[QUOTE="Tuomaa, post: 965207, member: 56931"] [URL='http://cecremote.googlecode.com/files/CecRemote-0-9-0-beta.mpe1']CecRemote 0.9.0 - beta[/URL] New version of CecRemote is available for download. Marked as beta, because there is many new features and some testing on different setups is needed. New features and changes are listed below, complete changelog and source is available later.
