v0.96.8 (21 February)

[TylerK]

File not found, and the link on the main page is to an older version. Other than that, this release looks awsome. I can wait to try overlay mode again. Thanks, Keep up the good work.

read the first post concerning the system-screen. it's sort of a plugin for reboot, hibernate, .... and disk space.

well, where did you get the file from? i still cannot download.

I got it off here! You mean GBPVR968.MSI right...

I also am unable to download the new releasee. I just get file not found. I tried the link sub provided. I tried various combinations including the one referenced above. Nothing works.

Any ideas or should we just chill until things get straightened out?

Sub, what does the installer do to config.xml and direct.ini on an upgrade? Does it leave them completely untouched, or try to merge new settings with existing changes? I think I've seen that latter, but wanted to confirm.

Can anyone verify if there is a problem with back to back show for season recording in this version? MVP and Web schedule only pick up the first show but not the subsequence show.

Thanks.

Ok, I'm awake now.

The email from my hosting provider says:

Host13 disk failure

Raid Failure:
Your host server, host13 had a failed disk in its raid array. This is a
routine issue and typically we have the drive swapped in a few hours, no
problem. However another disk failed a few hours after the first. We
are hence unable to recover data from the raid array. (We tried various
things to get at least some access to the data on the failed array, but
have had no success).

Restored From Backup:
We have had two new disks installed into the server. We created a new
raid array with those. Then restored each VPS from our backups. The
backups are done once a week, so the restored data will be from 0-7 days
old. All VPSs are now back up and running.

So we would have lost the new release file, and some of the updates to the wiki in the last week. I'll upload the release again soon.

Direct.ini will always be restored to the default install version. Only gbpvr.mdb and config.xml get special treatment.

Settings from will be copied out of your old config.xml into the new config.xml.

Now that you're up what's the Scan and Channel folders for?

Theys files are only used in my testing version, just ignore them.
