Whats fixed
- A really annoying bug which maxed out the cpu and pretty much crashed your computer
- err lots of little bugs.

Remote Keys (normal mode)

- "Yellow"/ctrl-y - Next sorting mode *
- "Blue"/ctrl-b - Next stacking mode *
- "Red"/ctrl-r - add to playlist
-"Record"/ctrl-k - add to "my dvd"

*Requires you to uncheck "Use Blue/Yellow for Pg Up/Down" in the config app for my videos

Remote Keys (playlists mode)
- "red"/ctrl-r - remove from playlist/delete playlist
- "green"/ctrl-g - next view mode
- "yellow"/ctrl-y - mode item up
- "blue"/ctrl-b - mode item down

Most things are pretty self explainatory (well new stuff) if you need help post a message in the "Plugin/Skin support forum" and NOT HERE!!

this was going to be released as 3.2 but sub added video queue support which meant i was able to add way more things to it, so its 4.

for more instructions on how to install read the wiki (http://gbpvr.bladerhq.com just incase you didnt know).

ps i forgot to add the "edit" button for virtual root and external players (ill do this later).

i suppose, there are changes to the skin-xml, right?

thank you for that new release, i'll try it tomorrow!

Can't wait to get home from work and test all these new toys

yeah there a few skinning changes, but they are really minor (2 composite images, which you can pretty much just copy from the selected-button and normal-button and a couple more items to add to the popup menu), its like 1-2 edit of an existing one.

I really like some of the add-ons, but I missed the old buttons too much (info and the get movie, ctrl r and ctrl o). Maybe they were just removed from folder views.

Overall, w/ the new extras, you'll make a lot of folks happy. The paused dir was a nice touch.

Btw, this is not a passive req to fix this. I just use it differently from most. I wasn't unhappy w/ v3 in the least.

Looking good reven, exams must have finished eh!!

nah the small break between mid sem test/assignments and exams (they start in a couple of weeks)

I really like some of the add-ons, but I missed the old buttons too much (info and the get movie, ctrl r and ctrl o). Maybe they were just removed from folder views.

ctrl-o, was the popup menu and was only really used on the 34 button remote, but "go" also brings up the popup menu, so it still works. and the "best effort" well i dont find it all that good, i prefer to do a manual imdb search will multiple results. so you can still do everything in the last one, just either the buttons have changed or you just have to select it in the popup menu.

[capone]

I always had great results w/ best, personally. I can see where it was unnecessary, though.

I unmapped Go...was out of buttons (and nothing else used it, that I use). Maybe if I remap mute to it, I'll give it another go. The screenshot function was also nice (for the occasional poster not found).
