MyStuff - ChangeLogs

(Fixed). Searches cannot contain bracketed terms before a non bracketed term. So "(TITLE CONTAINS abc OR TITLE CONTAINS def) AND TITLE CONTAINS ghi" will not work, but "TITLE CONTAINS ghi AND (TITLE CONTAINS abc OR TITLE CONTAINS def)" will.
(Fixed). Pressing White and then Rerecord All Episodes on a PS (or SS probably) crashes when you press Exit after the Search phase has completed.
(Fixed). If G2 is set to None, pressing P+ or P- in the Archive might cause MyStuff (and the toppy) to lock up, requiring a reboot.
(Fixed). The UI for Find Matching Programme no longer gives the option of setting Days, +1s, Start Time & End Time (though you can press Menu to switch to an Advanced screen that shows these options).
Better Accurate Bookmark handling in cases where the programme starts early.
Searches are now named after the first keyword found, rather than after the first TITLE keyword found, so "DESCRIPTION DOES NOT CONTAIN abc OR TITLE CONTAINS def" will now be called abc, rather than def. So if you construct your Searches with the most relevant criteria first then it will be named accordingly.Existing Searches will only be renamed once you edit their search criteria, though you do not need to actually make any changes.
(Fixed). Find Matching Programme does not find matching programmes if they already match any existing Searches (ie they exist as a Timer/Exclude Timer/Excess Timer/Duplicate etc).
Pressing Play in the Archive on the currently playing recording will exit the Archive (and resume playback if the playback is currently paused).
(Fixed). Option V10 (AutoMute) does not work for the Single Channel view of the EPG.
(Fixed). Option K6 (Autofile radio recordings to /Radio) does not work for radio recordings made from PS/TS/SSs (which it should do if the PS/TS/SS is not itself set to autofile).
If the N&N box has appeared as a result of changing channel then pressing Recall will switch back to the previous channel, unless you have pressed another key since N&N appeared (in which case it behaves as before).
(Fixed). If you have set MS to PowerOff after the daily EPG scan timer you cannot cancel the PowerOff by pressing keys, as you would normally expect.
(Fixed). Restore Management may not display backups (or allow you to restore to them) if you do not have some actively excluded programmes.
(Fixed). A programme that is being part recorded (by a timer that has manually been edited to only include part of the programme) will show in the EPG as due to be (part) recorded when still a timer, but will not show as being part recorded during actual recording.
Option N5 (Navigate out of a newly emptied folder) now applies to the Recycle Bin folder too.
Confirmation box added to option Z2.
Improved fix for MyStuff not honouring user option to keep Toppy awake after EPG scan if that EPG scan occurs during another recording that the Toppy woke up for. This improved fix copes with the case of the EPG scan occuring during a recording that itself started during the recording that the Toppy woke up for, but that finished after that initial recording.
Possible (and slight!) improvements to the speed of Loading and Searching phases.
MyStuffOptionsExport.txt now updated after an install of a new version of MyStuff, and after completing a Restore operation.
(Fixed). Excess timers may result in MyStuff missing the earliest broadcast of a particular episode, as described here.
New API export file (MyStuff_ArchiveList.apo) listing details of each recording in MyStuff.
(Fixed). Possible crash when entering EPG from Archive or Options when F1 (View on first press of the EPG key) is set to Single.
(Fixed). The legend on the Single Channel view is visible briefly, and then gets erased.
New feature to handle cases where broadcasters add words (such as "New: ") to the start of programme names, stopping Searches from matching them. MyStuff can now read in a file of such prefixes (and channels to apply them to) and will ignore such words when matching against programme names, and when creating Searches based on programme names.
Option P6 (Display Description Area) extended to include an additional value to display only for Timers.
New option (L13) to determine the default search operator (StartsWith/Contains etc) to use when creating new Text/PowerSearches.

New option Y6, to stop MyStuff displaying Delayed Off/Off on the front panel when it has woken up to record.
MyStuff can now protect recordings made when it was not running.
If a recording made when MyStuff was not running contains Extended Text information that is longer than the description held in the file itself, then MyStuff will display that Extended Text as the description. (Not tested on all versions of the Toppy, but should work for all versions that MyStuff currently supports).
Pressing White on a PS or SS will now offer to Rerecord All Episodes, whereas 6.4 only does this on an exploded Search (ie a single series).
New option J7 to display a new Signed icon in Archive/epg/Now & Next on timers that are for Signed programmes.
Better recognition of signed programmes (now looks for SL anywhere in the [] text in descriptions, not just an exact match for [SL].
Correct display of accented characters.
MyStuff will now maintain a specified number of days worth of backups of system files, and allow the user to restore MyStuff to any of those dated backups using the options menu (options Z8 and Z9).
New Recovery Mode. If MyStuff detects that it crashed on the last startup it will run in Recovery Mode. This will prompt you to restore to one of the above backups, and to delete all your EPG files. You can choose to do both, either or neither of these. If you are not around at the time then MyStuff will not restore anything, not delete anything, and then close down without crashing.
New option to allow notifications (which will pop up at the bottom of the screen) for: Starting Recording; Ending Recording; Bad File; Clashes.
Option to change display of blocked channels in EPG (channels that are not currently available because of dual recordings) from colouring the entire row to drawing a line through only the parts of programmes on that channel that are unavailable.
Neater switching of full screen OSDs (eg from Archive to EPG, EPG to Options etc).
Pressing Blue on a merged file in the recycle bin will now offer to select any other parts of that merged file that are also in the bin.
New option to have all radio recordings autofiled in /Radio (or /Radio/{Programme Name}).
New option to show Edit Search screen when creating new Searches from EPG/Now & Next. This allows you to edit the Search before it does the initial search.
Barebones MP3 player added. Press Tv/Radio button whilst in Archive to switch to (or from) MP3 Archive, then use OK to enter folders (albums), or Play to start playback of folders (albums) or files (tracks), or Blue to select folders and files for sequential playback.
More powerful and flexible search criteria in PowerSearches and SeriesSearches.
Better handling of favourite lists that contain duff channels.
New option to select the first recording in a folder (rather than the Parent Folder entry) when entering a folder in the Archive.
New option to play the first recording in a folder when pressing Play on that folder in the Archive.
New option to display MyStuff Options screen (rather than Toppy options) when pressing Menu key with no OSDs visible. If enabled, the Toppy options can still be accessed by pressing the Play key before pressing Menu.
PSs can now be set to append a series identifier based on the Series Crid to the folder used to autofile matching recordings, to create eg "The Simpsons\Series A" and "The Simpsons\Series B" when matching programmes wth two different series crids.
(Fix) Screensaver now displays completely opaque regardless of current system OSD transparency setting.
Edit Search screen split between Normal and Advanced pages.
Faster navigation around Class Resolution screen when you have timers set for split programmes (such as films).
If you exclude a series that is currently being recorded by a PS or an SS then MyStuff will now offer to also exclude any other broadcasts of the same series that it detects. Especially useful for excluding a series on ITV2 and automatically excluding the same series from ITV2+1.
(Fix) Accurate Bookmark support now works during chase play
Accurate Bookmark support extended to support end bookmarks, so playback will continue beyond the point at which MyStuff thinks the programme has finished, if there is an AB coming up.
New option N5 to make MyStuff automatically return to the parent folder after you have deleted the last visible folder or recording it contains.
New option C10 to allow you to wrap to the end of the EPG when scrolling left from the first entry, and to scroll to the first entry when scrolling right from the last entry
Fix for Start-End in Timer Archive sometimes being truncated (depending on installed font).
Can now press Stop on an mp3 file in Archive to stop playback.
Fix for Clash Warning dalog appearing incorrectly when setting one-shot timers in EPG.
Fix for MyStuff not correctly resolving resolvable clashes where one of the clashes overlaps with the EPG scan timer.
Fix for MyStuff not honouring user option to keep Toppy awake after EPG scan if that EPG scan occurs during another recording that the Toppy woke up for.
Fix for deleting Search from Search Explosion screen sometimes deleting wrong Search.
Fix for clicking OK on Search (to enter Search Explosion screen) exploding wrong Search if you have just adjusted the priority of a Search.
Fix for bad drawing of footer on Move To box if the only entry is the [..] line.

(Fixed) If you change an old TextSearch to Auto Delete after X weeks, when the Search is already at least X weeks old, then MS may crash.
(Fixed) If your Q2 setting is None then pressing the Archive key in the EPG on something you are due to record can cause a crash.
(Fixed) Archive displays incorrectly if logo files are not installed.
(Fixed) Option Z1 (and possibly background EPG reloads) can cause channel names to display incorrectly until the next MS restart.
(Fixed) Trying to rerecord a Duplicate programme only works until the next time MS is restarted, at which point it forgets that you have asked it to rerecord.
(Fixed) When displaying folders in the MoveTo line in Edit Timer/Search subfolders are not displayed in the correct order.
(Fixed) Deleting an active recording very shortly after starting it, especially when currently playing back a different file, can crash MS.
(Fixed) If MS merges a one shot timer with another timer (one shot or normal) when both are set to AutoFile then one or the other, or both, may fail to AutoFile.
(Fixed) If U8 is Fade Out and K10 is Power then using Blue to create a new Search of any type other than PowerSearch will result in onscreen pixelation/corruption, and leave the toppy in a state liable to crash.
(Fixed) Stopping an Instant Recording of several merge parts, before some of the merge parts have started recording, results in a crash.
(Fixed) Leaving playback to complete all the way through can result in Playback Stopped message appearing repeatedly.
(Fixed) Entering the merged recordings/timers screen and deleting all visible recordings/timers, and then pressing Green or Exit to exit the merge screen results in a crash.
Added a fix for some EPG files that could cause crashes on EPG loading.
(Slightly) Slicker starting of playbacks from the Archive, to reduce the appearance of live tv before playback starts.
If MyStuff is unable to set a timer from the EPG the message box that tells you of the unavoidable clash will now optionally take you to the Clashing Timers screen of the Archive, to allow you to try to resolve the clash.
New option (T9) to AutoMute when displaying Archive, EPG or Options screens.
New ScreenSaver for cats.
Fix for some Search oddness that could result if you delete a Search (via the EPG or Archive) and (before MyStuff is closed) MyStuff finds a new series that matches one of your other Searches. It could result in some new episodes being missed, or other possible oddness.
New option (J6). When choosing to 'Record This Episode At A Different Time' MyStuff can now let you know if/when it will be recorded instead. You can then choose to change your mind, and keep the original timer.
Delete Search is now available on the White menu on Search set timers in the EPG or Archive.
When choosing to Not Record (or Record At A Different Time), timers which have series data but not episode data, MyStuff will now alert you to that fact that it cannot ensure that the episode won't (or will) be recorded later.
New options (C8, C9) to extend the Now line in Grid EPG to cover the entire EPG area, rather than just the timeline at the top.
New option (L11) to display Archive when playback stops.
Pressing Red on recordings in the Archive will Protect them. Protected recordings cannot be deleted, and will not be QuickDeleted. They can be unprotected by pressing Red again.
Stop Recording box now shows all parts of currently recording merges.
Press and Hold record will now show all currently recording programmes.
New option (L12). Press and Hold archive key can now display Archive with Searches by Name or Priority selected.
Phone pad style text input as shortcuts to jump to timers is now extended to include exploded Genre only Search results, and the Move To dialog.
Move To dialog now includes a scrollbar and a key legend.
Significantly faster expanding of large Searches (eg a Genre Only Search that matches 700+ programmes), and sideways scrolling within that expanded Search.
Change to the way Watch Timers are handled, to make them behave more like they did in 6.2. The change introduced in 6.3 was unintentional :)
If MyStuff is started when the toppy internal clock has not been set then MyStuff will not attempt to obey Daily PowerOff settings.
Changes to significantly reduce the number of calls to one of the Toppy API functions that is (at the time of writing) suspected of causing the hard disk wipe when recording during low quality reception.
New option to force MyStuff to re-record all episodes of a series.
Snow screensaver renamed as Rain, and a new, more snow like Snow screensaver added.
Minor bug fixes.

In the following points, the significance of the speed ups and memory changes will depend on a number of factors, such as number of exclude timers, number of recordings, size of EPG data etc
Faster Loading on MyStuff startup
Faster Searching when loading new EPG data (eg on startup), and when creating new Searches
Faster access to Archive
Faster navigation around Archive (eg when holding the down button pressed, and when switching views)
Faster response to the Instant Recording box when choosing to record from Now
Faster shutdowns when using SDS
Reduction in amount of memory used by MyStuff (especially when Archive displayed)
Change to memory handling so that MyStuff will attempt to reuse memory it has already allocated rather than freeing it and allocated more. Should result in a more stable level of free & available memory
Several new screensaver styles added (Bouncing Balls, Starfield 1, Starfield 2, Starfield 3, Starfield 4, Lines, Snow, Matrix and Life, and screensaver options split off into their own section)
You can now specify that a TextSearch/SeriesSearch should delete itself after x number of weeks
Some tidy ups to the display of the first column of the Archive, the description area of the Archive, and the EPG/Now & Next headers, for timers or programme names that are too long to be displayed in full
Built-in Shutdown/PowerOff handling as an option (Thanks to EMJB & FireBird). If selected, MyStuff can also be set to automatically PowerOff at a set time each day
More recordings now displayed on the Recently Played Files list

Attempts to be more resiliant when loading bad EPG files
>> and << now work in ExInfo to scroll by a page
Fix for crashes caused by long file names (especially when deleting/undeleting files)
Fix for crash in EPG with long programme names (eg the Complete Smiley case as reported on the forum)
Export Settings now also backs up MyStuff.dat to a time dated file
Fix for the first press of 7 in Find Matching Porgrammes entering a 'T' rather than a 'P'
Fix for pause not unpausing playback unless P6 is set to Yes
Removed PowerOff handling, and added support for the ShutDown Server tap instead
Pressing Exit in the Find Archive after launching a Find from the EPG will now return you to the EPG, with the original programme selected
Attempted to speed up the Searching phase
Change to the drawing of EPG cell text, so that as much as possible of the last word on the last line gets drawn, rather than missing all of the word if it would not fit
New PartClash icon added. If a split program (one with eg #1 in the crid such as eg Dancing On Ice and then Dancing On Ice - The Skate Off) cannot be recorded because one half of it clashes (in which case neither half will be set) then the half that clashes will be displayed with the normal clash icon, and the half that doesn't clash (but it still not set as a timer) will be displayed with a colour inverted clash icon.
Fix for problem merging timers when one of them is a single-shot timer that has captured two programmes separated by a smaller programme (eg News). As shown in the Paul Merton and Dracula forum posts.
Mute key now works when Message Boxes are displayed
Exit and OK will now dismiss timed Message Boxes (ie notification boxes with no OK button that normally time out after 6 seconds)
Export Settings now adds a date/timestamp at the top of the file
After each EPG reload, MS checks the available memory and will display a warning if the memory is considered too low for safe operation
Searches can now have negative pre and post padding (up to -120m)
Editing the Start or End Time of a timer now automatically sets Lock Timer to Yes
Selecting Flat View now leaves Folder View selected, rather than selecting the topmost file
Bug fixes

Fixed. On a fresh install, you probably need to manually set R1 to EPG.mei
Fixed. The option to Rewind when unpausing playback (P5) only works if using Play (rather than Pause) to unpause. There is now a new option (P6) which controls if the Pause button will rewind or not.
Fixed. Instant Recording sometimes jumps to the start of the playback buffer
Fixed. "Unable to get memory for archive (1): xxxxxxx" messages, especially on 5810
Fixed. Sort order of Explosion screen is incorrect if you get there via the Clash Resolution screen
Fixed. If Toppy crashes when recording the first part of a two part merge, the second part gets incorrectly flagged as a duplicate
Fixed. S icon comes up even if R4 set to No
Fixed. Cannot autofile to Films automatically (J5) if B7 is set to No
Fixed. Long programme names when recorded can result in badly named files, which could then cause other problems
Optional change to behaviour when you change the restrictions on a PS. MS will now ask if you want to delete all Timer Groups that no longer match it
Only load updated EPG data if no key has been pressed for 10s (to prevent periods of unresponsiveness when the user is in the middle of doing something)
Fix fr Tv/Radio key not working correctly if toppy starts in radio channel
Entering a radio lcn when you have a tv faves list selected (or vice versa) will now switch to a radio faves list (or a tv one)
Fix for SonicLife's reported problem of R4 in faves list on different EPG views
You can now edit start/end times of single-shot timers (provided that it is not merged with any other timer)
If you are viewing the Grid EPG in Current (P) mode then scrolling to a channel not currently displayed will jump to the "page" containing that channel
Production date for films added to Archive description area
Bug fixes

Extension of MyStuff searches to allow for full series capture
Genre & Programme Searching
Support for native radio channels (thanks to simonc and R2D2)
Support for phone pad style text input (creating searches, naming folders), and as shortcuts to jump to sections in Options and to named files in the Archive
New banner style N&N
New single channel EPG view, see here and here
DCList view has been removed
New options added to improve FontManager support
Changes to the API. Authors of taps/utilities that use the API will need to update.
Single shot timers, which will now allow better clash resolution and merging of manually set timers.
Better support for EPG2MEI
Much improved memory handling
Speed ups
Bug fixes

Minor bug fixes, including fix for hammering timer access during idle time, thanks to R2D2.

Changes to stop MyStuff spinning up the disk when it would otherwise be idle.
Some possible speed ups, thanks to R2-D2's profiling.
Fix for problems caused by MyStuff being in AutoStart after a System Reset.
Bug fixes.

Better handling of short "No Information" programmes, especially when between two programmes being recorded by CTs. This fixes the Reaper/Big Bang Theory bug reported on the threads.
Fix for occasional crash when using instant recording, by including the code version of R2-D2's St patch.
Increase in max number of Keeps available to CTs.

(FIXED) Option G6 is not remembered across MyStuff restarts.
(FIXED) Option K4 does not affect the display of W icons in Timers by Date.
If you have CTs for two programmes on the same channel, which are separated only by a short programme (one which is shorter than the post padding on the first CT plus the pre padding on the second CT) then previous version of MyStuff would not correctly merge the two timers. The new version will do so, and it will hide the short program in all Archive views.
Yet more tweaks for FontManager fonts, especially the narrow ones.
Bug fixes

(FIXED) If using AccurateBookmarks, and you start watching a recording that has no bookmark near enough to its start, MyStuff may instead jump to the start of the next recording in the file.
(FIXED) Running RecFixer from within the BadFiles folder by pressing OK/Play on a bad file does not work.
(FIXED) The MyStuff archive may display the number of files in a folder incorrectly (by counting files that have actually been (part) deleted. Also, the archive may show the disk usage for a folder incorrectly.
(FIXED) If you exclude some programmes that match a CT, and then delete that CT, the programmes remain excluded (so if you later recreate the same - or similar - CT then those programmes will continue to be excluded).
(FIXED) On first start, MyStuff displays garbled EPG data for BBC 1, though a manual reload of EPG data works fine.
Speed ups to the timer clash resolution screen of the Archive.
Folder "RecordingFixer" added to the list of possible folders for the RecFixer TAP.
Faster (and more stable!) stopping of radio playback.
Sequential playback of radio recordings should now work better.
The recently changed behaviour in 5.6 of keeping part-viewed recordings when satisfying a CTs Keep setting is now optional (and defaults to pre 5.6 behaviour).
Pressing Stop twice on a selection of recordings will now clear the selection after resetting all
Improved AccurateBookmarking support.
Slight Archive layout tweaks to better support FontManager.
AccurateBookmarking support for radio recordings removed. Will be added back in the next version.
Bug fixes

(FIXED) Start watching BBC1. Start playback of a recording. Enter EPG. Press record on current BBC1 program, record dialog box appears, but once you press OK it doesn't record.
(FIXED) Pressing Mute then Vol+ (or Vol-) resets the volume to 0, rather than to the pre Mute volume.
(FIXED) Descriptions in Australian 5000 recordings with no mei files are incorrect.
(FIXED) Displaying Extended Now & Next with 21 lines or more and Extra Gap Below N&N (B2) set to Yes crashes.
(FIXED) If Display N&N on Channel Change (B3) is set to No, and you start MyStuff, then start playback of a recording, and then press ExInfo then the ExtendedInfo box is not displayed.
ProgramFiles\TapLauncher added to list of locations MyStuff will use to try to find RecordingFixer.tap
New option to control the action when MyStuff changes to a channel that is currently being recorded
When listing the files in the same merge as the selected file, the ExtendedInfo box will now add "- deleted" to the name of any part of that merge which has already been deleted.
MyStuff will modify its behaviour if it detects firmware patches installed (Xp, B2, B4, I).
Toppy roundels hidden after MyStuff volume bar is displayed and then hidden (even if Q6 is No).
It is now possible to navigate past No Information cells in the EPG and the ExtendedInfo box.
Moving left or right from Recordings by Date/Name when you have a folder selected will try to select the first timer/CT that matches any recording within that folder.
Changed behaviour of Yellow and Green in N&N and DCList views, so that the selected event remains displayed on the same row, rather than jumping to the top or bottom.
Pressing Green on a merged recording in the Archive will switch to an Archive view showing all other parts (deleted and non-deleted) of that merge. This view will allow you to play or delete those other parts of the merge.
Pressing Green on a clash timer in the Archive will switch to an Archive view showing all other timers that are preventing that timer from being set. From this view you can choose to delete or exclude those other timers, in order to be able to set the clash timer. This screen will show all timers that clash with the target timer, and should any of those timers have been set by a CT then this screen will also show you all other timers set by that CT. This enables you to see which programmes are best excluded (knowing that they will are already set to record by another timer).
Pressing Pause in any Archive screen will jump to each current clash timer in turn.
New option to control the behaviour when MyStuff is playing part of a merged recording. You can now decide if MyStuff should continue to play part 2 of the merge when it has finished playing part 1.
New option to make the Archive footer display free disk space including reclaimable space in the Recycle Bin.
Faster access to the Archive, EPG and Options screens.
Support for the AccurateBookmark TAP

(FIXED) Sometimes when MS should be asking you to enter the PIN to unlock a locked timer, it may instead display the channel LCN changing screen. This is probably especially the case if you got to the timer edit screen via the EPG, rather than via the Archive
(FIXED) The percentage jumping screen (ie the thing you get when you enter numbers during (chase) playback) will accept 3 digits, but will interpret them as eg 999% (although it will of course only jump to 100%) whereas it may be better to treat them as eg 99.9%
(FIXED) If you turn off the MyStuff volume bar option then you need to restart the Toppy before the native volume bar will appear again
(FIXED) Occasionally when flipping through the skins in Options, MyStuff will crash
(FIXED) Pressing Play on N&N when it is showing information for the current programme displays the Buffer Recording dialogue box. It probably should do nothing in this case.
(FIXED) Stopping radio playback withing the first 30 seconds or so may crash the Toppy
(FIXED) Having a Y Offset value (Q4) too large (positive or negative) may make MS crash when displaying some screens
(FIXED) Deleting (or waiting for MyStuff to delete from the Recycle Bin) files that contain multiple dots - eg "I'm a Celebrity....Get me out of here.rec" - can crash the toppy as a result of a known API bug.
(FIXED) Selectng multiple part-viewed files in the Archive, and pressing Stop twice to reset them to unviewed may not fully redraw each line, leaving each one drawn partly in the viewed colours, and partly in the unviewed colours
(FIXED) When MS automatically tries to set (or extend) a timer to catch eg the part of a film after the news when you manually set the timer for the part before the news, then MS will report that it has set this timer, even if it has failed to do so because of clashes with other timers
(FIXED) If you press SlowMo from N&N on the currently broadcasting programme, which will show the Edit CT screen, you may then get the top right corner of the screen showing through the Edit CT screen.
(FIXED) The part-viewed status of a recording may be lost if you delete a different file from the Archive.
(FIXED) If you stop the first part of a merge recording when the second part has already started recording then MS should warn you that it will also stop the following recording, but it won't.
(FIXED) Disk spins up every 15mins or so, even when all disk related options are set to Off/No/Never.
(FIXED) On TF5700PVRt models, the MS volume bars do not appear, although the volume does change.
(FIXED) On TF5700PVRt models, the native Toppy archive is not accessible by pressing Archive when in the MS archive, even when that option has been set.
(FIXED) Using the colour keys and the playback bar to edit a recording can cause the Toppy to lock up or crash.
(FIXED) If using keep values with CTs such that you end up with merged recordings in one file where some of the merge parts should be deleted (because of the keep value set on the CT), then those recordings are not always deleted. Editing the CT (to change any value to itself) will tidy up correctly, and delete those recordings that should be deleted.
(FIXED) Lots of other minor bugs
Changes to the API. CTDELETEBOTH, CTDELETETIMERS and CTDELETECT have been removed, and replaced with CTDELETE, which does what CTDELETEBOTH did in 5.5. Also added TIMERDELETEALL_ALL (to delete all timers), TIMERDELETEALL_CT (to delete all timers set by a CT) and TIMERDELETEALL_R (to delete all timers that were not set by a CT)
Semi-integration of simonc's RecordingFixer such that pressing OK or Play on a file in BadFiles will launch RecordingFixer (assuming that MyStuff can find RecordingFixer.tap in ProgramFiles, ProgramFiles\Tools, ProgramFiles\System, ProgramFiles\TAPs or ProgramFiles\Taps) to allow you to fix those bad files. The next activation of the Archive will then refresh itself, and detect that those files have been fixed.
Pressing White on the BadFiles folder will allow you to delete all the files in BadFiles in one go (like pressing White on the RecycleBin)
Change to nag method employed in this (and all subsequent versions). 5.51 will start nagging on 01/06/2010. What will then happen is the first time you access EPG/N&N/Archive 10 minutes after MyStuff start then the EPG/N&N/Archive will display the nag message. It will not (as previous versions did) change which MyStuff screen you get (if you press Guide you will get the EPG). This will then happen again once every 24 hours (or again 10 minutes after the next MyStuff start should MyStuff be stopped in the meantime)

Return to top

Fix for Flat View file deletion bug
Move To Folder now extended to allow you to move files through more than one folder, eg you can now move a file from DataFiles to DataFiles/Films/SciFi/Manga in one go, without having to do one move for each folder
If you try to delete a non-empty folder MyStuff will now prompt you to confirm, and if you do so it will delete that folder and all files/folders within it
CTs can now be told to lock all matching files. This will mean that all recordings will need the PIN to be entered before they can be played/moved/deleted using MyStuff (if you enter the normal Toppy archive then they will not be locked)
Current (P) implemented as a start channel for EPG
Description searching in CTs
Optional Recycle bin - basic implementation so far
Pressing Rec in Archive will take you to each current recording in turn
Pressing Green on a CT in the Archive will take you to a list of all timers that were set by that CT (this also works for Off CTs, even though Off timers are not normally shown in the Archive)
Pressing Green on a CT set timer in the Archive will now take you to the CT that set that timer
Optional display of an 'O' icon on all programmes in EPG/N&N that would be matched by an OFF CT
Optional API - other TAPs/external programs can now tell MyStuff to perform certain operations. This currently consists of commands to modify/create/delete CTs, but the list will be added to during development
(Optional) MyStuff now outputs files detailing all timers, CTs and current activity (ie playback, recording, live)
Improved file deletion boxes now let you know if you are about to delete a recording that contains programmes that you have not viewed
Optional QuickDelete - stopping playback can now prompt you to delete the file
Virtual recordings/timers - if you have b2b CT set timers then MyStuff can now optionally combine them into one timer, but show them as two seperate rows in the Archive. When this recording has completed, MyStuff will then show two (or of course more than two if the timer covered more than two programmes) rows in the recordings Archive, and allow you to play/delete each of them independently. Each such "virtual" recording will have full pre and post padding added
Optional QuickRewind - if you resume a playback of a file when it has already been viewed above a certain amount (specified in options) then MyStuff will ask if you want to rewind it to the start (in case it was someone else in your household who has watched the recording and you don't want to run the risk of accidentally seeing who has won/lost/been fired/been voted off/etc)
Manual (ie non CT set) timers can now be set to be locked and to be moved into a folder on completion (eg locking/autofiling can now be applied to both manual timers and CT timers)
Option to suppress (or to skin) the Toppy "Playback Stopped" message when playback ends
Sequential playback - selecting multiple recordings in the Archive (from the same folder) and then pressing Play will start playing each of those files in turn (in the order in which you selecting them)
Optional automatic creation of an EPG Scan timer (of a channel, time and duration specified in the options) if one is not already set. MyStuff will create this time (if needed) on each startup, thus ensuring that you always have one, even after a full system reset
During Loading.... and Searching... OSDs (or when MyStuff would be displaying those OSDs if the option to display them was on!) you can now press Vol Up/Down, Ch Up/Down, Mute or any of the number keys. MyStuff will suspend what it was doing, and allow the Toppy to handle those keys. 5 seconds (or so) after key inactivity (and if no OSD is now displayed) MyStuff will continue with the process.
Recordings now autofile immediately, rather than when they finish recording.
Pressing Rec in the recordings Archive goes to a screen that only shows active recordings (and subequent merge parts of those recordings). This screen allows you to delete, stop & play those recordings as per normal. Pressing Rec again will switch back to the normal view.
Much faster searching (on all searches except the first one after loading EPG data). Removed Search This and Search All options, and replaced with Search
Skinned volume bar
Skinned Select Recording To Stop box
Skinned LCN channel change box.
Skinned Start Recording box with extended functionality. Pressing Rec when no OSD is visible will now allow you to start recording from the current programme start, or the timeshift buffer start, and include the following programmes if you want.
Pressing Rec when you are already recording something will allow you to change the duration of that recording.
New virtual folder BadFiles, will show all recordings that MS normally hides (zero size, invalid header, etc), so that you are at least aware of them.
Currently Selected Skin available to other TAPs to use without needing access to MyStuff options.
Logo selection on Favourite Lists.
Comments now supported in Favourite Lists.
Support for R2-D2’s RemExt patch.
Date-stamping on file names when moving to a folder.
Auto-deletion of programmes based on recording count, so you can set a CT to only keep eg the 5 most recently recorded episodes of the matching programme.
New skin elements: IconOffForeground, IconOffBackground and IconRecordLaterBackground
OTA Firmware Detection. A * will flash next to the clock on EPG/N&N when an OTA broadcast is detected.
Bug fixes

Fix for crash when selecting the new Create [Folder Name] option in Move To Folder

Return to top

Fix for turning PowerOff handling off, or then trying to turn it back on again
Fix for creating your own All Radio channel list not stopping MyStuff creating its own
Fix for setting N1 to All TV or All Radio not being remembered across Toppy shutdowns/MyStuff activations.
Fix for Now&Next not appearing on startup (even if B3 set to Yes)
Creating a new folder in Archive will now default the name of the new folder to be the same as the name of the currently selected item
Pressing Record in Timer edit will save the timer, regardless of the selected item in the dialog box
Pressing Yellow on a recording will now preselect the folder of the same name (if it exists), whilst still allowing you to choose another folder. If that folder does not currently exist, then the Move To Folder list will now start with eg Create [The Simpsons], and selecting this will create a folder called The Simpsons and then move the selected recording to that folder
Fix for problem when K2=List and K6=Info and you press List from ExtendedInfo

Return to top

Updates to make MyStuff radio friendly via EMJB's excellent OneList TAP (which is recommended for all MyStuff users)
MyStuff will now handle Tv/Radio key presses in EPG/N&N (and optionally when no OSDs are visible), and will change from viewing tv channels to radio channels and vice versa
Auto creation of All TV and All Radio channel lists (which can be replaced by user defined lists to remove unwanted channels). These lists are then used when handling the Tv/Radio button.
Screensaver optionally enabled for live radio, and always enabled for radio playback
Improved screensaver, clock now updates (as does progress if watching live radio)
Fix for radio recording file sizes being reported incorrectly
(Slightly) improved radio playback jumping using the colour keys
Fix for chase play from Archive
Fix for setting of F7 being the wrong way round!
Fix for repeated presses of Volume keys bringing up Now&Next
Fix for N&N using B4 rather than B5 after you have pressed a key when it has displayed automatically
New PowerOff options to specify how verbose MyStuff should be when displaying messages
Extended Info scrolling changed, so that page 1 shows eg lines 1-10, and page 2 shows lines 11-15
Improved logo loading, and logos now remain in memory at all times, so now more delays when activating EPG/Archive views
Other bug fixes

Return to top

OK is now renabled as a button for Now&Next, but pressing OK in EPG will change channels rather than activating the Now&Next chain
Fixes/Changes to allow both Now&Next chain and ExtendedInfo to use the Info key
Added ExtendedInfo to Now&Next chain (kind of) if both set to use Info. So pressing Info repeatedly (with N&N and ExInfo both set to Info) would go through: N&N screen 1, ExInfo, Hide ExInfo, N&N screen 2, ExInfo, Hide ExInfo, N&N screen 3 etc
Fixes for all (reproducable!) 5.0 crashes
Fixes for all minor 5.0 quirks/bugs, eg MyStuffShortChannelNames bug, Multi User bug
New option (L5) to force CTs to be reloaded when checking for new mei data files, even if MyStuff decides not to reload the mei file
New option (G7) to allow << / >> to jump to timers set for the previous/next day when in Timers by Date in Archive
In CT edit box there is a new Action to Save (Search This) which will save the CT and search for new timers for that CT only. This is much quicker than the current Action, which has been renamed to Save (Search All) which saves the CT and searches for new timers for all CTs. This makes it easier to edit multiple CTs quickly, though you may then need to do a Red search at the end to make sure that other CTs get searched (in case they can now set new timers as a result of changes you have made to the others)
New option in H7 to display Total Duration and Remaining % in Archive for part viewed recordings
New option (H9) to display Flat View/Folder View in recordings Archive. This allows you to see all recordings on one page, regardless of the folder they are in. So for instance, selecting the root (DataFiles) folder in Recordings by Date, and then selecting Flat View, will show you all recordings on your Toppy in date order (regardless of folder), which will allow you easily to see which ones are new
New option (M7) to disable MyStuff PowerOff handling
Fairly significant speed ups in the CT Searching routines. A full search of all of my CTs used to take about 13 seconds, now takes about 4 seconds

CT searches will no longer try to set timers that clash with current recordings. Previous versions of MyStuff would set the timer, and then the Toppy would complain of a clash when the timer was due to start

New EPG duration, 1.5 hours
Display Clash Timers (those that cannot be set because of clashing with other timers) and Excess Timers (those that cannot be set because there are already 70 timers set) using different logos in Archive
Timer Optimisation: Attempts to overcome the inbuilt Toppy limit of 70 timers in total. MyStuff will allow you to have up to 70 real timers (CT's or One-Off's, recording and watch style timers) at any point in the same day, whilst still preserving your intention to record programs later on in your schedule. MyStuff achieves this by automatically converting CT set timers furthest out in your schedule, to Excess Timers, allowing it to set a timer for an earlier program. Then as time moves on and your timer count drops below 70, MyStuff will convert those Excess Timers back to CT timers.
File and folder sizes displayed in Archive
New option to specify interval to reload EPG data and ControlTimers, and to do another search (which will adjust all currently set timers in the event of programme changes)
