Extender Updates
1. Fixed smooth FF/REW for HD files on the STX-HD100 so that it matches the desired rate much better
2. Changed behavior of property ‘ui/enable_hardware_scaling_cache’ so
that it makes image loading on the STX-HD100 behave like the MediaMVP
(but this will negatively impact performance of the extender so this is
not on by default). This will resolve users issues with large custom
thumbnails.
3. Fixed bug on STX-HD100 where clipped non-filled rectangles wouldn’t render
4. Moved default advanced aspect ratio to be in the client’s properties; not the server’s (also fixed support for this property)
5. Fixed support for AVI, MP4, MKV and ASF files that dont’ have native
codec support on the HD extender so that the server will transcode them
(such as MJPEG and WMV8)

Placeshifter updates
1. Fixed playback of MKV files on a local network

Windows Updates
1. Added support for KWorld DVB-T USB 339U (AF9015 DVB) dual tuner
2. Added support for KWORD DVB-T PCI 160 (dual tuner)
3. Fixed bug where the video wouldn’t be visible after changing channels sometimes until an OSD refresh when using VMR9
4. Don’t try to generate thumbnails for files recorded with the
ConvertX because the thumbnail generator can’t parse the MPEG2 format
used by those recordings
5. Fix: new SageTV software Video encoder wrong aspect ratio
6. Fix Broken code for old HDHR BDA driver support
7. Updated bundled JRE installer to the latest 1.6.0_04

Studio Updates
1. Don’t report animations as being supported if the rendering device
doesn’t support it (it used to just rely on the property’s value)
2. Only let animations target components in the top options menu of the UI if an options menu is visible
3. Added interruptable animation support (through an optional parameter
to AnimateVariable, AnimateTransition and AnimateDelayed)
4. Fixed bug where full screen BG layer ‘out’ animations didn’t work if
an ‘in’ animation for the BG layer was happening at the same time

STV Updates
1. Look for "background.jpg" themed BG image instead of "Background.jpg", so the file can be found on a case sensitive OS.
2. The videoframe/always_call_fileplaybackfinished property is always
reset to false since some custom STVs always set it to true.
3. Fixed calls where ChannelSet() was using GetPhysicalChannelNumberForLineup() instead of GetChannelNumberForLineup().
4. Removed BG for color calibration screen.

5. Fixed several places where the focus indicator was on top of the button text.
