DVB-Application for DVB-Cards (XP/W2K only Exclamation )
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 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. (e.g. from an installed and working MyTheatre 3.xx)
In this case you can copy your working xgr-graphs into folder RitzDVB\Graphs
(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

"New Year Edition" 0.5.0.6 - 31.Dec.2004
* New: Audio-Mixersetting for Volume (in Softmode to assign the RitzDVB-volume to a mixerdevice of your choice)
* New: Audio-Mixersetting for Default by Startup (eg. to activate lineout or any other mixer-default-values by startup)
* New: Treelist in Desktop-EPG can grouped now by Ch,Provider,Sat,Favorits
* New: Events in Desktop-EPG can ordered now by Title-Click of each column (eg. to find repeatings of events)
* New: added language support for Desktop-EPG
* New: Back-function for osd-menu handling (RM34key=BACK,RM21key=RADIO)
* New: in OSD EPGDetaildescription added PageScroll (VOL+,VOL-)
* New: added Cancelled-Status to Timers (for manually stopped Timers)
* New: all SoftOSD now borderless and free sizeable! (Desktop software-OSD)
Setup the sizes/positions with simple drag/drop. RightClick menu in SoftOSD's to restore sizes.
Tip: If you have problems to catch the draging/size-cursors switch to SolidBkg-SoftOSD mode. (because in eg. transparent mode you'll have trouble to change sizes by draging frame *gg*)
* New: Enhanced SoftOSD-Modes. New Mode "Bitmap Background" (only for Desktop SoftOSD). See Options -> OSD
If there are some specific bitmaps located in RitzDVB-root, these bitmaps are used to fill the Background of SoftOSD in that mode.
The transparent color in bitmap is clFuchsia. (R:255,G:0,B:255)
You can use the included Bitmap-Samples as templates to create other nice Backgrounds. (But please let me know if you have designed some nice ones which are worth to include in further versions. Wink )
Bitmaps must put in root folder and the Filenames must named as:
BMOSD1_BK.bmp for the left upper OSD-Window which shows Numbers (e.g. if you change Channels with NumKeys 0..9)
BMOSD2_BK.bmp for the bottom center OSD-Window which shows Quick-Info (Info, Errors, Volume..)
BMOSD3_BK.bmp for the big center OSD-Window which shows the OSD-Menus
Also the bitmaps must have the correct sizes (see samples).
I included a few SampleSets and a Set with pure Transparentcolor (this Set you can use to make your own own Backgrounds)
Please note that the higher load of background-bitmaps in that mode maybe can call memory-locks on some specific machines/configurations.
* Corrected: DiSEqC1.2(Motor): RecordTimer now waits till Motorpos is reached
* Corrected: Freezing after switching from SoftOSD or SoftMode to HWOSD or HW-Mode (only by Premium Cards)
* Optic: Rerendered Main-RitzDVB-Icon for XP.
* New: Updated Languages:
-German by Ritz
