DVBLink TVSource v2

DVBLink v2 has a lot of improvements and new things comparing to v1.

Just to name a few:
- Simplified and unified user interface
- UAC compatibility
- Server side channel management
- Simplified MediaCenter channel synchronization

Just try it for yourself to see what it can do!

Several of things to know before you start testing our new DVBLink version:
- Network functionality - upnp server and network BDA drivers - is not included in this first beta release.
- DVBLink v2 cannot be installed on the same machine where DVBLink v1 is already installed. You need to uninstall it first.
- There are no tools now to migrate your channels from DVBLink1 to DVBLink2. You will have to re-synchronize the channels in MediaCenter (you may however copy your tvsourcesettings.xml to restore your scanned channels)
- There are no user manuals. It is done on purpose to see where the interface has to be improved.
- There are no controls to stop/start DVBLink Server. They are not needed anymore - just let DVBLink Server run. You may consider restarting it from the Control Panel only if things really go wrong.
- Do not turn off UAC. This version of DVBLink is compatible with it and will ask you kindly whenever it needs administrator rights
- You may configure all DVBLink tuners at once during TV Setup in MediaCenter
- Although we have spent quite some time testing it there still can be (and will be) bugs in the new products. So we do not recommend these installation for mission critical setups (the one that your wife is using for example )

DVBLink TVSource v2.0.0004

DVBLink v2 Release Candidate 1 is available!
The fact that it is RC now does not mean that there are no bugs in it It simply means that there will be no big features added before release.

What is new:
- Added RTP support for streaming. This should improve playback performance on unstable/weak networks. It is important to mention here that not all routers and switches support multicast (especially the old ones). Please check the specs of your network hardware if you have no signal using RTP.
- Added option for one of the MediaCenters to be a "default recorder". In practice it means that channel requests from this MediaCenter are guaranteed to succeed by DVBLink Server (even at the cost of other connected clients).
- Fixed the issue where sometimes channels where not found during scan (however DVBViewer does find them).
- Fixed the "No TV Signal" issue for server computer having more than one connected network card
- Fixed Terratec synergy not finding channels in v2.0.0003
- Fixed DVBLink TVServer not working after server has been in standby
- Made DVBLink configuration dialog resizeable


If you are running v1 of any of the enclosed products you have to uninstall them before installing this RC1 version.

If you are running previous beta of DVBLink v2, uninstall DVBLink Server Network Pack from the server computer before update! Do not worry - it will not erase you channel configuration on the server or on the clients. You will simply have to install DVBLink Network Pack again once update of the DVBLink Server and DVBLink products is completed.
Use bat files, enclosed in zip archive for update. This will update your binary files and will keep all your scanned channels and preferences.
Update the DVBLink Server first, followed by update of the installed products and network clients. You will have to enter again server IP address or host name after client update!

If you are installing this version from the scratch you need to install DVBLink Server first (DVBLinkServer.msi), reboot your computer when prompted and proceed with source product installation afterwards.

DVBLink TVSource v2.0.1 is available.


This version contains the following fixes and updates:
- Fix for FireDTV/FloppyDTV cards that unable to find services during scan
- Fix for Terratec cards, where DVBLink prevents system from going to standby
- Potential fix for all other tuner cards, reporting "0 services found" during channel scan
- Experimental simple diseqc implementation for Hauppauge sat tuners (let us know whether it works for you)

As usual if you are running previous DVBLink TVSource v2, use bat files, enclosed in zip archive for update. This will update your binary files and will keep all your scanned channels and preferences.

Only DVBLink TVSource was updated to a new version. There is no need to update DVBLink Server if you are running release version of it.

This update is not critical, meaning that if your DVBLink TVSource installation works and you do not have any of the symptoms described above, you probably do not need this update.

TVSource Preview with Diseqc 1.1 and 1.2 support!
We have released for testing today TVSource Preview application with Diseqc 1.1 and 1.2 support.

Diseqc 1.1 is supported as a selection of up to 16 LNBs on a single uncommitted switch. The LNB selection is done via Diseqc dropdown box on Headends tab of TVSource preview.

Diseqc 1.2 is supported in the form of custom diseqc commands. Headend tab contains a button (Diseqc commands...) that invokes a command editor. Each command consists of a name and a unique string with HEX command bytes. Each command byte should consist of exactly two HEX characters (for example E0 10 38 F0). Command can be up to 16 bytes long and the string can contain spaces for improved readability. Once added, each custom diseqc command will appear in the Diseqc dropdown box of each headend.
This dialog also contains tuning timeout value that will be used by TVSource to wait for motor to turn the dish.

At the moment TVSource supports sending of raw diseqc commands for the following tuner brands and their clones:
AnySee, Hauppauge, Technotrend, Technisat, TeVii, TBS, Twinhan

We would like to ask you to run DebugView utility from Microsoft in parallel to TVSource Preview to see what is actually going on. It will greatly help us to understand what is going on if the functionality will not work properly.

DVBLink TVSource with EPG scan - beta 2!

What is new/fixed:
- Network scan compatibility
- More reliable recognition of channel names
- Fixed several issues with parsing of EIT packets for some transport streams
- Added statistics for the scanned EPG data

Important!! You need to update dvblinkserver.exe prior to the installation of this new beta! To do this stop DVBlink Server Windows service and copy the dvblinkserver.exe from the zip file over your existing one (do not forget to make a copy of it). Then start DVBLink Server Windows service again.

Update your existing DVBLink TVSource installation using enclosed bat file or run msi file in case of new installation.

This beta has the ID of the EPG channels changed! This means that you need to go to EPG Sources tab of DVBLink Server Configuration utility and set the mapping of all channels mapped to eitscanner channels to None. Then press Ok button to close configurator. Then start configurator again, do the EPG scan and map channels again.

We have also seen that time to scan a single transponder can be as long as 2 minutes. So depending on the way how EPG data is sent on the transponders that you are using the scan may take anywhere between 2 and 15 minutes
