I'd meant to publish these last weekend, but with the site down that wasn't possible.  They are the same bits as the R4 Early Access.  Enjoy.

If you're reading this then you've probably noticed that the site's finally back up.  My previous host did something to the database server that made it go away - it came back this morning so I took a full backup (the last one I had on hand was from May) and finished the migration to a new/better host.

My contract with the previous host doesn't end for another month, so if you notice anything funky (like files that are missing) please let me know and I'll go looking.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  Enjoy.

I had a great time joining in on the HTPCentric hardware discussion.  We spent a lot of time on GPUs and why deinterlacing performance is really important, but there should be something for everyone if you're interested in building a HTPC.

Enjoy

HTPCentric Podcast

I posted an updated version of LcdWriter a couple days ago.  The main difference is that it supports the VFD and remote in Moneual's MonCaso 320 HTPC case (also works with the remote in the 312), but there were some architectual changes as well.

• LcdWriterService is no longer required for displays that aren't HD44780 based (the service can't be used with the 320/312 and provide remote support).
• Display implementation reorgainzation.  So if you're a previous user make sure you choose the right DLL.

SageTV V7 adds a feature that allows plugins to run as part of the graph creation process.  The zip file includes two plugins that can be placed in %ProgramFils%\SageTV\SageTV\GraphPlugin" to assist in the graph building and enhance playback.

SGPConfig.exe - Configuration application (screen shots below)

ChangeRefreshRate.dll - changes the refresh rate based on the FPS of the file as playback begins using a user defined FPS->Refresh Rate map.

GraphTweaker.dll - Adds and blocks filters based on container and codec.  It can also disable composition (Aero) during playback.  In most cases it's best to set the filter in Sage to "Default" for any codecs that will be overridden with this plugin.

Both plugins use MediaInfo.dll so it must be copied as well.

main.reg - an example of how the tool can be used to load filters by container/codec.

This is an Early Access release.

Version 1.2.2.2
- DTBVideoEditor respects PVR preference when reading/writing commercial segments
- Fix a bug in VideoConvertor where non-digital recordings can't be converted
- Change VideoConvertor to allow files with MPEG1 audio to convert to WMV
- Update MPC-HC filters
- Remove ConvertWithFfdshow and ConvertToMatroska actions

Jere Jones (Showanlyzer) is giving away a Ceton InfiniTV 4.   All the details are on his forum.

1.0.0.1
- Added SageTV recording monitoring (need to add more for HTPC use); requires Sage Webserver
- Added Safe Applications; if app is running sleep will not trigger
- Added idle count setting; iterations at "idle" before triggering sleep
- Added single instance logic
- Log level setting exposed in setting tool

bin

StandbyHelper is a simple system tray application that provides sleep based operations on the PC.

Features:

• Close applications (entered in the "Standby" column) on standby
• Optionally launch applications (entered in the "Resume" column) if "Standy" application was closed
• Suggest/Force sleep based on user input idle time and system usage

Standby suggest/force is not recommended for HTPC (esp. not the server) until I build some awareness in around recordings and playback (although both may work with the usage metrics).  I added this feature because my son always leaves a brower window open with a Flash player which keeps the machine from entering sleep modes.  Closing/resuming applications fine for HTPC use (this was the primary use case until the Flash player thing annoyed me enough to do something about it). 

bin

Note this is the same as the R4 Early Access release.

Version 1.2.2.1
- Add MSAS and addin debug log options to settings tool
- Add DeleteContextValue action
- add option to process shows w/o artifacts when the FW starts
- rework FW queueing model to only allow N (default is 5) instances of dvrmstompeg to run at a time
- ProcessDirectory supports custom ext
- Update todvrms to 1.0.1.4
- Integrate SRTWriter filter (dumps SRT from US WTV files)
- Add ChangeAffinity action
- FW will create DTB public folders if they are missing
- Fix bug when framerate is changed in VideoConverter
- Update to custom Monogram 1.0.8.0 H.264 encoder that allows profile selection (MAIN is the default)
- Add SetPreferredAudio action (for WTV only)
- Add audio stream selection for WTV files in ConvertVideoFile (use SetPreferredAudio prior to ConvertVideoFile in the profile)
- Additional error handling in FW
- Fix "Suppress" persistence in the settings tool
- Add VS.2008 runtime to installer
- Fix can't uninstall bug when the DTBFWService is not installed (previous versions, run installutil on the dtbfwservice to install it before uninstalling)

Should have posted the link to the review earlier, but I've been crazy busy lately.

I have to admit that I've never been much of a SFF HTPC guy because of the trade-offs required; but other than PCI[e] slots there isn't anything missing from the DH57JG. 

Now if only I could find a decent looking ITX case :)
