DVBViewer

We published a new version of the DVBViewer.

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 The timeshift timers are never saved into the timers.xml.

Scan window

* Fix: ATSC: Channel scan works correct now. Big thanks @antdude for testing.
* Fix: ATSC AC3 detection.
* Fix: The "updated channels" display is now reset on scan start.
* Fix: The heading in the info area did not use the default charset.
* Add: Inactive channels with entries only in the SDT can be added. You have to disable the "Active channels only" Option. Also channels with no video and audio are regarded as inactive.
* Some changes in the handling.
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.
o The new found transponders are not saved.
If you need more influence on the procedure please use transedit.

* Change: VCR: You can activate auto splitting of a recording if the PMT data changes while it is running. It's the same mechanism like the channel auto update.
* Change: If the selected/default recording folder is not found the DVBViewer tries all folders in the recording folder list and takes the first one, which can be used. If no folder was found the default user/public video folder is used.
* Fix: Recordings without EPG were not written to the database.

DVBSubtitles

* Add: Added support for plain text DVB Subtitles. Thanks @Elber for providing samples
* Add: Added support for 2 bit DVB Subtitles. Thanks @Elber for providing samples

Non Ansi Charset support

* Add: The control popup (the one you get if you move the mouse to the bottom of the DVBViewer window) supports Unicode EPG data (for now only Chinese EPG is unicode).
* Add: The EPG hint shown in the favorites menu if hovering over a favorite entry supports Unicode EPG.
* Change: Screenshot function: The screenshot function now handles Unicode filenames (for channel names and EPG with non Ansi chars).
* Change: Channel list: The channel names are now shown with a charset based on the user locales. Thanks @ter9999.
* Change: Chinese EPG should show now correctly everywhere (OSD/EPG window). Big Thanks @ter9999 for testing. These changes should also affect other non latin based languages.
* Several more preparations for Unicode support

Popup Channellist

* Fix: Popup channel list did not focus the correct channel sometimes.
* Add: The popup channel list gets now the focus as soon as it pops up (only if the main window has the focus.
* Fix: The Popup channel list closes if you leave the window to the right side.
* Fix: Removed the entries "channel list editor" and "last channel" from the popup channel list context menu.

EPG Parsing

* Change: ATSC: EPG scanner and parser completely rewritten. You do need a DVB card which supports "Open whole transponder" and the option must be enabled in the hardware options. Big thanks @antdude for testing.
* Change: (EIT) EPG parser: optimized the detection of already processed tables.
* Change: (EIT) EPG Processing: Fixup for Anixe, RTL and SuperRTL EPG. The viewer tries to map some info from the description to the subtitle.
* Fix: Disabling the EPG processing could lead to faulty recording names.
* Reworked: The internal EPG handling has been further reworked to optimize the multi language/entry handling.

Options

* Removed: OSD options: removed "Semitransparent" setting.
* Add: TV + Radio options: Added a option to enable/disable the new MiniEPG behavior.
* Add: Recording options: Added an option to enable auto split on PMT data change.

Hardware

* Fix: Some fixes for Unicable support.
* Fix: Fixes for Skystar 2 DiseqC WDM.
* Change: CAM support for Twinhan and KNC1 based cards. Some broadcasters send contradicting CA_Info descriptors on program and ES level (Hotbird the polish TVN channels as example), which some CAMs do not handle very well. Now the CA_PMT ignores the descriptors on the ES level if program level descriptors are present.
* Add: Added support for Technisat Cablestar Combo HD CI, a DVB-T/DVB-C Hybrid device.
* Add: Experimental enhanced DiseqC (without rotor support!) and Unicable support for the Skystar 2 by griga.

Vista support

* Add: If the PC goes into the away mode the graph of the main playback is shutdown and the Viewer tells the system it can go to sleep, if wants needs to.
* Add: The DVBViewer sets now the away mode when it is recording.
* Change: Several changes to make the away mode work if the DVBViewer and the recording service are on the same PC. The hibernate and Shutdown action in the DVBViewer are mapped to the Standby action if the recording service is recording. This puts the PC into the away mode. (Needs the current version of the recording service)

General

Please report if you have one of the mentioned cards and experience problems with this new handling.
* Fix: ATSC AC3 detection. Some broadcaster use a wrong formated registration descriptor for the AC3 Audio ES causing the DVBViewer not to recognize it as an audio stream.


DVBViewer 4.1, update

The new version has been released.
The following things are new:

Options

* Change: Adding a 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.

Media Playback

* Change: VODSource. Several improvements and extensions. Now you can play mp3 and aac streams via the VODSource. If possible all usable metadata is extracted from the streams.
* Change: Playback of streams: Several improvements on playback of streams.
o Detection of embedded Shoutcast or ASX playlists in asx playlists (asx V.1 and V.3).
o Detailed media description of the streams (if possible) (resolution, bitrate etc.). Works also with the ASF Reader.
o ASF Reader: If possible all usable metadata from the stream is read. Depends on the stream provider if there are any.
* Fix: VODSource: Shoutcast should work again.
* Fix: Problems with ASF Playback and Vista.
* Reworked: Daemon tools support reworked. Now the completion of the unmount command is detected and then the mount command is send.
* Reworked: DVD Handling renovated. The selection between multiple DVD drives works now. Support for Blueray and HDDVD images and folders rips in the OSD and via drag'n'drop.
* Removed: DVD Playback and Fileplayback without DVBSource now don't support custom graph files anymore.
* Add: Seamless playback of (unencrypted) Blu-ray disks.
* Reworked: Main movie detection of (unencrypted) Blu-ray disks.
* Add: HDDVD support improved.
* Update: Several internal optimization for the playback detection by griga.
* Fix: Fixed detection for problematic AC3 streams.
* Fix: Media playback with a not in the DVBViewer predefined aspect ratio caused a no update of the frame rate in the #Datatags.
* Fix: Playback issues with Kathrain trp recordings.
* Fix: Potential problem with the format detection corrected, several optimization (by griga).


Renderer

* 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 → 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.

o New menu in the OSD: OSD main menu → system → 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
N
FFFF

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
6
1980

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 → 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

* 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.

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.

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.

* 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!
