v0.14 available for download

[sub]

I've just uploaded v0.14. It can be downloaded from http://www.gbpvr.com/Setup014.exe

From the change.log:

2003-2-15 v0.14
- Fixed a bug with starting playback of 'manual' recordings from the recording screen
- Fixed a bug with multiple tuner support that could cause a recording to stop and restart at the time recordings on other tuners were due to start
- The Full button on the remote (or alt-Enter) will toggle between fullscreen and window mode (only whilst menus are visible)
- The Back button (or Escape key) will now go to the previous directory in the music and video libraries
- Initial support for the XCard allowing playback of .mpg, mp4 and compliant avi files. Menus looks a bit crap because XCARD only allows 256 color OSD. A new skin should fix this. No support for the XCard remote yet. I must say, picture looks great on the XCARD - even better than the PVR350 decoder.
- I've added a new skin (green) which uses alot less colors than the other skins and is aimed primarily at the XCARD users. Its pretty ugly - but doesn't look too bad on the XCard. If someone more artistically inclined wants to donate one to replace - send me an email.
- Now using modern XP style buttons/checkboxes etc in config application.
- Lots of behind-the-scenes cleanup. Re-jigged the playback via Overlay/VMR9/VMR7. It should be more reliable now.
- Closed Captions will now work if you have "show closed captioning" selected in the config and are using VMR with Intervideo NonCSS decoder. There is no standard approach for all decoders. I will try to add compatibility with others later...
- Pressing yellow button on a song will add it to the end of the current play queue.
- Added -EmptyEPG and -OnlyEmptyEPG command line parameters.
- Fixed a bug when playing some shoutcast streams. The header was being parsed incorrectly for some streams.
- Added a config option to hide the 'Exit' button, which can be useful with the MVP and PVR350 users.
- Fixed several other small bugs pointed out on the forums.
- Added -TVGuide -Recordings -LiveTV command line parameters. These will take you straight to these screens. When inuse returning to the main menu will exit GB-PVR. This requested for those that want to integrate with products like myHTPC etc, and should help make it a little more seamless.
- XMLTV EPG Reader is now handling CDATA text, which fixes problems that some users were encountering
- Now also showing MP3 tag info in list view (previously only in icon view)

I really recommend XCard users select the new Green skin for now. With only 256 colors available for OSD, the Blue and RedSky skins can look very average.

I suspect you'll also require the v2.1 XCard drivers from http://www.sigmadesigns.com/support/down...000_xp.htm

If anyone more artistic than me can help out with a new low-color skin, send me an email...

Great work (again) !

But I can't use VMR9 anymore.

the wintvcap taskbar icon while recording went away, but recording takes place.
The icon was useful just like the red recording flash-light on the VCR. Is it on, recording takes place.....

Hi Sub,

the new release is working great for me. I especially like the comand line options for deleting and updating the EPG. This is great for automisation and if you have problems with overlapping TV shows in the EPG as I have them using german EPG information. All my channel configuration problems disappeared after correctly setting up the channels in the registry. I guess I can calculate decimal to hex conversions now with a blindfold on

Maybe ridiculous to ask, but will you be visiting the Cebit in Germany (other side of the planet)? Maybe some of us would like to offer a beer.

Greetings from Germany

box177, what happens for you with VMR9?

[sub]

mamema, are you sure you're not using the Direct Recording plugin? If I try to use WinTVCap here I still get an icon. Personally though, I prefer to use the Direct Recording plugin.
