Thema: SmartDVB

[jackjavo]

there's nothing major changed/fixed since the 040 b2a hotfix so i have not bothered with a new beta or rc. Summertime's here in the Netherlands so i'm more outside at the beach and such these times, i try to make use of that since the summer has been a bit slow here until now so better make use of the few good days we have here (and still it's rather cloudy here, even these days).

thanx and enjoy

Hi jackjavo,

SmartDVB pops up an error message saying "Indice de grille hors limites". It pops up the message every second until some video is visible (then it stops). Do you have any clue what causes the message?

Cheers dh

[jackjavo]

i presume you have a french windows version hence that message. I'm not sure if it's even smartdvb related ('grid index out of range' or something alike). I read that some people got such messages from external apps like screensavers? If the message totally random or is there some logic as to when it appears (if you click or perform some action somewhere before tuning the first time, after which you mention it dissapears, do you see it more often or consistent after some click or whatever action?). Otherwise it's a difficult guessing game for me.

hi jack 
still very important to have an option that i can re-arrange channel in favorite by alphabet
and on a small window screen i can not view channel list with trouble of smart osd of satellite info and epg 

[jackjavo]

hi,
but you're able to drag/drop favorite channels, so if you want you can create alphabetically ordered favorites yourself. Or do you mean that's too much of trouble and you would like to see some option 'arrange favorites by alphabetical order' which would reset the order you created by drag/drop?

[ioosis]

yes i would like to see some option 'arrange favorites by alphabetical order' which would reset the order that i created by drag/drop
also on window mode i would like to see only  my channel list epg info nothing else
thx  brother

SmartDVB 0.4.0 RC

Whats new: >>

    Added:
        timeout message for scheduled action start (30 seconds default value) added to schedule settings dialog
        chroma subsampling (4:2:0, 4:2:2 etc) to the additional video status, needs testing
        end time to add schedule task dialog (by requests)
        EIT event description on the main epg pane is now also shown in the edit field
        blindscanner option to disable retries when no data is received
        option to diseqc settings to not show 'positioner moving ...' message when moving a positioner/rotor
        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

    Improved:
        osd timeshift button states (ff/play/pause didn't always update button state correctly)
        smartosd transparency slider settings is more verbose now (seemed unclear to some)
        EPG ampersand "&" would be incorrectly translated to underscore at some places
        some modifications to blindscan.dev to enable it to tune dvb-t/c (dvb-t tested)
        streamreader.dll to current 1.2.0.1202 version

    Fixed:
        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)
        pressing the 'play'/'pause' keys now toggles play/paused state, previously it would remain at the chosen state
        timeshift pause did not work correctly (introduced bug). Some modifcations to timeshift code with regards to this
        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)
        some setup changes. If you had undefined problems with upgrades previously please try again.
        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.
        scanner bugfix where MIS values would not be shown correctly with a sort selected/active
        bug which could occasionally cause a crash when using the diseqc console

Läuft richtig gut bisher ... ausprobieren lohnt sich

[Snoop]

Da sollte ich wohl eine Saubere Installation machen ... will aber nicht immer die Sender und Co verlieren ... 

[dada]

Ich hab's einfach auf die Beta drauf installiert, läuft ohne Probleme und alle Einstellungen erhalten. Habe troitzdem vorher eine Sicherungskopie gemacht...man weiß ja nie genau, was so passieren kann.

[jackjavo]

@Snoop: try the upgrade to test it (make sure you backup everything like dada mentions). I hope the upgrade process is somewhat better now but one never knows indeed.

[Snoop]

Did so and it seemed to work flawlessly!

Changes since v0.4.0 RC:

Fixed:

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

Just tried it and it's awesome!!! 

Highlight: UHD Channels working with HEVC Decoder support in 0.4.0

Unfortunatly my hardware is too old/slow. I get 1-2 fps on "Astra Ultra HD Demo" or "SES UHD Demo Channel", but the pictures are very clear and sharp. Processor load went up to 98 %. I don't have 4k Equipment, only 1920x1200 resolution. But it is great to see that it would work at all (and probably with new hardware). 

I used LAV Filters 0.63 for HEVC decoding. Setting Hardware Acceleration for my Geforce 450 gts with actual NVIDIA driver doesn't make any difference on the framerate or CPU load.

I will continue to play around with HEVC records (recorded in renderless mode) on systems with higher performance.
