A new Version of the Recordingservice is in the Membersarea.

Changes 1.5.0.21 Beta

    * Recording Configuration program
          o Fix: Several improvements in the translation code to prevent faulty lng files to cause any errors.
          o Add: Recording options: Auto split on PMT change added.
          o Add: Recording options: Mapped network drives are added to the recording folders with their UNC path name.
          o Add: The warning time of Shutdown/Standby can now be adjusted.
          o Add: For Airstar/ATSC cards open whole transponder is automatically activated. (needed for the EPG).
    * Service
          o Fix: Recordings without EPG were not entered into the database.
          o Add: Webpages (and data) are now transmitted gzip compressed, if the browser supports it. Can be disabled in the service options -> Web settings.
          o Fix: An empty search phrase in an auto search timer caused an error. Empty searches are now ignored.
          o Change: Web skin: Reworked the logo a little.
          o Fix: Improved recording folder calculation: Now the service tries to find any recording working folder before it takes the fall back value.
          o Add: DiseqC: Fixed problems with the locales and floating point notation ("." and ",").
          o Fix: FFMPEG mp3 Transcoding: Due to an error in the logic of the handling only one instance of ffmpeg at a time was active.
          o 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!
          o Add: Webserver: Improvements for the IPhone support integrated.
          o Add: UPnP: Recordings: Added a file name view.
          o Change: Away Mode: Improved the handling a bit. (Needs further testing).
          o Fix: In very few cases the were problems with the authentication of the HTTP server.
          o Add: UPnP: Added the mime type (video/mpegts) for recordings.
          o Fix: VCR: Manually creating a timer without description could lead to messed up file names of the recording.
          o Fix: Fixed a conflict in the initialization of the DVB devices by the EPG Updater and the further use by a Streaming Client which needs the CI of the device.
          o Add: The EPG Updater is now shown in the webinterface ? Status.
          o Change: CAM support for Twinhan and KNC1 based cards (EXPERIMENTAL!). Some broadcasters send contradicting CA_Info descriptors on program and ES level (Hotbird the polish TVN channels as example), which some CAMs do not handle very well. Now the CA_PMT ignores the descriptors on the ES level if program level descriptors are present. This is not according to the specs, but seems to work. Please report if you have one of the mentioned cards and experience problems with this new handling.
          o Change: VCR: You can activate auto splitting of a recording if the PMT data changes while it is running.
          o Add: Recording options: Added an option to enable auto split on PMT data change.
          o Fix: Some fixes for Unicable support.
          o Fix: Recordings without EPG were not written to the database.
          o Fix: Fixes for Skystar 2 DiseqC.
          o Change: EPG Processing: Fixup for Anxie, RTL and SuperRTL EPG. The viewer tries to map some info from the description to the subtitle.
          o Change: (EIT) EPG parser: optimized the detection of already processed tables.
          o 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.
          o Reworked: The internal EPG handling has been further reworked to optimize the multi language/entry handling.
          o Add: Experimental enhanced DiseqC (without rotor support!) and Unicable support for the Skystar 2 by griga.

DVBViewer Recording Service 1.5.0.31 Beta

Changes:

    * Fix: Recordings: The creation of sub folders does work again. (with the "\" in the name scheme).
    * Fix: Streaming: Fixed problems on changing between DVB devices.
    * Fix: Recording: The EPG update could block recordings of encrypted channels.
    * Change: UPnP: Reworked and extended the UPnP handling. This should also improve the interoperability with UPnP clients.
    * Add: The warning window before Standby/Hibernate/Power off can be disabled in the menu of the system tray program.
    * Change: KNC One: You can use now the old and the new support DLL. It seems the new one does cause problems with vista and DiseqC.
    * Change: Internationalization: Floating point numbers do now use always the '.' as decimal separator. The function to read the data does try both variants (. and ,).
    * Change: Internationalization: Date and time values are now saved in the format "dd.mm.yyyy" "hh:nn:ss". On some systems the recording service system account and the user account did use different locales which did lead to problems.
    * Change: For the read back into the recordings DB now first the fileinfo and then the info file is used. The fileinfo does not have any problems regarding the date/time format.
    * Add: Hardware: S2 detection of the Skystar S2.
    * Change: Recordings/Split: Splitted recordings are now numbered with _XXX postfix (XXX = number).
    * Add: Skystar 2/ Skystar S2: Reset after Hibernate/Standby for Skystar devices integrated. You can activate it in the configuration program/ hardware options.
    * Add: Unicable support improved (Timing, calculation of the frequencies).
    * Add: Unicable: PIN support for MDU (multiple dwelling unit) router.
    * Add: Configuration program/ Hardware options: You can enter the Unicable relevant data in the options via the "Unicable" button.

Changes 1.5.0.55 Beta test (needs installed V1.5.0.31)

    * Fix: Recordings: Fixed several problems refreshing the database.
    * Change: Changed to sqlite Version 3. The database will be converted on first start.
    * Change: PAT/PMT and EPG tables will now be CRC32 checked to avoid problems with wrong data (caused by bad reception).
    * Change: Hardware: LNB Off can be set per device, if it supports this. You have to do a manual device scan, to see the option on the hardware page.
    * Change: Hardware: LNB Off will be force for shared LNB devices.
    * Add: Twinhan/Azurewave based devices: Added LNB Off.
    * Add: Freesat EPG/ATSC EPG: New Huffman decoding unit thanks to Griga.
    * Fix: QBox DiseqC support integrated
    * Add: Configuration program: Default settings for priority and after recording process added.
    * Add: Internal tasks are automatically added to the tasklist.
    * Fix: Optimized the debug logging.
    * Removed: Single EPG search timer removed.
    * Add: Internal Tasks Timer added. These timers do have a starttime and a duration (defined by the endtime). They will be (like the other special timers) always executed even if they are late for their programmed time. These timers can execute all internal tasks.
    * Add: Added the internal tasks CleanupDB, RefreshDB and CleanupRefreshDB.
    * Fix: Under certain circumstances the service did initialize twice after waking from standby/hibernate.
    * Change: Internally unicode is now used. It does not have any influence on the web interface for now. But the UPnP stuff does already use it.
    * Change: Configuration program: Removed the options to assign the Web/UPnP and popcornhour to an IP. Instead those servers now connect to each network interface separately. If you want to exclude network interfaces you can add them to the (semicolon separated) blacklist in the options.
    * Add: Timers: Added a new property: "Series". The value will be save to the database and the file info / info file and will be used (in the future) to group recordings. You can edit this value manually in the timer edit window or add it as a property to an EPG search.
    * Add: Timers: Added a new placeholder for the file name: "%series".
    * Improved: UPnP: Improved compatibility with several clients/programs (PS3, Samsung TV, Pioneer TV and more).
    * Improved: UPnP: Does now support artwork (thumbnails) of recordings.
    * Improved: UPnP: Does now use real UTF8.
    * Improved: UPnP: Does now support parts of the DLNA specs.
    * Improved: UPnP: The mediaservice can send its logo to devices which can display it.
    * Improved: UPnP: The mediaservice does now serve the media data of the recordings (real length, resolution, bitrate etc).

Vthumb.exe

    * A thumbnails generator for TS (Mpeg2/h264) and mpeg files. Can be used by the recording service to generate thumbnails of your recordings.
    * You first have to setup the decoders:
          o Start vthumbs.exe and select the video decoders. To check if the decoders are useable drag and drop a TS MPEG2 and a h.264 recording into the program window. If all works, you should have a jpeg File in the folder of the TS file and this image does show something "useful" (means no gray, green or distorted image). If there is no lpeg file or the image is not correct, try another decoder.
          o If everything looks OK press the "Save" button.
    * After all is setup the recording service generates thumbnails
          o On a recording database refresh, if not thumbs are present in the cache folder.
          o After a recording.
          o On UPnP browsing, if no thumbnails for the recording files are present in the cache folder.
    * Generating the thumbnails does take quite some time, so you might see a placeholder image until the actual thumbnails are generated.
    * Because it takes so long to generate them, the thumbnails will be cached in the [userdata folder]imagesthumbsrecordings folder. The thumbnails are removed, if you delete the recording via the webinterface/dvbviewer connection.
    * If you don't want to use thumbnails, just rename/remove vthumbs.exe.

Changes 1.5.0.60 Beta test

    * Fix: CaPMT: Reverted to the old handling: No more ignoring of ES CA descriptors if there are PS CA descriptors. If you need to previous handling please set in the file svchardware.xml the "IgnoreESCA" Value to "1" for the appropriate device.
    * Fix: Recordings: Refresh database will now compare the individual fields, so manual changes to fileinfo/infofile are taken into account.
    * Fix: Recordings: Cleanup database will now check if the path of a file is within the list of recording paths.
    * Fix: Webinterface: If UPnP was deactivated showing the status page could cause an internal error.
    * Change: EPG: on some system the WinAPI function MultiByteToWideChar didn't work as expected which caused problems processing the incoming EPG.
    * Add: Webinterface: On the recordings page you can now switch to a “series” view. This is still experimental.
    * Fix: DVBServer part: Windows 7 seems to delay the initialization of network devices sometimes, so the DVBServer part of the Recording Service now tries to reconnect every 10 seconds until it succeeded.
    * Several fixes and optimizations in the Unicode EPG parser.
    * Add: Recording Service: New icon for the Recording Service thanks @rago.
    * Change: VCR: Recordings now first try to use the device of the EPG Updater instead of “stealing” it from a streaming client.
    * Change: XML Handling: Now using the correct UTF-8 encoding.
    * Change: VCR: The generation of the recording file name now takes “\\”, caused by an empty field for subfolder generation, into account.
    * Change: CI-Handling: The PMT/caPMT will now be send with a 50 ms delay. This does seem to improve the stability of decoding.
    * Change: UPnP: Streaming of TS Recording (SD/HD) to Sony Bravia TVs does work now.
    * Change: UPnP: On the fly MPEG2 conversion of LiveTV possible (not for H264 channels!). Can be helpful for UPnP devices which can't handle TS. You can activate it in the service.xml file:
      Section "UPnP", Value: "UseMPG", values: 0/1, default 0.
    * Fix: VCR: MPG Recording work now even if the Sequence header is not at the beginning of the PES-packets.
    * Add: VCR: Some broadcasters activate the AC3 Stream only if necessary, this could cause problems with editing programs (projectx etc) which did not detect the AC3 stream, if you started the TS-recording early (because of the normally used pre roll).
      Now there is a tweak to force a split of the TS-recording if a new AC3 stream is detected at last 15 seconds after the start of the recording. You can activate it in the service.xml file:
      Section "Recording", Value: "SplitAC3Add", Values: 0/1, default 0.
      Use at your own risk!
    * Fix: Hardware: DiseqC for K-World device does work now.
    * Change: Webinterface: The EPG searches are now sorted alphabetically.
    * Fix: UPnP: Some text was not properly coded as UTF-8 causing some UPnP clients to freak out.
    * Fix: UPnP: Unicode and ANSI was internally mixed causing problems with some clients.
    * Improved: UPnP: Compatibility with UPnP clients.

    * Add: Siehferninfo: The genre of the SFI entry will be translated to a DVB genre (if possible).
    * Fix: Recordings: Refresh database did only not work properly if only the fileinfo was available.
    * Add: Siehferninfo: In the config program you can now activate an additional update run for SFI. This will be run after the normal EPG Update and lasts 15 minutes.
    * Fix: UPnP: The URLs for the channel logos were wrongly encoded.
    * Add: Hardware: Support for Philips SAA7231-devices (DVB-S2, DiSEqC 1.0).
    * Add: Hardware: Support for devices from Digital Devices (DVB-S2, DiSEqC 1.2, not tested).
    * Add: Webinterface: UPnP debugging can now be activated via webinterface.
    * Fix: Webinterface: Some templates had a fixed encoding.
    * Change: VCR: Instead of "Disc full" a more useful error message is shown, if possible.
    * Change: AutoRecordSearch: On some systems rounding errors occurred on adding new timers resulting in a wrong date for the timer.
    * Improved: Recording: MPG Recording work now even if the Sequence header is not at the beginning of the PES-packets.
    * Change: EPG: on some system the WinAPI function MultiByteToWideChar didn't work as expected which caused problems processing the incoming EPG.
    * Fix: Hardware: Reworked the allocation logic for SharedLNB and Hybrid devices for DVBViewer clients and internal recordings.. Please test.

[SiLæncer]

You need an installed and working Version 1.5.0.31 for this version!

Changes 1.5.0.75 Beta test

    * Fix: Hardware: Reworked the allocation logic for SharedLNB and Hybrid devices for EPG Updater and (UpnP)Streaming clients. Please test.
    * Fix: Autosearch: The timers generated by the auto-search had different names than the ones generated manually from search results (The Subtitle field was missing in the timer name).
    * Add: KNC-One Devices: You can force the KNC-One devices now to use Diseqc 1.0 with following entry in the device section of the hardware.xml:
      <entry name="Diseqc10">1</entry>
    * Change: EPG Search: You can now have a time window crossing 00:00.
    * Remove: Settings: Removed the Enable EPG-Updater setting.
    * Add: Settings: Added a new setting "Automatic EPG Update every 12 hours if PC is active." If enabled, the EPG-Updater behaves like in the previous versions. If disabled, you can start the EPG Updater with an internal Task timer.
    * Fix: VCR: Process timers created as an after process of a recording did not work, if the recording started before and ended after 00:00.

Changes:

- Fix: UPnP TV-Streaming: Opening a DVB-device for UPnP streaming did not work correctly. Introduced in 1.5.0.75.

Unfortunatly the last hotfix didn't work as expected. So

I've uploaded the Hotfix Version 1.5.0.77.

A Test Version of the Recordingservice is in the Membersarea.

You need an installed and working Version 1.5.0.31 for this version!

Changes 1.5.0.90 Beta test

    * Add: VCR: Added the ability to stop/split recordings from a DVBViewer client. Needs DVBViewer 4.3.1.80+.

    * Improved: UPnP/Streaming: Improved compatibility with Popcornhour A + C 200.

    * Add: Added a webinterface and streaming of LiveTV/Recordings for the iPhone/iPod Touch.
          o The webinterface is based on the work of the forums user swerner.
          o You need FFmpeg Revision 18639 for Win32. Extract the ffmpeg.exe it into the program folder of the recording service (where the DVBVservice.exe is).
            Be aware: Not every ffmpeg version works correctly. The one mentioned here works. So stick with it in the beginning and make sure it works for you also, then you can experiment with newer ffmpeg revisions.
          o To access the webinterface enter in Safari on the iPhone the address to your webserver + the subfolder /iphone/
            Example: http://[your servername]:[your webserver port if not port 80]/iphone/.
          o The Streaming uses the quicktime plugin for mobile Safari on the iPhone, so make sure it is activated (and JavaScript also).
          o Streaming to the iPhone is always a live conversion to h264 (even if the source is h264 it has to be resized). So you do need lots of CPU power (these values are only a hint, your mileage may vary: SD MPEG2 source → Dualcore with 1.5 Ghz, HD H264 source → Dualcore with 2.6 Ghz).
          o The EPG-Search page doesn't work for now. The iPhone support has still some room for improvements.

                + Just a little tip to avoid having to enter the Username/Password every time you start the webinterface full screen: [/color][color="#696969"]
                  In safari: open the webinterface with: http://[your username]:[your password]@[your ip]:[your port]/iphone/ then add it to the Home Screen. Now it should open without password input. Use this at your own risk!

                  Sample URL:
                  User: Admin
                  Password: Admin
                  IP: 192.168.0.2
                  Port: 8080

Hotfix 1.5.0.91 is in the members area.

Fix:
- UPnP LiveTV streaming to the PS3 didn't work anymore.

[SiLæncer]

A Test Version of the Recordingservice is in the Membersarea.

You need an installed and working Version 1.5.0.31 for this version!

Changes 1.5.0.95 Beta test

    * Add: iPhone Webinterface: Added a simple channel list (grouped) to allow streaming of channels without EPG.
    * Removed: iPhone Webinterface: Removed the start - offset for file playback.
    * Add: iPhone Streaming: Recording (file) playback now supports the time line to jump to a selected time in the file. This might take some seconds because the transcoding has to be adjusted accordingly.
    * Removed: iPhone Webinterface: Channel groups/channel selection: Removed the “show 10 more items” stuff.
