Thema: SmartDVB 0.5.0.51 RC3

[jackjavo]

Hi my german friends.  There's a new 050rc version available on the site,  sorry for the longer delay this time but had a bad personal summer i needed to recover from

This version does not add many features but has internal changes to improve video stability also on longer runs and overall app respnsiveness should be better due to changed signal handling plus many fixes also from older parts of the app,  did some refractoring of some parts which took lots of time to test

Hi jackjavo , good to see you back  ... and thanks for the new smartdvb version 

[jackjavo]

thanks silencer good to see you're also still going with dvbcube. Did you have a change to look at the current version, should be  more stable and recognise more devices (also on w10)

[SiLæncer]

Yes , i think i can do this in the next few days .

[SiLæncer]

First look : I had to start smartdvb ´as administrator´ in order to start my devices. Scanning channels was fast and good (Florian Device) .Then i played around with codec and renderer setings ... thats all ... running fine with no further problems atm ...

Hello Jack
good to read from you after a while. Just came back from a long stay in France, Will test your new version during the coming days. I had to start SDVB as admin since your later versions already, but that is of course no problem. Will report my experience.

[jackjavo]

hi thanks! are you both talking about needing to install as admin whilst having installed the application data in the local app data folder, on win10? If using the secondary install option to install in ' program files' (but can be any other directory for that  matter) admin is always necessary.

[SiLæncer]

i used the secondary install option (data in normal programm folder -> ' program files )

Hi again ... after some days with the new version i can say that it runs absolut stable on Windows 10 

[Snoop]

Darn! Did not see that thread until now ... downloading

Hi, I was busy for a couple of days.
I also installed using the second option and admin was required to run SDVB in W10. No complaints from my side for now. Runs smoothly.

[jackjavo]

Hi

There's a new install rc2 which might fix that admin issue.
Been reading about new dvb-t2 developments in germany,  does this include plp (multistream)  selection and is this already testable there with normal bda t2 sticks?

Hi Jack,

I did not find a suitable DVB-T2 HD stick yet, without having to spend a real fortune...

STBs can be found everywhere, for slightly above 40€ without decrypting, or around 70€ with decoder.
For sure I would not be willing (nor able) to pay more than that, for a stupid USB stick (or PCI-e) device! 

And of course I would not go for a tuner, that is not specified for the German market.
For example, I do have a small Tokai LCD TV from around 2012, that came with a DVB-T2 tuner ready for the French market, but this one does not even find the one now active transponder over here.

My new XORO HRT 7620 STB is working fine, but it won't provide me with full technical data on the transmissions.
Nothing to be found but frequency and tuning raster, plus byte rate during recording.

So, sorry I can't run any tests with German DVB-T2 HD on the computer for now.

Hi Jurgen,

Good to hear from you again btw.  I gathered as much from what i read here (need to brush up on my german reading skills for sure) ,  no dvb-t2 here in my country so no other option than to try to test such things remotely. I kind of envy you there getting to play with these new techs.  For sure there might appear some cheaper dvb-t2  devices for the German market in the future. Been having lots of requests for this lately  hence my queries. There are some t2 satellite muxes though (t2-mi) i can get, seems some providers distribute entire MPLP streams  through multistream sat frequencies,  but not real useful for dvb-t2 testing in any case.

Hopefully just a matter of some time until such cheaper usb stick options become available. Lets hope they use standard defined interfaces for their bda drivers

Btw the current version looks quite good stability wise also for the various test HEVC streams that can be received on sat now.

Best regards
Jack

Hi Jack,

i just installed SmartDVB 0.5.0.51 RC3. My first impression: It runs much better than 0.4 on Windows 10 overall. Very awesome, especially for Ultra HD channels.

Installation was also great. All settings from 0.4 were adopted automatically without any problems.

Thank you very much! Great work!
