• DVRMSToolbox 1.2.1.6 - Early Access Release

  I meant to post this a few weeks ago, but never got around to it. Version 1.2.1.6 - Disable WER on Vista for DVRMStoMPEG.exe - Add remote system idle timer reseting in the FW (works slightly different when running in service v. winform) - fixed an inconsistent metadata issue x86 The second item requires some explanation.  I was having problems with my main HTPC (Sage Server) going into standby when browsing media on the extender PC (Sage Client) because the client doesn't keep the server awake unless media is playing.  So the feature, if enabled, uses the FW (either winform or service) to send messages to the FW running on the server to reset the system idle timer every 30 (configurable) seconds.  It only does this when the "Watched Exe" (configured on the Remote tab of the settings tool) is running and the display (winform) or system (service (away mode can be used if running on vista)) is on.  That way the server's state can be tied to the state of the client using the client's idle timers.  Enjoy :) Posted Dec 29 2008, 08:25 PM by babgvant with 2 comment(s) Filed under: DVRMSToolbox, Early Access

• Switching to Comskip for HD-PVR (h.264)

  Erik posted a version of Comskip (0.80.007) over the weekend to the donators site that not only sorted the crashing issues I was having, but is more accurate than the version of ShowAnalyzer V1 (SAV1) I have been using. SAV1 is still faster, but accuracy counts for more.  Erik has also said that a 5x faster version in the works, I can't wait. If you haven't given Comskip a try recently head on over and check it out.   Posted Dec 11 2008, 06:05 AM by babgvant with 1 comment(s) Filed under: Comskip, SAV1
