* Fixed: 22 khz tone wasn't passed correctly in scanner. * Fixed: ctrl-click wasn't correctly selecting channels under windows 7. * Fixed: some changes to scheduler handling when restarting smartdvb through scheduler * Fixed: scheduler 'exit' option at end could also do a mistaken shutdown, fixed. * Added: diseqc delay and repeat options can be configured now through satellite settings dialog * Fixed: bug which could cause a crash in the connection dialog from the video popup menu. * Fixed: Restarting smartdvb from scheduler was not working all the time. * Added: added 16apsk/32apsk modulation support. * Added: New beta BDA driver supplied by user Florian and adapted by me. This will be the main driver in the future so prefer using this driver before using the old bdas.dev. Many thanks to him for his work. Please report any problems or success stories to me so we can improve this driver. There should be support in the driver for the following cards (many of which are untested so please report if you have a card working or not) -Twinhan/Azurewave - tested including ci -Hauppauge - unconfirmed -Technotrend - tested including ci -TeVii - unconfirmed -Prof cards - tested with some prof cards, includes support for latest advancetune cards (untested) -TBS - untested -Comppro - unconfirmed -Conexant - unconfirmed -FireDTV - unconfirmed -Omnicom - unconfirmed -DVBWorld - unconfirmed -Genpix - confirmed, should also work with genpix.dev -QBOX - unconfimed * Added: visual studio 2010 is now used this means that older operating systems like windows2000, me, 98 will not work anymore from this version onwards * Fixed: Fullscreen freeze on windows 7 when using EVR should be fixed now. * Fixed: Snapshots were not working correctly with all renderers, should be fixed now. * Added: basic CI support, will only work with new bda.dev device. Technotrend/twinhan tested, firedtv untested. * Added: Automatic device restart to device dialog, so no need anymore to restart application when selecting another device. * Added: rolloff/pilot settings to new bda.dev. * Fixed: crash which could sometimes happen in codec add dialog * Added: Initial atsc support to parser (only tested for atsc 8vsb terrestrial for now (many thanks to majortom for helping me on this) * Added: DVB-T transponder lists for various countries including offset support from the ini lists. * To accomodate for more dvb-t lists in the future ranges 10000-20000 are added and reserved for dvb-t lists. * Added: DVB-C transponder lists for various countries. * Added: ATSC QAM cable lists, QAM functionality untested for now. * Added: Basic ATSC eit (guide) processing. * Added: Many internal changes to speed up tuning, including quick directshow connect option which should not clear the screen anymore. * Added: Some EVR optimizations on the graphs, when selecting 'do not stop directshow graph with EVR' no more black screens on EVR win7. Experimental so if you experience any channel image problems or program freezes while this is on turn it of and see if it works again. Please report any problems you encounter with this setting on EVR (and also other renderers).I've encountered some issues in testing this mode with various codecs which become unstable in this mode (coreavc h264, divx h264, nvidia mpeg2 in some cases, please report any issues with codecs or otherwise you encounter in this mode. * Fixed: Main satellites combobox was not showing scrollbar with more than about 30 satellites added. * Added: tune repeat option to skystar.dev device settings. This seems to work better for SkyStar USB 2 HD. * Also 8psk modulation was not accepted by the driver so the skystar usb card woult not tune 8psk, fixed now. * Fixed: some changes to timeshift handling in hopes of making it more stable. * Fixed: general changes to make application quitting more robust. * Fixed: changes to main panel epg handling to prevent deadlocks. * Fixed: Changes to mdapi filter handling to prevent removing filters accidentally. * Added: Option to save records as guide name (if available). * Fixed: Some fixes to the sat ini import routines to support changed formats (dvb-s and such). * Fixed: Some changes to the smartav source filter to make graph stopping more robust.
Fixed: installer issues when installing vs2005 redistributable sp1, reverted to the plain non sp1 version as this seemed to cause some issues. Also should include a check now if the redistributable is already installed. Just to prevent any issues remove the previously installed redist if installed with 0.2.1 beta 1.Fixed: scheduling through the epg failed for some users, hopefully fixed.*Please remove the previous 0.2.1 if installed otherwise the install will fail ofcourse (your settings should be preserved, although just in case make a backup of your smartdvb.db if your current channel/sat list is precious to you). Also would like to know if the install is okay for users using xp 64 bit.
* Fixed: issue where when selecting another device the initial reloading of the channel didn't work correct the first time.* Added: Simple support for device auto-detect and switching on channel changes (single dvb-s/c/t atsc device auto switch supported). Only tested switching dvb-s and dvb-t devices.* Fixed: scheduler records were failing if guide event name was used as filename and a channel change was required.* Added: DVB subtitles support, needs testing please report any issues (only visible with vmr/evr renderers). You'll need to rescan for dvb subs to show up.* Added: Some interface changes as it's not necessary anymore to maintain compatibility with pre xp systems.* Fixed: more scheduler fixes, when restarting application through scheduler correct channel was not always selected.* Fixed: some optimizations to the channel list handling which should speed up the loading of expanded channel lists.* Fixed: an mdapi issue with mdplug not working correctly (maybe will also allow more plugins to run better).* Fixed: some robustness changes.* Added: some twinhan/azureware specific settings for tuning and diseqc to bda.dev (Florian) if you find your card works with other settings than the default please be so kind to let me know which settings worked for you so i can update the auto-tuning code and in such case also send me your bda.log (in the devices directory) so i can see the excact name of your card.* Added: fullscreen option on startup (actually after the first successful tune this will be done).* Fixed: crc check retries when scanning. This might help when scanning low signal transponders.* Added: additional time in minutes (under record options) for scheduled tasks. These will be automatically added/substracted when adding a task through epg.* Added: username/password schedule option. Although for now it seems you should always schedule your tasks with win7 as the admin account as smart still needs to be run as administrator. For scheduling to work for any user under win7 using the ms task scheduler i will have to update the app to run under any user in the future or create my own task scheduler.* Fixed: problem with large sized timeshift buffers.* Added: basic UDP streaming to vlc and maybe other players that support this. Only tested with vlc please let me know your findings with this if you try it.* Fixed: Language handling changed to allow usage of translation of older versions. If resources in the used language dll are out of date the app will default to the .exe resources. Not 100% sure i've got everything covered here so let me know if you encounter problems.* Fixed: some changes to epg handling.
v0.2.1 beta 4 (beta version bumped up because internal build was mistakenly released as beta3). Fixed: issue where when selecting another device the initial reloading of the channel didn't work correct the first time. Added: Simple support for device auto-detect and switching on channel changes (single dvb-s/c/t atsc device auto switch supported). Only tested switching dvb-s and dvb-t devices. Fixed: scheduler records were failing if guide event name was used as filename and a channel change was required. Added: DVB subtitles support, needs testing please report any issues (only visible with vmr/evr renderers). You'll need to rescan for dvb subs to show up. Added: Some interface changes as it's not necessary anymore to maintain compatibility with pre xp systems. Fixed: more scheduler fixes, when restarting application through scheduler correct channel was not always selected. Fixed: some optimizations to the channel list handling which should speed up the loading of expanded channel lists. Fixed: an mdapi issue with mdplug not working correctly (maybe will also allow more plugins to run better). Fixed: some robustness changes. Added: some twinhan/azureware specific settings for tuning and diseqc to bda.dev (Florian) if you find your card works with other settings than the default please be so kind to let me know which settings worked for you so i can update the auto-tuning code and in such case also send me your bda.log (in the devices directory) so i can see the excact name of your card. Added: fullscreen option on startup (actually after the first successful tune this will be done). Fixed: crc check retries when scanning. This might help when scanning low signal transponders. Added: additional time in minutes (under record options) for scheduled tasks. These will be automatically added/substracted when adding a task through epg. Added: username/password schedule option.

Fixed: problem with large sized timeshift buffers. Added: basic UDP streaming to vlc and maybe other players that support this. Only tested with vlc please let me know your findings with this if you try it. Fixed: Language handling changed to allow usage of translation of older versions. If resources in the used language dll are out of date the app will default to the .exe resources. Not 100% sure i've got everything covered here so let me know if you encounter problems. Fixed: some changes to epg handling. Including some more iso processing for among others turkish /arabic/hebrew/greek and some more. Fixed: Signal measuring in bda.dev changed somewhat and some fixes to the direct tuning. Added: ffdecsa internal decoding now, no more need for ffdecsa.dll. Still need to fine-tune this. If you can please report if this is still as efficient as previous versions concerning cpu usage etc. Decided to do this as ffdecsa.dll was causing problems on win 7 system as it sometimes did not load for unknown reasons. Added: multi monitor support (for main, floating and fullscreen mode), needs testing. Added: force lnb power on/off on device startup/close, useful at least for prof cards, only implemented in bda.dev (Florian). Fixed: some more fixes to epg iso handling. Fixed: bugfix in diseqc handling with commited/uncommited switches. Added: app can now be started with scheduler command line parameters (see task info for scheduler task for command possibilities) Fixed: some fixes to dvb subtitles handling for polish streams. Fixed: some issues with vplug not working properly in some cases. Fixed: some changes to commited diseqc handling. Diseqc option 'send diseqc on each channel change' has been changed to 'send diseqc on each transponder change'. If you use commited switches and have problems switching during scanning please turn this option on and see if things work better. Many thanks to moonlight for his help during testing. Fixed: moving timeshift buffer and starting mpg recording was broken, hopefully fixed now. Changed: diseqc handling on add sat dialog when seleting the goto sat option has been changed to also reflect any settings correctly. Added: tevii implementation using the tevii sdk to bda.dev, including remote. This will be used for standard as well as direct tuning as it should be the fastest with tevii cards anyway. Fixed: some longstanding issues with inserting the null filter (for osd viewing when no channel is able to be loaded) no header found messages.Let me know your findings with this. Fixed: some changes to the old osd filter and also some 'no header' messages which could result from using this. Decided to look at this old filter i made as it perhaps can be used for 3d support (although it will produce high cpu in such case as no dxva support for h264 is there yet). Added: if null filter configured smart will try to show it also on radio channels now so the song name and signal can be seen and osd operations can be done. Changed: some changes to ts recording including stripping the saved PAT (previously the entire original PAT was saved, this might make the ts records more compatible with more players, hopefully this doesn't break anything). Changed: tried to remove all dependencies to older visual studio libraries. Just in case the setup.exe installs the vs 2010 runtime libraries, but i hope this will not be needed and you simply can install the .msi Fixed: Some more fixes to multimon support due to user reports.
Here's the 0.2.1 beta 5, after a summer break. Quite a lot of fixes and changes due to reports etc.Remember to mainly use the bda.dev module (old bdas.dev hasn't been updated in a while,although i could update that module in future, for now the focus lies on bda.dev so only usebdas.dev if it works better somehow for u, usually it won't). And if you report problemsit's handy to at least try to mention where and in what situation it occured (not like"the scanner crashes", otherwise i have no clue, oh and pictures say a thousa$$$ words don''tthey say?) and remember to copy smartdvb.log and bda.log (in the devices dir) as that canalways come in handy for me.HereĀ“s the changelog for this beta version:v0.2.1 beta 5Fixed: skystar.dev was having some issues with older 2.3 cards.Fixed: null filter changes had broken radio channels when not using that filter, sorry.Fixed: teletext subtitle pages parsing was not detecting pages correctly. Also bydefault the detected subtitle page will be shown in the select subpage dialog.Fixed: some changes to discontinuity handling. Looks to improve playing low qualitystreams with at least the cyberlink codecs for me, let me know your findingsif you can.Fixed: some EPG handling fixes.Fixed: Some more scheduling fixes to prevent failed (small file size) records.Fixed: some changes to stream state handling, might prevent freezes when graph isin transitive state when changing monitors etc.Fixed: Updated tbs cards support to include latest cards, tested (on xp) with a TBS 6922DVB-S2 PCI-E bli$$$can card and seems to work fine. If you have a tbs card that doesn'twork correctly let me know. Some bli$$$can support will probably be added inupcoming versions, didnĀ“t want to do it yet as i want to get this version out asap.Added: Support for anysee devices to bda.dev, untested.Added: Channel reload option to video popup menu.Changed: Reworked the scanner dialog again a bit to show more channels/messages.Fixed: mouse hiding in evr fullscreen mode was not working all the time.Fixed: putting main window on top at startup was not working correctly.Fixed: Fullscreen mode at startup was not working correctly in combination with the multimon code.Tried to fix this, needs testing.Fixed: Many changes to the multimon code, also needed to rework the fullscreen/floating code.Looked almost ready in beta 4 but proved to be a real problem as stress-testing it(multiple mon changes) always resulted in an unstable renderer (and thus smartdvb)and i simply could not find this issue.This is still the main reason why this beta 5is there so if you could test this and report problems i'll try to get the final 0.2.1out asap and move on to other things.Added: Support for textual dvbsubtitles. Untested.Fixed: window maximize button was not working anymore.Changed: updated allsats.txt and european satellite transponder lists (.ini) thanks to cjcr.Added: new transponder sync option in scanner dialog using satfeeds.info. This will synchronizewith bli$$$canned transponder lists supplied by cjcr.Added: option for extra transport stream buffering in general options.Fixed: a bug when minimizing the app to the taskbar (not tray) and closing it from there,correct window positions were not saved in such situation (thanks to cjcr for finding this).Fixed: The goto sat button in the add frequencies dialog was not working correclty anymore dueto recent diseqc changes.Changed: some changes to bda.dev to make cards like tbs6925 work (scan on these cards was producinga hang). Many thanks to mr orbita for his help and information on this.Changed: added sat name to properties dialog caption so when on favs you also know whatsat the channel is on (thanks to cjcr for pointing this out).Fixed: Added some extra H264 checks mainly to fix BBC HD channels aspect ratio's, maybe thisalso works for other HD channels with broken start aspect?. Not sure ifthe sequence parameter set etc parsing is entirely correct here as i seem to seestrange values (like PicWidthInMbs of 1 etc, and also no VUI parameters, can't find that describedin standards, so i hacked a bit around it? only for the HD high profile though have never seenlow res h264 streams here)Added: Added snap to edges for main/floating as i find that handy and it also had been requestedquite a bit.Added: A version number to settings.ini to check for specific upgrade actions in future. Due to multimonchanges the logic in the windows coordinates could fail when installing from 0.2.1 beta 5 onwards overprevious versions. This is not a bug but the window is simply hidden using wrong coordinates.If you still have this after install remove the window coordinates from settings.ini (in settingsdirectory), These are the values to remove : [Startup]windowx=86windowy=62windowwidth=1428windowheight=929And the app should startup with some default windows coordinates that are visible.Don't remove the '[startup]' btw , and neither the version number anytime.Changed: Some changes to smartavsrc.ax (codecs like LAV now work reasonable (sometimes video freezes with EVRquick connect options turned on, nothing that a reload doesn't solve, for me also in sync).Added: Added 'show satellite name before favorite name' option to the channel list properties dialog (usefulif All sats are selected).Changed: Some more safeguards built in just in case the problems with tbs cards could cause problems forother cards.Changed: layout of some dialogs.Added: the main window can now be moved on other surfaces besides the window caption.Fixed: bug when selecting none as group and provider as sort in channel list properties(thanks to a user whose nick i don't know who reported thisChanged: scanner has problems with some users sometimes, might be timing problems on fast scanning/tuning ina row so quite some changes there to try to make it more robust. It might be prudent to adda configurable delay before tuning the next transponder to the scanner so userscan finetune this.Fixed: mouse hiding wasn't working correctly anymore on other renderers (i test mainly on EVR nowadays,tested on vmr9 now too).Fixed: parsing of some transponder .ini files failed on 16apsk/32apsk modulations.Changed: some changes in bda.dev as some video problems may stem from there. Remade the sync codein bda.dev as it was somewhat different than for example bdas.dev has and for mebdas.dev seemed to produce more stable picture as that also works better with my prof7500.Changed: now modulation is also shown in the frequency list sync dialog.Fixed: again some mouse problems (mouse dissapearing and such) when using vmr9 renderer.Changed: some more work on continuity of stream in smartdvb and bda.dev to try to makethe video run smoother with some codecs on broken streams.Changed: some more changes, hopefully tbs cards still work okay now as i reverted some of thechanges there as some delays were maybe causing glitches even on fta channels withwhich smart never had much problems lately.Changed: vmr osd showing is now delayed until some video is in (before it could dissapeartoo quickly if no video was received for a while after the tune).changed: some more changes to multimon especially for vmr9. One tester experiences errormessages (decidebuffer) on xp using vmr9. So if you experience that too please report thisas then i'll make this a priority.changed: some general robustisation, or at least i hope in the long run, also in the tuningprocess and more bda.dev changes.changed: removed the installation of the vs2010 redistributable package from the setup asinstalling the msi should be enough.Added: lav decoder to filters.ini for setup.
Fixed: memory leak in streamreader. Changed: some small changes to smartavsrc.ax (better codec compatibility especially ffdshow/lav i hope). Fixed: some small fixes (float on top was not ok all the time, volume at install is not set to 0 anymore, but 30). Fixed: tuning process was in some situations not stopping graph when so indicated with EVR.With this working correctly and turned off (do not stop evr graph quick connect settings) codecs like ffdshow and lav seem to work more stable although not perfect (safest option especially for ffdshow it seems, as lav seems to run more stable, is to turn both quick connect options off (will result in slower channel changes but safer with these codecs). Fixed: after recent changes fullscreen at startup was not working (again). Fixed: scrolling the channel treeview with the mouse-wheel was not working anymore when mouse-wheel volume changing was enabled. While i was at it also made other scrollable components in the main interface scrollable in such cases (satellite combobox and EPG listview). Fixed: scanner was showing odd 0 characters sometimes. Fixed: moving the mouse (pressed) in fullscreen mode was changing window size (bug related to recent snap-to-edges changes). Changed: some optimizations to bda.dev/smart to try to make ts processing somewhat faster (not sure if it makes a difference, if you notice lower/higher cpu with sd/hd in same config as before please let me know. Should not affect stream quality. Fixed: tab order in scanner/sat settings dialog (and some more). Changed: some changes to channel update processing (frequency offset to try to prevent double channels and some Changes to sr handling to also try to prevent unnecessary duplicates, especially handy when bli$$$canning and frequencies can change a lot). Also added frequency offset to scanner settings, these will be used when processing the channels. Changed: all crc checking is enabled by default now on new installations. Added: basic Bli$$$can interface for CrazyCat streamreader.dll. Make sure to select the crazycat module as device interface (bli$$$can.dev). It's not totally functional yet, only included it for testing now (maybe i'll remove it for release depe$$$ also on input if it works a bit).Only one sat scanning has been tested somewhat by me and channel updating might be buggy so make sure you make a copy of your smartdvb.db before testing this. Streamreader.dll must be in the main smartdvb install directory (installed by installer, but you can always replace this with newer versions hopefully). Changed: Settings dialog layout/style. Added: Some more changes to channel update processing to try to prevent duplicates i was seeing after some weeks of use.Let me know if you feel you're loosing channels, in any case if you want no extra processing set the frequency offset in scanner settings to 0. Added: EVR delay to directshow settings. In some cases this might help prevent freezes with some codecs during my tests.Note i've tested ffdshow/lav in win7 and they seem to run with me now for lav to not freeze sometimes it's best to stop the evr graph (so turn the 'do not stop EVR graph..." OFF if you have lav issues and also in my tests it was best to not use the high quality settings in the LAV decoder and to use hardware decoding (CUDA LAV acceleration) to make sure you don't have audio/video sync issues, ffdshow at least with me has less problems it seems with fast EVR switching. Other codecs like coreavc also seem to work better. Added: reload video on freeze option to directshow settings. Not been able to test this much yet. Added: internal test only for disk-fullness on records (1 gb check now, untested, will make this configurable for release) Changed: new icon set with 24bit (old ones were from xp times 256 colors). Added: option to osd vmr/evr to remove recording osd indicator or volume indicators. Added: Record icon to status bar on main window. Fixed: QAM256 modulations were not working correctly with bda.dev (Florian) Changed: some changes to scanner, no signal saving/selecting among others. Changed: main window epg look. Added: always auto-expand channel list option (much-requested). Fixed: some bugfixes and additions to bli$$$canner. Changed: some settings dialogs layout changes.
