- put file name in Sqlite connect string in quotes
- improvements to Mediatek Philips 120+125/Sony serializer (physically reorder XML nodes, use flags stored in Java serialized blob)
- selecting a RefList changed the current working directory, which prevented .ini files to be found by loaders
- downgraded SQLite libraries to avoid a memory access violation crash in the SQLitePCL.raw 2.1.10 (causing at least Panasonic lists to crash on load)
- added support for \*.dbm files with size 782536 (e.g. Vantage VT-80 HD)
- moved "Save as..." and "Export reference list" to a sub menu as they caused frequent confusion with the regular "Save".
- added support for Grundig dtv_cmdb_3.bin channel lists with size of 1270 KB
- fixed saving of Grundig dtv_cmdb_3.bin channel lists with size of 1293 KB
- updated tivusat reference list
- fixed issue when saving *cmdb_*.bin channel lists after applying a reference list which contains missing channels
- HB_DATABASE_mm_dd.DBM for Strong SRT 7007: added option "reorderPhysically" in ChanSort.Loader.DBM.ini
for this particular format to not only change the number but also change the order or data records in the file
- removed app.config files containing assembly redirects from projects and included them in the central Solution.props instead
- upgraded various NuGet packages
- added support for dtv_cmdb_3.bin file with file size 1323920
- fixed error when opening reference list dialog with Italian translation
- "Tornado" TV lists which are a slight variation of old Philips lists using a file name __chtb_do_not_delete_.xml
- fixed text input in "Favorites" column (for lists that only have favorite markers and not individual numbers)
- converted source code to use SDK/MSBuild project files (for future migration to .NET 7 or 8)
- added "Pooling=False" parameter to all Sqlite connection strings to prevent open file locks after closing the connection and to avoid extreme delays when using CloseAllPools()
- C# code refactoring "using var" instead of "using ( ) { }" where possible
- fixed issues where SQLite database files didn't get unlocked after saving
- fixed quirks with missing e_sqlite3.dll when running unit tests with Resharper
- replaced misuse of "FileLoadException" with a custom LoaderException to handle file loading issues with better continue/fail logic
- removed "Save As" and replaced it with "Convert list" menu item that shows information on how to use a reference list instead of direct conversion
- Philips: support for FLASH/*.bin DVB-T/C and preset DVB-S lists (mgr_chan_s_pkg.db)
- Toshiba: lists with chmgt_type001\\chmgt.bin can now be opened without zipping them
- Toshiba: selecting the hotelopt_type001.bin will now also load the list (if the type is supported)
- Alden: added support for "Alden" Android SmartTV channel list format (dvr_rtk_tv.db)
".BIN" and ".BIN" to lowercase ".bin".
- Philips: Removing a channel from a list is no longer possible (because it is not supported by the TV's import).
When saving a file, all unsorted channels will be placed at the end of the list.
- support for Philips Repair\mgr_chan_s_fta.db lists is now read-only. Files can be used as a reference list,
but modifying them won't be possible.
- upgraded to latest Sqlite libraries to support ARM
- finished implementation for Hisense Vidaa U5.2 file format (using servicelist.db with renamed tables and columns)
- added round-trip unit test for all loaders to check reordering channels and favorites, saving and reloading
- internal code clean-up regarding different favorite list modes (none vs. flags vs. ordered per source vs. mixed source)
- Toshiba settingsDB.db: support for lists without analog tuner data (missing TADTunerDataTable)
- Grunding: failed to load lists where the <Digital> element did not contain a <channels> child element
- W.I.P: reworking the reference list system so that a simple list of channels can be applied to the main channel numbers or a particular favorite list.
(The "Automatically reorder all lists" options currently does not work)
- Philips: combined DVB-C and DVB-T into a single list with a common number domain
- added exprimental support for Samsung "iptv" list
- added Suiss reference lists with Astra 19.2E + Hotbird 13.0E channels
- fixed "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException..." when opening a file which supports mixed-source favorite lists
(Sony, Philips, Hisense, ...)
- System requirements changed: .NET Framework 4.8
- added high-DPI support
- added Accessibility menu options to change the UI font size
- LG GlobalClone: some changes that might fix problems where the TV didn't work properly
with an importet list (ChanSort now modifies less data in the file)
- Menu items for hide/unhide, skip/unskip, lock/unlock are now disabled when these features are not supported by the
channel list file format
- Applying a .txt reference list (which doesn't contain information about skip/lock/hide) will no longer clear these
flags in the current channel list
- ChannelList.SignalSource and DataRoot.GetChannelList(SignalSource) are now handled so that if all bits of a given Mask are left 0, the list will accept anything.
i.e. if Tv/Radio/Data is left 0, the list can contain all of them as well as channels that have neither of the 3 bits set.
- added basic unit tests for each loader to ensure test files have the expected numbers of channels in the various sub lists
- added a "DllName" property to all loaders (set automatically in the main app) for improved error output
- added a "View" class that lets loaders show a dialog prompt without adding direct references to DX assemblies
- Samsung SCM loader now prompts for TV series if it can't be auto-detected uniquely
- added fixes for Samsung .zip format from 288adf7bd2
- added popup to open download page for VC2010 x86 redist if not installed (needed to open SQLite files)
- added hack to work around a problem in the SharpZipLib when Windows returns an invalid code page
file format
- show error message when trying to open a .zip file that doen't contain
the expected files of a Samsung J series or Toshiba .zip channel list
- show error message when trying to open a broken .zip file, which is
most likely caused by exporting to a USB stick formatted with NTFS
- allow changing the "crypt" flag for Samsung .scm lists
- iterating through loaders supporting a file extension till one can read the file
"hidden" and "skipped/unselectable"
- reference lists: the satellite orbital position is no longer used
to match channels. (Samsung J series does not provide that info).
- Samsung J series: favorite lists are no longer individually sortable.
(The same Pr# is used for all favorite lists).
- Samsung J series: deleting channels now physically removes them from
the file. (The TV might automatically append them again when it finds
them in the DVB data stream).
- Samsung J series: editing of channel names is now enabled.
- Samsung J series: favorite E is now also available
