Simulcast Utility Suite v1.0.0

Simulcast Utility Suite v1.0.0 is the first complete public release of the redesigned receiver management and control application.

Note

Simulcast Utility Suite is designed for compatible RTN receivers. Available commands and information may vary depending on the receiver model, software version, network configuration, and installed plugins.

Included

  • IPv4 receiver discovery across individual addresses or configurable IP ranges
  • Receiver configuration, reordering, editing, deletion, and persistent storage
  • Live receiver connection, activity, channel, EPG, and playback progress information
  • Channel control with validation and automatic EPG refresh
  • Interactive virtual remote controls with command activity feedback
  • Refresh cooldowns to prevent commands from being sent too frequently
  • Configurable stacked notifications for information, success, and errors
  • Per-user and workstation application settings
  • Configurable receiver, plugin, plugin-data, and log storage locations
  • Runtime plugin loading, unloading, importing, refreshing, and removal
  • Plugin-provided settings, themes, UI extensions, receiver commands, data storage, and logging
  • Modern themed WPF interface with support for plugin-provided application themes
  • Styled per-user and workstation-wide installers
  • Optional receivers.json import during installation
  • Configurable application-data cleanup during uninstall

Application settings

The Settings page allows users to configure notification duration, log retention, log level, receiver storage, plugin storage, and plugin-data storage. Most changes are applied immediately without restarting the application.

Settings are saved per user by default. When the application is running as an administrator, workstation-wide defaults can also be configured.

Plugins

Plugins can be imported from a single DLL, a collection of DLL files, or a ZIP archive. Installed plugins can provide new interface elements, receiver actions, application themes, settings, storage, logging, and argument handling.

Plugins can be enabled, disabled, refreshed, configured, and removed through the Manage Plugins page. Visit the project wiki for plugin-development instructions and API examples.

Installation

  1. Download SimulcastUtilitySetup.exe from the GitHub Releases page.
  2. Run the installer.
  3. Select whether the application should be installed for the current user or the entire workstation.
  4. Optionally import an existing receivers.json configuration.
  5. Launch Simulcast Utility Suite from the Start menu or desktop shortcut.

The installer publishes a self-contained Windows x64 application, so a separate .NET installation is not required.

Known considerations

  • Receiver discovery requires the computer and receivers to be accessible across the configured network.
  • Firewall rules, routing, or receiver response times may affect discovery and command execution.
  • Receiver EPG responses may vary depending on receiver software and available broadcast information.
  • Third-party plugins run inside the application and should only be installed from trusted sources.
  • Checking for updates requires an active internet connection and access to GitHub.
