PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS and DELETE THE INSTALLATION DIRECTORY BEFORE INSTALLING 2.1.2

The complete list of changes:

Changelog for 2.1 Release 2 (32bit and 64bit)
1. Fixed a major bug which caused the remixing to fail due to an unsupported H.264, HD or some WTV video formats. Now an alternative failback remux mechanism is used using ffmpeg when remuxsupp fails.
2. ReAdded support for ShowAnalyzer (version 1.0 or higher), enhanced support to stop ShowAnalyzer if job is deleted
3. Fixed bug when pressing delete without any files in the queue caused the app to crash
4. Fix a bug on the GUI when parallel jobs are running, they do not show
5. Fixed bugs when pressing the delete button without selecting any entries caused a crash and validation for directory entries in the add buttons
6. Fixed closing log files on cancelling jobs
7. Fixed manual queue file not deleting entries after job being cancelled or finished
8. Fixed a bug in commercial removal to remove commercials from m4v and mpg files
9. Fix a bug in progress indicator and return status
10. Speed up mencoder decoding and encoding by dynamically enabling multithreading and automatic calculation of threads based on number of processors. Can we overridden explicitly in the profiles.conf encoding/decoding parameters
11. Added limited support for .mpg stream commercial cutting (may cause audio sync issues)
12. Bugfix in FixAudioDelay routine would cause it to fail
13. Fixed a bug that prevented it from converting a readonly file
14. Using the -hr-edl-seek option for mEncoder while cutting commercials to make it more accurate but it slows down the process
15. Fixed a bug with file renaming at the end by metadata (episode, series etc) now happening consistently
16. Revalidated and fixed the entire the conversion logic so that the process fails and exits of each failure better. This will now prevent MCEBuddy from deleting the original file UNLESS the FINAL file is completed and delivered.
17. Fixed a bug to terminate existing jobs when pressing stop or delete
18. Added support for getting an % complete while Getting Video Information
19. Added support for deleting mcebuddy service during a uninstall if left behind
20. New conversion jobs are added at the end of the list now (first come first serve)
21. Fixed video resizing, now the video will resize to smaller size the video width > max width set in the profile parameters page (if fixedresolution is not set to true)
22. One can now skip cropping for each profile through the skipcropping=true parameter (can be coupled with fixedresolution = true)
23. Fixed 6ch audio handling for Handbrake profiles
24. Temp fix for file corruption while writing show information for HD AVI files
25. Fixed DivX conversion profiles which caused failures in the past
26. Fixed bugs in the settings forms where after deleting a task or a source it would leave a blank space in between two entries
27. Fixed bugs in source and conversion forms which would not accurately check the profile names causing missing profiles
28. Fixed a bug in the delete original checkbox on the settings form
29. Added support for archiving files after conversion (will create a directory called MCEBuddyArchive)
30. Fixed a bug in the queuing logic where deleting one job with multiple tasks would stop the others from completing after stopping and restarting the engine
31. Improved audio sync handling for avi and mp4 files
32. Fixed support for checking for new versions of MCEBuddy
33. MCEBuddy engine starts automatically on reboot
34. Added flag “forceedl=true” in the profile.conf which indicates that comskip should use the EDL and NOT the EDLP file for that profile. Needed to fix audio sync for some avi files
35. Added support to automatically restart service in case of a failure on startup
36. Added tool tips on the GUI pages
37. Added a link for getting started and advanced commands guide (refer to Wiki for help guides)
38. Fix a bug in the wildcard name matching code and regex matching code
39. Added support in name matching pattern for avoid lists (i.e. select all names expect the matching pattern, prefix with the ~ operator).Refer to Wiki for more details
40. Fix a bug in the FFMPEG setresize which sometimes caused libxvid to fail due to invalid scale, now set to auto scale and maintain aspect ratio
41. Updated LibMediaInfo libraries
42. Updated FFMPEG executable to 02/15/12 release – performance and stability improvements
43. Fixed a bug in the creation of conversion parameters leading to Audio Sync issues (off by 3 seconds) in ffmpeg driven profiles
44. Fixed an issue with MCEBuddy service crashing during shutdown leading to system error to start MCEBuddy service
45. Fixed a bug in manual tempworking path when using multiple simultaneous conversions

KNOWN ISSUES:
• Using commercial removal with NoRecode profile sometimes causes the audio to be out of sync. This is due to a bug in mEncoder. Workaround to be provided.
