v0.23.11 maintenance release available

[sub]

Hot on the tail of last week's release, I've just uploaded a maintenance release. It addresses several of the issues raised with the last release, as well as a few older bugs, and adds a couple of new features. Its now available for download from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR02311.msi

From the change.log:
2004-12-05 v0.23.10 (maintenance release)
- Added RECORD button support for the MCE remote, and for Hauppauge Direct IR Access.
- Fixed a bug with the installation scripts that would give an error when registering msado15.dll
- Fixed a bug where the remote web scheduling would not work until a couple interop files were moved into the .\web\bin directory
- Fixed a bug that could cause 100% CPU usage when using the PVR350 tv out.
- Fixed a bug that would stop the DVD button from appearing in the menu
- Added a new "LiveTV Pre-Play" delay setting on the Playback tab which *may* help those having problems with the file switch during livetv.
- Fixed a bug on the recordings screen. If you had multiple groups of recordings available and play a recording, it always seem to jump back to the first group when playback is complete.
- Fixed a bug where the first live tv channel changes was always relative to your first channel, even if you started on a different channel from the tv guide.
- Fixed a bug that was stopping custom tasks from working.
- Added the ability to specify independant forward and back skip durations.
- Added a minimal OSD option, to makes the MVP more responsive. When this is enabled, the OSD wont be automatically displayed when a file playback starts, during channel changes, or when you skip to another location. You can still see the OSD by pressing the blue button, or by pausing.
- Added settings in direct.ini and go.ini to change the brightness/contrast/hue/saturation etc, for those that aren't happy with the driver defaults.
- Fixed a bug that could result in a live tv recording file being overwritten
- Fixed a bug with season recordings which could skip certain shows for zap2it users
- Fixed a bug with selecting "ready" recordings when the new grouping feature was disabled.
- Fixed a bug with rewinding past the start of the video on the MVP.
- The blank key on the Hauppauge remote (or ctrl-O on the keyboard) will catch up to "near" live tv.
- Removed requirement for ADO. Too difficult to deploy.
- Added code to ignore very small random mouse movements. For some people these were causing the OSD appear often.
- Fixed a bug that would stop .avi playing correctly.
- Added initial support for PVR150 remote.

Trying to install this package and I'm getting the following error:

"The feature your are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package GBPVR0227.msi in the box below."


The "box below" contains the directory pointing to my desktop which has the 2311 package. Any ideas and what's the deail with the reference to GBPVR0227.msi? Thanks in advance for your help.

As part of upgrading it tries to uninstall your previous version, but it seems to be having problems doing this on your machine. Possibly missing files or something - I'm not really sure.

You could try downloading the last release from http://www.gbpvr.com/GBPVR0227.msi and running "msiexec /uninstall GBPVR0227.msi". It might help.

Just so you're forewarned though, you're likely to loose any settings or list of recordings already made etc. These types of things can only be retained in a "smooth" upgrade.

page down/up are working good now, just one improvement might make it better, if you page down and theres not another NUMBEROFCHANNELSTODISPLAY after current position, can you make it so you select the channels.count -1 and the start/display index is channels.count-(1+NUMBEROFCHANNELSTODISPLAY). just so theres never empty places for channels.

picky picky picky. When I saw this, I thought 'yeah, thats good enough'.

[reven]

yeah i know just trying to get it seem logical so you just press a button and it does it and you dont notice it, its just seems right, you know.
i spent ages fiddling around with these types of things in the plugins i made, just small little things that make it just a little bit better.

Does this release also squish the bug where it was missing some season records? If so then this release appears to finally be "perfect" for me
