Version 1.0.16
- Release Date: Aug 14, 2007
- Please refer to the release notes for a full list of changes
Version 1.0.8
- Release Date: Jul 8, 2007
- Please refer to the release notes for a full list of changes
Version 0.99.12
- Release Date: Feb 27, 2007
- reinstated favourite channel behaviour. When watching live tv, CH UP and CH DOWN will cycle through the favourites. You can still change to non favourites by typing the channel number or selecting from the tv guide or mini guide.
- updated all DVB-S satellite lists with those kindly provided by joshyfun
- added fullscreen exclusive mode option, which should help with video tearing experienced by some users. May also provide smoother video for some. Its still a bit "experimental", and I dont recommend using a mouse to control it.
- fixed a bug with VMR9 Custom renderer that could cause a black flash immediately after changing channels, or a black screen when pausing.
- fixed a bug that would cause the subtitle type message to not show when DVB subtitles were enabled by Teletext was not
- improved support for diseqc switches with hauppauge/twinhan/firedtv devices
- fixed a bug with OnAir GT QAM digital cable channel tuning
- fixed a bug where that could cause the temporary Net Radio recording files to continue growing even after the user clicks 'stop'. This would only affect users that have false in their config.xml
- fixed a problem that could sometimes occur with zap2it EPG updates
- added ability to show some object in the 'next recording' panel when a recording is currently occurring. (via visible="@IsRecording" composite image element)
- fixed a bug with the auto aspect ratio with Overlay video renderer.
- changes to the way RGB -> YUV colour space conversion works on the MVP. Should improve colour rendition, and fix a problem reported by one user on an LCD screen.
- fixed a couple of problems that could occur when playing music with Windows Media Player visualisation. Both related to WMP directly handling keystrokes it shouldnt have.
- fixed a bug that would cause an 'object reference' error when initiating recording from live tv by selecting the 'record until I exit' option.
- improvements to DVB-S channel scanning.
- .avs files played on the MVP now use ffmpeg
- fixed a display problem with 'recording details' popup when showing manual recordings.
- now quicker to release memory after playing music files with visualisation.
- config app automatically fixing a couple of common configuration errors that users make.
- added an 'advanced BDA settings' button in the BDA capture source configuration that has a few settings that may be required by a small number of users.
- added initial support for controlling the priority of reoccuring recordings. The priority is dictated by the order shown in the 'reoccurring' list in the Recordings screen. The top of the list is the highest priority. You can move a recording up or down the list by selecting it and pressing the FF or RW buttons. Changes to the priority will only affect future recordings, not conflicts that may already exist.
- added the ability to change the order of the capture sources in the config app
- fixed a bug that could cause a corrupt c:\zap2it.xml to be created when true in config.xml
- made the list of extra files deleted configurable in config.xml via setting.
- added a menu item called 'Easy View'. My kids are getting big enough to control the remote themselves, so I wanted to give them an easy to use screen that they could control. It lists their recordings, DVDs and favourite TV channels as one list, with pictures next to each to make it simple, no menus etc (only requires up/down/enter keys).
- added a few minor youtube enhancements. Keeps a cache of last ten (configureable) videos played. Added a favourites view. Added 'no matches found' search message.
- a few improvements to the 'dont record duplicates' functionality for zap2it users.
- slight change to improve channel scanning on HDHomeRun
- no longer showing hidden directories in Music/Video/Picture Libraru, like recycler etc.
- added some simplistic video queuing functionality to the Video Library. When you're watching a video, you can press home to switch to video inset mode, go to the video library and press the yellow key on one or more file files to queue them for playback after the current file. This key can be configured in the keymappings file if you need or prefer a different key.
- and a few other things I forget (or choose to forget)...
Version 0.99.5
- Release Date: Dec 23, 2006
- Improvements to scheduling logic for multi-tuner setups
- Improved aspect ratio control with Overlay renderer
- Added support for MultiDec plugins. If enabled in config app, then it'll load MultiDec plugins from MDPlugins directory.
- Improvements to the start up time for timeshift mode, and the time to change channels. (PC improvements, not relevent to MVP) To take full advantage of this, you'll probably want to set you 'LiveTV Pre-play delay' to '0'.
- Added support for Vista, though I'd recommend doing a clean install if you decide to upgrade a machine to vista that was previous running an earlier version of windows with GB-PVR.
- Logs have now moved to a specific 'logs' directory (as part of the steps required for Vista compatibility)
- Added ability to delete directories from the Video Library
- Fixed a bug that could occur with badly behaved BDA devices that continue send a small amount of data from frequencies they were previously tuned to (for example, Compro devices).
- Fixed a couple of bugs with the DVB EPG (now supports PSI pointer_field used in some countries to squeeze more data in)
- Fixed a bug with ATSC QAM scanning
- Improvements to H.264 support (BBC HDTV trial etc). You'll need to have an H.264 decoder installed. For playback of recordings, you'll also need HDTV Pump installed: http://dvbportal.dyn1.de/download.ph...etup-1.0.7.zip
- Fixed a minor bug in the Recordings screen with blue skin.
- Fixed a bug that could result in a database lock error while watching a video, and strange behaviour that follows.
- Added a 'TS Mux' option to the BDA Multiplexer list, which might be useful for ATSC users that have mux problems. For playback of recordings, you'll also need HDTV Pump installed: http://dvbportal.dyn1.de/download.ph...etup-1.0.7.zip
- Minor skin change to the Recording screen to show the title/subtitle for each item rather than just the title.
- Fixed a bug with the skin fallback mechanism
- Added a very basic YouTube plugin. To ensure compatibility with the MVP, it downloads the entire video before it starts playback (sorry, you'll need to be patient). If its popular then there will be enhancements in coming releases (otherwise I might drop it, not sure yet).
- Fixed a bug where the splash screen and screen saver settings were swapped when they were loaded by the config app.
- Fixed a bug that would cause it to continue to render the menus in the background even though video was fullscreen.
- Fixed a timeshift problem when using DVR-MS mux option.
- Now possible to configure which transcoder executable is used for on the fly MVP transcodes.
- Added support for MP3 tags back into the Music Library. Exact format can be tweaked using the setting config.xml
- Now remembers the DVD playback positions and prompts to resume subsequent playback. Convenient if you dont want to watch those FBI warnings each time...
- Fixed a bug with automatic file conversion that would cause a database lock error with SQLite database.
- Improvements to DVB Subtitles
- Fixed a bug that would cause the reported duration of a recording to keep getting longer when watching from a client PC.
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Hauppauge PVR USB2 to not show up when detecting devices installed in the machine.
- Now possible to update end time or post padding on recordings that have already started.
- Added some minor performance enhancements for zap2it epg
- Fixed a bug that would cause the Windows Media Player to pause instead of stopping in some circumstances.
- Added some code to make sure the machine wouldnt auto hibernate/standby while listing to music.
- Added ability to press record key on listing in search screen to do a quick record, rather than pressing enter to bring up full recording screen.
- Comskip support for EDL files, which will be useful for playback of ATSC recordings where frame rate has changed during the recording, or when the frame rate cant be deteremined.
- ...and several other small things I forget.
Version 0.98.13
- Release Date: Oct 20, 2006
- Much improved ATSC HDTV support, including new channel scanning functionality.
- Added ATSC QAM support (digital cable) for the OnAir USB HDTV GT device.
- Added support for ViXS based capture cards.
- Added support for new Hauppauge HVR3000/HVR4000 devices including DVB-T, DVB-S and software encoding analog. These devices have one tuner for DVB-S, and another for DVB-T/analog, so these two can be done at the same time. HVR1100/900 could also work in theory with this software encoding, but will require updates to direct.ini. To support the analog side of these devices, GB-PVR reuses several SoftPVR components, so this Hauppauge supplied software must have been installed.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error stopping live tv with analog devices
- Fixed a bug that could cause a "System.ArgumentException: Rectangle '{X=120,Y=160,Width=0,Height=40}' cannot have a width or height equal to 0." type of error in the TV Guide.
- Minor improvement to DVB-T scanning
- Fixed a bug where the left arrow key was not successfully deleting a character when typing a freetext search in the search guide screen. Made things difficult on the MVP.
- Fixed a bug with video inset in sub menus.
- Added option to use splash screen
- Fixed a bug with gradient colours used with the round rect style of listings in the tv guide.
- Improvements to the DVB EPG option.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error when exiting GB-PVR before the EPG had finished loading in the background
- Fixed an incompatibility with IE7
- Fixed a bug that could cause the video inset window to continue showing even when it wasnt supposed to (ie, over photos in Photo Library etc).
- Fixed a couple of PC client bugs (deleting recordings was not removing files, comskip now works in stream mode)
- WMV playback on the MVP now uses ffmpeg for transcoding instead of the old trans2mvp method
- Fixed a bug with the upgrade procedure that would break the database connection strings if the user had skipped v0.97 jumping straight to v0.98.8
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error when stopping net radio playback when using 'VMR9 Custom' video renderer
- MuxChecker will now list ATI Mux if it is found on the machine.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a permanent database lock with SQLite database during auto file conversion
- Fixed a bug that could cause a crash when using the 'play' button on the left of the video library
- Integrated functionality for system sounds, much like that available previously in the BleepBloop plugin. Can be enabled/disabled in the Settings screen. Works with all remote types (MCE, Hauppauge, Direct Access etc). Not available on MVP.
- Added ability to configure the slide show delay
- 'Play all' on video files will not show the resume prompt
- Fixed a bug Video/Music/Photo Library when navigating directories that contained ".." somewhere in the name
- Fixed a bug with the built-in MCE2005 IR Blaster support
- Added some logic to stop it returning to the menu when exiting an item on a sub menu
- Fixed a bug on the Search Guide screen that was not correctly highlighting a scheduled recording in some specific circumstances.
- If a recording is transcoded externally from GB-PVR, it'll now detect the new file name and update the recording even if is set to false (previously didnt do it unless set to true)
- Fixed a problem with learning the ASPECT key when using an USB-UIRT remote control.
- Fixed a bug with the signal quality/strength being reversed in the live tv signal popup.
- Fixed a bug with the way plugins were loaded in v0.98.8 that could stop plugins receiving events.
- Added some log messages to help track down the cause of a SQLite database locking error that occurs for some users
- Improved volume control, including OSD graphics. (not for MVP - I have very little control over the volume on the MVP, and no way to determine what the volume is)
- Fixed a bug that could cause live tv to not exit cleanly on an MVP when the tuner needs to be used for a recording.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the right hand side of subtitles to become skewed. It only happened with some broadcasters due to differences in the way they encode the images. It had been noticed with Scandanavian broadcasts.
- You can now toggle the auto comskip jump during playback by pressing 999. Useful if you find comskip has really stuffed up the commerical detection on a show you're watching.
- Fixed a bug that would cause it to often say 'subtitles enabled' on the OSD when in live tv.
- Fixed a view bugs with the DVD player, and improved compatibility with DVD nagivators from Cyberlink, Intervideo etc.
- Fixed a skinning problem in the Video Library that could cause the background to get darker and darker when the 'delete file' popup was on the screen
Version 0.98.8
- Release Date: Sep 11, 2006
- Added PC client support. To install a client, do a normal install, then on the capture source page of the config app, tick the 'act as client' tick box and key in the server name. You can select to use either streaming or file sharing for playback. The file sharing option is required if you're using DVR-MS files. I highly recommend the use of the SQLite database on the server if you want to run a client/server setup, it performs much better.
- Added initial DVB Subtitle support. Its only available for live preview mode, and video playback at this stage (not timeshift mode). Still a bit experimental, but let me know how you get on. Some additional information is required that was not previously collected - so you'll need to rescan for channels to get this working. Make sure you hit 'ok' to save after rescanning.
- Fixed a bug with the new Video Library screen where the transcoding status window would not automatically update, and close once complete (ready for subsequent transcodings). This also corrected a problem with trying to convert DVR-MS files to other types.
- Fixed a bug with ATSC DVR-MS recordings.
- Fixed a bug that could result in a small amount file not being played on the MVP at the end of an audio/video file, and could also lead to server disconnections.
- Several changes on the MVP front to accomodate changes to both MVP hardware and Hauppauge dongle.bin software. GBMVP.BIN dongle is no longer included with the release, and will most likely not be returning in the future. Video in a window is now possible using the standard Hauppauge dongle.bin which is included with the release. These major changes mean old dongle.bin files may not work with GB-PVR (not tested though).
- Fixed a bug that could cause 'record until I exit live tv' function to drop the user back to the menu screen, particularly for DVB and ATSC capture devices.
- Fixed a bug with .m3u files in the recent music library rewrite.
- Fixed incorrect bda.ini entry for Freecom DVB-T stick.
- Fixed a bug where a plugin's IMenuTask.deactivate() was not being called when user used shortcut keys to jump directly to other plugins like TV Guide.
- Fixed sort order for non-NTFS filesystems with Video/Music/Photo library
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Hauppauge MediaMVP screen saver to appear.
- Added a few small improvement to the look and behaviour of the tv guide, including SpecialElement tags to specify whether colors or icons are used to high scheduled recordings, and by how much currently playing shows should be brightened. Fixed bug with using linear colour gradients in listings, which were broken in some situations previously. Also improved selection of show when using the up/down keys to switch between channels.
- Improved behaviour when having to load several photos file to show thumbnails. Loading 9/12/16 large photos to produce thumbnails previously made for a bad experience. Now it only does a few photos at a time, which makes things appear more responsive. Will also use thumbs.db for fast access if it exists.
- Slightly improved DVB tuning logic. May help with a couple of problems I've seen mentioned.
- Built-in TFTP server will now be more reliable on networks that lose a lot of UDP packets.
- Dropped support of gbmvp.bin dongle, due to incompatibilities with new Hx model MVP hardware. Its extra features, like video in a window, have now been incorporated in to the Hauppauge dongle.
- A few small enhancements to the SkinHelper, including support for the tag, and named colors being able to reference other named colour. I've also moved a few more items into the BaseSkin.xml in the default blue skin (screen name, a few standard colours etc).
- Improved scanning for DVB-T. Should now automatically detect channels with 166KHz offset on those devices that previously had problem with this.
- When .srt files are recorded, now the filename has same case as the video file. Some players were previously confused by the lower case name.
- Fixed a bug with using MCE or USB-UIRT remotes when also using MVP servers
- Search Guide screen is now more skinnable. It also shows which episodes of show that are already scheduled or recorded.
- Changed the way non .MP3 audio files are transcoded for playback on the MVP. Much more robust than old mechanism.
- Changed the way IR200L IR blasting is done, to avoid a rare problem where the thirdparty IR200L code could cause the GB-PVR Recording Service to hang the main thread, stopping any future recordings.
- Minor changes to how 'pending' and 'ready' manual recordings are shown in the Recordings screen. Long filenams could previously could messy wrap around of text.
- fixed a couple of teletext bugs (high CPU usage in subtitle mode, background colours in subtitle mode, loss of teletext and subtitles during channel change)
- Fixed a bug that would cause each screen to be drawn twice for every keypress when using the Horizontal menu. This would slow things down, particularly when using higher resolution skins. Skins like Sassari should be much faster now.
- Fixed a bug that cause the second net radio station to stop prematurely when you try to listen to it.
- Added 'settings' screen in System menu. Its still a bit rough and only has a few settings as an initial cut. More to be added in coming releases.
- Fixed a bug that could cause AVI files to have their frame rate detected incorrectly. This would interfere with the use of comskip on AVI files.
- Fixed support for the and settings in config.xml when using the VMR9 Custom renderer
- Fixed a bug that could cause messages like 'switching to timeshift mode' to be shown over the menus rather than a black background
- Number pad can now be used for text entry on the search guide screen when using an MVP, or if you have the option enabled on misc tab of the config app
- You can now optionally specify the executable name used to perform transcoding in the setting in config.xml. The default is ffmpeg.exe.
- Transcode menu option in the video library now gives you the option to convert DVR-MS to MPEG2. This particular conversion now also works correctly with AC3 audio.
- Recordings screen will now auto refresh
- Fixed a bug with 'record until' popup when used from timeshift mode.
- Fixed a long standing bug where watching live tv on a capture source that was associated with a capture device that had an additional capture source that was about to start a recording could cause the recording to fail.
Version 0.97.13
- Release Date: Jul 8, 2006
- Fixed a bug that could lead to failed recordings if live tv was left running.
- Fixed a bug that could cause an error bringing up the tv guide while watching live tv
- Fixed a couple of minor teletext subtitle bugs
- Added logic to live preview mode tv initiate a channel change as soon as the user has typed the correct number of digits on the remote, rather than waiting a short period of time. Makes channel changing seem that little bit quicker. Cant do the same for timeshift mode since numbers also prefix other actions such as 'skip'.
- Fixed a bug with the Record Until popup shown if you hit "record" while watching tv.
- Fixed a bug with the overscan settings that could cause corruption around the edges of the screen in fullscreen mode
- Fixed a couple of bugs in the PsiParser that could cause crashes during live tv or recordings
- Fixed a bug that could result in blank lines in SRT subtitle files recorded by GB-PVR. The blank lines would ultimately cause problems with subtitles when they were later played back.
- Fixed a bug with skipping on the MVP during playback of an in-progress recording
- Fixed a screen flicker that would occur each time you press a key when using the VMR9 Custom renderer and showing video in a window.
- Changed the way the VMR9 Custom renderer composites elements on the screen. This change was made as a work around for nvidia owners that used to get screen corruption when using hardware accelleration with most aspect ratios. Be sure to select the 'VMR9 Custom' renderer option if you need to use this. VRM7 and VMR9 renderers still have this problem and will require nvidia to fix.
- Fixed a bug that could stop the user from being able to edit the 'live tv' quality profile in the config app.
- Fixed a bug with the and settings being ignored when playing back recordings.
- Fixed a bug that could lead to duplicate channels being created when you were using MS Access database.
- Slight change to scheduling logic to reduce the chances of getting conflicts on two-tuner systems when the system schedules season recordings.
- Fixed a bug with DVB channel scanning when using the DVR-MS mux
- Music Library and Video Library have been re-written. Functionality and appearance is pretty much the same as before, but the new screens are much more skinnable.
- Added page up/down to new Photo/Music/Video library screens.
- Added logic to cope with recent ATI 550 driver changes.
- Fixed a bug that could cause old show listings not to be removed from the database when 'complete EPG reload' is configured (and user has a capture source with 'no EPG').
- When audio is being played back, and you pause the music, you can now press the pause key again to resume playback (or 'play' key, as it has been up until now).
- When the user attempts to delete a recording from the Recordings screen, it'll only proceed if the system can succesfully delete the video file. This is to stop recordings being left on the file system, but not listed in GB-PVR. This could occur when the video is being processed with comskip or other utilities at the time the delete was attempted.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the 'constant channel number' to be sent through the IR Blaster for each channel change after the initial startup of live tv.
Version 0.97.9
- Release Date: Jun 3, 2006
- Fixed a bug that could cause comskip files to be ignored while playing videos
- Fixed a bug with zap2it duplicate detection on shows with identifiers ending in 0000 (ie, no episode info available)
- Photo Library now remembers last view mode
- Fixed a bug with Photo Library list mode which wouldnt allow you to press left key to get back to playback controls.
- Fixed an issue with DVD playback that could cause it to lock up and consume 100% of the CPU
- Fixed a bug that could MVP playback to fail from UNC paths
- Fixed a bug where a bad PostProcessing.bat/ParallelProcessing.bat/UpdateEpg.bat/PostUpdateEpg.bat could kill the recording service.
- Fixed a bug where a bad photo could cause an OutOfMemeory exception in the Photo Library
- Changed the metadata functionality to handle non-ANSI charactersets correctly.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the Actisys IR200L blaster to fail when trying to emit IR signals.
- Fixed a bug with USB-UIRT which would cause intercode delay and repeat code to only be honoured during first channel change.
- Fixed a bug that was stopping the PVR350 tv out from working.
- Fixed a bug that was interfering with the .DVR-MS -> .MPG file conversions
- Fixed a bug with the logic that switches focus back to the original instance of GB-PVR if a second instance was started when GB-PVR is running fullscreen. This bug could cause the GB-PVR screen to move down and to the right by a few inches.
- Fixed a bug with the ChangeDatabase utility to could cause an error message during data conversion, and possible failed recordings.
- Improved handling of situation where user has configured app to use USB-UIRT, but this device is not present
- Improved handling of situation where user has configured app to use 'direct access to Hauppauge remote', but does not have the Hauppauge IR DLLs installed, or doesnt have a device compatible with this feature (for PVR250/350's only).
- Fixed a bug with manually adding channels when using SQLite database
- Fixed a bug that could cause problems booting MVPs.
- Fixed a bug that could cause problems initating video playback on an MVP.
- Fixed a bug with DVB auto PID mapping
- Updated version of Web Admin
- Fixed a bug that would cause the VMR9 renderer to not restore back to the last known aspect ratio when playing video/live tv.
- This build should again work on 64 bit editions of Windows XP (x64).
Version 0.97.7
- Release Date: May 15, 2006
- Moved application to .Net 2.0
- Added option to use SQLite database instead of MS Access. Optional in this release. Mandatory in the next release. I've included a utility which can be used to switch databases, and to migrate your existing data. It should also be possible to use other databases like MSDE and SQL Server with minimal work and a few changes to the config.xml
- Added DiSEqC support for Hauppauge Nova-S-Plus/SE2
- Added 'Photo Library'.
- Added logic to stop machine going to sleep while UpdateEPG.bat executes.
- Added support for booting the newer "H" models of Hauppauge MVP. Dont use these new models with gbmvp.bin though - use dongle.bin (there has been some changes to the hardware it doesnt cope with yet).
- Added channel scanning for ATSC
- Added ability to Update EPG from the System menu
- Improved teletext to include direct selection of subpages. When viewing teletext up/down changes pages, left/right changes between subpages.
- changes to how aspect ratio control work, including automatic aspect ratio (where possible), and dynamic detection of aspect ratio changes in DVB streams. For this to work correctly with MPEG2 files, you need to have explicitly specified the MPEG2 decoder rather than relying on the 'System Default' setting.
- Improved handling of non-english characters with DVB EPG.
- Updated MVP's transcoding feature so that it will now also handle .MP4 files.
- Implemented partial support for DVB channels using H264 video streams (MPEG-4). This only provides partial support - it'll give you correct identification of these channels when scanning, and if you're lucky, live preview mode live tv. Very experimental...If you've got the correct combination of directshow filters, and the wind is blowing in the right direction, then it might work. Recording will be implemented in a future release.
- Case will be ignored when showing the group names in the Recordings screen.
- Changed the way GB-PVR determines the machines IP address, which may be more friendly to wireless setups.
- Improved handling for switching between different types of audio/video used on different DVB channels
- XMLTV EPG plugin will now accept the non-standard zap2it element for supplying the unique show id.
- Fixed a bug with MCE2005 IR Blaster support
- Fixed a bug with direct recording plugin's "external tuner, constant channel" option.
- Fixed a bug with the MVP which could result in disconnects
- Fixed a bug with changing channels with DVB-C
- Fixed a bug that could cause the screen saver to stay active, after having been active for a long time.
- Fixed a bug with video playback on the MVP when the file timestamps did not start from zero (like those captured by the Maui devices). File duration could be reported as much longer than they really were, resulting in problems with skipping and determining the current position.
- Fixed a bug that could result in the user being kicked out of live tv after 30 seconds.
- Fixed a bug with the MVP interrupting WMA playback to play another WMA file.
- Fixed a bug that could result in missing lines of Teletext data or missing teletext subtitles.
- Fixed a bug with duplicate recordings.
- Fixed a bug that would cause strange behaviour in the FM Radio screen if you'd entered two radio stations with the same name (unable to add new stations, edit station names etc).
- Fixed a bug with using the DVR-MS mux with timeshift mode tv.
Version 0.96.12
- Release Date: Mar 4, 2006

- Fixed a bug with pressing the left arrow twice on the quality setting of the schedule recording screen.
- Fixed a bug with channels with AC3 audio.
- Fixed position of video inset window for VMR7.
- Fixed a bug that could result in two video files (or dvds) playing at the same time.
- Fixed a bug that could cause reoccurring manual recordings to be deleted during the EPG update.
- Added option to config.xml to have video also obey the overscan settings. Previously this only applied to the menus etc.
- Fixed a bug which could cause the mouse clicks to not register on OSD buttons.
- Fixed a bug with identifying mouse click locations when in fullscreen mode and overscan values are non zero.
- Fixed a bug that sometimes caused small square boxes to appear of the left of the teletext screen
- Fixed a bug that could cause the MVP to keep streaming net radio stations after the MVP was put into standby
- Fixed a couple of bugs related to using the FM radio plugin on a sub menu.
- Added a couple of API changes required for the web admin
- A few speed and stability improvemnts for digital cards in live preview mode. These only apply when you are still using the default true setting.
- The needsRendering() method is no longer called when the music visualizations are fullscreen
- More improvements to the MVP client (pressing Skip multiple times in quick succession, initializing video output correctly after MVP has been in standby... etc)
- DVxplorer based cards like the Emuzed Maui cards should now work. If you're in a PAL country though, you'll probably need to set the ForceStandard setting in direct.ini to force the card into PAL mode. It seems to always default to NTSC.
