DVBLink for DVBDream 1.0.2

OS Win7 RC1 32bit

Installed yesterday DVBLink for DVBDream and encountered the following problems.

1. How to start DVBDream as a service?
SourceConfiguration\DVBDream\Properties window is empty. This is as it should be?
2. Russian letters in the first synchronization in MCE appear normal. After adding new channels and synchronization in MCE I get "???????". In the wizard names of channels "?????"
3. No EPG from the stream.
4. How do I change the channel number?
Such problems DVBLink for DVBViewer No, but DVBViewer is unstable.

DVBLink for DVBDream 1.1

This version contains the new licensing system, nothing major. At least that means that all our products have been migrated to the new licensing system and that we can now, FINALLY, start working on the DVBLink v2 SDK framework!

DVBLink for DVBDream 2.0 Beta 1

After a few months of waiting, here is the update DVBLink for DVBDream 2.0. This version will allow you to use the latest DVBLink framework and all it’s sources, including DVBLogic’s Network Pack (NWP).

There are a few known problems with the beta:

• EPG data is not yet sent to Media Center
• An error message is displayed when the source is created using the DVBLink Server Configuration tool.

The installer is packaged with the official DVBLink 2.0 release. However, I recommend using the latest DVBLink server (currently 3.0RC1) instead of DVBLink 2.0. The newest version is easier to configure.

The license for DVBLink for DVBDream 2.X are compatible with DVBLink for DVBDream 1.X. In short term: the upgrade is free of charge!

Installation quick guide:

1. Remove DVBLink 1.0 (if you have it installed)
2. Install DVBLink 2.0 or 3.0 (I recommend 3.0)
3. Install DVBLink for DVBDream 2.0B1
4. Open DVBDream and get a trial license/register
5. Open the DVBLink Server Configuration application
6. Create a new source from the DVBDream template
7. Return to DVBDream, open the DVBDreamBridge dialog from DVBDream’s Modules menu, check a few channels and click Ok to close the dialog
8. Return to DVBLink Server Configuration. Select the Server Configuration tab located at the bottom of the dialog.
9. From the left pane, expand DVBDream and select DVBDream selected channels.
10. Click on the green arrow to add the channels to Media Center.
11. Open Media Center. Go to the Extras library menu and click on the dvblink icon.
12. Click on synchronize channels. (Follow instructions if you are using DVBLink 2.0).
