+ fixed scheduled clips –conversion, now also scheduled clips gets converted to AVC.
+ totally new VLC version 0.9.2 Grishenko seems to also work with this piipTV release if you use MEPG4 , but if you select MPEG4 AVC VLC will crash, discussion can be monitored here.

If you are using VLC 0.8.6 -series, remember this VLC bug

Requirements:
- PC with Windows OS
- TV card supported by Mediaportal
- Internet connection
- Nokia phone with Videocenter application

What's New in This Release:
+ support for multiple RTSP connection; this means that if you have one TV-card, then several person can watch this selected channel and stream recorded clips. (Next release; If you have multiple TV-cards several users can watch different channels and stream recordings.) Limitation comes only from your internet connection speed and your server CPU (VLC encoding eats CPU) Because of this major design / architectural changes has been made in code –level, hope that this does not cause any other problems

+ Mediaportal RC3 is now supported (plugin rebuild in RC3 environment, maybe some binary break between RC2 -> RC3) this reason RC2 and older MP versions are not supported anymore

+ if xmltv is selected to be used as EPG source from plugin UI, and in XMLTV.xml there is any channel that match to piipTV.xml, streaming URL’s are over written in piipTV.xml ->fixed
+ EPG grabbed from TV-card are not refressed, if there is no use for service in two days (no streamers or start/stop service) ->fixed
+ if EPG is not available (country supports only analog TV-card, and that country is not in XMLTV coverage area) add there “if modified tag” so that phone’s Video Center is not trying to update EPG all the time, also dummy program added to EPG from same reasons (can be seen in WEB UI)
+ icons moved to -> PiipIcons –folder and temp folder for plugin files created PiipTemp -folder, old files from plugin root is removed automatically

+ editing channel names does not work; in the MP db there is a "channelname" and "displaychannelname" fields, in XMLTV use case “MTV” vs. “MTV finland” epg is not matching, and analog card case channel named are not fetched from network, those can be now renamed from MP TV-server channels setup. Displayname is updated now to WEB UI and LiveTv, PiipTv recordings category name, this diplay name is updated once new recordings is made. To old recordings category name this is not updated, if you have old recordings you need to copy those manually to new folder! And once changing channel displayname remember to also rename you icon files to correct.

+ http –server allows now multiple connections at same time
+ add to SDP parameter “i=channelname / programname” field, some players are using this info to display data in player UI ->fixed
+ pop-up files generation if service is started with 3g or wlan profile and then changed to PC profile from plug-in UI ->fixed
