[zoran89]

Re: Latest Version of SmartDVB

SmartDVB 0.3.5 beta 3

fixed: Allsats.txt satellite name length increased, should be possible up to 128 ch now.

fixed: pip tab totals current pip header did not always update correct.

added: station list option to fullscreen popup.

fixed: sometimes smart ###### > video decoder PIP connection issues with some codecs (ffdshow/ms dtv). Still needs to be
tested well.

fixed: some recursive exception error reporting situations (i hope).

added: splitter for main epg/description.

added: media settings menu option to allow media splitter configuration (default/haali or lav). Please note lav splitter seems
to create crashes with wmv etc (for me).

added: search list station images/icons.

modified: graphical list total images, some other graphical list icons modifications to make hd/enc more visible.

modified: some modifications to transport stream file play, mostly stability.

fixed: udp station change with VLC might operate better now.

added: exterimental vlc http stream start/stop option to udp settings (you need to start vlc with "--extraintf=http"
or "-I http" (latter if you don't require normal vlc gui interface). This allows correct udp station changes
with vlc when using UDP unicast.Do not enable this option if not needed (or disable it when VLC usage is not
needed/required), it might slow down application startup otherwise. This could be a solution for the problem with
changing stations with vlc udp streams, so if you previously had issues with that (vlc didn't change station
correct after initial udp station try this).
These modifications also allow for better integration with the smartdvb web interface.

fixed: Scheduler issue with multiple recordings.

added: dvbsky/benustar diseqc support to bda.dev.

fixed: pressing alt-f4 at fullscreen/windowed mode didn't show main interface (it had to be killed with the task manager).

added: transport stream file play now tries to automatically find/select station, should also work better now offline.

added: transport stream file play dialog to select station if more then 1 station is found.
modified: some epg iso processing issues (polish stations).

added: media mode icon to smart osd.

added: transport stream mode icon to smart osd.

added: some missing addon calls i realised were missing. Setmodulation and settransponderinfo to addons. Use setmodulation to set the
modulation required before settransponder. SetTransponderInfo is needed before setdiseqc sometimes (with some device types) for correct operation
of switches, needs to be set before calling setdiseqc/senddiseqc. Existing addons might need to be recompiled (not many there yet so instead of adding new interface for
this call existing one's been modified, they're essential missing calls anyhow so they should be included).

added: some messageboxes after pressing esc when exiting media mode/transport stream mode file play, otherwise the user
might press esc (remote too) and not realise the current media might be stopped.

added: options to media mode settings to play transport stream files/mpeg ps files forcibly with the ms demultiplexer, experimental
needs tests. Some systems seem to have problems to play such files. Best option is to install a known demux/splitter like
haali media splitter or LAV splitter for such files, which should then run ok with default options.

added: pip close/start remote/keyboard/winlirc commands.

modified: more hardcoded program strings moved to resources for translations. Please report still missing strings.

fixed: PIP bug when modifying video renderer followed with pip reload with existing pip window would result in crash
(renderer switch would not be taken into account then).

modified: some blue epg paint/redraw issues (header data would not get updated correctly all the time). Tried to fix some
apparent freezes seen from reports, cannot recreate these issues myself so unsure if it's better/corrected now.

fixed: schedule station from pip exception.

fixed: some dvb subs exceptions (from reports, untested).

fixed: some teletext exceptions due to recent arabic modifications.

added: tray icon minimize now shows different color tray icon and different tray message (indicating a recoding is busy) when recording.

added: CTRL key at application startup shows device selection dialog and skips initial device load (useful when having device startup problems/issues).

fixed: some problems with pls/mis when using bda.dev and tbs6925, should work now (tested).

added: option to bda.dev device settings to enable pls/mis, by default PLS/MIS is disabled for tbs devices. Only the tbs new interfaces support pls/mis so make
sure you select those for your TBS device which supports PLS/MIS.

added: basic help file, needs more work (volunteers?).

added: netup diseqc interfaces (untested).

fixes: some modifications to bda.dev auto detect code, hope it now detects ms interfaces correct, please test if bda.dev not broken/still ok.

added: ###### indications to station list status bar. If stations are invisible they're shown after an invisible icon (hidden eye). If specific other
filters like ac3/hd/dvb/ttx are set icons are shown to indicate that. Lots of users made the mistake of settings such filters and not realising
they were set, this might make that more visible to them.

modified: some modifications to SmartOSD modules, should/could be more stable now, needs tests.

fixed: some more fixes to transport stream file mode stability/workings.

added: option to assign SID numbers to current remote station numbers (useful when actual provider SID values correspond with remote numbers so you don't need to manually set each station CH# at the station properties).

added: graphical station general list icon to indicate whether station is a current favorite.

Re: Latest Version of SmartDVB

SmartDVB 0.4.0 Beta 1


Changelog:

April 30, 2014

Version 0.4.0 Beta 1

It’s time for another beta round.

Main additions this time:

support for multiple LNB’s on a per satellite basis, based on frequency selection. You should be able to define more than 1 lnb with the satellite settings dialog (main menu ‘add/edit frequencies > settings’) for a specific satellite. This might be most useful for north american (c-band) users, so please let me know if this works as advertised for you since I’m not able to test this very thorough.
MadVR support. MadVR will show up as a selectable renderer only if installed. Please note that you require a strong system setup and 3d graphics video card to make use of MadVR, so don’t go trying this on older systems please.
left/right stereo Audio spectrum.
client/server mode with HTTP or UDP streaming, including transcoding with an external transcoder like ffmpeg.exe (latter included in the installer archive). Requires testing.
transport stream records transcoding, allowing you to save the recording to mp4/wmv/mp4/mkv/avi/mpg through ffmpeg transcoding (note mp4 transcoding will not work on XP systems, this is a known issue atm).
parental lock settings.
various scanner (normal scanner not blindscanner) enhancements and modifications (changes detection when updating, more frequencly list sorting etc), requires testing.
basic stream analyzer.
providerid’s should now be detected, where possible.
and more
as always lots of bug fixes and corrections/modifications.

Re: Latest Version of SmartDVB

SmartDVB 0.4 Beta 2 (June 20, 2014)


Changelog:

v0.4.0 beta 2 test

added: smartexec /channel option saves currently selected channel (satid,nid,tid,sid) to channel.dat in the settings folder.
fixed: lag issue which could occur with skystar devices (skystar.dev).
fixed: bda.dev crash which could occur when switching to/from direct tune mode.
fixed: skystar HD Express should now also work with skystar WDM device (skystar.dev), should be a better option for owners of such devices compared to the buggy
bda implementation technisat provides.
fixed: transcode parameters were not saved correct/used at the transcode settings dialog.
fixed: video status bar would not update EPG progress/textual data correctly at all times, should work better now.
fixed: skystar.dev signal stats were not being shown correct (quality/level were shown as being the same).
fixed: edit filter should be maintained between channel tab switches.
added: HTTP stream option to stream radio station with MP3. (TV stations should also send the audio only through this http url).
added: basic transcode profile settings to allow for easier change/selected of different streaming/recording parameter sets. Seemed like a necessity to add
this to the current external ffmpeg transcode setup. Profiles are saved to settings/transcode.ini
fixed: scan update dialog lost channels are now sorted by frequency.
fixed: some issues with transport stream transcoded recordings (mp4/mkv).
added: remote ch# selection should also move epg to the selected remote tab channel.
fixed: channel list tv filter would not be retained across application instances.
fixed: adding a blindscan range now uses correct c-band defaults
fixed: client mode now also takes extra buffering into account when receiving streams (if set it’s used for client side receive buffering).
fixed: some transcode profile interface inconsistencies.
added: ability to hide video status (main menu > view)
added: optional extra video status line showing video/audio type and simple record progress.
added: video process to connection settings dialog. This allows you to enter a filter like for example ‘ffdshow raw filter’ to process video.
added: alternate video decoder, based on name selection for now, if you have other suggestions please let me know. You can use this to for example select
a different decoder for HD compared to H.264 (by entering a name like ‘ HD’ or alike).
added: seperate h.264 ffmpeg record transcode command lines. So you’re able to differentiate between then when recording, on slower systems you H264 transcoding
speed is increased by using preset -superfast where possible. This might decrease recording quality in such cases though, remove it again if you don’t have
issues with the efficiency of these transcoding on your system. Please note that slower systems might simply have problems automagically transcoding some
recording types, if you’re system simply isn’t efficient enough for ffmpeg to transcode in real-time this might be unsolvable besides a quicker cpu.
fixed: HTTP streaming seemed to fail on some XP systems, added HTTP option to optimize http streaming which might allow such XP systems to stream correctly when enabled.
modified: HTTP internal caching reworked somewhat to try to make it more stable under various network conditions.
added: renderless video renderer.
modified: some changes to bdas.dev due to reports, some people seem to have some weird exceptions there sometimes.
If you experience worse/sluggish video or lockups at exit please let me know, i might need to revert these changes if it’s not for the better.
added: option to schedule task exit to close the dvb device (experimental might be unstable, /STOPDEV parameter added to smartexec.exe for this purpose).
fixed: some problems with audio process filter being added twice under some settings situations.
fixed: some additional bug report fixes/modifications.
added: basic initial HEVC support. Current known codecs which support HEVC are lentoid/LAV/latest cyberlink. Please note that some of these codecs are still quite
unstable and could result in application exceptions related to these codecs. HEVC is not implemented for PIP atm (seemed like overkill with just 2-4
available and unstable satellite HEVC streams)
fixed: main app status bar did not remain hidden if so requested on restart.

Re: Latest Version of SmartDVB

SmartDVB 0.4.0 RC available

_h p://www.smartdvb.net/sdvb/downloads/betatest-area/_


changelog:

v0.4.0 rc
added: timeout message for scheduled action start (30 seconds default value) added to schedule settings dialog.

modified: record all audio PID’s for transport stream recordings moved to record settings dialog and should now also be used for normal manual recordings (previously it only worked for scheduled recordings).

added: chroma subsampling (4:2:0, 4:2:2 etc) to the additional video status, needs testing.

modified: pressing the ‘play’/’pause’ keys now toggles play/paused state, previously it would remain at the chosen state.

fixed: timeshift pause did not work correctly (introduced bug). Some modifcations to timeshift code with regards to this.

modified: some addons interface calls modified (DoDiseqc doesn’t require the full channel data but instead uses the transponder and satellite structures, which is more appropriate not all channel data is needed by this call, this might break existing addons, but since there aren’t many yet i figured it wouldn’t be much of a problem. If you have build an addon you’ll need to rebuild with the current addon example headers to be sure)

modified: some setup changes. If you had undefined problems with upgrades previously please try again.

improved: osd timeshift button states (ff/play/pause didn’t always update button state correctly).

added: end time to add schedule task dialog (by requests).

improved: smartosd transparency slider settings is more verbose now (seemed unclear to some)

added: EIT event description on the main epg pane is now also shown in the edit field.

modified: by default dvb-t offset settings are not used (too many users seem to have issues with this). Added an option to the scanner dialog to specifically enable offset addition to the currently scanned dvb-t frequency.

improved: EPG ampersand “&” would be incorrectly translated to underscore at some places.

added: blindscanner option to disable retries when no data is received.

added: option to diseqc settings to not show ‘positioner moving …’ message when moving a positioner/rotor.

fixed: scanner bugfix where MIS values would not be shown correctly with a sort selected/active.

improved: some modifications to blindscan.dev to enable it to tune dvb-t/c (dvb-t tested).

fixed: bug which could occasionally cause a crash when using the diseqc console.

added: basic RF scanner. Only works with streamreader.dll supported devices so don’t try this otherwise won’t work.
Might be removed for final version if it causes too many issues. Added for testing/feedback.

updated: streamreader.dll to current 1.2.0.1202 version.

0.4.0 beta 2a hotfix

there’s a serious introduced bug with the current 0.4.0 beta 2 version. Here’s a quick release of a replacement SmartDVB.exe which should address this issue. The issue was related to a bugfix when parsing multiple EIT languages for a single station combination.

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51980102/smartdvb040beta2ahotfix.zip[/url]

This is a quick hotfix .exe replacement. I’ll add a new 040b2a setup/portable version lateron for the people who are weary of replacing application .exe’s
0.4.0 Beta 2

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/51980102/SmartDVB040Beta2.zip[/url]

This beta release has some urgent bugfixes which caused crashes with beta1 version, especially when switching devices etc.

Main addition this time is basic HEVC support.

Per request here’s a simple .ZIP archived portable version for people that don’t require or want the install. Just unpack this archive somewhere, run filters/registerfilters.bat to register the needed filters (run it with administrator privileges, on windows 7 right click on the file in explorer and select ‘run as administrator’). Run ‘filters/ unregisterfilters.bat’ to remove the registered filters registry entries from the system again if you don’t require smartdvb to be run anymore (optional of course).
