Version 4.3.1.100 BETA
expires 30.04.2010

* Fix: OSD TTX Subtitles: Fixed wrong colors shown.
* Fix: BDA Hardware: For TT devices without the TT dll the wrong DiSEqC method was used.
* Fix: Playback: Griga fixed the frame rate detection for h.264 files.
* Fix: System: In case of a faulty configuration XML file this file now is renamed and replaced with a new one.
* Fix: Timers: The %name placeholder for recording names was not filled correctly.
* Add: Actions: Added actions to toggle display/sorting/sort direction in music/video/picture OSD-windows:
ACTION_TOGGLE_VIEW=8278
ACTION_TOGGLE_SORT=8279
ACTION_TOGGLE_SORTDIRECTION=8280
* Fix: Filter property pages: Changed the way the property pages of filters are handled, so not more side effects do occur.
* Fix: Recorder window: Deleting a remote running timer also delete the recorded file on the recording service.
* Add: Playback: Files with the extension ".mts" are now handled like .m2ts (bluray) files. On existing installations you have to add the extension manually to the video options.
* Add: OSD Windows: Added a default and a dynamic Backdrop (background) to the OSD window xml definition.
The default backdrop must be an image file with the size of the OSD skin.
The dynamic backdrop can be empty or contain a data tag which points to a qualified file name of an image. If the image is not found or the data tag is empty the default backdrop will be shown.
If custom renderers are used, the backdrops will be drawn by D3D which should improve the performance. Be careful: OSD dialog windows can't use the backdrops!
For an example and an updated skin editor take a look at the "OSD Demo skin & Editor" in the beta section of the membersarea.
* Fix: Recorder Window: For a new empty timer sometimes the wrong time format was used.
* Change: Teletext OSD window: You can now cycle through several transparencies with OSD-Red (F5). The viewer will remember the last selected transparency and use it the next time the window is shown.
* Update: Updated several language files.
* Change: Custom Renderers: Reworked the custom renderers once more. Hopefully this will fix the problem with stuttering and stopping. Please test.

* Add: DirectX Options: Added "Reset Device on monitor change". This setting equals the tweak "D3DCompleteResetMonitorChange".
