v0.97.13 (8 July)

[sub]

I've just uploaded http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09713.msi

This release is mostly bug fixes, but there is a few new additions as well. Many of these fixes had already been made available as patches, but I wanted to bundle them all together into a new release.

As always, if you're upgrading from a previous releases, I recommend you back the configuration file (config.xml) and the database file (gbpvr.mdb or gbpvr.db3) prior to performing the upgrade.

From the change.log:

2006-7-5 v0.97.13
- Fixed a bug that could lead to failed recordings if live tv was left running.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error bringing up the tv guide while watching live tv
- Fixed a couple of minor teletext subtitle bugs
- Added logic to live preview mode tv initiate a channel change as soon as the user has typed the correct number of digits on the remote, rather than waiting a short period of time. Makes channel changing seem that little bit quicker. Cant do the same for timeshift mode since numbers also prefix other actions such as 'skip'.
- Fixed a bug with the Record Until popup shown if you hit "record" while watching tv.
- Fixed a bug with the overscan settings that could cause corruption around the edges of the screen in fullscreen mode
- Fixed a couple of bugs in the PsiParser that could cause crashes during live tv or recordings
- Fixed a bug that could result in blank lines in SRT subtitle files recorded by GB-PVR. The blank lines would ultimately cause problems with subtitles when they were later played back.
- Fixed a bug with skipping on the MVP during playback of an in-progress recording
- Fixed a screen flicker that would occur each time you press a key when using the VMR9 Custom renderer and showing video in a window.
- Changed the way the VMR9 Custom renderer composites elements on the screen. This change was made as a work around for nvidia owners that used to get screen corruption when using hardware accelleration with most aspect ratios. Be sure to select the 'VMR9 Custom' renderer option if you need to use this. VRM7 and VMR9 renderers still have this problem and will require nvidia to fix.
- Fixed a bug that could stop the user from being able to edit the 'live tv' quality profile in the config app.
- Fixed a bug with the <SubtitleDelay> and <SubtitleDelayMVP> settings being ignored when playing back recordings.
- Fixed a bug that could lead to duplicate channels being created when you were using MS Access database.
- Slight change to scheduling logic to reduce the chances of getting conflicts on two-tuner systems when the system schedules season recordings.
- Fixed a bug with DVB channel scanning when using the DVR-MS mux
- Music Library and Video Library have been re-written. Functionality and appearance is pretty much the same as before, but the new screens are much more skinnable.
- Added page up/down to new Photo/Music/Video library screens.
- Added logic to cope with recent ATI 550 driver changes.
- Fixed a bug that could cause old show listings not to be removed from the database when 'complete EPG reload' is configured (and user has a capture source with 'no EPG').
- When audio is being played back, and you pause the music, you can now press the pause key again to resume playback (or 'play' key, as it has been up until now).
- When the user attempts to delete a recording from the Recordings screen, it'll only proceed if the system can succesfully delete the video file. This is to stop recordings being left on the file system, but not listed in GB-PVR. This could occur when the video is being processed with comskip or other utilities at the time the delete was attempted.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the 'constant channel number' to be sent through the IR Blaster for each channel change after the initial startup of live tv.

For those skinners whating to update their skins, the only significant change has been the addition of two more directories:

"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\video library2"
"C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin\Blue\music library2"

These directories are the skin directories for the new versions of the video/music library.

Your existing skins will most likely work with out these, but you'll end up getting the blue skin look on those screens.

Again, another excellent release sub!
Installing as I type this. Looking forward to the ease of skinning the videos and music sections

Damn Sub, you are the man. Just installed it and everything is looking great so far. I won't have much time to test it today as I am off in a little bit to get married!! yay! The guide pops up snappy, and I scheduled a few recordings and will leave it in Live TV to check that. Thanks again for an awesome program and better support than billion dollar companies provide!

I read the post earlier and saw the date (July 8) and didn't even think about it... that is kind of funny.

It only goes to show how much GB-PVR and sub rock!

Is it bad that I want to take a couple of personal hours from work and go home and upgrade before the wife gets out of work?

July 7th is soooo yesterday...

You think you are so cool because you are from the future.......:p

Since I won't be able to do anything with this until tomorrow, (the 8th for me), I won't miss anything since this is a July 8th release.
