EmperoarTV change log --------------------- Version 1.08t ------------- - Support for Philips MK5 tuners - Improved stability on corrupt MPEG data - Avoid noise burst on PVR150/500 channel changes Version 1.08s ------------- - FM radio on PVR500MCE cards works now. - Support for Microsoft MCE remote control found in Hauppauge's "MCE Kits" (USB-attached IR receiver). This will also allow to use the Microsoft MCE Remote Keyboard. ATTENTION: You may need to replace USBUHCD.SYS and USBOHCD.SYS with the included versions ! - Support for the remote control transmitters that come with TechnoTrend's Budget DVB cards. - Scheduler allows execution of programs or scripts after recording completion. - Manually initiated recordings can now be finished automatically by specifying the remaining recording time and the file set name. - Menu item "Play/Video DVD" will play the largest title set on the first CD/DVD drive in the system, that has a video DVD media loaded. Version 1.08r ------------- - Increased volume in FM radio mode on PVR150MCE cards. - Philips MK3 compatibe tuners now set to "FM high sensivity". - New command line option -x to start GUI in full screen. - Video window will remain in full screen when switching between TV view and playback. - Full screen will be restricted to current head in SNAP overlay + multihead configurations. - Initial support for Onscreen Display functionality. (Hint: install InnoTek FontEngine to improve appearence) - "Recording schedule" dialog now shows end time as well. - Bugfix: File renaming / timezone problem on scheduled recordings. - Mouse scroll wheel will now only affect volume. Version 1.08q ------------- - Video digitizer / broadcast decoder is now powered down when card not in use. Note, that for cards equipped with CX23416 (iTVC16) idle power consuption and the associated heat generation can be reduced further by adding /P to the driver command line in CONFIG.SYS. This, however, will increase the startup time of the application. - Driver now supports raw PCM audio capture (even though currently not used by the application). - New driver option /F will cause a silent fail (no stop in CONFIG.SYS processing) when no card is found. - MPEG decoder now paused during channel change. This may improve channel change behaviour especially on PVR150/500 and MPG600 cards. - Support for tuner Samsung TCPN2121P30A and some models by TCL Corporation. - Transparent parts of GIF logos are now shown as white - Removed open/close "zoom" effect on application windows to avoid interaction with system sounds. - Double click on snapshot preview will open the system- defined picture viewer. - Bugfix: Avoid occasional bursts of static after channel change (PVR150/500 only). - Bugfix: Sound volume preserved after sample rate change within a file or errors in audio stream. - Bugfix: Audio sample rate adaption not working in FM mode. Version 1.08p ------------- - PVR150/500 produces 704x576 instead of 720x576 in PAL mode to remove these nasty black borders on left and right sides - Optimized filter settings for PVR150/500 in PAL mode - "Station name list" now has a context menu - Channel scan will assign default names to newly found stations - Bugfix: Tune menu in disabled state doesn't show station logos (depends on graphics card) - Bugfix: Remote control page in settings notebook showed CH0 for unassigned keys - Bugfix: Video window one pixel to narrow in 704x576 resolution - Bugfix: Access to SNAPOverlay now serialized Version 1.08o ------------- - From now on WarpIN will be used as installer - Support for Hauppauge WinTV PVR150, PVR150 MCE and PVR150 l.p. cards - Experimental support for the following cards: Hauppauge WinTV PVR500 MCE Yuan MPG600GR Rev1.1 (PAL B/G only, no NICAM !) - The following cards *MAY* also work: Yuan MPG150, MPG160 and MPG600 Rev1.0 Yuan PG600 Falcon 2 Diamond XtremeTV PVR550 Adaptec VideOh! AVC-2410 - User editable capture profiles - Logo selection dialog will now show file names - Fix for video window empty after minimize (SNAP Overlay) - Fix for logos in RLE24 bitmap format showing up black - Misc. minor bugfixes, new tuner models Version 1.08n ------------- - Tuner is now initialized on bootup to avoid RF interference due to undefined tuner state - Forced mono now stored on per channel basis and applies to scheduled recordings as well - Adapt to overlay mode changes in SNAP 3.07 Version 1.08m ------------- - Support for native SNAP 3.x overlays. Needs to be enabled in the settings notebook. For suitable hardware refer to README.TXT that comes with your copy of SNAP graphics.
