DVBLogic don’t hang about when it comes to development, they have just release DVBLink v4.5 RC 1. Last weekend I installed the beta so it’s release candidate installation for this weekend along with getting the DVBClient working on my Raspberry Pi.

Details and links on the DVBLogic forums and instructions how to reset trial for your installed products can be found here

Release Candidate 1 of DVBLink products v4.5 is available!
What is new/fixed from beta2:
General

    – Fixed: parental lock feature did not work in beta1/2
    – Added: selection of categories on the channel selection tab
    – Added: new layout for DVBLink media library items

DVBLink TVSource

    – Added: Unicable support (only for tuners, which support raw diseqc commands. Most of them do, but for example for DigitalDevices tuners users need to use their own Unicable configuration management)
    – Fixed: EIT scanner consumes a lot of memory to keep collected EPG data
    – Added: raw diseqc command support for Twinhan clones (Terratec S7, SkyStar HD2 etc.)
    – Fixed: “PAT scanning times out message” when scanned transponder id does not match the actual
    – Fixed: no signal on TBS5980 when going from qpsk to 8psk transponder
    – Fixed: no signal on DVB-S2/QPSK transponders for Twinhan clones

DVBLink Connect! Server

    – Added: display total/available disk space in recorder web interface
    – Fixed: system does not wake up for recording on WinXP machines
    – Fixed: when several changes are done to the recording schedule options only the last one is saved
    – Fixed: built-in recorder slow epg update process

Notes:

    – This version is not binary compatible with version 2.x, 3.x and 4.0/4.1. You will have to uninstall them completely before installing this version. Do not forget to make a backup!
    – 1geek1tool products are not supported (yet) in this version
    – v4.5 products use new licensing engine. This means that at the moment only trial activation is possible (e.g. your licenses for already purchased DVBLink products cannot be used with this version while it is in beta phase).
    – The 4.5 update will be free of charge update for all v4 users. For v3 users the current paid upgrade rules apply.
