MCEBuddy

Believe it or not, after ages MCEBuddy Beta 14 is here.  This the complete drop-in replacement for the existing MCEBuddy.  It runs as a service and converts your files, removes ads, etc.

Known bugs:

• MP4 files of greater than 2GB will not have their ads removed
• Stream based remux and DVR-MS files are not supported in the x64 version
• Internationalisation is not there yet
• The sample video that comes with Windows 7 does not convert (Landscapes.wtv)
• Service sometimes stops with an error

Please read the following!!

• Uninstall any existing MCEBuddy installation first
• Change your settings before starting the engine service
• The engine service can be started from control panel-administrative tools-services (under Windows 7) or simply by restarting your system
• It's still beta, but it's just bug fixing from here, all the core functionality is now there

MCEBuddy 2.0 Betas have recommenced with MCEBuddy 2.0 Reloaded - BETA13

This beta is simply to test the core MCEBuddy engine.  I have wrapped a simple GUI around it to allow manual testing.  Simply select the recording file and press START.  Please report bugs as defined in the "report bugs" button on the UI.  Also, please let us know if it does work as well.

THIS IS NOT A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR THE FULL MCEBUDDY PROGRAM

Currently the beta is a GUI program to test the core MCEBuddy engine, which means (in steps):

1. Extracting meta data and getting more from the internet (title, description, banner picture)
2. Remuxing WTV or DVR-MS (if needed)
3. Scanning for commercials
4. Converting the video (including any weirdness required to support unusual codecs)
5. Removing commercials
6. Writing the meta data to the converted file

This beta is an x86 build only and may not work with 64 bit Windows.
