyboard settings like in Radlight or BSPlayer (+, - in small increments)
* modified: When using the DVBViewer as mediaplayer, the last directory should be remembered when selecting "open".
* modified: Clicking the icon for teletext and EPG both opens and closes those windows.
* removed: priority settings "idle" and "real time"
* fixed subtitle/teletext bug on BBC and other channels
* fixed (must be set to automatic): The OSD teletext doesn't feature vowel mutations ("Umlaute").
* fixed: When selecting "open" in the DVBViewer menu but then "cancel" you won't return to the broadcast but go to the radio mode.
* fixed: The DVBViewer source-filter doesn't work when there's no other other audio decoder than the MPEG audio decoder registered.
* fixed: You can't open DVD files on hard disk with the OSD because .ifo extensions are filtered.
* fixed: When exporting a channel list as .ini file, the AC3 settings aren't stored correctly.
* fixed: Problem when adjusting a starting time of 00.00h in the video-recorder.
* fixed (for VMR): The context menu doesn't open directly at the mouse pointer but at least 20 pixels besides.
* fixed: The position of the radio skin isn't saved.
* fixed: Wake-up after suspend.
* fixed: Timeshift.ts is being deleted instead of "keep timeshift file" when using the control bar.
* fixed/added: completely rewritten teletext routines
* fixed: Although "pause" is assigned to the space-bar the video is stopped and not paused when playing back media files.
* fixed: negative values are not possible for EPG time zone
* fixed: settings for contrast, brightness and saturation are not correctly remembered.
* fixed: HTML EPG problem (wrong characters)
* fixed: Seeking via the cursor buttons during timeshift playback only works as long as the recording continues.
* fixed: When using desktop-TV with skins returning to normal viewing mode is not in order, there is a normal sized DVBViewer window, but only the window, there is no skin and there are no controls
* fixed: In DVD playback only the progress bar in the skin works but not the one in the control bar.

[confirmed for 2.3]

* New DirectShow based OSD-mixer-filter
* dynamic PID updates
* options for setting the position of OSD elements

[scheduled for future release]

* SkyStar 4.x source-filters will be removed
