DVBViewer 4.2.1. Jul 25 2009, 11:57
ZitatAlles anzeigenTimeshift
* Add: Timeshift: It is now possible to start a recording in timeshift mode. The timeshift timer converts the timeshift from the current shown timeshift position on to a "normal" recording file. Exception: The actual timeshift position = LiveTV (at the very end of the timeshift buffer) in this case a normal instant recording is started.
o The conversion runs as fast as possible till it reaches the end of the timeshift buffer. If the end is reached the data is converted as soon as it arrives in the timeshift buffer.
o It is a real timer. All settings (format etc) apply. Exception: Only the current audio track is recorded (timeshift does only buffer the current audio track).
o If timeshift is stopped the timer is stopped.
o If a timeshift timer is active you get a warning on channel switching, even if the option is deactivated. Channel switching stops timeshift ? timer stops.
o If available the EPG data corresponding to the timeshift time is used for the recording.
o The instant recording popup menu works also for timeshift timers. Notice: the times apply to the current time not the timeshifted time.
o The timeshift timers are visible in all the timer lists.
o The timeshift timers are never saved into the timers.xml.Scan window
* Fix: ATSC: Channel scan works correct now. Big thanks @antdude for testing.
* Fix: ATSC AC3 detection.
* Fix: The "updated channels" display is now reset on scan start.
* Fix: The heading in the info area did not use the default charset.
* Add: Inactive channels with entries only in the SDT can be added. You have to disable the "Active channels only" Option. Also channels with no video and audio are regarded as inactive.
* Some changes in the handling.
o If an existing root folder is selected the channels already present are updated and new ones are added. You can disable the adding of new found channels by enabling "Update only".
o If you enter a new root folder or leave it empty all channels are added as new to the new root folder. If the root folder name is empty a unique name for the root folder is generated.
o The display in the lower area now shows the count of the new found channels and updated channels.
* Add: "In-depth search": If this option is enabled the scanner also examines the NIT and can add new transponders or update existing one. This option takes a little longer than a normal scan.
Requirements:
o A transponder list with at least one valid frequency entry is selected.
o The whole frequency range (Start/End frequency) must be enabled.
o Works only with "Scan Range"
o Not available for ATSC or IPTV.
o The new found transponders are not saved.
If you need more influence on the procedure please use transedit.Channel list editor

* Change: Channel list: The channel names are now shown with a charset based on the user locales. Thanks @ter9999.
* Change: Chinese EPG should show now correctly everywhere (OSD/EPG window). Big Thanks @ter9999 for testing. These changes should also affect other non latin based languages.
* Several more preparations for Unicode supportPopup Channellist
* Fix: Popup channel list did not focus the correct channel sometimes.
* Add: The popup channel list gets now the focus as soon as it pops up (only if the main window has the focus.
* Fix: The Popup channel list closes if you leave the window to the right side.
* Fix: Removed the entries "channel list editor" and "last channel" from the popup channel list context menu.EPG Parsing
* Change: ATSC: EPG scanner and parser completely rewritten. You do need a DVB card which supports "Open whole transponder" and the option must be enabled in the hardware options. Big thanks @antdude for testing.
* Change: (EIT) EPG parser: optimized the detection of already processed tables.
* Change: (EIT) EPG Processing: Fixup for Anixe, RTL and SuperRTL EPG. The viewer tries to map some info from the description to the subtitle.

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

* Add: If the PC goes into the away mode the graph of the main playback is shutdown and the Viewer tells the system it can go to sleep, if wants needs to.
* Add: The DVBViewer sets now the away mode when it is recording.
* Change: Several changes to make the away mode work if the DVBViewer and the recording service are on the same PC. The hibernate and Shutdown action in the DVBViewer are mapped to the Standby action if the recording service is recording. This puts the PC into the away mode. (Needs the current version of the recording service)General
* Add: Instant recording popup menu: Added the functions stop after current program and stop after next program. The items are only available if there is EPG present.
* Fix: COM: the #volume tag was not set on startup.
* Fix: Channel Auto Update for the main playback chocked on PMT=0 in the channel data.

DVBViewer Pro 4.5
ZitatAlles anzeigenUnicode 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: 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. 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.

* 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”.Hardware related

We finally added MHEG-5 support to the DVBViewer.
What is it?
MHEG-5 is a TV middleware and modern replacement of the old teletext. It is used in the UK, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Australia, Ireland and Germany (via Technisat Multytext on Astra 19.2°E).A video presentation can be found here:
How to get it?
The MHEG-5 plugin is a third party add-on and has to be ordered separate. To do so, open the key tool and press order, next to the MHEG-5 entry.
Attention: Keep in mind that the license is bound to the email which was been used to buy the DVBViewer!
After the transaction has been completed, the downloadable content will be unlocked for your DVBViewer member account in the DVBViewer members area (https://www.dvbviewer.tv/members/).
Once the installation process is done, the personal plugin key you got via email has to be entered inside the keytool. You have to make sure that the code corresponds with the one you got provided by us. A triple-digit CRC Checksum indicates if the entered key is correct.
GeneralChange: Teletext Subtitles: The language of TTx subtitles is now detected by examining the PMT. This should result in a more accurate detection than before. Thanks @Griga.
Add: Subtitles : Added support for Arib8 (Japanese) subtitles.
Change. Favorites: Changed to the 64bit Favorites ID as used in Grigas GE and the Recording Service. The old IDs will still work.
Change: Options channels (Sky Germany): Changed the way how the options channels are detected. Now the list of the channels can be opened if you have tuned a active option channel. No need to tune the portal channels first.
Change: Options channels (Sky Germany): If a options channel is not found in the DVBViewer channel list, it will not be shown in the options channel list anymore, instead a entry about the missing channel is written to the log files.

Add: Recordings : Optional removal of H.264 filler data while recording. (see recording options).
Thanks to forums user Martin K for contributing the concept and code and to Griga for adapting it to the DVBViewer!
Some (not all) HD channels, particularly Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, arte HD and ORF HD, are inserting filler data in the H.264 video stream in order to keep a constant bitrate. The percentage of filler data depends on the broadcasted content. E.g. in low motion scenes 50% or more of the H.264 stream may consist of filler data, and in case of movie opening or closing titles even more than 90%. So removing the H.264 filler data may decrease the size of TS recordings with H.264 content considerably, in some cases to 50% and less.
Fix: Channel auto update : Sometimes the channel auto update for recordings didn't work correctly.
Change: The default name scheme for recording is now: %date_%time_%station_%nameEPG
Fix: D+ EPG (Spanish MHW EPG) works again.
Add: EPG: Support for the Japanese Arib8 EPG format.
Fix: EPG Options : Reworked the language selection in the EPG options.
Change: The ISO language is now shown in the EPG language options .
Add: Tweaks : Added “DVBEPGAsAnsi” Tweak (see Tweaks.txt). Determinates if the DVB EPG Parser ignores the language settings in the EIT and converts the text from the local charset to UTF-8. May help if you get strange chars in the EPG.
You have to set the locales setting of the system account the recording service is running in to the same locales your user account is using.
OSD
Change: OSD Timer window : The askdeletetimer setting now also works for the OSD timer window.
Change: OSD channel list window : OSD Left/Right on a channel group now jumps one group forward/backward.
Change: OSD Default skin : Some fixes and small changes.
PlaybackAdd: DVB/Bluray/HDDisk images : can be played by Drag'n'Drop into the main window or “open media file” (still needs Daemon Tools or Virtual CloneDrive).
Fix: Tag reader/Flac files: The Vorbis Comments tags were not read correctly for flac files.
Recording service related
Change: EPG loaded from the Service : Is now handled again as external EPG.
Change: Sending WOL to the Recording Service PC on program start up: Now the messages pump is kept working while waiting for the WOL. No more “... doesn't respond” messages.

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!
Change: MHEG5: Rewritten Audio/Video playstate in Mheg5 engine
Change: MHEG5: ServiceIDs (NID, TID, SID) are now send properly to the Mheg5 engine

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. -

Fix: PMT-Parser: The PMT parser used a wrong PID for non ATSC audio streams with the ID $81.
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.
Recording Service
Fix: Service Options: The test button showed the XML answer of the request.
Fix: Service Options: “Ignore local recording list” is now ignored if the RS support is deactivated.

Change: Main Window: The window sticks to the screen edges when it is resized with the mouse wheel.
Fix: Main and GUI Skin Window: Aero snap is prevented while resizing
Add: Main and GUI Skin Window: Snapping to the desktop edges under Windows Vista / 7, issues when moving the napped window are solved.
Add: GUI Skin Window: Resizing by dragging the lower right corner and holding the shift key down keeps the aspect ratio of the video display area. Dragging without shift key works as before.
Fix: GUI Skin Window: Resizing with the mouse wheel invisibly changed the size of the main window
Fix: DVBViewer Windows (general): Keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C etc. disabled using them for standard functions (Select All, Copy...) in focused input fields
Fix: Channel List: Auto-scroll did not work when expanding a node.
Fix: Channel Editor: The return key didn't start the search function.
Fix: Scanner: The scanner didn't read ATSC Clear QAM channels correctly, thus creating "Service XXX" entries to which no EPG data could be assigned.
Fix: Timeshift: Timeshift files weren't written correctly after selection of ATSC subtitles
Fix: Timer Recordings Window: The Special Action -> Transponder Dump option didn't work.
Fix: Timer Recordings Window: An incomplete input in the start/end time fields disabled using most other control elements.

Fix: Instance Management: A second DVBViewer instance accessing the same configuration folder could be launched by using "as administrator".
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.
Change: Setup: If an xml file can't be loaded because it is corrupted or not present, DVBViewer recreates it by copying the content of the according .bak file (if available).
Fix: KeyTool: Without a previously used key the key file selection was not displayed as intended
Update: Tweaker.exe to version 1.0.4
Update: DVBViewer Filter to version 3.8.0
EPG
Fix: Tweaks: The tweak that was supposed to let DVBViewer assume ISO 6937 character coding didn't work correctly.
Fix: EPG Character Set: Wrong EPG character set selection under certain circumstances.
Change: EPG Character Coding: The setup doesn't contain the file Huffman.dll anymore because it has been integrated in DVBViewer.
Fix: EPG Internet Search: The internet search in the EPG Window failed on some sites if the search item contained non-ASCII characters (e.g. umlauts). Please copy the new EPG_URLList.ini file from the installation directory to the configuration folder. It contains additional entries indicating if UTF-8 character coding must be applied for a site.

Hardware
Fix: Hardware Options: If two or more equivalent free devices in the hardware list were set to "Preferred" DVBViewer selected the last instead the first one.
Fix: Hardware Options: Sorting the device list with drag & drop followed by OK/Apply caused a memory leak and possibly access violations.
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).
Change: RTSP Device: Code restructured in order to make it less error prone.

Fix: Zoom: Under certain circumstances the video resolution was detected as 0 x 0 causing the View → Zoom 25%...200% functions in the context menu of the main window to set it to zero size.
Change: Picture in Picture: Code cleanup.
Fix: RDS: The accidental activation of RASS picture reception caused occasional beeps or saving of pictures in the configuration folderimages subdirectory when playing certain German radio stations.
Fix: VOD Source Filter: URL detection for Vimeo. Links work again.
Fix: Tweaks: Wrong default for "Use EVR Video Processor" option.
OSD
Fix: OSD Volume Bar: After 24 days without rebooting the PC the volume bar remained endlessly on screen.
Fix: OSD Help: The OSD menu timeout was unintentionally applied to the OSD help pages.
Fix: OSD Timeline: After entering a channel / favourite number the according channel entry wasn't marked / selected correctly in the OSD timeline.
Fix: OSD Menu: Moving the mouse within the video display area removed the focus from the currently selected OSD menu item, so OSD OK had to be pressed twice for selection.
Fix: OSD Default Skin: Dialogs didn't perform "page down" on first arrow down key press.
Fix: OSD Popup Windows: Closing DVBViewer with open OSD popup window (help or EPG details) caused an access violation.

5.3.0
ZitatAlles anzeigenMain 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 optionsDon't use CI
Use any CI
Use CI #1
Use CI #2for 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. -
5.3.1
ZitatAlles anzeigenFix: TV Playback: HEVC aspect ratio was not processed correctly.
Fix: Playback: The “Disable AV” state after performing the according action was not handled correctly (applies to 5.3.0 and playback with DVBViewer Filter).
Change: Playback: The stricter graph building method introduced in 5.3.0 now falls back to the more “tolerant” handling of previous versions instead of displaying an error message if an audio decoder cannot be connected. Please note: User DirectX settings are ignored silently in this case. Please check Settings → Filters to see which DirectShow components are actually used by playback.
Add: File Playback: Detection of MP3 in TS files if the audio headers are aligned with the PES packet structure. Applies to playback with the DVBViewer Filter.
Fix: Stream Playback: For some file formats (e.g. .mkv) the decoder and video renderer selected in the DirectX options were not used with VODSource as source filter.
Change: Stream Playback: If the VOD Filter is not registered the LAV Source is used as replacement if installed.
Updated: DVBViewer Filter to version 3.8.1. Fixes issues occurring occasionally if Options → DirectX → DVBViewer Filter → TV/Radio Pre-Format Detection is switched on.
Change: Music Options: Restructured.
Change: FreeDB Options: Removed. FreeDB lookup setting moved to the Music Options, the FreeDB server settings are now available as tweak (see Tweaker.exe).
Change: Recording Service Options: Restructured, prevents useless activation of channel list / favorites list download and Wake On LAN if a local Recording Service instance is selected.
Change: Recording Service Wizard: Prevents useless activation of Wake On LAN if a local Recording Service instance is selected.
Change: Hardware / Recording Service Options: RTSP (SAT>IP) server detection reworked. It is now performed in a separate background thread so that a missing server response cannot block the UI. Also applies to the Recording Service Wizard.
Fix: Recorder: Recording of an inactive / non-existing audio track with "Options -> Recorder -> Auto-split on channel data change" switched on and "All audio tracks" switched off could result in thousands of small files. Now the recorder uses an active audio track in this case.
Fix: Recorder: A timer recording assigned to the Audiorecorder Plugin didn't start in playback off state due to repeated access violations.
Add: IPTV/RTSP Device: RTP packet reordering. It significantly lowers the probability of drop outs resp. discontinuities, particularly when receiving TV/Radio via WLAN.
Change: IPTV Device: The virtual IPTV network device is now based on a different code library and uses much less memory than before.
Add: IPTV/RTSP Device: Two tweaks for virtual IPTV/RTSP network devices in the file hardware.xml:
The RecvBuffer entry specifies the size of the receive buffer in kB. The default is 13560 kB (approx. 13 MB).
The ReorderTimeout entry specifies how many milliseconds DVBViewer waits at maximum for missing RTP packets and meanwhile stores subsequent packets for processing them in correct order. The default is 100 ms.
Change: Main Window: The View → Window Size percentage now refers to the desktop resp. monitor work area, not to the video resolution anymore (which didn't make much sense). The new percent values are 40%, 50%, 60%, 75% and 100%, the latter representing the maximum achievable window size.
Change: Status Bar: Right-clicking it opens the main window context menu (previously disabled). Left-clicking the (textual) format information section opens the DVBViewer Filter property page, if available (previously right-clicking the audio channel icon or signal strength field).
Add: Tray Icon: A left-click minimizes DVBViewer if it is visible. A click with the middle mouse button switches audio off/on (mute).
Fix: OSD: DVBViewer now prevents a second confirmation dialog as Windows message box in addition to an OSD dialog if actions that require confirmation are performed repeatedly. They are ignored as long as an OSD confirmation dialog is visible (which means they are internally answered with “No”).
Fix: OSD: Readability of several default skin (Envy) pages enhanced, missing images on certain HTPC pages added, missing 1088 display fixed.
Fix: HbbTV: The AIT Parser did not read all packets.
Fix: HbbTV: Playback of playlists could cause damaged links filled with parts of previous URLs (a HbbTV broadcast plugin bug worked-around in DVBViewer).
