1.3.11 available

[sub]

You can download 1.3.11 from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR10311.msi

As with past releases, if you dont already have them, you need to have .net 2.0 or higher installed, as well as the updated Microsoft runtime from http://www.gbpvr.com/vcredist_x86.zip.

If you're upgrading from a previous release, I recommend you backup your gbpvr.db3 and config.xml files just in case anything goes wrong. Post any problem reports in the Support forum.


From the change log

- fixed a couple of problem with multi-record (recordings that could continue recording after they were supposed to stop, and recordings that could try to record on the wrong frequency when there was a back-to-back recording with only a padding overlap)
- fixed a problem with .ts playback on files over 4GB
- fixed a problem that could cause slow half speed audio
- added logic to only try multi-record when no encrypted channels were being recorded with the device
- fixed a problem with metadata or cover art not updating in some situations
- fixed a bug where multiple video/music library directories are defined, and folder.jpg wouldnt be shown in icon view for the top level
- MENU_EJECT_CD key working again
- added popup to warn if no dvd was in the drive
- added new events to let plugins know when startup is complete, and when the app is about to shutdown. This is useful for plugins that own external limited resourses, like LCD displays etc
- fixed problem where .ts file duration reported during playback would vary widely until a good average bitrate could be determined (timeline OSD jumping all over the place until a good way into the file)
- improved .ts playback compatibility with certain audio decoder (MPA, ffdshow etc).
- updated the 'check for renamed recordings' to handle .ts files
- failed recordings are now listed in the 'whats new' section of the Recordings screen. Previously they were only listed in the 'ready' section.
- fixed a PsiParser bug that could cause occasional crashes
- fixed a bug with DVB EPG parsing which could access violation crashes.
- extended the current selection remembering to work with the top level selection when multiple video/music/photo directories have been specified.
- no longer showing the tray icon options to restart the recording service on Vista machines, since permissions wouldnt allow it anyway
- tray icon tuner status popup now compatible with Windows desktops using large fonts
- should no longer need the various "BDASubmitTuningRequestTwicexxxx" config.xml settings set to true. Live preview channel changes are slightly quicker with the
- if you delete the last recording in a group in the recording ready screen, it now returns to the group list, with previous item selected (instead of returning to top of list)
- fixed a problem that could cause some channels to not be found during a channel scan
- fixed a jitter problem that could occur in the last build on the MVP and PCH.
- added a few minor tweaks to slick skin to avoid some text clipping, and to make text more readable
- updated EWA build

Is there a thread that describes this problem? I've been having some live playback problems on the MVP, and I just haven't gotten around to trying to figure it out.

This related to how the menu items were drawn, not video playback.

I just got a digital TV card (2250) and have been working on adding the stations. In Config/capture sources/edit there is an option to add a station. I try to add one of the subchannels i.e. 10.3 it crashes. If I put in an integer (11) seems to be ok. Not a big deal, but thought you might want to know.

You shouldnt be keying in numbers like that. With a digital capture source, to add channel 10.3, you'd need to hit the 'map digital channels to epg channels' button so that it scans for channels.

Do backup your config.xml file. My upgrade from 1.3.7 went fine, but my custom aspect ratios got hosed. Fortunately I did backup the config, so copying them back in was a simple matter.

Just a heads up for anyone with non-standard settings in their config.

Thank You Sub!!!!

Can't wait to get home and load up the build!

Thanks sub - looks like there's some updates ahead for ExternalDisplay

Just to say Sub - nice release - personally my H264 NZ HD is running really smoothly. I was getting stuttering in recordings which "seems" to have gone away with this release (although I'll wait on that as I'm not recording multiple channels often at present). Playback is all running really smoothly - been finding it as reliable as I used to be on Analogue!

Thanks again!
