DVBLink TVSource

DVBLink TVSource beta2.1.1!

There is quite a number of fixes and improvements. So please check whether your issues (if you had them with beta1) are resolved by simply trying beta2.

I would like to have a better structured problem reporting with this beta. Please start a new topic if you have a problem. If there is already topic with a similar problem - write there (e.g. do not start separate topic). If beta works for you or you have only minor problem(s) - you may write in this topic.

Do not forget to back up tvsourcesettings.xml of each of your existing TVSource instances before installing a new version!

Fixes and new features:
B2.1:
- Moved plugins to a separate external process, (hopefully improving stability of the whole system)
- Some updates for SkyStar HD2 and SkyStar USB2 HD cards

B2:
- Guide information from XMLTV is working
- Fixed PSI parser bug that caused not all services found during the channel scan
- Fixed incorrect transponder file parsing (strings with two commas after each other - ,,)
- Corrected genpix device detection for a new driver
- Fixed crash of dvb-t channels when no explicit bandwidth (7 or was specified in the transponder string
- Improved plugin support - plugins that have not worked with B1 should work now
- Updated transponder files

Remember that DVBLink TVSource does not implement common scrambling algorithm - if you need descrabling, you need to put CSA.DLL into Plugins folder of the TVSource source.

Also please test whether your card works properly with DVBLink TVSource using DVBLink TVSource Preview tool.

Known issue: some plugins may sometimes (in ~10% of cases) crash DVBLink TVSource on exit. This is the issue somewhere in the plugins themselves as they overwrite memory on exit.


Those, having beta 2.1 already installed, can avoid re-installation by downloading B21-to-B211 upgrade package:
-Simply copy the files from archive over the existing ones in DVBLink\Templates\Sources\TVSource and DVBLink\Sources\<All your TVSource sources>

DVBLink TVSource v2.0.0002

This release contains some small fixes:
- fixed memory leaks in bda.dev
- fixed HD channels not appearing in the tree under transponders and providers

The primary goal of this release is to prolong the validity period of the current trial version that expires in several days.
Due to holidays season we are a bit late with tests and development for v2, hence this intermediate release.

The zip file in V2 main topic is updated with this version.
Those already having v2.0.0001 of DVBLink TVSource installed should use the following zip file:

Do not uninstall the current version of DVBLink TVSource from your PC before installing the new one! It will erase all your channels!
Instead you have to run DVBLinkTVSourceUpdate.bat file. Once it is finished please do some extra manual steps:
- Stop DVBLink Service using Administrative Tools of Control Panel
- Copy TVSource.dll and TVSourceConfig.dll from dvblink2\templates\sources\tvsource to your TVSource sources in dvblink2\Sources\<TVSource source names> overwriting the existing files
- Start DVBLink Server again

- DVBLink TVSource 2.0


New version of DVBLink products has a huge list of improvement and new features comparing to the previous version. lmost every aspect of the program is improved - new easy-to-use user interface, improved reliability, compliance to UAC rules, increased number of supported tuner cards, network streaming to other MediaCenter computers to name just a few.

We would like to thank all our alpha and beta testers for their valuable input.

If you are running v1 of these products you have to uninstall them before installing v2 products. Owners of DVBLink TVsource v1 can save tvsourcesettings.xml of their sources and copy it to the correspondent directories of new sources. It will restore scanned channels and channel numbers. The channel selection and EPG mapping however has to be done again.

If you are running beta of DVBLink 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.
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!
