Thema: SmartDVB 0.3.0 RC

[jackjavo]

ok jurgen, but then it might just have been the filters registration that got left out?
Especially the smartavsrc.ax at the filters folder would have to be registered at a clean system without install.
I'll see to make a .bat for that for the release. You need to run regsvr32 smartavsrc.ax at a dos/cmd box with admin privileges.
That's mostly what the install's needed for, besides also to install the necessary visual studio libraries if missing at all (like msvcrt100.dll etc which is used by vs 2010 apps which i use). More recently the appdata path install made the installer more complicated ofcourse...
I think the codecs should surive, unless there's something altered at the codecs themselves which interferes with directshow connection (pin connection names should remain the same also, only codec i've ever seen that alters that, or did, seems to be LAV).

You are 100% correct, this was a lack-of-filters-registrating issue.
And after having installed that fresh version, the old copies also are working again, after just being copied to the new machine.
Codecs didn't have to be touched.

So, if a user wants to transfer an existing installation of SmartDVB to another machine, he would first have to either install any (recent) version of SmartDVB on that new machine, or to register the .ax manually.

In fact, it could be a good idea, to include a batch for this, that could help to make SmartDVB semi-portable resp. allows to move it in a simople way.
And maybe also include necessary DLLs.
AFAIK, those would not even have to be registered, as long as SmartDVB knows about their location, inside of it's folder system.
BTW, why would filters have to be registered to the system? SDK limitations, that make an application ask Windows instead of simply using on it's own?

Anyway, now it seems, I may get ready to proceed with testing during this weekend.

Best regards

ok, i guess some auto register at the smartdvb.exe could be made also ofcourse(but then again that would fail if app not executed with admin privileges because registry alterations would be required, but it could give a message then to query the user to execute sdvb with admin privileges to allow the components to be registered?).

Dll's indeed wouldn't need  registration, but most newer w7/8 systems should have those dll's by default i presume otherwise lots of apps would not execute. I could simply add a very simple .exe to install those .dll's if needed, or simply include those dll's at some folder seperate. Essentially it should be possible to create the app so that those dll's r not required seperate (static linkage), but since dvb apps use lots of external uknown linkage dll's (plugins etc) and also other sdk's which r used inside dll's etc, which requires linkage of external libraries which i cannot control (coz i have no source for that ofcourse so you're limited to the .lib's developers supply, like tevii or streamreader etc, it's not wise to mixup linkage at a single component like .exe or dll) it's probably not a wise idea to do so (Registration of .ax simply a com requirement, objects are created with guids etc which need to be at the registry (directshow's components are also com components, so additions to that too).

I just build a new rc tst setup i'll send that to you, reports should also be possible with that one. It's also got some alterations to the smartosd stuff (possible t disable transparency, or also to disable smartosd at normal main view mode, seems some users found it bothersome with smaller video window etc).

would perhaps also be a good idea to be able to optionally disable SmartOSD for the floating window? Its a little annoying becausa it flares up every time the mouse pointer passes the window.

[jackjavo]

sure i already revised that to allow more selective remove of sosd elements at main/windowed mode, just need to await some feedback on some other issues before i build another tst.

I just did a clean installation of my Windows 7 64bit and tried to install SmartDVB (the last version in the thread). Unfortunately it demands a crashrpt1401.dll which is not there ...

[Jürgen]

@ Snoop
This is strange, as I do have it here.
And it has the same file time date as the SmartDVB.exe 0.3.0.20, i.e. March 16th 2013 23:08

I am really sure, because during my recent computer change I also made a clean install of Win7 Pro x64 and therefore even a clean install on 0.3.0.20, into a separate folder.

The test versions before came with CrashRpt1400.dll
Just copied those over, together with all my portable apps.

So probably something went wrong on your latest action.

[jackjavo]

@snoop: that's odd i'll send you the current build/setup (same from jurgen's ) just to make sure although. When you look at your 'program files (x86)\smartdvb' folder it's not there after install?

[Snoop]

The dll is there with the new version, but now I have the problem, that in the settings folder the "allsats.txt" is missing and I don't find it on the internet.

Strange, that I even do not have it in the backup of my old installation ... even not in appdata\local\ SmartDVB

Edit: Disregard, found it on a polish website ...

[jackjavo]

huh, seems like some magic with u? would almost think  u have a virus, but then you just did clean install so impossible..

[ioosis]

good  job   
nice installation

[jackjavo]

new rc test sent out to most current testers here. Especially snoop if you could try a clean install at the same system when things went amok for u?

[jackjavo]

hi,
received only good vibes with recent rc tst so decided to release it (better for reports to be current also otherwise too much doubles/backlogged etc)..

http://www.smartdvb.net/smartdvb/download/030//SmartDVB030RC.rar

So if some still need to test previous build better try this one,
Best Records!!

Thanks,

right at the moment I'm very busy, so I will do a clean install ASAP.
