I've just uploaded the new v0.97.9 release to http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR09709.msi
This is maintenance release that address several issues identified with the recent v0.97.7 release. Patches to many of these issues had already made available in the forums, but this release rolls them up in one easy to install update.
ITS VERY IMPORTANT YOU READ THE FOLLOWING:
This release requires .NET 2.0 to be installed. You must install this before upgrading. You can get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
NOD32, Panda Antivirus and Net Limiter are known to be incompatible with .NET 2.0 Remoting, which is used by GB-PVR. If any of these apps are installed on your machine, they will cause the Recording Service crash, so they must be uninstalled before installing this update.
As always, its recommended that you backup your config.xml and gbpvr.mdb files if you're upgrading from a previous release. Do not copy these back on to the new release though - these are just in case you need to go back to the old version.
If you're upgrading from a release prior to v0.97.7, I recommend switching back to the default Blue skin until your skin of choice has been updated for compatibility with this new release.
If you encounter problems with starting GB-PVR. I recommend the first thing you try is temporarily removing all plugins from the 'plugins' directory. Most of the original .net 1.1 plugins work fine, but some will need to updated by their respective authors. Many of the plugins have already been updated, with new versions available on the wiki
