0.9.1.6 SETUP - List of new features
RitzDVB

Setup:

• This is the first version in which RitzDVB comes with an Installer.
  The Installer can also used to update your current RitzDVB version.
  For new ASTRA users there is a full preconfigured ASTRA-Package as a choosable Type in the installer.
  Included in the new installer are
  - languages: german, bosnian, croatian, czech, dutch, french, italian, polish, portuguese, spanish, turkish
  - transponderfiles: astra, hotbird, hispasat, thor (for more see www.ritzdvb.com)
  - channellogos: astra and hotbird (for more see www.ritzdvb.com)
  - plugins: avbroadcaster, dvbepg, mdteletext
  - configfiles for remoting: via girder or pinnacle tool
  - some graphs by default now included.
  (but as pointed lot of times: such ready graphs can or cannot work on your personal machine. So best is still to build graphs yourself as told here: http://www.ritzdvb.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=475 )
  
  Network:
  
• using RitzDVB as DVB-Server to control the dvb-card, or as DVB-Client to control the dvb-Server from other places in your lan.
  for such configurations you can use now the extern Firebird Databaseserver which is available for free.
  A full description and step by step guide about RitzDVB in network you'll find in the manual. See chaper Network Install for the english speakers, or the chapter Netzwerk Installation for the german ones.
  
  Options:
  
• new Option "msec to reload Graph after channelswitch (Softmode)"
  (this can handle some issues with the codecs as eg wrong aspect ratio with the ffdshow.)
  
• new Option "use AC3 if audio PID set as AUTO"
  (this is for users who ever wants the ac3 pid as the prefered active pid without doing any other configuration)
  
• new Option "Switch to channel# after start"
  (this is for users who wants a fix channel which RitzDVB tunes by restart)
  
  Channeleditor
  
• enhanced the "reindexing channelnumber by sid" function by adding an new offset dialog.
  (now the sid reindex function will check for multiple satellites and opens a dialog where you can input some offsets for the channelnumbers per satellite. so you can prevent doubled channelnumbers when you reindex channels of multiple satelliteproviders which use the same sids)
  
  Layout:
  
• SimpleMode now store its size
  
• Info in bottom Statusbar if AC3 s active
  
  misc:
  
• new Dateformat "dd.mm.yyyy;hh:nn" for the extern executables
  
• german Language updated

---------------------------------------------
Some important Infos about Budget Cards
The new setup do register the dvbcore.dll by default.
Means the dvbcore.dll will registered as a directshow filter. And this is required to use and build some graphs for video/audio decoding. These graphs are descriptions-files and tells your machine what codecs to use to decode the packeged mpeg2 format of video and audio.

The setup do install some of these graps.
But keep in mind that only graphs are working where the pointed codecs inside are installed properly on your machine.
Otherwhise you'll get a error as "Cannot Initialize DirectShow Playback"
If none of the included graphs work build a graph yourself as described in our BudgetCards-FAQ
