For The Record 1.3.1.0 has been released!

This is mostly a maintenance release, but there are some new features as well, and the list of changes since version 1.3.0.0 is quite long:

• Core: added two new configuration settings: OneTimeRecordingsFileFormat and SeriesRecordingsFileFormat which are used to rename recordings after they are finished (settable from MMC).
• Core: added setting to use the same recorder/tuner priority for recordings as for live TV (settable from MMC).
• Core: faster guide imports (measured 25% faster, your mileage may vary).
• Core: XMLTV importer now also reads the <episode> node as a fallback to <episode-num>.
• Core: better handling of no-signal situations, will also mail the error now.
• Core: schedule history now takes the episode title and the episode number into account as a combined episode title.
• Core: added warning log for skipped recordings due to no card being found to record them on.
• MMC: new recordings import/synchronization wizard in Management Console (button in "Recorded Programs" panel).
• MMC: new export wizard to easily export your recorded programs to an external device or location.
• MMC: recordings panel now loads all recordings in a background worker.
• MMC: "Record" menuItem is now also available for suggestions and alerts.
• MMC: added splash screen.
• MMC and Server Status: an active recording can now be played using a context menu or double-click.
• MMC and Web Access: groups and non-groups in Recorded Programs are now mixed when ordered by date (identical to the MediaPortal client).
• MediaPortal TV Server: implemented manual channel linking in the recorder/tuner plugin.
• MediaPortal UI: included Aeon Wide skins.
• MediaPortal UI: TV client settings are visible again in MediaPortal's configuration (now installing dummy TVPlugin.dll).
• MediaPortal UI: it's now possible to zap by channel number within the current group.
• MediaPortal UI: prefer AC3 and preferred languages implemented.
• MediaPortal UI: fixed '0' in MediaPortal client fullscreen TV: will swap and zap previous and current channel.
• MediaPortal UI: added global recording indicator.
• MediaPortal UI: crop settings are now correctly applied.
• MediaPortal UI: implemented standard "autofullscreen" and "autoturnontv" settings.
• MediaPortal UI: enhanced program's description, now includes the director and actors (if known).
• MediaPortal UI: Included new Blue3wide skin support.
• MediaPortal UI: Included new Aeon wide skin files from Trevor.
• MediaPortal UI: now respects the "showChannelStateIcons" setting (only recording channels are shown).
• MediaPortal UI: mini-guide now shows state icon for channels that are currently recording.
• MediaPortal UI: implemented record button in MediaPortal TV guide and fullscreen playback.
• MediaPortal UI: TV guide now also shows channels that have no guide data, since zapping to them for live TV makes sense.
• MediaPortal UI: move up/down are now mapped to jumping a big step forward/back, just like the standard TV plugin.
• MediaPortal UI: 'hideAllChannelsGroup' setting will only have effect if there are other groups defined, otherwise the 'All Channels' group will be shown anyway.
• Enhancement: ForTheRecord setup now support IIS7 (Vista) without using compatibility mode.
• Enhancement: ServerStatus Notifier now automatically finds a free TCP port to use, this allows it to run when multiple users are logged into a machine.
• Enhancement: IM-Bot will now keep the server and the local system alive.
• Enhancement: Server status notifier now also shows the schedule name.
• Enhancement: made setup easier for new users by asking for the machine role.
• Bug fix: repeating manual recordings were broken (only the last repeat was used).
• Bug fix: the live TV keep-alive signal from the MediaPortal client is now sent by a background thread and ensures live TV will keep running in all screens.
• Bug fix: skipping the pre-recording in the MediaPortal client plugin now handles the case when pre-record is still in progress correctly.
• Bug fix: MediaPortal client plugin now detects when another type of playback is started while live TV was on, and will end the live TV stream in that case.
• Bug fix: fixed sorting of date/time column in Management Console and Server Status Notifier.
