Thanks so much, I can't wait to get home to try this out. It looks fantastic.

[mod]

Is it only for Windows or also other OS are supported?

[Jekill]

Very, very beautiful...!

Thanks, Dreamer...I'm just gonna try it.

One question, only. How would you consider it, in comparison with programs such as:

1. DVB-Viewer
2. ProgDVB
3. Mediaportal

I haven't tried'em yet, but I know them being the top in their category, nowadays.

THX :cool:

[Dreamer8]

Is it only for Windows or also other OS are supported?
Windows only AFAIK.

Very, very beautiful...!

Thanks, Dreamer...I'm just gonna try it.
You're welcome. :)

One question, only. How would you consider it, in comparison with programs such as:

1. DVB-Viewer
2. ProgDVB
3. Mediaportal
1. First, it's not free, I tried it, older version, but I had some problems with it...
2. It was my first DVB player, I had various problems with it, mainly with recording, but also with receiving some channels (that worked good with other players), also I miss some features there. Now (in DVB Dream) I miss just timeshift, but it's planned for the future.
3. I didn't try it yet.

I tried many other DVB players, but DVB Dream is the best for me, there is no other DVB player with all features I need and so easy to use, with simple and intuitive interface...

DVB Dream is still under development, it's not completely bug free (but du you know any bug free software? ;) ), I didn't find any critical bug, it works very well with my Skystar 2. Version 1.X has been completly "reworked" - it has "Native device support", therefore some old modules don't work (yet), but many new features has been implemented.

Author is now working on some bugs and new devices support, also on HDTV (H264) support - I have SS2 - so DVB-S only, but I can confirm that H264 works good.

Visit "our" (I'm a mod there) forum for more information.

[Jekill]

Excellent...I just needed to know your experience. ;)

I have to thank you very much, your informations were really useful for me.
So...see you in the forum. :cool:

[Dreamer8]

DVB Dream 1.3 has been released. Soooooo many new features added, more DVB cards supported, you can find all info needed in the first post, above, check it out!

- BDA support (Limited DISEQC support* because of BDA restrictions!)
- Timeshift (ram + disk cache)
- Network Scan (No need to update INI files anymore! New tp lists are gathered from the stream)
- New quick favourites system (works on chlist general tab, faster access to favourites)
- MDAPI plugin interface is now more compatible. (now it can detect Provider IDs, no need to use "Auto PMT" option on plugins and OnExit() bug fixed)
- LAN streaming added (Options->Preferences->LAN Streaming)
- Changes in record manager to prevent excessive cpu usage on slow disks (No high CPU usage during MPG record anymore !)
- Aspect Ratio options improved (supports embedded AR modes)
- Cropping (Vertical/Horizontal zoom) added
- "Return to default options" menu item added (in main menu->File)
- TS-record improved. Now possible to record ECM, EMM, Teletext and all audio pids.
- Now DD can load the plugins from \plugins root folder and possible to use subfolders inside \pipxx (e.g. \plugins\pip00\mdttx\mdteletext.dll)
- Some interface customizations for DVB-T and C
- Performs better during channel changes using keyboard and RC.
- Snapshots are now saved in JPG format instead of BMP.
- Sleep timer added (Main menu->File->Sleep Timer)
- Displays chroma format in status bar (4:2:0/4:2:2/4:4:0)
- New option to report channel frequencies in short format (just press CTRL + ALT + C keys on any channel) e.g. "13.0°E 11766,V,27500 RAI1 (RAI) 4:2:0"
- Module: Momette's DVBEPG module update for latest DD included !
- Module: X05's New module, CHLTools, capable to assign SID numbers as Ch.Numbers in remote list and capable to auto assign EPG/LCN channel numbers to remote list (this might be quite handy if you are following the schedules published by provider!) and CHL optimization features.
- Module: Signal Display included (to adjust your dish, signal levels are indicated by voice!)
- Module: Level log included (stores signal levels in a file with periodic samples)

Version Notes:
- BDA DVB-S devices : It needs device specific codes for Diseqc an CI support since BDA specification doesnt support diseqc and CI. Some of device specific diseqc are implemented and some might be implemented in next versions. If you have any information on how to implement Diseqc support on your BDA device , please let me know. I will try to implement necessary code in DD.
- There is a new popup menu item "Add to Quick Favorites" in channel list right-click menu.
- It is possible to change Timeshift buffer size and enable/disable it in options/prefences/timeshift.
- Now one click channel change possible on remote tab. You should enable Drag&Drop using right click menu to re-order channels.
- Channel list file format changed (no need to worry for your customized channel list, if there is already a old version CHL, DD takes a backup of old CHL and upgrades it to new format itself)
- If you see duplicated items in the plugins menu, make sure you don't have the same plugins in \plugins root and \pipXX folders.
- There will be experimental BDA changes in this version and following versions, so your device might not work with an update, in that case please report.
- Now CoreAVC H.264 can work on DD again.
- Timeshift shorcuts:
PAUSE = start timeshifting
CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT = rewind (5%)
CTRL + SHIFT + RIGHT = forward (5%)
CTRL + SHIFT + UP = goto start
CTRL + SHIFT + DOWN = goto end (live)

- Aspect Ratio / cropping shorcuts:
NUMPAD (*) = Toggle aspect ratio modes
NUMPAD (/) = Fit (Stretch and cancel zoom)
CTRL + NUMPAD (+) = Horizontal zoom in
CTRL + NUMPAD (-) = Horizontal zoom out
SHIFT + NUMPAD (+) = Vertical zoom in
SHIFT + NUMPAD (-) = Vertical zoom out

- CHLTools v1.0 (by X05):

This module has the ability to give channels a number based upon their SID. The logical channel number files should be located in the modules folder. Some LCN file for providers are already included such as:- Canal Sat France, Digital+ (Astra), DigitAlb, Digiturk, Nova, Sky Italia, Sky UK, TV Cabo. Compatible with DvbDream v1.3
Export Remote - Makes LCN file based on current satellite.

- SID -> Chid - Copy SID to Channel No

- CHid -> SID - Copy Channel No to SID

- Save CHL - Manual save
- Clear CHids - Clears all channel numbers in CHL file.
- Clear Favs - Clears all favs in CHL file
- Process - Use selected package to update CHids
- Backup CHL - Creates dated backup of CHL file.
- Delete TV/Radio - Deletes from all satellite or current satellite
- CHL statistic - Totals of TV/Radio/Data per satellite

[CruNcher]

Does it support DVB-S2 yet like DVBviewer ?

[oddball]

Does not work with my Kworld DVB-T220. I can add it as a terrestrial device. I can even scan for channels. But it never finds any channels. I had the same problem with ProgDVB and DVBViewer. I can scan but it never finds any channels. Only the included Hypermedia software that came with the card seems to find channels.

[blubberbirne]

Very, very beautiful...!

Thanks, Dreamer...I'm just gonna try it.

THX :cool:

DVBViewer is the best at the moment. Best Support, and most features. HTPC Inclusive :D

DVBDream is to buggy at the moment. BDA Modul is very instable. Channel Scan crashed by many users.


1. First, it's not free, I tried it, older version, but I had some problems with it...


I think you used some crappy cra... version ;) Full Version works 100 Stable :devil:

[Mug Funky]

@ oddball:

thanks for posting... i was getting excited with the BDA support, but i have a similar card to yours, so i guess i wont get my hopes up.

main reason i wanted other software - deinterlacing is stuck on in the clumsy software that came with the K-world card, and since i installed _something_ ages ago, the card simply wont find anything but blackness.

i'll still try this software when i get the chance though.

[Dreamer8]

Does it support DVB-S2 yet like DVBviewer ?
Reply from DVB Dream author:

"all DVB-S2 devices with BDA drivers should work in theory, but I didnt get any "success" report from users yet. / not tested.

I will make a detailed list on the site for supported cards soon, with detailed models and + / - of the device interfaces."

[Dreamer8]

DVBDream is to buggy at the moment. BDA Modul is very instable. Channel Scan crashed by many users.
DVB Dream supports BDA (officially) just few days, it works very stable with my Skystar 2.

If you have any problem, question, or you found a bug, please visit the official DVB Dream forum (http://www.dvbdream.org/forum/index.php?sid=2596294b017536a42efd0972a357c17d).

DVB Dream supports BDA (officially) just few days, it works very stable with my Skystar 2.[/URL].
SkyStar 2 isn't BDA.

I have used it for a while and use it for recording HD streams with my SS2, but use DVBviewer the rest of the time. Although I havn't got the new version yet, the others have been crash happy and the UI isn't for me.

[oddball]

I do not know why but my Kworld DVB-T220 is shown in DVB Dream (Also in ProgDVB and DVBViewer) and scans for channels but in all of them NEVER finds any channels. There must be something odd with the DVB-T220 driver. I updated to the latest from their website. I am wondering if I should try the driver on the CD instead.

[oddball]

OK I know what the problem is with all these programs and my DVB-T220. Installing FlyTV gave me the clue. All of them are listing it as a BDA 713x but they are only detecting the ANALOG portion of the card. None of them are showing the DIGITAL portion of the driver for this card. (WDM driver). It's a Philips SAA713x Analog but what the hell is the Digital part of the Kworld DVB-T220?

That is the reason none of the applications find any channels when scanned because I do not have any aerial connected to the Analog portion of the card. All I am interested in is the Digital portion of the card. But none of the programs know it's there!

[mitsubishi]

Oddball, I have a KWorld 100 which I thought was like yours, but after your description it sounds more like my Asus 7131 tiger hybrid. Like I said I haven't tried the new DVBDream, but my card only works with PowerCinema and GBPVR.

Have your tried in graph edit? In GE I can build a BDA graph, play, tune and watch my Kworld, but the Asus I can only do analog and capture, the digital graph builds and plays, but ignores tuning requests.

[oddball]

Yep every program looks at the BDA driver portion and assumes that it is the DVBT portion when in fact it is the Analog portion so when scanning it finds nothing because DVB Dream and all the other programs expect to find a digital signal from the analog portion of the card. I wish I had not got a hybrid card now :(

GBPVR works BTW so you are bang on the money there. Dunno how to build a graph for it in Graphedit. But I think it will be the same situation you had. Hybrid cards seem to be a problem as most of the programs seem to be looking at the analog portion of the BDA driver thinking it's looking at the digital portion. DVB Dream has this problem.

Oh yeah this GBPVR is pretty good it would seem once you get around how to set it up correctly. It detects the card under several brands including FlyTV and Medion. I assume they all use the same driver base. Shame it does not record HD .TS. Also tried Powercinema 4. Same problem in that it won't record a HD channel's transport stream. :P

its a shame but for me useing a dvb-t yuan usb tv to go mini with a BDA yakumo driver that works great with web scheduler and jtvlan.

all im getting with DVB-Dream 1.3 is 'general hardware fault!'
errorcode 1 application will work in offline mode.

xp/sp1,(winterhill,manchester,UK transmitter).

the pictures look great and i assume the PIP is showing the full mux and you can select which to use as master, and thats a cool option that nothing else has as far as i know? other than vlc and that can almost work but is a pain to display and switch so i was hopeing this new app would be good, any signs of it getting fixed for (UK)DVB-T bda soon?.

Please check the list of supported cards first (above, or on DVB Dream homepage) and if you have a question or problem, visit the official DVB Dream forum (http://www.dvbdream.org/forum/index.php?sid=2596294b017536a42efd0972a357c17d).

[popper]

already did, but that forum doesnt seem very active at the moment and no replys as yet...

the 1.3a update didnt help dvb-t BDA eather.

as for checking the supported cards first, well it did say BDA supported and
'Bus 004 Device 004: ID 14aa:0220 AVerMedia (again) or C&E' as reported by linux and supported by linuxTV etc
is about as cheap and widely sold in its various re-badges as your likely to get in the DVB markets id think...

[Dreamer8]

[tekNerd]

Works great wit my Pinnacle 300i. Love it!
I was using ProgDVB, but this is far superior.

ps>It should be submited to fileforum.

[Dreamer8]

fileforum??

[tekNerd]

Yes, betanews/fileforum.

glad it works for some people, it still doesnt for my yuan DVB-T and my post of Wed Nov 15, 2006 10:02 am on the boards there currently stand at 104 views and zero replys.....

http://www.dvbdream.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
shame ,as it looks like it might be a good app one day.

i installed v1.3b fresh and that one seems to crash xp2 even faster, we are talking total lockup or reset here at times not just the app.

it seems to take forever to draw the screen, well 15 seconds on average :(

it seems that the 'how to report a bug' thread has been read 619 times so implying that at least that many people have had a bug or two probably way more...,but the actual reports there are low so i dont understand why several threads there havent had a reply as yet, even to say its been read and being looked at for instance!...

i see there is great hype about this dvb freeware, i visited their homepage read the faq and i still dont get a clue as what is it?
what hardware do i need?

any tv PC card?
do i need to have a contract with lets say directv or sky or something like it?

what will it do for me if i just have a tv card?
is it free tv channels or something like that?
sorry maybe my question can tell you that i dont know anything aboutit but it is the true :P
i cant find any useful info about it.

coool and I like it
but why it doesn't show all the channels when I do scan e.g. Nilesat
why other DBV viewers can show all sat channels after the scan ?!
