- Add: Added IAccessible Interface to all Treeviews. This time it actually works. wink.gif Might be helpful for screenreaders.
- Update: Language: Small corrections to the deutsch.lng.
- Update: Language: updated suomi.lng thanks @sf100 and @IRa.
- Change: Autochannel update: completly reworked. Should be activated in options -> TV + Radio. Does add new Audiochannels automatically.
- Add: Cable devices/Channel Scanner: Added some additional default frequencies für german cable users (for blindscan).
- 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
Version BETA 3.6.4.12Und ja, die Version BETA 3.6.4.12 ist die letzte.
----------------------
- Fix: Scanner window: update scan with activated "update channel names" messed up the main/subchannel relationship.

- Fix: EPG/Timeline: Send to PVR didn't work.
- Fix: EPG/What's now: Under rare circumstances a crash could happen when starting a recording with no channel tuned.
- Fix: EPG-Details: Fix wrong colorcoding when subtitle contained an illegal character.
- Change: Channeleditor: Optimized handling while deleting. The next found node now gets the focus after deletion.
- Fix: all channellists: Showed them how to count their channels correctly. wink.gif
- Fix: Channel editor: Renaming the main channel messed up the subchannel display.
- Fix: Channel editor: Renaming a Subchannel was not reflected in the tree.
- Add: EPG-TVGuide: Enter tunes the channel belonging to the currently selected entry.

* 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!
Echt? Bei mir waren die Favos wech....naja, wenn's Wetter wieder schlechter wird, kann ich es ja nochmal ausprobieren.. ;Dwo die einstellungen gespeichert werden, kannst du bei der installation wählen:
Erstes kleines minus bei 3.8: Bei mir dauert der Kanalwechsel jetzt (nicht gestoppt) etwas länger. Kann das jemand bestätigen oder ist's nur bei mir so?wär mir persönlich nicht aufgefallen.
Also die Umschaltzeiten sind bei mir auch minimal länger, schätze so 3 Sekunden.Yep! Habe zwar vorher nicht mit Stopuhr gemessen, aber so in der Art ist's bei mir auch.

Wahnsinn. Die werden nie müde. Und das für 15€ :-) Überleg mir langsam, für meinen zweit-PC ne eigene Lizenz zu holen. Das Geld hätten die verdient. Wenn ich mir überlege, welche Welten zwischen Version 3.2.6, mit der ich angefangen habe, und der 3.9.0.0 liegen...naja, ich hab zwar jez die änderungsliste nicht so im kopf, aber mir kam's eher so vor, als ob hauptsächlich die media-center features weiter entwickelt würden. nichts desto trotz sehe ich auch die 15€ als extrem gut angelegt :)
Wahnsinn. Die werden nie müde. Und das für 15€ :-) Überleg mir langsam, für meinen zweit-PC ne eigene Lizenz zu holen.
Zu der im changelog beschriebenen Neuen Kanalfilter funktion 'Can tune' fällt mir nichts ein. Null Effekt und ich schau mir nicht über 3000 Kanäle auf vorher/nachher an, wenn alle die, die ich anklicken würde auch gehen!
Bei mir steht übrigens bei 'Einstellungen, Optionen, Allgemein' als Version die 3.8.1.
Ist das normal (habe in der DVBV Community die Diskussion noch nicht verfolgt)?
Habe auch einfach 'drübergebügelt'.
Hallo Zusammen,
ich habe drei kurze Fragen.
1. Warum kommt der DVBViewer bei DVD's nicht ohne den AC3 Filter aus?
Hintergrund: Ohne den AC3 Filter hat man im DVBViewer bei DVD's und AC3 Sendern keinen Sound. Mit AC3 Filter funktioniert es zwar, aber die gesammte Lautstärke ist leiser als wenn man den Sender normal, mit 2.0 anschaut. Bei anderen Playern (z. B. Windows Media Player) brauch man für die Wiedergabe von DVD's auch kein AC3 Filter.
...
Bedanke mich im Voraus für jede Antwort!
@_Immer_Intl_
Auch wenn man im AC3 Filter alles richtig einstellt kommt man leider nicht auf die Lautstärke als wenn es eine 2.0 Aufnahme wäre.

Please check your favorites and timers if you change the channel names!
New: The Audio track per channel, Volume per channel and EPG-settings (EIT, intern, extern) are no longer stored in the database. Instead it is stored in the channels.dat.
On first start the old settings are converted and the database tables removed. The handling for the users does not change.

If it is plugged in again, it will marked as available and is used if required.
To make this work, the device has to be in the hardware list of the DVBViewer.
ATTENTION: Avoid removing devices while in use for recording/liveTV. Some drivers can cause the system and the DVBViewer to crash (fireDTV (firewire) is quite unforgiving ).
New: If a error occurs while trying to open a device, the device is ignored and the viewer will try to find another fitting device.
New: If a device can not be opened/started (because it is used by another software) the DVBViewer tries to find another usable device.

Does use DXVA if possible and does handle the OSD the "normal" way (means the OSD is not limited to the video area).
New: Recordings: New option "Adjust PAT/PMT".
If activated this options causes the DVBviewer to generate a PAT and PMT in TS recordings, which does reflect the present streams.
The PAT only contains the recorded service and the PMT only the recorded ES Streams.
This option may help with playback hardware/software which is not able to cope with the unchanged Tables of a TS.

DVBViewer Pro 4.0
===================
Only for update installations:
Please do a rescan of your dvb devices (either by deleting the hardware.xml or by doing a manual rescan in the hardware options of the DVBViewer)!
Hardware
* New: USB CI (Hauppauge/Terratec) support completely rewritten: does work now with every DVB device. Thanks @Terratec for their support.
Activate it in the hardware options by first selecting the DVB device and then the external CI.
* Change: BDA direct tuning mode: In direct tuning mode an internal network provider is now used instead the MS NP. This will help with the $FFFFFFF Error on some x64 Vista systems.
If this doesn't work for you, you can force the use of the old MS NP method by adding
QUELLTEXT
<entry name="useMSNP">1</entry>
to the device entry in the hardware.xml.

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 (Blue Ray-fileformat) with the DVBViewer Filter (Version 3.2.0+), including all for Blue Ray 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.

* Fix: Shoutcast and other streaming sources now show meaningful audio data.
* Fix: LastFM skip does work now.
...mal wieder viel schneller als ich dachte!...und Du hast es wieder mal schneller installiert als der Wind! Complimenti!
Unter Direct X verbergen sich jetzt jeweils 2 getrennte Menues für Video und Audio, die auch jeweils für Video/Audio A & B getrennte Einstellmöglichkeiten bieten. Für was das gut sein soll?
* 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:

MPEG2 (MPEG2 Video)
DVBSource (DVBViewer Filter is used)

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.
Version 4.0.1.0 Beta
expires 14.2.2009
----------------------
* New: Complete rewriten DiSEqC 1.1 / 1.2 support (only for DVB-S devices allowing to send DiSEqC raw commands), which means, support for motorized dishes and cascaded DiSEqC elements (uncommitted switches, positioner behind a switch). All thanks to griga.
* New: DiSEqC Editor ("DiSEqC expert mode"). Allows to assign user-defined DiSEqC command sequences to a satellite position - as you will see - much more conveniently than with the DiSEqC Editor of DVBViewer Pro 4.0.0.0 and earlier versions.
* Removed: Positioner Console, please use transedit 3.27+ for this. it is much better suited.
* Fix: The COM Interface gave a wrong value for the stereo audiomode.
* Add: EPG-Parser: Added slv as language identifier.
* Change: Removed check for driver supports color changes.
* Fix: Grigas fix for problematic AC3 streams detection.
* Add: Support for Pinnacle PCTV 380e/510e DVB-C hybrid.
* Change: Brightness default is now set according to the used renderer. Should cure the Overlay too dark problems. Please reset the brightness value to default.
* Fix: Problems with 120 dpi in some options windows.
* Fix: OSD Media windows: Not existing network shares (UNC paths) do not cause any blocking anymore on first opening of the window.
For this the support for the folder.jpg files has been removed for all UNC Path shares in the root view.
* Fix: Media playback with a not in the DVBViewer predefined aspectratio cause a no update of the framerate in the #Datatags.
* Change: Adding new virtual DVB device can be done in the hardware options window via the "+" button.
The data now is saved to the network.xml instead of the usermode.ini. Existing data will be taken into account.
* Update: Updated language files.
DVBServer:
----------
* Change: Adding new virtual DVB device can be done in the hardware options windows via the "+" button.
The data now is saved to the network.xml instead of the usermode.ini. Existing data will be taken into account.
* Add: Support for the new DiseqC handling.
Version 4.0.1.10 BETA
expires 12.03.2009
* Add: Tweaks: MinVolume in case you can hear something even if muted, lower this value.
* Fix: Timers: minimal free disc space was not taken correctly into account if bigger than 2 GB.
* Add: Hardware: Support for Turbosight clones.
* Add: Hardware: Support for TerraTex XE MK II clones.
* Fix: EVR: A Black box stays on the screen fixed.
* Fix: TT diseqC fix from Griga.
* Add: Support for Closed Captions of dish network.
* Fix: Premiere EPG: The EPG could fill up the whole memory if the channel premiere direct was tuned for a long time.
* Add: Options: Service Options dialog. IMPORTANT: This page is still under heavy development!
* Add: Support for several Recording Service functions / communication.
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. There is ATM no feedback and you can't edit or see the timers in the DVBViewer directly.
You can also create manual timers in the recorder window which are send to the service.
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. And you have to setup this function in the Service according to it's readme_svc.
Don't use this function with a local DVBViewer only with remote clients!
Background: A real streaming of recordings from the service would clash with the playback functions of the viewer. A major rewrite would be needed, which is too much ATM.
So for now I choose the easy way and use network shares to realize the streaming in a local network. For this the recordings database of the service needs to be setup in a way that it uses UNC paths to the recording folders instead of local paths. For this and for the client access the access rights have to be configured correctly, which can be a little complicated and done wrong could result in no recordings can be done by the service.
Version 4.0.1.20 BETA
expires 22.03.2009
* Fix: DVB-Subtitles: fixed wrongly shown pixels.
* 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.
* Add: Recordings list from the service: recordings now can be deleted. Remember this does also delete the real file not only the database entry (same behavior like in the web interface).
* Fix: Tune only timers (EPG Window → prebook) are not send to the service anymore.
* Add: If the DVBViewer is running after Standby or Hibernate, it refreshes it's EPG from the service.
* Add: Service timer lists can be shown and edited. You can enable this in options → service options.
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 mapped not accepted and mapped to the default value of the service.
Notice: Instant timers are handled by the DVBViewer not by the Recording service.
Version 4.0.1.25 BETA
expires 28.03.2009
* Fix: - Hybrid tuner handling: Fixed some issues.
* Fix: Recorder window: fixed a typo introduced in the last version, which caused the window being placed at the top of the screen.
* Add: Extended the controlling of the Recording service (V. 1.4.7.65+).
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).

Würde bitte jeder, der dieses Problem hat, die Setup.exe nochmal herunterladen!
Scheinbar akzeptiert der Server auch Nutzernamen, die nicht wirklich korrekt sind, da sie Leerzeichen am Ende enthalten. Das hat einiges durcheinander gebracht und im Endeffekt dazu geführt, dass der DVBViewer diese Meldung brachte.
Der erste tip, um das problem hoffentlich zu umgehen:
Optionen -> Aussehen -> No Skin. Danach den Viewer neu starten.
Da gibt es offensichtlich einen programmfehler. Eine kleine Änderung gepaart mit einem dezenten tippfehler mit ekeliger wirkung.
Wir testen weiter und wir legen dann ein hotfix nach.
Version 4.2.0.10 BETA
expires 20.07.2009
* Fix: ATSC: Channel scan works correct now. Big thanks @antdude for testing.
* 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.
* Add: Unicode support. 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: Unicode support. The EPG hint shown in the favorites menu if hovering over a favorite entry supports Unicode EPG.
* Removed: OSD options: removed "Semitransparent" setting.
* Add: OSD: Delete bookmark show a confirmation request.

* Fix: Channel auto update: Fixed several problems and bugs (only the main playback was affected).
* Fix: EPG window: Fixed display problems with Unicode EPG in the TVGuide and timeline.
* Add: Raw DiseqC support for KNC1 cards. You must use the dll enclosed in the beta release.
Attention: The DLL is NOT compatible with the DVBViewer Pro release version or the DVBViewer Recording Service!
* Add: The popup channel list gets now the focus as soon as it pops up (only if the main window has the focus.
* Add: DVBSubtitles: Added support for plain text DVB Subtitles. Thanks @Elber for providing samples
* Add: DVBSubtitles: Added support for 2 bit DVB Subtitles. Thanks @Elber for providing samples
* Change: Screenshot function: The screenshot function now handles Unicode filenames (for channel names and EPG with non Ansi chars).

# 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:Code: [Auswählen]#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.Code: [Auswählen]#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:Code: [Auswählen]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:Code: [Auswählen]#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)

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
o use the hardware to composite and render the output.
o 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 work with Vista and windows 7.
o Screenshots are not possible (but ALT + Print works).
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.
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.

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.

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 → 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 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 → "1" and if the PiP is closed either an empty value or "0".

* Add: KeyTool: From this version on a new protection system has been integrated. This will be explained in a separate document.
DVBServer
* Hardware handling up to date with the DVBViewer.
Version 4.5 RC2 is in the above mentioned membersarea.
This version fixes smaller issues with the installer, the dvbserver and the DVBViewer.
One fix is quite important: we found a problem in the miniEPG handling, which caused a very high CPU peak for several seconds after switching channels.
We had to remove the channelscanning in the setup wizard of the DVBViewer, it caused severe problems in the new version. Please use the normal scan windows in the DVBViewer.

* 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.
* 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 → “1” and if the PiP is closed either an empty value or “0”.

General
Change: Daylight saving changes/EPG: If the timezone is set to "automatically" the system will calculate the local time of the EPG entries depending on the date with the help of special windows functions.
This should fix most problems with day light saving changes because now the EPG always has the "correct" time.
Timer in the night of the change may have to be adjusted manually.
Fix: Adjust PAT/PMT: If a recording was started before the PAT contained the fitting PMT the PAT/PMT were not correctly adjusted and written.
Fix: OSD/Weather: The weather page is working again. ATTENTION: You have to setup your location in the weather options again!

Fix: VOD filter does no longer accept ms-asf streams, since they can not work
Fix: Recordings: Splitted recording weren't correctly deleted.
Fix: Options: The custom renderer check box wasn't correctly synchronized between the DVD and DirectX options pages.
Fix: Main window: Maximize via Aero snap for Vista/Win 7 deactivated.
Fix: File playback: The bit rate in the status bar wasn't updated correctly for mp3 files.
Fix: Rec Stats Window: The recordings count is now updated immediately after deleting a recording.
Change: Main window: Best window size: For 4:3 monitors the height is adjusted (as before), for non 4:3 monitors the width is now adjusted to fit the window with the TV picture. You can disable the new adjustment via tweak -> see tweaker.exe.
Change: DirectX options: Audio/Video auto detection changes in the DirectX options page now trigger a rebuild graph.
Add: DVD Playback/Presets: It is possible to define a DVD navigator other than the MS DVD navigator in the presets for DVD playback.
Change: Windows: Added high res explorer icons (Vista/Win 7) for the DVBViewer Pro and the setup programs.
Fix: Startup: fixed the issues with the "synzip" messageboxes on program start.
Fix: RDS Parser: Griga fixed a problem in the RDS parser.
Fix: Channel Scan: Griga fixed several potential problems in the channel scanner.
Fix: COM Interface: The Timer list didn't take the remote timers of the recording service into account.
Fix: Videotext Parser: Griga fixed some small problems with the videotext parser.
Fix: Instant recording: If an instant recording is started while the DVBViewer Pro is in radio (small interface) mode, the OSD display of the instant recording menu is disabled.
Add: File Playback: The settings of the progressbar in the statusbar for file playback are now stored separately from the settings for LiveTV.
Hardware
The Hardware classes have been in parts rewritten with the help of Griga.
Please note: In case of an update some of the changes will only take effect after performing Options -> Hardware -> Detect Devices.
Enhanced: Unicable support, particularly for DVB-S/S2 devices that don't allow full Unicable compliance.
The basic requirement for Unicable support is a driver providing an interface for sending DiSEqC raw commands. This is fulfilled by all DiSEqC 1.2 capable DVB-S/S2 devices. Additionally a (known) interface for directly changing the LNB voltage (without tuning) is required. If it is not available the DVBViewer Pro now performs the necessary voltage changes by dummy tuning. However, this method slows down channel switching and may exceed the Unicable timing constraints. It is not guaranteed to work in all cases (though it works quite well with an Inverto Unicable LNB and different devices).
In case of a device that does not allow to fulfill the EN 50494 specifications properly, the hardware options page displays a warning before opening the Unicable configuration dialog. Devices regarded as fully Unicable compliant are currently: Digital Devices (above all), FireDTV, TechnoTrend and DVBSky.
Added: Unicable collision detection.
A Unicable collision occurs if two receivers try to send a ChannelChange DiSEqC command to the Unicable router at the same time. Frequency switching failure in the router results in no data arriving at all, or even worse, still data from the previous transponder (depending on the transponder parameters).
Fix: Work-around for the "Initializing the device has failed" error under Windows 7, caused by a buggy Microsoft component that tries to create registry keys without sufficient access rights.
In "Use internal Network Provider filter off" mode (see hardware settings) the DVBViewer Pro now uses the new MS Universal Network Provider filter (introduced with Vista/Windows 7), that does not show this issue. Additionally "Use internal Network Provider filter on" has become the default setting for new installations, which avoids the error as well. However, it may still occur in "Use standard interface on" mode.
Added: Pilot symbols auto-detection when receiving DVB-S2 channels resp. transponders with Hauppauge devices.
DVB-S2 tuning will now succeed with wrong Pilot Symbols settings (though it takes a bit longer).
Added: DiSEqC 1.2 support for TechniSat SkyStar eXpress HD with WDM/Network driver.
Enhanced: DiSEqC 1.2 support for TechniSat SkyStar eXpress HD and SkyStar USB HD with BDA driver. Now it also works under Windows XP.
Please note: Due to the design of the BDA DiSEqC interface for these TechniSat devices command sequences (consisting of more than one DiSEqC command) will not work. Please use the WDM/Network driver in this case.
Changed: Handling of TBS DiSEqC interfaces (since the implementation in TBS/Prof drivers is quite confusing). The DVBViewer Pro first verifies that the interface specified in the hardware database exists. If not, the DVBViewer Pro tries to auto-detect the interface.
Fix: ATSC Direct Tuning: The 1750 Hz offset is now taken into account.
Fix: Using more than one KNC One device does now work correctly.
Add: Detection of TerraTec H5 Rev. 3 devices.
Add: Detection of TT-budget S2-4100 devices.
Add: Detection of PCTV Dual Sat Pro PCI 4000i (Stargate Tuner) devices.
Add: Detection of several TBS devices.
Add: Added DiSEqC 1.2 support for Omicom devices.
Add: Added DiSEqC 1.2 support for Compro devices.
Change: TBS CI Stack update
Add: Support for CI modules from Jactec.
Change: Detection of the Pinnacle PCTV DVB-S2 Stick 460e changed from VendorID 7 to VendorID 33, otherwise DiSEqC would not work in Vista/Win 7. Users of Win XP have to change this entry back to VendorID 7 manually in the hardware.xml.
Updated: Hardware database.
Tweaker Tool
Add: The tweaker tool enables you to adjust the tweaks for the DVBViewer Pro with a quite comfortable UI. For all tweaks the tools has a check box or edit box and a short explanation. The changes can only be saved if the DVBViewer Pro is not running.
DVB Server
The DVBServer has been discontinued and will be no longer available.
Mir ist erstmals das Install-Menü für die Zusatzoptionen in's Auge gefallen. Haben sie recht nett mit Angaben zur Downloadgeschwindigkeit und der erforderlichen/abgelaufenen Zeit gemacht. Jedenfalls ist mir dieses Detail erst bei 4.9.5 aufgefallen ;)
sollte nach einem Update auf die neue DVBViewer Pro 4.9.5 Version auf jedenfall die EPG.dat des DVBViewer einmalig gelöscht werden....hatte ich auch im "Changelog" gelesen, aber schon wieder vergessen! Danke awaschko für die Erinnerung! :)
Taskleiste verschwindet nach Umschalten von Vollbild auf Fenstermodus (schwarzer Balken).Danke awaschko, diesen Effekt konnte ich unter Vista32 aber nicht nachvollziehen ???
Und - bei mir wie immer - wird dann erstmal ein neuer Senderscan fällig.
Und am Ende des Setups den Haken rausnehmen für den Start des Wizards (oder hieß es Assistenten?). Dann blieben Senderliste, Favoriten usw. hier jedesmal erhalten und die neue Version ist sofort verwendbar.Ah, danke Harald, wieder was gelernt. Ich hab' nämlich den Assistenten angelassen, seltsamerweise waren meine Favoriten und der 2 Wochen alte scan noch da, aber der click auf Sender brachte kein Bild, nix, nada, niente. Erst der Neuscan brachte die Bilder zum Laufen. Werd's mir merken :)
Fix: Custom Renderer: Accessing the DVD menu with the mouse now works with custom EVR and VMR9.
Fix: Main Window: Hiding the symbols/status/menu bar changed the aspect ratio of the playback.
Fix: File/Timeshift Playback: Fixed problems with playback from file and UAC.
Fix: Options -> Mosaic Preview: After changing the decoder the DVBViewer had to be restarted for the change to take effect. Now you only need to deactivate and reactivate the mosaic preview (if it is active).
Improved: Mosaic Preview: Compatibility improvements with video decoders and DXVA. Image quality slightly improved and the change frequency increased.
Fix: Mosaic Preview: Fixed a bug in the mosaic preview which could crash the DVBViewer under certain circumstances.
Change: Writing of the info file of recordings has been optimized.
Fix: EPG: The Chinese charset Big5 was incorrectly converted.
Fix: Start: Script error message on startup fixed.
Change: Channels.dat: While reading the channels.dat there now is a check if the transponder frequency is in khz and it will be accordingly adjusted.
Change: Changed the initialization of the D3D devices of the custom renderers a little bit to prevent problems on some systems after standby.
Fix: Recordings: Refreshing the recording data from the file info had problems with summer/winter time calculations.
Fix: BDA-Devices - KNC One: The KNC DLL was initialized wrongly.
Add: DVBViewer Pro Update Notice: If a new DVBViewer Version is available a message will be displayed in the menu -> Help -> Info window and in OSD -> System -> Info.
Fix: OSD/Videos: If more than one DVD drive existed the title of a previous DVD drive was copied to the following empty DVD drives.
Change: DVD Options: The custom renderer check box has been removed. This setting can only be changed on the DirectX options page.
Fix: VCR: Fixed a potential overflow in "Adjust PAT/PMT" function.
Fix Channel Editor: The audio language of an subchannel couldn't be changed.
Fix: Hardware: Detection of dLAN devices corrected.
Fix: Unicast Devices: Channel search with unicast devices now works for "slow tuning" DVB hardware in the Recording Service.
Fix: Input Options: Fixed multiple warning message boxes were shown if the remote had auto repeat.
Change: Recordings: Remove filler data for H264 now defaults to active.
Change: Timeshift: Remove filler data for H264 now defaults to active.
Change: Main Window: If there is no playback active at all, the status bar now shows "No Playback" instead of "Standby".
Change: Language Files: Translations for the weather forecast are now prefixed by "weather.".
Removed: Language Files: Video Recorder Plugin removed from the language files and the defaults.
Update: Updated to Version 3.6.2 of the DVBSource filter.

Change: Update of the internal ICS library. The DVBViewer now uses the same version as the Recording Service.
Change: Unicast Devices: Rewritten in parts. Special care has been taken of the timing of the tuning process. The Unicast device now blocks the DVBViewer for the duration of the tuning the same way a real DVB Device would block. Switching frequencies is much more stable that way.
Fix: The channel list window size can be changed with 125% font size.
Fix: Display problem with 125% font size fixed. All text fields and other elements are now readable.
Fix: BDA Devices: Fixed DiSEqC/Unicable problems with some devices and Windows XP.

RTSP Network Devices
A new virtual network device has been added. The SAT>IP / RTSP Devices is compatible with the SAT>IP protocol by SES and can be used with compatible Servers. Additionally the devices support the DVB>IP extension of the Recording Service.
A RTSP Device normally consists of three parts
The RTSP part which is a TCP protocol similar to Http. This part is the controlling instance of the device and send all commands to the server.
The RTP part which is UDP based and responsible for the TS streaming. RTP always uses even port numbers.
The RTCP part which is UDP based and used for status messages (signal quality etc).
The RTCP part always uses the RTP port + 1.
You can add RTSP devices via the RS Connection wizard or manually with the add device (+) button on the hardware options page.
The setup of these manually added devices is quite simple.
The Servers list presents all found SAT>IP Servers. If it's empty check if the firewall allows UPnP packets. SAT>IP uses UPnP (SSDP) to announce the server.
If you select a server the RTSP Server address and port are automatically entered.
You can enter a Description for the device in the name field.
Normally you do not need to change the suggested RTP Settings UDP Ports. The RTSP device selects automatically the needed free ports from the port range.
The Default button resets the UDP Ports to the default port range.
If the selected Server is a DVBViewer Recording Service you can additionally select the "Use TCP instead UDP", which switches the RTP and RTCP part to TCP.
It is generally discouraged to use this option. The overhead of UDP is way lower than TCP and UDP works in a local LAN very efficient.
Instant Recordings
Instant Recordings are now delegated to the Recording Service.
Send timer to Recording Service must be active.
The instant recording is only recognized for the runtime of the DVBViewer client. If you close the DVBViewer, it will not recognize the recording as an instant recording anymore.
If you change the end time of the instant recording (DVBViewer or RS webinterface), it will be converted to a normal recording.
If you close the DVBViewer a warning will be shown and you can either stop the instant recording or let it continue after the DVBViewer is closed.
Internal Task Scheduler
The internal task scheduler uses the Windows Task Scheduler to automatically wake up the PC for timer recordings from standby / sleep mode and / or to start the DVBViewer Pro.
The task scheduler can be activated via Options -> Extended -> "Use Microsoft Task Scheduler". If the external DVB Task Scheduler (Scheduler.exe) is found in the DVBViewer Pro program folder, it will be used, otherwise the internal task scheduler is used.
Please note: The task scheduler is not used if the timers are send to the Recording service.
If the internal task scheduler is used, Options -> Extended -> Scheduler Settings opens the scheduler dialog with the following settings:
Execute as: Windows User account to run the DVBViewer Pro.
Password: Password of the user account.
Maximum number of scheduled tasks (default 3): Determines how many timers the DVBViewer Pro adds in advance to the Windows Task Scheduler. They are updated automatically each time the DVBViewer Pro starts and any time the timers are changed.
Additional lead time in minutes: Determines how many minutes before an upcoming recording the PC is woken / DVBViewer Pro is started.
Command line parameters: Determines the command line parameters the Windows Task Scheduler passes to the DVBViewer Pro at startup.
Please note: It is required that the Windows Task Scheduler service is running. It starts the DVBViewer Pro only if the user is logged into their account. A user account locked by the welcome screen is not an obstacle, but the account must already be active by prior log in.

Changed: ISDB Subtitles (統合ディジタル放送サービス): A complete rewrite which is 100% compatible to the specification and tested with Brazilian and Japanese subtitles.
Change: ATSC Closed Captions: Closed captioning is the process of displaying text on a television, video screen or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information to individuals who wish to access it. It is used mainly in North America and Canada and typically show a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs.
Change: DVB Subtitles: Also completely rewritten and closer to the specification (EN 300 743)
Add: Better ATSC Subtitle Detection: ATSC transmissions can have up to 4 channels which are now detected properly.
Add: Subtitle Detection: Subtitles are detected in transmissions/recordings and listed resp. delisted if they (dis)appear.
Simple Recording Service Connection Wizard
A Simple Recording Service Connection Wizard has been added which can be accesses via main menu → help → Rec. Service Wizard.
Notice: The wizard will ignore all existing settings for the RS connection.
On the first page you have to select an existing RS, enter the user name and password and click the "Test" button, only if the test is successful you can continue with "Next".
On the second page you can adjust the different options.
If the RS is on the same PC as the DVBViewer the download channel- and favorites list is disabled.
On the third page the wizard will list all needed/possible RTSP Devices. You can deselect devices which will be ignored.
The list will only offer two RTSP devices per tuner type, even if your server offers more devices.
If the RS is on the same PC as the DVBViewer, an option for disabling all local (real) DVB devices in the DVBViewer is available.
If you close the wizard with "Finish" the following things happen:
The RS options are saved, existing data will be overridden.
All Unicast Devices and if needed all local DVB devices are disabled.
All selected RTSP devices are created with the needed options and settings overriding the existing RTSP devices.
If selected the EPG, channel, timer, favorites lists etc. are downloaded (and loaded).Add: Support for LibAACS. You should be able to play Bluray Discs without using third party tools inside the DVBViewer. Attention: You need a working build of LibAACS.

Instant Recordings are now delegated to the Recording Service.
Send timer to Recording Service must be active.
The instant recording is only recognized for the runtime of the DVBViewer client. If you close the DVBViewer, it will not recognize the recording as an instant recording anymore.
If you change the end time of the instant recording (DVBViewer or RS webinterface), it will be converted to a normal recording.
If you close the DVBViewer a warning will be shown and you can either stop the instant recording or let it continue after the DVBViewer is closed.
Internal Task Scheduler
The internal task scheduler uses the Windows Task Scheduler to automatically wake up the PC for timer recordings from standby / sleep mode and / or to start the DVBViewer Pro.
The task scheduler can be activated via Options -> Extended -> “Use Microsoft Task Scheduler”. If the external DVB Task Scheduler (Scheduler.exe) is found in the DVBViewer Pro program folder, it will be used, otherwise the internal task scheduler is used.
Please note: The task scheduler is not used if the timers are send to the Recording service.
If the internal task scheduler is used, Options -> Extended -> Scheduler Settings opens the scheduler dialog with the following settings:
Execute as: Windows User account to run the DVBViewer Pro.
Password: Password of the user account.
Maximum number of scheduled tasks (default 3): Determines how many timers the DVBViewer Pro adds in advance to the Windows Task Scheduler. They are updated automatically each time the DVBViewer Pro starts and any time the timers are changed.
Additional lead time in minutes: Determines how many minutes before an upcoming recording the PC is woken / DVBViewer Pro is started.
Command line parameters: Determines the command line parameters the Windows Task Scheduler passes to the DVBViewer Pro at startup.
Please note: It is required that the Windows Task Scheduler service is running. It starts the DVBViewer Pro only if the user is logged into their account. A user account locked by the welcome screen is not an obstacle, but the account must already be active by prior log in.

Update: DVBSource filter 3.7.
Channel Logos
It is now possible to assign a logo to a channel with the help of the "channellogos.ini" file. The DVBViewer first checks if an entry for a channel is found in this file. If it isn't found it tries the old method (guessing).
The format of the channellogos.ini file is quite simple: EPGChannelID
c={Channelname} (UTF-8 encoded)
logo={LogoFilename}
The “c=” entry exists for an improved readability the program just ignores it.
If a logo can't be found or doesn't exist it is marked with logo=-
This avoids repeating and failing the search over and over again.

Change: Browser: Enhanced default browser detection by using a new method (applies to EPG Internet search function and teletext URLs). A per-user browser selection now takes preference over global Windows settings.
Change: Database: dbconvert.exe isn't launched automatically anymore when DVBViewer is launched (only required when updating from DVBViewer Pro 4.3 or earlier, has to be performed manually now for converting the database to the new format).
Change: Teletext-Window: Start page input field for teletext search function removed (the start page can be selected directly as well).
Fix: Teletext-Window: The "Match whole word" option for the teletext search function was reversed (previously unchecked = whole word, now checked = whole word).
Fix: Setup: The setup.xml was written twice when DVBViewer was closed, causing the setup.bak to be a copy of the current instead of the previous setup.

Fix: Hardware Options: Canceling OK/Apply due to an ongoing recording caused a memory leak and possibly access violations.
Fix: Hardware Options: Useless "Rebuild Graph" on file playback after OK/Apply removed.
Add: Hardware Options: "Last Channel" is performed automatically if OK/Apply interrupts TV/Radio playback.
Fix: CI/CAM: Dynamic PMT changes of scrambled channels didn't work with Digital Devices cards
Fix: RTSP Device: A longer lasting RTSP tuning process could let the SAT>IP server stop the stream for other active RTSP devices in the same application because „still alive” messages were sent too late.
Fix: RTSP Device: Channel redirection didn't work as intended and caused an RTSP device to block for some time (only applies if the Recording Server is the RTSP server).

Changelog DVBViewer Pro 5.3.0
Main Menu
Change: Menus: General restructuring of the DVBViewer Main Menu. Some menus and menu items were renamed and /or moved to another location. A new Playback Menu was added. The upper part of the Context Menu that appears after right-clicking the main window now exactly mirrors the main menu structure.
Change: Main Menu: Former DVBViewer Menu renamed to TV/Radio. All items that are not TV/Radio related (like "Open Media File") were moved to the new Playback Menu (see below).
Change: Main Menu: Former Channel Menu renamed to Favourites. It only contains favourites now (if present). Other items like "Channel List", "Channel Editor" etc.were moved to the TV/Radio Menu (see above), the Channel Auto Update option to Settings -> Options -> TV/Radio.
Add: Main Menu: New Playback Menu containing playback-related items formerly residing in the DVBViewer Menu and other locations.
Change: Main Menu: DVD submenu removed. Items like "Stop", "Fast Forward", "Next" etc. are now available in the new Playback Menu and also apply to other playback types, not to DVD only.
Change: Main Menu: Playlist Submenu removed, Playlist menu item moved to the new Playback Menu, where it directly opens the Playlist Window. Its toolbar and context menu provide all functions of the former Playlist Submenu.
Change: Main Menu: "Close Graph" moved from View Menu to Playback Menu and renamed to the more comprehensible "Playback Off". The function now works as a toggle. If playback is already switched off, DVBViewer resumes playback of the last channel or file.
Change: Main Menu: "Rebuild Graph" moved from the View Menu to the Playback Menu and renamed to the more comprehensible "Rebuild Playback".
Add: Main Menu: Video Playback Off/On switch in the Playback Menu. Only applies to TV/Radio and file playback with DVBViewer Filter. Allows to disable video playback without stopping audio.
Change: Main Menu: View Menu reduced to user interface related items, thus conforming to the Windows standard. Playback related items were moved to the new Playback Menu (see above), TV/Radio related items like "Picture in Picture", "Mosaic View" and "CAM Menu" to the TV/Radio Menu. The Filters Submenu is now available in the Settings Menu.
Change: Main Menu: View -> Menu Bar and View -> Title Bar items reversed resp. renamed from Hide... to Show... for unification. The actions in the file actions.ini were renamed accordingly (ShowMenu, ShowTitlebar). The action numbers remained unchanged.
Fix: Main Menu: The View -> Show Titlebar setting was not saved when closing DVBViewer.
Fix: Main Menu: If the Recording Service reported an available CI module, the "CAM Menu" menu item was enabled for RTSP devices, though they do not provide such a menu.
Change: Main Menu: Playrate Submenu (only visible on playback without DVBViewer Filter) moved from the Settings Menu to the new Playback Menu.
Playback
Change: Playback: Graph building code restructured. Decoders are now connected directly to the output pins of source filters / splitters, thus preventing DirectShow's "Intelligent Connect" from occasionally replacing user-configured decoders by other components.
Fix: Playback: Audio playback tended to leak memory and to crash on stop if visualizations were active.
Fix: Playback: The Play/Pause/Stop Buttons appearing in the Radio Window status bar on audio file playback (if Option -> TV & Radio -> Hide video display area is switched on) didn't work correctly.
Add: Playback: If playback is already switched off, the Stop function generally resumes playback of the last channel or file, thus working as toggle. Please note: The function of the Stop button and menu item are configurable for file playback (see below)
Change: File Playback: Options -> Movies -> Playback stop action is now performed without a preceding "Playback Off", thus enabling more possibilities than before. The default is "Stop". "None" also triggers "Stop" (for compatibility). The former default "Last Channel" works as before.
Add: TV/Radio Playback: The stop function switches playback off/on in TV/Radio mode (previously inoperable).
Fix: File Playback: TS files without PAT/PMT (e.g. TechniSat receiver recordings) couldn't be played with the DVBViewer Filter.
Add: File Playback: The condition VC-1 (for VC-1 video) can be used in Auto B Conditions and Presets.
Fix: File Playback: Useless "Press 0 to start from the beginning" OSD message on audio track changes removed (only file playback without DVBViewer Filter affected if "Options -> Movies -> Resume and ask" is switched on).
Fix: File Playback: Video postprocessor filters inserted by filtergraph presets for displaying subtitles (like ffdshow subtitle filter or VSFilter AKA DirectVobSub) were not connected to the subtitle ouput pin of a splitter filter like LAV or Haali.
Add: File Playback: DVBViewer is now able to receive multiple files as commandline parameter (previously it only used the last one). Practically this feature enables to select several media files in the Windows Explorer and drag & drop them on the DVBViewer icon, thus activating playlist playback.
Fix: Stream Playback: Several issues in the “Open URL” window, particularly concerning the history list.
Fix: Stream Playback: DVBViewer ignored the DirectX user settings when building a filter graph for audio streaming sources (e.g. internet radio).
Change: Stream Playback: ShockWave rendering removed (introduced for streaming services that were hardly ever used).
Fix: Stream Playback: Wrong handling of the "Stream" condition in Auto A/B and preset conditions.
Fix: Stream Playback: Opening variable bitrate AAC or MP3 stream URLs could block DVBViewer for several minutes.
Fix: Stream Playback: Opening Windows Media stream URLs could cause filter graph building failure.
Fix: UPnP: Selecting an entry that lists hundreds of files in the Playback -> Open UPnP -> UPnP Select window could block the application for a long time.
Fix: CD Playback: Audio CD playback with the DVBViewer Filter didn't work, forcing DVBViewer to use an external CD source filter as fallback.
Fix: Playlist: Bug when writing M3U files, including the file Playlist.m3u in the configuration folder. All extended information (#EXTINF, e.g. the title) were omitted.
Recording & Timeshift
Change: Recorder Options: "Write extended log file" checkbox removed. DVBViewer now always writes an extended recording log.
Change: Recorder Options: "Instant Recording" settings removed (still available as tweak, see Tweaker.exe).
Change: Recorder Options: "Remove H.264/MPEG2 filler data" checkboxes replaced by a single "Remove video filler data" checkbox affecting both formats.
Change: Recorder Options: "Split file after.." setting removed (still available as tweak, see Tweaker.exe).
Add: Recorder: DVBViewer automatically splits a recording into pieces slightly smaller than 4GB if the file is written to a FAT32 formatted drive. So there is no need to use the "Split file after..." option for this purpose anymore.
Change: Recorder Options: Task Scheduler settings moved from Options -> Extended to Options -> Recorder -> Recording.
Fix: Scheduler: The internal task scheduler ignored auto-repeated recordings.
Change: Timer Recordings: Special Action sub-menu removed. The Transponder Dump option is now available in the Timer Action dropdown list.
Change: Timer Recordings: The "Recording Folder and Special Action" button now has a caption ("Folder") and directly opens the Recording Folder menu. The button is disabled for external recordings (executed by the Recording Service), or if no alternative recording directories are specified (see Options → Recorder).
Fix: Timer Recordings: DVBViewer didn't receive the "Transponder Dump" setting from the Recording Service.
Change: Recording Statistics: AV Control in the Recording and Device Statistics Window removed. The options are already covered by functions like "Stop", "Video Playback Off" or "Mute".
Fix: Recording: Setting an end time in the popup menu that appears after clicking the Record Button in the Main Window (if a recording is going on) did not immediately update the end time in the Recording Statistics and Timer Recordings windows.
Change:Timeshift: In case of a channel change "Options -> Recorder -> Timeshift -> Warning on timeshift termination" only takes effect if time-shifted playback is going on, not if a channel is played live, thus avoiding a confirmation dialog on each channel change if "Options -> Recorder -> Timeshift -> Start timeshift automatically" is switched on.
Change: Timeshift: The Stop function (button or menu item) first switches timeshift off if it is active. A warning is displayed (if enabled in the options), also in case of live playback. If timeshift is already switched off the Stop function switches playback off.
Change: Timeshift: The Play function (button or menu item) resumes timeshift playback, if paused (as before). If time-shifted playback is already going on, Play jumps to the live position (new). If live playback is going on Play jumps to the last time-shifted position or the beginning of the file, if there is no last position (new).
Hardware
Fix: Hardware: Reading of an uninitialized memory area under certain circumstances when searching for a free device, yielding unpredictable results.
Fix: Hardware: Discontinuities with Digital Devices cards on overlapping recordings of the same channel.
Fix: Hardware:: Decryption of a scrambled channel by Digital Devices CI was stopped by switching to an unscrambled channel on the same transponder (thus spoiling an ongoing recording of the scrambled channel).
Fix: Hardware: Bug in DVBSky CI MMI handling (didn't take effect until now due to another bug in the DVBSky driver), unnecessary excessive logging when using DVBSky CI.
Change: Hardware: Support for Twinhan WDM drivers removed.
Fix: Hardware: Access violation if a device currently used by DVBViewer was disconnected.
Change: Hardware: A more efficient and manageable internal representation of the device list.
Fix: RTSP Device: Potential PID filter problem fixed, internal structure optimized.
Change: RTSP Device: Automatic search for an alternative server removed. If the RTSP device cannot connect to the configured server it only checks if its IP address has changed. If yes the RTSP device corrects and saves it automatically.
Change: Hardware Options: General reordering of control elements.
Change: Hardware Options: The former "+" Button (now called "Add") doesn't open a dialog window anymore, but a pop-up menu allowing to select the type of virtual network device (RTSP, Unicast, IPTV or File) that shall be inserted at the selected device list position.
Add: Hardware Options: OctopusNet CI configuration in the RTSP (SAT>IP) settings window. If the (selected) server is detected as OctopusNet, the window displays a drop-down list containing the following options
Don't use CI
Use any CI
Use CI #1
Use CI #2
for assigning a CI to the RTSP device. "Any CI" means the first available (unoccupied) CI. The last two options require OctopusNet 1.0.17 or later. Please note: An RTSP device configured for OctopusNet CI usage occupies the CI all the time while it is active, even when DVBViewer receives unscrambled streams. If the CI is not available, tuning will fail in any case. A dynamic CI allocation and deallocation "per channel" can only be achieved by using two RTSP devices assigned to OctopusNet, one configured for unscrambled channels ("No CI"), the other one for scrambled channels only. The channels must be assigned to the two RTSP devices by using different channel groups for unscrambled and scrambled channels.
Change: Hardware Options: All settings of virtual network devices are now stored in the file hardware.xml. The file network.xml isn't used for this purpose anymore. Please note: For compatibility with former versions DVBViewer reads settings from network.xml as long as they are not yet available in hardware.xml, but doesn't write to it anymore. Changed network device settings can not be read by former versions (no compatiblity in backward direction).
Change: Hardware Options: All hardware settings (including virtual network device settings) are preserved on Scan Devices, except those prescribed by the BDA hardware database for important reasons. Formerly Scan Devices reset several settings to their default.
Change: Hardware Options: Opening a dialog window with the Settings Button doesn't require to release the affected device anymore and to stop playback resp. recording.
Fix: Hardware Options: Closing the Options with Cancel didn't restore previous hardware settings. Please note: Even the results of "Scan Devices" or changes in a dialog windows opened with the Settings Button are now discarded on Cancel!
Fix: Hardware Options: Connecting or disconnecting a device from the PC didn't trigger an update of the device list (red display of unavailable devices).
Fix: Hardware Options: Missing selection of the moved entry after dragging and dropping device list entries.
Fix: Hardware Options: The "Use TCP instead of UDP" checkbox for RTSP devices assigned to the Recording Service didn't show up in the RTSP device settings until a server list entry was selected. The protocol is now represented by two radio buttons “UDP” and “TCP”.
Change: Hardware Options: "Low bandwidth mode (USB 1.1)" checkbox removed (still available as hardware.xml tweak – create an “LowBandWidth” entry with the value 1 in the according section).
Add: Hardware Options: "Scan Devices" auto-detects Digital Devices cards that are DVB-T2 capable.
Miscellaneous
Change: Logging: debug.log, osd.log and osderror.log dropped. All log entries are written to the file DVBViewer.log, by default only critical errors and exceptions. The commandline parameter -debug additionally enables general event logging (as before), and -osddebug (new) general OSD event logging. The parameters -debug and -osddebug can be used separately or together.
Fix: Options: When using the tab key for navigation the selection rectangle marking checkboxes as focused wasn't displayed. Additionally the tab order had to be corrected on some pages (= order of control elements when using the tab key).
Change: Extended Options: "Ignore error messages" checkbox removed (still available as tweak, see Tweaker.exe)
Change: EPG Options: Restructured. The former "Do not receive EPG Data" checkbox now appears as a reverse "Receive standard EPG data" checkbox making more clear what it does.
Fix: EPG Options: After removing all MediaHighway/Freesat entries the default was restored on next launch. Additionally there were outdated Outdated MediaHighway entries.
Change: Teletext Options: Color settings removed.
Add: TV/Radio Options: General Restructuring. The "Disable video/audio when minimized" checkbox was replaced by a "Playback in minimized state" dropdown list providing three options: On, Stopped and Audio Only - the latter letting you hear what is going on while video decoding is switched off in order to save CPU power.
Fix: Channel Logo Options: Changes didn't activate the Apply Button.
Change: Visualization Options: The section has been merged with the Music section. The "Reload Plugin List" button and the Plugin path setting have been removed. The directory now always is DVBViewer\VisPlugins.
Fix: OSD: System -> Settings -> Music settings were not synchronized with according settings in the Options Window. The Show Visualizations setting didn't take effect until DVBViewer was relaunched.
Fix: OSD: Radio text wasn't removed on Playback Off.
Fix: Recording Service Wizard: Bug causing heavy access violations if the Recording Service Wizard was executed while DVB devices were used (e..g. for TV/Radio playback). Now, when clicking "Finish", the wizard displays a warning in case of ongoing recordings and stops every DVB device usage.
Add: Recording Service Wizard: Support for DVB-T2 and IPTV devices (requires Recording Service 1.28.0 or later).
Change: GUI Skins: Default GUI Skins adapted to the new menu structure
Fix: GUI Skins: Position slider resp. seeking issues.
Change: Channellist Editor: The file dialog for importing channellist files now shows all channellist file types at once (e.g. *.csv and *.ini), no need to select the types separately anymore.
Fix: Commandline: DVBViewer ignored the upper 32 Bit of a 64 bit channel ID passed as part of a -c parameter.
Add: Datamanager: #System.mute contains the current mute state (1 = muted | 0 = unmuted).
Update: VOD Source Filter to version 2.2.0
Update: Transponder lists for Astra 13°/23°/28° East and Hotbird 13° East.
Update: Tweaker.exe to version 1.0.5 (search function added).
Update: Hardware Database: TBS, DVBSky and Digital Devices cards added.Hallo
