Ok folks...you can get the new release from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09511.msi
As with all releases, I recommend you backup your GB-PVR files before upgrading from a previous release.
Twinhan DVB device owners will need to upgrade to the lastest drivers (1.2.2.7 or higher for PCI, 1.0.4.1 or higher for USB), as Twinhan have changed the names of some of their driver components, and this release has been updated to reflect these new names.
You'll need to switch back to the defaut 'Blue' skin until the skin authors have a chance to update there skins for compatibility.
Changes include:

Changes include:
Quote:2005-11-28 v0.95.11
- Fixed a bug where 'prompt for resume' would not work with 'minimal OSD' enabled.
- Fixed a bug with manual recordings not always having zero'd seconds. This could cause conflicts on back to back recordings.
- Fixed a bug with cancelling recordings when they were in the post-padding stage of the recording.
- Fixed a bug with using the USB-UIRT as an input device
- Fixed FM Radio on Hauppauge PVR USB2.
- Fixed a bug with back to back recordings where the recordings where on two different capture source on the same physical device (ie svideo and tuner on the same card).
- Fixed a bug with the frequencies shown in the Tuning Assistant.
- Now remembers the last aspect ratio, and will automatically return to that aspect ratio.
- Now using asynchronous handling of MVP key presses. This should help users that were getting disconnects on operations taking more than about 8 seconds.
- Added an option to start GB-PVR fullscreen on the second monitor.
- Added an option to perform a complete EPG refreshes. Behind the scenes this simply removes all the existing show listings from the database prior to performing the EPG update. Shows linked to recordings are left in place. This setting only applies to the automated EPG update, not manually initiated updates.
- Alt-Enter to toggle between window mode and fullscreen now also works when watching video.
- Added a 'delete' button to the video library, with an associated delete confirmation.
- Added Windows Media Player visualizations during music playback. This is only available for people viewing on their monitor, not MVP/XCard/PVR350. You can see the visualization as soon as the music starts playing in the 'music library' plugin, or when the default screen saver kicks in if music is playing.
- Improved support for diseqc switch on FireDTV DVB-S device.
- VMR users can now use an onscreen popup window to adjust the brightness/contrast/hue/saturation of the picture.
- Improvements to the DVB scanning and DVB EPG functionality.
- Added -export and -import command line parameters to gbpvr.exe. These perform the same task as the export/import buttons in the config app.
- Exiting screen saver now returns to the screen you were on rather than the main menu.
- Added support for MCE2005 IR Blaster. This was based on the excellent work by Bruno Fleurette at http://www.thegreenbutton.com/community/...opicPage=1
- Changed XMLTV reader to cope with XMLTV files which dont contain the channel nodes.
- A few enhancements to the skinning engine, including the ability to have a horizontal menu
- Added a simple fade in/out animation for task images on the main menu screen. You can turn this off using the <AnimateTaskTransitions> setting in config.xml. You can also adjust how fast the transition occurs using the <AnimationStepCount> setting.
- Genre and rating information is now imported for zap2it/xmltv/dvb EPG source options if available. Those upgrading from previous version will need to do an 'empty epg' first to force the EPG information to be loaded'.
- A few minor changes to the TV Guide screen, using some of the ideas I liked from XGuide:
--- you can now choose custom colours to be shown for a genre in the TV Guide. Do this by clicking on 'TV Guide' in the plugin list, then click settings.
--- 'Find more' button to switch to the search screen and show the times for other shows with the same title.
--- The timeline at the top will now also show colour in the background to indicate if a there is a conflict or recording scheduled in that timeslot.
- A few more changes to the transcoding functionality. This is now based on FFmpeg, which should prove more reliable and flexible.
- Added a button in the config app for accessing the selected video decoder's settings dialog. There isnt really any exciting settings in the Intervideo decoder, but there others are reasonably useful.
- Deleted recordings are now sent to the recycle bin so that you at least have a chance of recovering the file if you accidentally deleted it.]
- Added logic to automatically update database if it files a show.mpg file has been converted to a show.avi by some external process.
- Video/Music library entries are now listed in the order they are shown in the config app.
- Added a setting to config.xml to allow you to force the MVP processes to be high priority.
- Added a setting to use FFmpeg for transcoding AVI files for playback on the MVP. This is installed with the GB-PVR installation.
- PVR350 owners should now be able to play AVI (divx/xvid) files. This is done using on the fly transcoding to MPEG2, so you need a fair bit of CPU grunt for this to work smoothly.
- Most people were unaware of the hidded free text search option in previous versions, so I've added a free text search box to the main search screen.
- Possibly now supports DVB-C. Not tested.
- Will auto detect changes to background.jpg and reload it for main menu.
