Oops sorry. I used some uppercase characters for the filename. Now fixed...

Version 1.11 uploaded - same URL as before (see the Wiki page).

I've tidied up the code a bit, eg the splash screen should now be centred no matter what resolution you're running, and you don't get two countdowns, which happened in one particular circumstance.

I was having problems with this utility but then found that it was because I use an MVP and the script was giving focus to the MVP server window instead of GBPVR itself. The problem was fixed by putting the option "Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -3)" into the script which forces an exact match on the window title and so makes sure that the correct window is found. It might be worth putting this into a future version.

This actually sounds pretty nifty, but the front end locks up on me too much. Without the ability to get to task manager or the task bar, it would require a system restart to fix instead of just killing the process.

I'll take a look at this.

Do you mean that GB-PVR locks up? If so, can you not get to Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

Can we move this discussion to the support forum here, please? To keep things on-topic, this thread will be for announcements only.

New version 1.13 now available (I didn't release v1.12).

In addition to couple of other things, I've added the additional window matching code as requested here but I don't have an MVP for testing so let me know (on the support forum) if it doesn't work.

Wiki entry here explains all.
