WinTV v10 Release Nots

WinTV v10.0.38205

• Live Radio and recording now use the ArcSoft MPEG Demux filter. Fixes issues with Radio channels in Poland and Australia.
• Fixed an issue setting last IR Blaster channel too early
• Fixed issue blasting Channel 0
• Added support for H.264 channels from the DCR-xxxx devices, previously all channels were treated as MPEG-2.
• Fixed an issue where the last used IR Blaster wouldn't be reset, leading to the next blast not happening.
• Detecting if the file we are going to playback is Radio or not (to allow us to use an alternative Demux for radio)

WinTV v10.0.38190

• Fixed black Screen while changing Channel
• Storing Preferred EPG language value from the Preferred Audio Language value in Settings
• Added additional video Codec

WinTV v10.0.38176

• Improvements to support multi-tuner installations
• Added an option true to warn when entering full screen in quadPIP mode even if you aren't recording. (Customer request - default no action)
• Stripping & from Live TV and Scheduled Recording filenames
• Parsing & to 'ampersand' inside any XML incase & is in the status from HauppaugeTVServer
• Fixed a text field in Settings wasn't long enough for the Italian translation.
• Changed to look for Contains Recording not StartsWith in RenewLease()
• Fixed an issue getting the tuner status on multi tuner setup, particularly around
• Fixed an issue when tuner was stolen for recording. Sometimes it could get stuck showing 'No Tuner Available' rather than playing the in-progress recording. Logging around stealing tuners added
• Info bar in quad Mode PIP hides after 3 seconds now without having to click the mouse button first.
• Logging potential overlapping recordings when scheduling
• Showing channel number that overlapping scheduled recordings are on in case they have the same Name and Time but aren't REALLY duplicate
• Checking if LiveTV started ok when changing channels (like we do from Stopped)
• Reporting "No TV Tuners connected" when LiveTV is attempted to start and no tuners are actually plugged in.
• Reporting if a tuner is available but hasn't scanned in that particular channel either because it's a different source to the tuner or because the user really hasn't scanned channels on that tuner. This might happen if you switch TV tuners and haven't scanned for channels yet.
• Since the graph cannot get the duration of an in progress recording (it only ever returns the duration when the file was first opened) showing 'Recording in Progress' when we watch an in progress recording in the Live TV window (e.g. When the app is open and the tuner is stolen for a recording)
• Added new option in the TV Guide for ATSC/QAM boards, to not perform the full EPG collection when the PC is first started (if the last event was missed because it was shut down). The default is off, but the user can choose to enable this. This will resolve issues were the app is started and 'No TV Tuner Available' would be shown.
• Added a check when starting WinTV v10 if the overnight EPG collection is in progress and gives the user the option to cancel it and start Live TV. N.B. If this isn't run, things like season recordings won't get created.
• When changing the audio PID while paused, making the graph play as the PID cannot be checked while paused.
• Fixed issue where volume slider would go off the edge at maximum volume
• Fixed issue where pause buffer slider would go off the edge when it reached the end
• Timers are correctly are correctly right and left alligned
• LiveTV text on timeline is now translateable
• Showing status if TV tuner is being used in WinTV Extend or in another TV Window
• Position and Duration text only showing the hour digit if the recording or position is long enough.

WinTV v10.0.38163

• Fixed an issue checking for duplicate channels that would stop a channels being added and mapped for a second tuner.
• Added option DisableTeletext in Settings.xml to remove the Teletext filter (for debugging)
• Added option DisableCCTest in Settings.xml to remove CC filter when playing back a recording (for debugging)
• Fixed an issue that playback of recordings wouldn't stop at the end of the file
• Fixed an issue when the tuner was 'grabbed' for a recording, LiveTV wouldn't start again after the recording because of the playback of the recording never finished.
• Showing a warning when starting the app and the overnight EPG Update is in progress
• Showing a warning if try to tune to a channel and the connected tuner hasn't performed an autoscan yet. Will show your the name and the Serial of the tuner that needs setting up.
• Attempting to automatically retry the last channel tuned to if the currently connected tuner cannot recieve that channel.
• Logging the status of all connected tuners when logging "No Tuner Available" to help debugging.
• Showing 'Capture Recording Quality' instead of 'Analog Recording Quality' on HD PVR style boards under Settings.
• Updated HCWTSReader to fix chosen language preference not being used if audio tracks were of different audio standards (e.g. mpeg1 vs aac). As reported in Australia

WinTV v10.0.38148

• During a channel scan existing duplicate channels are filtered out from the result list (Same ONID/TSID/SID AND Frequency/Channel Number). So if a channel moves frequency it will be found still during the autoscan. This will help also if say the channels from just one frequency were missed during the first scan, it will allow the user to see that the missing channels were actually found this time, rather than being somewhere in a mixed in a long channel list. Also if just one single channel from a mux is missing or say gets added, the one channel will be added without removing all the channels from that mux to add it. This also protects scheduled recordings from being removed.
• Scanning change was applied to: DVB-T, DVB-C, DVB-S, ATSC, ClearQAM and DCR devices.
• ATSC scan now gives a running total of channels found (previously only ClearQAM or DVB gave this)
• Removed duplicate extra lines in the logging of ServiceInformation in the log.txt
• Fixed issue where stale channel information from a previous tune can cause the next set of channels to be missed. This was already fixed for DVB-T, not implemented on all source types.
• Fixed issue that only one scheduled recording could take place on WinTV-DCR-2650 and WinTV-DCR-3250 (Now 2 and 3 tuners respectively)
• Added warning about the Windows 10 Camera Privacy issue if the Capture filter can't be found (previously just the installer would warn about this, but products without Hauppauge EEPROM could miss this check)
• Hiding the Export to MP4 if an Analog product is connected, not just if false was set by the installer. If you didn't install with the USB Live 2 it could lead to this button being shown when you plugged one in.
• Error message box made taller to fit Camera Privacy message on

WinTV v10.0.38099

• Fixed an issue with a recent fix during a DVB-T/T2 scan where correct channels could be ignored during a scan, due to receiving channel information from the last tuned channel (which registed the frequency as duplicate). This fixed worked if the channels were consecutive, but not if a blank channel was tuned in between. This was seen in Sweden/Denmark
• Fixed an issue where "0" wasn't being set in Germany, it was being seeded before the config.xml had been created.

WinTV v10.0.38093

• Adds model numbers below 20000 to allow install (e.g. HVR-3000 is model 14xxx or HVR-930C is model 16xxx)
• Added HCWD9BDA driver 1.36.36149 for 32-bit Windows 10 and 32/64-bit earlier versions of windows (only Windows 10 64-bit had this driver added previously)
• Added a second auto retry of scheduled recording if the first one failed because the file was emptye
• Not logging aspect ratio every time, only if it's changed.
• Cleaned up some noisy unneeded logging around OSD
• Warning user if they enter full screen mode when in Four Tuner PIP and recording, that they will not be able to go back to Four Tuner PIP mode without stopping the recording. There was a warning if you did this and were recording in a different window, but the current window was ignored.
• Removed noisy logging when opening the TV Guide
• Fixed an issue on ATSC/QAM boards if only QAM was configured, it could attempt to get EPG listings for just the first Clear QAM frequency due to the way it counted the frequencies if none were in the list
• Turning off EPG Update if no valid channels are present in the database. If valid channels are added (and the user hadn't chosen to turn it off themselves) EPG Update will be turned on.

WinTV v10.0.38066

• Fixed an issue that could cause the Serial number on a very, very small number of products to return as "2" which could cause issues with re-installation and will report 'Activation Code not valid'
• Fixed an issue on WinTV-quadHD USB which could cause serial number to return as "2". Customers who have already installed WinTV v10 have had their Activation Code re-activated, so it will now pair also with the other half of the tuner on re-installation.
• Model/Serial detection should be slightly quicker on devices with a "Serial Number" rather than a "MAC"
• Fixed support for Model 72261, has external inputs incorrectly showing.
• Fixed an issue opening EPG if there were bad entries with no EPG Update end time, left over from older legacy versons of WinTV v8.5
• Fixed an error on Model 150xxx (from Build 38045) where if you chose not to install drivers it would show an error running hcwdriverinstall
• Fixed an issue streaming HEVC channels in Germany via WinTV Extend
• Fixed an issue viewing bad signal H.264 streams where it couldn't get the VideoHeader Info because of the bad signal (as seen in Italy)
• Fixed an issue that pressing Escape when in Full Screen mode and in Quad Window mode and having double clicked a single window to maximise it, wouldn't let you revert to Normal size window mode.
• Added support for PCTV 73e, PCTV 282e and 73e SE (Drivers not included - Yet..)
• Added support for PCTV 340e/801e
• Fixed issue where WinTV Extend server would crash 1 minute after completely streaming a full recording to the end.
• Fixed an issue on some ClearQAM channels which wouldn't be found where PMT PID was 0xff which was supposed to be "invalid" but happened to be valid on a particular stream.

WinTV v10.0.38050
