Home arrow TAPs detailed by date
Topfield creates Personal Video Recorders (PVR), which can be used to receive and record digital television channels. Also music (MP3) can be listened with Topfield products. Topfield features can be enhanced and corrected with TAPs (Topfield Application Programs). It is for example possible to watch digital camera images (e.g. jpg) and timers can be created automatically by search words using TAPs. It is also possible to correct bugs with 3rd party patches. This site lists all TAPs and patches developed for Topfield.

Improbox 2.5

Monday, 15 December 2008
 
This great TAP replaces Topfield's own infobox and offers many other improvements as well. The main infobox shows usually current and next programs' information but it is also possible to show all future programs for the selected channel. Extended information as well as prime time programs can be viewed easily and even replays of the current show can be found from the EPG data. Recording and timer status can be seen as well easily. There is plenty of other useful data available to be viewed easily as well as other useful functions like FastJump for quickly skipping commercials and possibility to continue watching the file automatically where it was stopped last time. Don't you like the gray scheme? Don't worry, there is other color schemes as well.

ShutdownServer (SDS) 1.3d
User Rating: / 5
TAPs
Wednesday, 10 December 2008

This TAP intercepts the Topfield’s shutdown command and informs the other TAPs about the planned shutdown. The other TAPs now can save their data onto the hard drive or perform other tasks. It is even possible to temporarily cancel the shutdown to carry out a longer job. In this case, it is up to the canceller to reinitiate the shutdown at a later time. In addition, the SDS displays a dialog, when a user presses the standby button while a recording is running. In contrast to the original Topfield dialog, SDS does not allow to stop the recording, so an accidental interruption is not possible. A startup channel and volume may be configured via the configuration file.
Users with a TF5500 VFD will get status information about the current shutdown state.

Wednesday, 10 December 2008

Filer represents an alternative to display and manage files stored on your Topfield PVR offering enhanced functionality compared to the original file list.

For example these functions are in Filer:
  • Recycle Bin: Instead of immediate deletion both files and folders can be moved into a virtual recycle bin. From here items can either be restored or deleted finally.
  • Capability To Display All Files: Filer is not limited to standard file types like recordings or TAP files but allows to display and manage (rename, move, delete) all kind of files stored on hard disk.
  • Watch Status For Recordings: For each recording Filer displays whether it has been watched fully or partially. The parts recordings have been watched are displayed in separate progress bars.
  • Various Colour Settings: Currently one of four pre-defined colour settings (blue, green, red, grey) can be selected.
  • Fast Decryption (FastCopy): Decryption of a file by pushing just one button.
  • Sorting: Filer offers further criteria to sort the file list incl. ascending/descending sorting.
  • Screen saver functionality

TAPs
Thursday, 02 October 2008

iGuide is a TAP providing a grid-style EPG for the Topfield, incorporating now-and-next information, series-link timers which provide the ability for all episodes in a series to be recorded automatically, and cross-channel recording patterns which allow related programmes on different channels to be recorded automatically.

iGuide allows the creation of EPG Views – lists of channels in a user-defined order – giving easy access to favourites lists for different individuals, family-safe EPG views (e.g. with adult channels hidden) or even Sky+ like categories (‘Children’s’, ‘Movies’ etc.).

Other key points:
  • Now and next banners
  • Multi-channel series links
  • Intelligent timers
  • Skins (MyStuff compatible)
  • Folder support
  • Internationalisation

Sunday, 31 August 2008


This TAP turns the coloured buttons into ad skipping keys during playback of a recording or optionally timeshifting. The skip durations are customizable. It also optionally allows the use of the numeric keys to specify an absolute time to jump to, or to jump forward a specified number of minutes rather than a percentage. Also binary jump is included.

The zip file now contains a masterpiece version which also seems to work on the 6000 models.
