0.4.0 Now Available
Aug 05 2005 06:27 AM
Version number jump to signify added features and lack of crash bugs.
•First and most noticeable, the list got a revamp. The font now matches most OSX applications. Columns are now sortable, and the column headers are now the correct height. Listings now save to disk between sessions as well.
•DVD burning bugs squashed. Some videos were cutting out early. It appeared that the vobs were the correct size but the disk image was not finishing. Changed the way I called mkisofs and things are looking good. DVD burning should be really solid!
•You will notice a menu called "Remote". This will allow you to execute common commands as if you typed them at your Tivo's console. First, the vserver start and stop commands are hardcoded and will be modified as I get feedback from users for maximum flexibility. There is a dialog that will explain the suggested locations and names for vserver and busybox. Check the wiki for feedback and an explanation of what busybox is.
•The second and more exciting part is the addition of remote macros. Right now there are four slots available. Clicking one of the menu items executes the macro on the tivo (technically against it's bash shell). Check in preferences for some starter macros. Command output is returned in a window. There will be a special section in the wiki shortly where you can share useful macros and tips. Especially useful and unique macros may get added as permanent menu items.
•Real-time de-interlacing & cropping while streaming. Simply turn it on in preferences. Your MPEG4 crop settings are used when streaming. This makes it easy to preview how your final MPEG4 movie will look. You don't have to wait an hour only to realize there is a 1 pixel line of noise across the bottom of the screen. Simply stream what you plan to encode first and tweak as necessary.
•Various minor bugfixes, cleanups. Added some debugging for the outstanding bugs probably related to international tivos, or other model related issues. In a short while there will be sections in the wiki for each model number of tivo. Organizing information by model will be encouraged in the coming weeks.
