Title: Build tonight
Post by: JimH on March 10, 2005, 04:45:43 pm

There is a new build tonight with some significant changes.

Some of the changes are major so be aware that this could cause problems.  Best to backup your database before updating.  If you aren't comfortable with this, just wait.

Encoder plug-ins should work right again for most everything.

TiVo Server should work with the new TiVo OS.

Conversion bitrate settings will work right with Library Server, TiVo Server, and UPnP Server.

Roku should work better, maybe other UPnP devices

The installer has changed so we can detect what Windows Media is installed and act accordingly.  This reduces the size of the build by about 3.5 MB.

I noticed this AFTER I installed!!   :-)


Doesn't the install itself do a backup?  For some reason I thought it did.  Not that I should count on that, but I thought it did.

Never install anything without backing up the system first, preferably with a tool like the inferior Ghost or the superior Drive Image (now unfortunately that's eaten by Ghost). That's the only way of keeping a media computer stable.
