DVBMax version 71

21.03.2009

What's new:

- Skywalker 2 support
- Installer now allows you to choose the installation location
- some work done on channel changes
- Some of my initial work on EPG is now available. Currently you will get the now/next descriptions/times on channels as you tune into them. I may have broken VMR7 with this addition.
- Toolbar button to toggle the EPG on the screen

DVBMax v78

You have to delete your settings.dat file in the program directory when you update to this version

- I checked and although I had settings for 22khz tone switching I hadn't done any code to do it. So now I have done it and with my testing it appears to work.
- I think I caught a bug that would happen on channel changes sometimes and cause a crash
- Some internal data changes
- I was having problems loading dll's but it appears to be working again. I am not sure about this one since I didn't change anything.

DVBMax v80

20.07.2009

- oops I realized that all of the releases over the last few days had a hard coded path that would cause a crash when the first channel was clicked on to render. I was doing some testing a week ago and forgot to comment it out

Important:

you will need the MS VS SP1 redistributable if you don't already have it installed:

If on Vista I am not sure if UAC interferes with saving data. If you have crashes try testing with UAC off. I have UAC disabled on my machine.

Windows XP users (are there still any )
If you are using XP you have to add the EVR renderer to XP. This is because I added EVR support and vanilla XP doesn't have that renderer. I think that you can add it to XP with this MS download:
