Thema: New test builds

[dada]

I did some tests with the new build. The blindscan  stuff I could not test, because my cards do not supprort blindscan. A few days ago I upgraded to w10, so I made a backup copy of sdvb before I copied the new files to sdvb. It ran normally right from the start. I had the impression that sdvb reacted even quicker (compared to w7)  but I did not do any specific tests. I tested fairly intensively the new possibility of controlling sdvb from clients with vlc via http. This works excellently! Via an m3u playlist it is possible from clients to change channels (right now only the Astra sats are implemented). Channel change is very fast and even on my aged system HD channels get through without stuttering.
Will do more tests on other improvements...

Hi dada. Thanks for the feedback, sounds good i also did some tests with that and yes you're not the only one reporting that the app seems snappier i've been looking at that too (without risking too much compatibility issues, which is always like walking a tight rope). Good to know the streaming works ok, i tested this myself of course and still lots can be done to return a more customized .m3u list perhaps compared to right now only favorites etc one could imagine it's not much work. Besides that as you mentioned implementing other protocols besides http might be something for the future too..

@Snoop: i'm looking still at the cinergy box issues you have, now that i know it's a tevii device essentially i have something to look at. Oddly enough bda.dev uses tevii sdk so i'm surprised the sdk calls seem less stable and slower compared to some old basic bda code from bdas.dev which doesn't really use the sdk, just some specific extensions for diseqc (which i'm not even sure would be fully implemented with bdas.dev so still worth the trouble to investigate the bda.dev issues some more).

Thanks in advance! 

[jackjavo]

btw snoop after some reading if you're device is truly tevii compatible you should be able to use the blindscan.dev device also instead of bdas.dev. Not sure of the channel switch and stability of that (not concerning crazycat's implementation but more mine blindscan.dev has hardly not been used by myself or tested with regards to channel switching and stability etc). But it might even be quicker since crazycats implementation usually is superior. You might have a look i wonder if it would work..

Don't get a picture with blindscan although I can select it ...

[jackjavo]

ahh ok. Now i think of it i read tevii enabled blindscan for their drivers with their more recent drivers, and your device is essentially a tevii 660 (the components are even on the same place i read). So it probably won't work without specific manufacturer driver modifications. But i would not advice you try installing tevii drivers for your device i presume you've installed drivers you found specific for this cinergy s2 usb box. (i'll search if someone has done that, but doubt it, would have remembered if i had read that). You did replace your previous blindscan.dev with the one provided in the .zip archive? It's a shame you almost had a blindscan device after all . You don't get a picture but you do see signal/quality/ tune changes with the device?
edit: probably never will work due to different usb identifications btw using other drivers (even if the drivers essentially might be the same)..

[Snoop]

I replaced all the files with the ones in the zip and I don't get signal and quality

[Snoop]

Thanks for the new test build, it's working pretty well on first glance, I will test the scheduler the next days.

Merry Christmas to you, Jack! 

[jackjavo]

ok good to know. Btw if you really downloaded that archive i sent you quickly, please make sure it  includes streamreader.dll. I modified some header stuff there and forgot to add streamreader.dll to the initial archive but was able to correct that within a couple of minutes

thanks and merry christmas to all here too of course..

Any changes to our "internal" last version?

Also a happy new year to you! 

[jackjavo]

No snoop i just consolidated the release. Mainly blindscan/dx fixes. Some small changes to the install  the transponder  .ini files are unpacked instead of installed, also the satellite files themselve are updated to more current frequency lists

Thanks appreciated
