Veranderingen voor v0.4.0 - v0.5.0

  • 0.5.0 Release contains various fixes to DVB-T2 PLP handling and adds T2-MI support.
  • This version contains mostly stability improvements and various bug fixes. If you previously had problems with some devices or other stability problems, it's recommended to try the current 0.5.0 RC version. Some of the main changes are:
  • - overall improved stability.
  • - bda.dev fixes/improvements should be compatible with more devices now.
  • - HEVC compatibility improved, some current HEVC codecs do not seem enough yet and might cause crashes or freezes, if you have problems try the LAV HEVC decoder.
  • - improved blindscanner interface
  • - better video stability.
  • - audio A/B channel selection button to the graphical status bar.
  • - scheduler conflict detection and resolving.
  • - signal analyzer and monitoring including a constellation diagram.
  • - some timeshift changes should make timeshift more stable.
  • - Improved MDAPI compatibililty and fixes.
  • Improvements and fixes to DVB-T2 PLP handling. Added T2-MI satellite support to the normal scanner and channellists. Improved snapshot support and legacy VMR7 renderer support. New iconset which now also reflects H265 channels. Internal channellist resources moved to images/resources (treeview, scanner and blindscanner). Compact list mode added to graphical channellist. Also various othe fixes incorporated along the lines of previous 0.5.0 test versions.



Veranderingen voor v0.4.0 RC - v0.4.0

  • fixed: Scanner update would mark MIS entries with other ID incorrectly lost.
  • fixed: RF scan would not take into account other defined LNB's for the current satellite and incorrect LNB limits might be set also when blindscanning.
  • fixed: some more RF scan fixes/cosmetic issues.
  • fixed: tray icon record state would not always correctly indicate recording on/off.
  • fixed: issue where channel icons would not be shown correctly when SID's were shown in the channellist (only for service name based icons).
  • modified: some modifications to bda.dev tbs and autodetection code, might detect specific tbs devices (also tbs 6983) better now (thanks to steven).
  • fixed: some more fixes to scanner MIS parsing (thanks to alexi).
  • fixed: RF Scanner resource strings added (for translations).
  • fixed: MIS scan scanner (bda.dev) bug which could select the wrong mis when scanning (thanks once more to alexi).
  • fixed: sometimes a scheduled record would use the wrong EIT entry.
  • fixed: some cosmetic changes to record name defaults.
  • fixed: updated streamreader.dll to 1.2.2.1260
  • fixed: some minor fixes to the SmartOSD timeshift button toggles (remote now also should toggle between play/pause).



Veranderingen voor v0.4.0 Beta 2 - 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.



Veranderingen voor v0.4.0 Beta 1 - v0.4.0 Beta 2

  • 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.



Veranderingen voor v0.3.5 - v0.4.0 Beta 1

  • 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/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.



Veranderingen voor v0.3.5 Release test - v0.3.5

  • fixed: smartosd channel list (floating/fullscreen) seemed broken.
  • fixed: ms dtv-dvd video should connect better now (some other codecs like ffdshow might have less issues with no connection error messages sometimes too).



Veranderingen voor v0.3.0 RC - v0.3.0

  • corrected: some graph timeshift issues.
