2.1.22054 Updates in this version:
  • Fixed MVPMedia.exe's steadily increasing memory usage. This was introduced in the previous 22050 release.
  • Red and Green "Cancel" and "Apply" buttons have been "swapped" left and right. Now they match the ordering on the Remote Control. This feels much better.
  • After any sort, all directories are always listed at the top (and in the order as sorted). All directory/file sorting and listing needs more work still. Stay tuned...
  • Installer now puts these Release Notes in the Hauppauge MediaMVP director
  • A little faster than the previous version

This is a complete installer, and includes the MediaMVP application, MediaMVP Server application and Search for Media application.

2.0.22030 Updates in this version:

2.0.22021 First beta of 2.0 ?
1.1.22020
  • Skip button now skips 30 seconds in videos.
  • 0-9 buttons will jump to 10%, 20%, 30%, etc. of videos being played back, plus media lists. For example, if you click '5' when watching a video, you will skip to 50% of its program length.
  • Faster generation of thumbnails.
  • Minor bug fixes.
  • Now includes a TV screen saver. Hit any key on the remote to get out of the screensaver. A future version will have an adjustable timer for the screensaver, but right now it is fixed at 30 seconds.
  • This version supports up to 12 MediaMVPs on one network. The actual number of MediaMVPs which can be supported is limited by the available bandwidth of your network (100MBit/sec networks recommended for supporting the largest number of MediaMVPs).
  • Now supports 8 languages. Languages are selectable in the "Settings" menu.
  • This version can turn off 'thumbnailing' in the "Settings" menu. This speeds up the display of menus.
  • Bug fix for the early stopping of MP3 files.
  • Fixes hang in screen saver. Also, any button will exit screen saver, but will not cause an action until the next button is hit.
  • Note: if you experience system slowdown when navigating through the "Video" menu on your TV set, there is a known problem when making thumbnails of some MPEG videos. The temporary solution is to turn off video thumbnailing in the "Settings" menu.
