DVB-Application for DVB-Cards (XP/W2K only )
Supported Cards
- Premium-Cards:
SS1, Technotrend-Premium, Hauppauge Nexus (DVBs + DVBc)
- LowBudget-Cards: (Only tested by BetaTesters):
SS2, Pinnacle PCTVSAT, NOVA, TT-DVBc-Budget and Twinhan 102g/1020/1030A
IMPORTANT: RitzDVB comes WITHOUT any codec-setup for LowBudgedCards.
That means: If you have a LowBudgetCard you need working dvbcore-xgr-graphs which are based on registered codecs on your machine. The new AddOn-Wizard include some graphs, but as said the corresponding codecs are not included. (see manual chapter "LowBudgetCard HowTo" and "Other Remotes as SS1-RC5" for further Info about LowBudgetCards)
I wrote this application to watch&record for myself, so please do not write Wish or Bug Lists.
If you like my program you can use it, otherwise consider trying other dvb applications. Wink

RitzDVB FullPackage 0.8.1.3 - List of new features
RitzDVB
Full Firebird migration:
* new: A second Database MAIN.fdb was added which now includes Channel list, Favourites, Timers,..
The old formatted files channels.dat and FAV.dat, which you'll still find in db folder too, are now just mirrored files. These mirrored files in the db folder are automatically generated files from the Main-Database and are used for fallback if someone drops the main-database.
If you have some old formatted RitzDVB dat-files that you want to migrate into RitzDVB_0.8 you have to copy these files into the new "db\import\" folder. Only dat-files located in this folder will be imported and migrated into the new RitzDVB database format by next restart of RitzDVB.
Channellist:
* new: Completely new redesigned Channel list in Main window and EPG
* new: Free grouping, ordering, filtering, sorting, layout style of the Channel Tree
Channeleditor:
* new: Completely new redesigned Channel editor
* new: Channel logos can now easily assigned/imported/updated inside the Channel editor
* new: The new Grouping feature allows for simple deleting of whole Channel-Groups (e.g. group by a column of your choice, then select a group and press delete to remove all channels associated to the group
* new: The Channel type (TV, radio, data, TV crypt, radio crypt) is now a new column that can also be used as grouping criteria
* new: capability to create self-written filter-criteria
* new: ...and tons of additional new features you will simply find, by playing with the new Channel editor… Wink
Languag editor:
* new: Completely new & redesigned Language Editor
Scheduler:
* new: New: Support of recurring (repeated) timers
also the SendMsgToRitz param TIMER: was enhanced to include recurring data (see manual of SendMsgToRitz in folder \help)
Customizable Grids:
* new: under Options->Layout you can customize Layout of Editors, Channel list, and EPG to your own wishes. Don’t forget to save the Layouts as a file if you want a static change after the next restart.
* new: in the Channel list of the Main window and the EPG window you can create your own groupings, sorting, hiding of columns, and ordering of columns to your own wishes in the Tree of Channels. Don’t forget to save the Channel list settings for a static change(with right Click Menu). Please take care that the grouping & the sorting criteria are not saved in the predefined fixed Groups. Only in the "Custom Grouping" option will it save your personal group & sort criteria’s.
MISC:
* new: Quick info EPG grabs data as first from database to increase time of request
* new: Record File is now in shared status. means it can be played by e.g. VLC Player during recording.
* new: PID recorder
SendMsgToRitz
* new: recurring timers can also be created via SendMsgToRitz (see manual in help\SendMsgToRitz)
LogoFileMaker
* DROPPED: Due the enhanced features of the new Channeleditor inside RitzDVB there is no longer a need for the external tool LogoFilemaker. Channel logos can now be assigned easier in the RitzDVB Channeleditor.
