|
Version 0.21 Updated April 14, 2007 |
|
| Screen metrics can be customized and are saved per-receiver so you can adjust the visible area for each receiver in your home to maximize the display but ensure nothing disappears in any overscan region. From the Main Menu, press 5 5 4 1 ENTER to make adjustments. | |
| Minor change to the way ffmpeg.exe is invoked to avoid a potential error on some platforms/ffmpeg.exe versions. Note that ffmpeg.exe is not included in the distribution and must be obtained elsewhere. | |
|
Version 0.20 Updated April 14, 2007 |
|
| Added support for downloading and transcoding video previews that are then viewable on TiVo Receivers that are able to play videos from the local PC. To completely disable this functionality from appearing in the app, add "previewQueue.enabled=false" and "videoServer.enabled=false" to unboxOnDemand.properties. | |
| Added Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista wrapper to run app as a service. | |

|
Version 0.12 Updated April 8, 2007 |
|
| Fixed mapping of the switch-to-lower-case item on the upper case keyboard. | |

Configure the PINs in unboxOnDemand.properties. Add a line "purchasePin=012345" to set the default PIN (012345 in this example). Add a line "host.purchasePin=2222" to set the receiver-specific PIN (2222 in this example) where "host" is the receiver name. You can leave the PIN blank to disable requiring a PIN. | |
| Integrated Keyword Search into Main Menu; integrated Movie Rental, Movie Purchase and TV by Content Provider browsing into Browse by Category. | |
|
Version 0.10 Updated April 6, 2007 |
|
| Testing keyword searching. From the Main Menu, press 2 3 ENTER to create and use keyword searches. "*" seems to work at the end of keywords as a wildcard. Separate multiple keywords with a space. | |
| Corrected image extraction added in 0.09 so that it detects the image in both non-flash player and flash player item detail layouts. | |
|
Version 0.09 Updated April 5, 2007 |
|
| Fixed appearance of several characters used in Amazon descriptions and titles that are not supported on TiVo receivers and were appearing as rectangles. | |
| Corrected detection of first-time Unbox purchase so that the one-time extra confirmation step can be completed automatically. | |
| Extract image from item details when image information wasn't available earlier; affects Your Media Library listings and listings from new search methods. | |
| Testing new search methods; from the Main
Menu screen: Browse TV Shows by Content Provider: Press 2 0 ENTER Browse Movie Rentals: Press 2 1 ENTER Browse Movie Purchases: Press 2 2 ENTER If tests go well these will be integrated into the Main Menu. For now they're only accessible as hidden items. |
|
|
Version 0.08 Updated April 2, 2007 |
|
| Sometimes a non-breaking space was part of the TiVo receiver name which would prevent a direct match with the receiver name that was sent upon connection with the application. Added preprocessing to strip everything out. | |
| Bookmark list names and member titles now update automatically if changes are made while browsing the lists. | |
|
Version 0.07 Updated April 1, 2007 |
|
| Bookmarks were not being properly initialized when app was run from a Series 3 that was in 640x480 mode when it was connecting. Possibly related to native resolution setting on the Series 3. | |
|
Version 0.06 Updated April 1, 2007 |
|
| The default resolution of the application always was 720p (1280x720) on a Series 3 device because the Series 3 receiver reports that as its preferred resolution when starting an HME application. This caused display problems for users who did not have an HD display connected. Unbox On Demand can be forced to 640x480 resolution automatically. This configuration is saved per-receiver. To toggle between 640x480 and the normal preferred resolution of your receiver, press 4 2 0 1 ENTER from the main menu. Changes will take effect after you exit and reenter Unbox On Demand from the TiVo receiver. | |
|
Version 0.05 Updated April 1, 2007 |
|
| Added some error checking to correct an error that may affect some platforms during display of detail screens selected from the Your Media Library area. | |
| After editing the email address and saving changes the Your Media Library data is now properly updated. | |
| Added some filtering on product data to minimize or prevent mis-categorized material from showing up within lists. | |
| Added support for multiple pages of Your Media Library items. | |
| Added ability to keep 10 different lists of bookmarks. | |
| Added 24-hour caching of ASIN data retrieved from Amazon. | |
|
Version 0.04 Updated March 29, 2007 |
|
| Added support for refreshing receiver list with Amazon Unbox. | |
| Added support for entering Amazon email address and password from the user interface. | |
|
Version 0.03 Updated March 28, 2007 |
|
| Corrected code that tried to process keypresses before the screen had been constructed, such as pressing the RIGHT button repeatedly without waiting for the screen to appear. This had been crashing the app. | |
| Added option to control font size used on the item detail screen. | |
| Fixed appearance of page up/down hints on scrolling pages. | |
| Fixed appearance of final buy/rent/download/cancel menu choices to be flush against the screen bottom in all cases. | |
|
Version 0.02 Updated March 28, 2007 |
|
| Parsing of the Your Media Library page now identifies movies and TV series episodes and ignores any other product lines that might be listed there. | |
| An application crash occurring if you select the "Not Available" button has been fixed. | |
| If your account is not one-click enabled and there's no credit card stored in your Amazon one-click profile, an error will occur when you attempt to make a purchase. This error is now specifically identified to the user. | |
| Initial display of item details has been sped up in many cases; instead of waiting on both purchase and rental information for a title, the display will be updated after each step. | |
| If a purchase and a rental both exist for a title but one is not available for download at this time, when selecting the title using that now-unavailable variation, the system would not try to locate the other variation, which was still available. | |
| Support to re-download purchased videos has been added. | |
|
Version 0.01 Updated March 27, 2007 |
|
| This is the first public release of the software. As with any first release, there's likely to be occasional problems. But don't let the version number scare you too much. It's really pretty functional right now! | |
