ENHANCEMENTS:
A new NPL table right mouse button menu entry called AutoSkip from SkipMode (bindkey v) will be displayed for TiVos that support SkipMode:
The goal of this command is to automatically obtain commercial cut points based on TiVo SkipMode data.
This will only work if the SKIP icon is shown for the NPL entry you are running it on, indicating that TiVo SkipMode data exists for the show.
IMPORTANT: This command will simulate various remote button presses to your TiVo to obtain show segment start points, and thus should not be run if you don't want to disrupt anybody currently watching that TiVo.
Show segment start points are discovered by skipping to end of show, then using repeated "Channel Down" presses to cycle through all SkipMode show segment start points. This information in conjunction with segment lengths obtained from SkipMode data is used to compute cut points.
Once cut points are computed kmttg automatically adds an AutoSkip entry to kmttg AutoSkip table.
Once an AutoSkip table entry exists (indicated by S in NPL table) you can choose Play in AutoSkip mode menu entry (bindkey z) to start playback of the show in AutoSkip mode for hands free automatic commercial skipping.
You can also use Export AutoSkip cuts menu entry (bindkey e) to export the cut points to a VideoRedo project file or edl cut file which you can be used with the Ad Cut task to cut out auto-detected commercials.
NPL table right mouse button menu entry Export AutoSkip to VPrj changed to Export AutoSkip cuts:
Will export cuts to VideoRedo project file if VideoRedo is enable, else will export cuts to edl file.
For VideoRedo project file creation, .mpg or .ts file will be used as reference video file if either exists, else .TiVo file will be used whether or not it exists.
Right mouse button menu entry Play in AutoSkip mode (bindkey z) added for RPC enabled TiVos. The bindkey already existed in previous releases, this adds menu entry for it as a reminder the functionality is available.
For table entries that have AutoSkip data available this will start playback of the show on your TiVo in AutoSkip mode for hands free automatic commercial skipping.
Right mouse button menu entry Import AutoSkip cuts (bindkey c) added for RPC enabled TiVos. The bindkey already existed in previous releases, this adds menu entry for it as a reminder the functionality is available.
This allows you to import cuts from other people to AutoSkip table. Consult SkipShareImport kmttg Wiki for details.
Added Select Repeats button to Remote--ToDo tab:
Purpose is to search for and select ToDo table entries considered to be repeats of each other.
Currently an entry is considered a repeat if it meets one of following criteria:
Has exact same title and subtitle as a ToDo entry scheduled to record before it
These selected entries can then be unscheduled using the Cancel button if desired.
This is aimed primarily at dealing with poor Rovi guide data for Sports recordings which leads to TiVo scheduling multiple repeats of the same show such as for a auto-record wishlist for a sporting event.

ENHANCEMENTS:
New windows tool paackage with updated ffmpeg that supports Intel Quick Sync video encoder which uses on board Intel graphics card GPU for encoding:
Only works for integrated Intel graphics cards
Provides a big speedup compared to ordinary software/CPU based encoding
A new encoding profile called ff_qsv_h264 is included which serves as an example encoding profile that uses the GPU encoder
AutoSkip Service now allows you to enable service for multiple TiVos at once (previously you could only run on 1 TiVo at a time):
The File->AutoSkip Service menu item now contains a check menu item for each eligible TiVo that can be enabled/disabled
Added new configuration tab: AutoSkip with following options:
Documentation:
This button brings up documentation on AutoSkip
Enable AutoSkip functionality:
Allows you to enable/disable all AutoSkip functionality in kmttg
Automatically Import to Skip Table After Ad Detect:
Allows automation of skip table entries by automatically importing skip files following Ad Detect
Consult the AutoSkip Wiki for details on how to use this option
Prune Skip Table automatically after NPL refresh:
This will automatically run Prune skipTable when you Refresh NPL list to clear out old/obsolete AutoSkip Table entries
AutoSkip padding in seconds:
During AutoSkip play this padding will be applied to show start and end points
The idea is to pad start and end points so that actual show segments are not clipped
show start points: new start point = start point - padding
show end points: new end point = end point + padding
FIXES:
Fix to NPL retrieval in RPC mode which in some special cases would not return full list of shows
Don't attempt to enter loop in GUI mode if auto.ini file is missing or empty. This is to fix issue where a fresh installation of kmttg attempts to enter loop in GUI mode without any auto transfers configuration which results in kmttg GUI shutting down
For Auto Transfers--Add selected titles and Auto Transfers--Add selected to history file menu entries issue warning if folder entries are used instead of stack tracing
Program Options Automatically restore job queue between sessions setting for auto transfers was being reset with every kmttg GUI restart
AutoSkip related fixes:
Fix to Import Skip to allow proper import of comskip created .Vprj files with unmatching upper/lower case for Cut tags
For Skip Share Import avoid duplicate entries in skip table by removing existing entry first when importing
If 1st show start point is non-zero AutoSkip will now skip to it

ENHANCEMENTS:
The NPL, Remote Won't Record, and Search tables are now tree tables, which means you can now expand/collapse folder entries instead of having to descend into a folder and return to top as was the case previously. Note that there's a keyboard shortcut t that can be used to toggle between all trees collapsed or all expanded
The Remote Guide table now has a separate channels list to the left of table which makes it much easier to select a channel to view listings for
Remote Search++* updated to allow selection of all categories and sub-categories rather than just the main categories. Categories are now displayed as a ListBox to allow for easier display and selection of big list of categories
The NPL table IMAGE column now contains % watched indication for shows that have been partially watched
A new *css folder is now required part of the distribution and contains JavaFX .css files used to configure the look and feel of kmttg GUI. In configuration->Visual tab there is an entry where you can specify which .css file you want to use. So if desired you can copy and customize a .css file to your own liking to use with kmttg
Added toolTip open delay (secs) option to Configuration Visual tab which specifies number of seconds of delay before displaying tooltip bubbles
Byte offset needed for Resume Downloads is now always obtained dynamically from TiVo web server XML which means it's no longer necessary to refresh NPL listings to obtain updated pause points
Added Partially Viewed option to NPL table. This allows filtering of NPL table to quickly get filtered list of partially viewed titles only. Useful especially for quickly getting shows for downloading in Resume Downloads mode. Only works for RPC capable TiVos and when "Use RPC for NPL when possible" option is enabled.
Added new ffmpeg crf H.264 encoding profile which should be good for general purpose H.264 encoding for TiVo sourced videos: ff_tivo_crf
Added generic ffmpeg mobile device encoding profiles good for 3 different resolutions and bitrates: ff_mobile_1080p ff_mobile_720p ff_mobile_480p
Removed several dated encoding profiles: ff_droid ff_evo ff_ipad ff_iphone ff_ipod_high_res ff_ipod_low_res ff_tivo_hd ff_tivo_sd hb_tivo_hd hb_tivo_sd
Available disk space check is now based on Java native code available since Java 6 or later instead of OS specific custom code used previously which didn't always work correctly.
Auto log viewing from GUI now auto updates rather than being a static file view.
Byte offset needed for Resume Downloads is now obtained from TiVo web server XML instead of estimating it when obtaining My Shows in RPC mode.
Added "Show Information" GUI (bindkey i) support to Season Passes table.
Added Back button to virtual remote.
Updated list of Launch App applications to be current, removing obsolete apps and adding Amazon Prime, Plex, Spotify, iHeartRadio and Opera TV launch points.
Windows auto transfer service related commands now run as admin directly from kmttg, so no longer necessary to run the .bat files as administrator outside of kmttg.
CHANGES:
GUI settings file is now called kmttg_settings_v2 in Windows and .kmttg_settings_v2 for other platforms.
Eliminated use of reflection in the code so that exceptions can be better traced to their failure location.
Replaced all "ipad" references with "rpc".
Use RPC for NPL when possible option now defaults to on for a new kmttg installation.
No longer disable Use RPC to get NPL when possible option when Resume downloads option enabled.
FIXES:
Workarounds to bug introduced with TiVo 20.5.2 software where "offerSearch" RPC command does not honor "levelOfDetail" parameter which adversely affects Search for non-linear content and Search++ functionality.
Workaround to bug introduced with TiVo 20.5.2 software which prevented Show Information (bindkey i) from obtaining and displaying full show details.
Honor limit # of npl fetches when using RPC to fetch NPL data.
Don't check downloaded show total time for show with offset and downloaded with resume downloads enabled.
Fixed issue with copying/restoring Auto Record Wishlists in Remote Season Passes tab which was not working following 20.5.2 TiVo software update.
Fixed issue with non RPC Now Playing List retrieval filtering out partial recordings of same show.
Fix to 1 time batch mode run (-b command line argument) to properly exit when complete.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Streaming only titles from Search table can now be added as bookmarks to TiVo My Shows using the Record button. Titles can be any type of streaming content: movies, episodic shows or even currently unavailable shows.
Added Include unavailable option to Remote->Search tab which if enabled signifies to include content currently not available in guide data. This is useful for example to search for a series that will be airing in the future. If found you are able to create a Season Pass with "All Channels" setting even though there is no guide data for it yet.
Season Pass Options form enhancements (for One Pass related fields): Now includes Channel and Get in HD options. The Start From cyclic a few seconds after bringing up the form will now show proper available season or year range
Added brand new Remote sub-tab called Streaming which can be used to display all streaming-only related My Shows entries for a selected series 4 or later TiVo. For streaming only One Passes the table entries will show up as folder types, and you can push into the folder to get a list of all associated episodes. NOTE: This will always display all episodes for the associated Streaming One Pass setup. It will not filter out entries you may have removed on the TiVo itself inside the One Pass folder. One Pass items (such as Streaming Movie items) can be removed by selecting entries in the table and using Remove button in this tab. Note that folder entries which represent Streaming One Pass entries can also be removed by selecting them and using Remove button. This is accomplished by unsubscribing the corresponding Streaming One Pass entries.
Added brand new Remote sub-tab called Thumbs which can be used to display all thumbs ratings for selected TiVo. Similiar to Season Passes, you can save thumbs ratings for a TiVo to a file as a backup, useful when planning on transferring thumbs to a new TiVo. You can load a saved Thumbs file and then copy all saved thumbs to a series 4 or later TiVo. You can also use loaded thumbs files to copy thumbs ratings from 1 TiVo to another. Each RATING column of a Thumbs table can be modified (to a value between -3 and 3). You can change as many rows as you like and once ready use the Modify button to save the changes to the TiVo. A thumb value of 0 means remove the thumb rating from the TiVo.
Added little known Search table functionality available as ctrl-s keyboard shortcut to right mouse popup menus of most tables.
Added new Thumbs Rating to relevant Remote table right mouse button popup menus (ctrl-t keyboard shortcut). This can be used to set or change thumbs rating for currently selected show in a table.
When creating a season pass from kmttg, a thumb rating of 1 is now automatically given to a series if thumb rating does not already exist for that show.
CHANGES:
Byte offset needed for "Resume Downloads" to work is now estimated when using RPC for obtaining My Shows list of programs which only provides a time offset. The estimate is based on (time offset)*size/duration. The estimate is better than having no number at all and hence not allowing "Resume Downloads" to be used when RPC is enabled for obtaining My Shows.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new EXPERIMENTAL web server capability.
Under configuration there is a new Web tab where you can enable web server capability.
Adds video streaming capability to browsers supporting HLS (Safari, iOS Safari, 4.x Android Chrome). Note that this is still in early stages and may not be fully functional on various devices. I only tested on iPad Air.
NOTE: Video streaming directly from series 4+ TiVos is also supported, but only works for unprotected programs (without CCI byte) that can be downloaded, since it downloads the show from the TiVo and decrypts + transcodes on the fly.
NOTE: For Windows platform make sure you update tools using Help->Update tools to get newer/fixed version of ffmpeg to use with this video streaming capability.
At least for iOS there are apps that let you save video links locally to your device. One example is Video Downloader from Appsneon. There are likely others and some for Android platform as well. This provides a way to save videos prepared via kmttg web server to your device for offline viewing.
Extends some of the kmttg Remote capabilities to any device with a web browser, such as iOS and Android devices. The current functionality available is limited and more just proof of concept and may be extended over time.
A fully functional virtual remote is available to extend remote to any device with a web browser.
If you setup port forwarding in your router then you can extend this functionality to outside the home so you can have access to the functionality from anywhere.
NOTE: TiVos listed in web server mode are intentionally restricted to series 4 and later only (that support RPC functionality).
Added keyboard shortcuts for TiVo Remote buttons: Jump to minute - Alt m Skip minutes back - Alt , Skip minutes ahead - Alt .
Added Vudu (html) launch point to virtual remote.
CHANGES:
Default Use Java for downloads instead of curl option to be on for new kmttg installations since latest Mac OS no longer works with curl.
For RPC reboot function, changed sleep time from 3 to 5 seconds for sending thumbs down button presses to perhaps aid in preventing lockups for units slow to bring up the reboot screen.
When Resume Downloads is enabled and .TiVo file already exists the resume download target is renamed to (2).TiVo suffix. (Similar for .mpg for combined download/decrypt option).
TiVo 20.4.5 software update changed platform name for embedded Stream, so Bonjour discovery was falsely picking it up as another TiVo. With this update, Stream broadcasts are now ignored again.
FIXES:
Updated Windows tools package to replace ffmpeg which had problems selecting valid video streams in input files in some cases.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added configuration option under Program Options called Use RPC to get NPL when possible.?When this option is enabled, kmttg will use RPC calls for series 4 and later units to obtain NPL listings instead of the traditional html/XML calls
This avoids the traditional double step of playlist task followed by remote task for obtaining listings, so should be faster than that 2 step process
Note that RPC data does NOT contain SeriesId information, so if that field is important to you in pyTivo metadata file then you should not enable this function. Otherwise the information should be largely the same as XML listings data, but more closely matches what HDUI shows
This new option is off by default, so if interested in using it you should enable it after installing/upgrading to this release
Added configuration option under File Settings called QS Fix Output Dir to set the directory to output temporary .qsfix files. Defaults to .mpg output directory if not modified
Added configuration option under File Settings called Check download duration which if enabled will use MediaInfo CLI to determine duration of TiVo downloads and compare vs expected duration. If actual vs expected differ by more than a 200 second tolerance then kmttg will treat the download as failed.?You must have kmttg configured for Mediainfo CLI for this to work
This option is not enabled by default
For Auto Transfers mode, now only TiVos that are relevant to auto transfers entry setup are processed instead of every TiVo. i.e. For example, if your auto transfers setup only has entries that are restricted to 1 particular TiVo, then only that TiVo will be queried. Previously all NPL capable TiVos were queried as part of Auto Transfers whether they were needed or not
Added Export button to NPL tab for each TiVo which can be used to export NPL entries to CSV spreadsheet file.?NOTE: The table will be exported as it is displayed with current column order, sorting, and folders
Added Export button to Remote ToDo tab which can be used to export a TiVo's ToDo list to CSV spreadsheet file
FIXES:
With Allow only 1 download at a time option enabled there were circumstances where more than 1 download at a time could happen which has been corrected
For auto transfers with second encode job enabled and "metadata" task enabled, a metadata file will be created for the second encoded file as well as the first. Previously the second encode file would not get an associated metadata file
For NPL tables fixed CHANNEL row sorting such that it properly sorts by channel number
User provided general fix for linux/unix system free space check

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new Search++ button to Remote Search tab which can be used for complex search operations.
This roughly matches wishlist capabilities possible via TiVos using simple or complex boolean search criteria. Complex searches can include OR, AND, NOT booleans and wildcards.
Also adds capability of restricting matches to a given list of channels or favorite channels only which is not possible via TiVo wishlists.
Search criteria can be saved with given names and can be recalled at a later time akin to search bookmarks.
i.e. This capability is in essence portable wishlists or search bookmarks independent of any TiVo that you can save via kmttg.
Remote Jump to minute, Skip minutes back, and Skip minutes ahead buttons now allow non-integer minutes to be used, such as 0.5.
Added Update/Install ProjectX... menu item for Linux systems which will automatically download and install ProjectX in kmttg installation folder.
Added Video container to use option in Slingbox capture GUI to give option to capture output in either mpegts or matroska containers.
For Slingbox Pro box captures the H.264 that it puts out in TS container cannot be edited by VideoRedo TVSuite software, so adding matroska container option allows generation of captures that can be edited with VideoRedo.
CHANGES:
Updated x264 Hanbrake encoding profiles to add threads=CPU_CORES option as part of -x options so that kmttg option encoding cpu cores can be honored.
When using Search Table... input focus is now given to the table when a match is found so that table keyboard shortcuts will work without having to re-select row with mouse.
FIXES:
For VideoRedo qsfix and adcut tasks that are using .ts file suffix for TS files, the .mpg.txt metadata file now also gets appropriately renamed to match video output file suffix.
Remote Season Premieres table now avoids listing duplicate entries as was sometimes the case previously.
Slingbox capture task time stuck at 0:00:00 in job table when using older versions of ffmpeg.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new Remote tab useful for series 5 units: Web
This tab allows you to specify a URL to send to TiVo series 5 units internal web browser.
Once web page is displayed on the TiVo:
NAVIGATION: Use remote arrow keys to navigate the page and Select button to select or execute currently highlighted item on the page.
TYPING TEXT: You can use the kmttg Remote tab if there are fields where you need to enter some text since the kmttg remote understands key presses for the basic keyboard keys.
NOTE: The TiVo internal web browser has limited functionality and can't handle all web pages that a real browser can handle. For example there is no Flash video support and there is no "back" functionality to go back after following a link.
NOTE: This currently only works for Roamio units but kmttg will show all RPC enabled TiVos in the list in case in the future TiVo adds the functionality to TiVo Mini and/or series 4 units.
By request added additional columns to Remote Season Passes table:
RECORD - Which episodes to record. Value = firstRunOnly, rerunsAllowed or everyEpisode
KEEP - Keep Until setting. Value = fifo or forever
START - Start time padding (minutes)
END - End time padding (minutes)
Added Export Channels... button to Remote Guide tab which creates a channel lineup CSV file containing list of channels currently set as included or excluded in channel list.
This can be useful for a new TiVo to consult a spreadsheet so as to know which channels to keep and remove.
CHANGES:
Changed File->Clear all messages keyboard shortcut from Ctrl-A to Ctrl-L since Ctrl-A in windows selects all items in a table by default and that function is useful to some.
Added Backspace key as "delete show" keyboard shortcut for NPL tables in addition to the existing Delete key for keyboards that may not have Delete key function.
Implemented faster way of highlighting entries in NPL tables when Highlight processed shows in history file option is enabled.
FIXES:
When deleting more than 1 show at a time the names of deleted shows displayed in message window had no spaces between them.

New in kmttg v1p0d (Sep 23, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Shows in Remote tables that are marked as in ToDo list now list all TiVos on which they will record when selected. Previously only 1 TiVo would be identified regardless.
Added new configuration option under File Settings tab by user request:
Delete failed downloads - On by default. If disabled kmttg will not delete failed download files. Only useful disabled if you also have Overwrite existing files option disabled or # download attempts option set to 0 or 1. By disabling this option note that you can end up with partial downloads so most users will probably want to keep this option enabled.
Added new configuration option under Visual tab by user request:
Highlight processed shows in history file - Off by default. When enabled shows in NPL tables will be have a light yellow color signifying that they have been processed in the past by kmttg and have an entry in the kmttg auto.history file.
By request Auto Transfers->Loop in GUI button state is now preserved when exiting and restarting kmttg. That means if you exit kmttg with button enabled then kmttg will automatically start Loop in GUI mode when next kmttg session is started.
By request Auto Transfers->Add selected titles now works for Remote tables with show titles in addition to TiVo tables.
Added right mouse button popup menu to Remote Season Passes table with following items:
Delete [delete]
Copy [c]
Modify [m]
Upcoming [u]
Conflicts [o]
Display data [j]
Web query [q]
Added additional right mouse button popup menu items to NPL table:

Add to auto transfers
CHANGES:
TiVo Mini units no longer occupy a Now Playing tab since it's useless to have a tab for them. However they still show up in "Remote" list of TiVos since some Remote functions are useful to use with a Mini. Mini units are also now ignored by batch and auto transfers mode and in other parts of GUI where selecting Mini is irrelevant.
Show Information dialog now wraps very long subtitles instead of making a very wide dialog box.
Programs in configuration now default to empty string if not found.
Disabled Record and SP buttons in Remote tabs for series 3 TiVos since it looks like that functionality which depends on middlemind.tivo.com no longer works anymore.
FIXES:
Auto Transfers->Add selected titles now automatically escapes most regex special characters so that titles with characters such as '?' added to title auto transfers setup will match as expected.
Filter out pyTivo host information and extraneous commas from Show Information dialog
Updated slingbox rec2.pl script for Slingbox Pro models to work with Tune to channel option.

New in kmttg v1p0c (Sep 23, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added File->Search Table... menu item which brings up a search dialog that allows you to search tables. This applies to currently displayed table with a SHOW column only. If a match is found the corresponding table row is selected.
Added new Show Information dialog for RPC enabled TiVos which displays more detailed show information than message window that includes actors and artwork.
To bring up this dialog select a show in a table for an RPC enabled TiVo and then press i key or right click mouse button and select Show Information from the popup menu.
If you leave the dialog up and select a different show in a table the dialog will be automatically updated with selected show information.
NOTE: Since this is for RPC enabled TiVos series 3 and earlier units are not supported.
Added right mouse button popup menu for Now Playing List table with menu entries corresponding to available key bindings:
Get extended metadata - Get extended metadata for selected show (Same as pressing m and equivalent to right mouse button click in previous releases). NOTE: This is only displayed if extended metadata can't be obtained via RPC or middlemind.tivo.com.
Delete - Delete show from source TiVo if possible (Same as pressing Delete)
Play - Play show on source TiVo if possible (Same as pressing Space)
Show Information - For RPC enabled TiVos only display Show Information dialog (Same as pressing i)
Display data - Dump all available show information to message window (Same as pressing j)
Web query - Initiate show web query (Same as pressing q)
Added right mouse button popup menu for Remote ToDo, Won't Record, Season Premieres, Search, Guide, Deleted tables with following menu entries:
Show Information - For RPC enabled TiVos only display Show Information dialog (Same as pressing i)
Display data - Dump all available show information to message window (Same as pressing j)
Web query - Initiate show web query (Same as pressing q)
encode and vrdeconde tasks will now copy metadata file if it exists for the source video to destination video metadata file. Thus, for example if you start an encoding via FILES tab for a video file that has an accompanying metadata file, the metadata is now carried along to the output encoded file.
keyboard_shortcuts] Wiki updated with new keyboard shortcuts and popup menu names.
With Remove .mpg file after encode setting turned on input metadata file will also get deleted if it exists when encode job completes.
By request added keyboard shortcuts for main window buttons:
START JOBS can be activated by pressing s
CANCEL JOBS can be activated by pressing c
For Season Premieres table when you click on a Season Pass that is already setup on more than 1 TiVo kmttg now lists all of them (comma separated). Previously only up to 1 TiVo name would be displayed instead of all.
CHANGES:
Changed Auto Transfers->Service->Install,Start,Stop,Remove to run in the background so as not to tie up the GUI. Also changed how kmttg service is created to use sc create which gives better error messages should something go wrong - usually permissions problem. Most common error message is: "[SC] OpenSCManager FAILED 5:, Access is denied." This means UAC is running and to get service to run you need to run kmttg as Administrator which means changing javaw.exe properties to run as administrator.
Service install now also defaults to Manual start up instead of Automatic.
Removed Ctrl-X File->Exit menu key binding to avoid potential unintended exit of kmttg.
Removed File->Reset TiVo web server menu item as it doesn't do anything useful anyway.
FIXES:
Main File menu item key bindings now work from almost anywhere in kmttg GUI:
Ctrl-A = Clear message window
Ctrl-E = Refresh Encoding Profiles
Ctrl-M = Save message window contents to log file
Ctrl-O = Bring up Configuration options GUI
Ctrl-S = Bring up Search Table dialog

New in kmttg v1p0b (Jun 24, 2013)

New in kmttg v1p0a (May 27, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added Help->Update kmttg... menu entry which can be used to update kmttg installation to the latest version automatically.
Added Help->Update tools... menu entry which can be used to update kmttg helper tools for Windows and Mac platforms instead of having to manually download and install the tools zip file when updating.
For Remote Guide tab previously when returning to this tab from a different tab the Start selection would always reset to the 1st entry when the time range was updated. This has now been updated to return to previous selection if still relevant.
CHANGES:
For Remote Season Passes table when you delete a Season Pass the selection now moves to the row above the one you deleted. Previously you would simply lose selection completely.
For Now Playing List table when you delete 1 or more shows the row selection is now set to the row above the lowest selection when possible. Previously you would simply lose selection completely.
Removed -bug argument not compatible with recent ffmpeg builds for ffmpeg encoding profiles:
ff_droid
ff_h264_high_rate
ff_h264_med_rate
Windows tools package update (kmttg_win32_tools_v0p9s):
ffmpeg updated to May 2013 version
handbrake cli updated to 0.9.9
Added -v command line option for printing out current kmttg version.
Added --cookie-jar cookieFile option back to curl-based download tasks.
FIXES:
Updated AtomicParsley run such that --TVEpisodeNum argument is just the episode # without season # for correct display by AppleTV and the like.
Strip out leading 0s from ProgramId numbers when checking against auto.history file to see if a program has been downloaded before. This is to workaround cases when TiVo XML data doesn't have leading 0s in ProgramId number which has been reported to happen sometimes.
Removed chcp command from Mac/Linux scripts for curl-based combined download/decrypt. That command is only supposed to be included in Windows scripts for proper international character support in file names.
When Allow only 1 download at a time option was enabled it would block non-download jobs from running as well if more than 1 download was queued up.

New in kmttg v0p9r (May 27, 2013)

New in kmttg v0p9q (May 27, 2013)

New in kmttg v0p9p (May 27, 2013)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added Autoresolve button to Remote Won't Record tab. Searches for all conflicts of type 'programSourceConflict' on all RPC or Mind enabled TiVos and tries to automatically schedule them to record on alternate TiVos.
Associated with the above kmttg now supports a new command line argument -c which can be used to run kmttg in batch mode to run the auto conflict resolver. That way you can setup a script to run it in batch mode and add the script to a scheduler to periodically run it automatically (say once a week) without having to run from the GUI.
By request [SeriesEpNumber] field was added as an option for TiVo File Naming which is Episode number in Plex Media Manager format: s#e# Note that it is assumed the episode number is 2 digits which is not always the case for every series.
For Remote tables that indicate ToDo recordings there is now a 15 minute window after which kmttg automatically refreshes ToDo list. Previously ToDo list would only update 1st time and you would have to refresh manually, so if you left kmttg GUI open for a long time that became inconvenient.
For Remote Season Premieres table when a show is clicked on that is already scheduled as a Season Pass the message window now indicates which TiVo the Season Pass is on.
Added Hulu Plus, AOL On and Launchpad HME destinations to Remote.
CHANGES:
Percent complete indicator for ToDo, Won't Record and Deleted Remote tasks is implemented when querying series 4 units.
Added note when Remote Info tab Network Connect button fails that the reason is likely that box is in "Pending Restart" mode and thus cannot net connect until after reboot and software update.
FIXES:
When folders are selected when clicking on START button kmttg will now properly queue up tasks including items inside the folders. Previously with folders as part of selection they were discarded along with any subsequent selections.
Fix to Remote Season Passes Modify button to update upcoming & conflicts. In previous release after using Modify button that information was not being included in the displayed table.
Updated Save Jobs to skip any remote job types since they are not serializable and hence cannot be saved/restored.
For both TWP Delete and iPad Delete tasks kmttg now checks if the task is relevant for the TiVo for which the delete is requested. This avoids trying to perform a delete when both options are enabled but not necessarily relevant for a TiVo unit. Thus, for example TWP Delete is no longer attempted for series 4 units.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added Use comskip GUI to review detected commercials option to Program Options configuration. When this is enabled following Ad Detect task that uses comskip kmttg will bring up comskip GUI that allows you to review and make modifications to the detected commercials visually. Consult comskip_commercial_editing Wiki page for a summary of how to use the comskip visual editor.
For RPC Remote Record button added Try scheduling on all TiVos option. If option is enabled then kmttg will successively try and schedule the selected recording on all available RPC-enabled TiVos. Thus if scheduling fails on originally targeted TiVo due to conflicts, then successively try scheduling on other available TiVos instead.
Added Combine Ad Cut & Encode VideoRedo configuration option which if enabled means kmttg will combine the Ad Cut and encode tasks into 1 by using the selected VideoRedo encoding profile during the Ad Cut step. Note that this only works if you have a VideoRedo encoding profile selected, otherwise an error is generated and the Ad Cut task is aborted.
Added Force QS Fix output to always be mpeg2 Program Stream VideoRedo configuration option which will force VideoRedo to output mpeg2 program stream format regardless of the input video file format. This is useful for example if you have TS downloads enabled but want to get mpeg2 program stream format output instead of mpeg2 transport stream.
Added movieYear if available to description printed to message window when clicking on a show for various tables.
Added [originalAirDate] as an available keyword for File Naming in kmttg config. This will use originalAirDate if available, else uses the equivalent of [year]-[monthNum]-[mday] of recording otherwise.
CHANGES:
RPC Remote Won't Record table now will indicate if an entry that won't record is scheduled to record at an alternate time slot on all TiVos.
Made video files default file filter for File Browser to show all video files by default instead of just ts, mpg, tivo.
FIXES:
Fixed NullPointerException problem when attempting to create a Wishlist using WL button from RPC Remote tabs.
When encountering a scheduling conflict while using RPC Remote Record button, the conflicting programs were not being listed by kmttg.
RPC Remote Info tab had an issue handling channels without callSign which has now been fixed.
Fixes for AtomicParsley --contentRating and --hdvideo flags (for newer AtomicParsley binaries that support those options).
If you quit kmttg with a VRD encoding profile as current selection now kmttg will restore that selection next time kmttg is started and VRD profiles are obtained.

NOTE: VRDscripts/qsfix.vbs and VRDscripts/adcut.vbs files were updated in this release, so when upgrading make sure to tar over existing installation such that all files get updated, not just kmttg.jar.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Added Remote functionality for series 3 TiVo models that don't have direct RPC protocol support. kmttg will use middlemind.tivo.com server for Remote functionality for TiVos that don't have Enable iPad style communications with this TiVo option enabled in kmttg config.
Note that not all the functionality is available and various buttons that do not apply are disabled when using middlemind server for a TiVo. Also note that scheduling individual recordings and season passes on this TiVo will have delayed functionality with email confirmations just as if you scheduled them from tivo.com or equivalent online guides.
Related to this enhancement, the config->Tivos tab now has settings where you can supply your tivo.com username & password to use for logging into middlemind server. If you don't specify them directly in config but you configure kmttg for pyTivo.conf and that contains the username & password, kmttg will get them from there.
kmttg now automatically detects and enables RPC functionality for series 4 units known to support RPC.
Added pyTivo stream button to FILES tab if at least 1 TiVo in kmttg config has RPC (iPad style communications) enabled.
This allows you to stream video files to a series 4 or later TiVo using TiVoCast HME Video Player and pyTivo as a video server. You can choose a video file that resides under one of pyTivo video shares in the FILES table and then click on this button to stream it to a specified series 4 or later TiVo.
The advantage of streaming this way vs for example Streambaby is that there is no 1.1GB buffer limitation.
NOTE: This only works for unencrypted mpeg2 program stream and H.264 mp4 files that pyTivo can transfer without having to transcode. If you attempt to stream a non-compliant video that pyTivo transcodes this will not work. .TiVo files also won't work.
Added Show pending pyTivo pushes File menu item that brings up a dialog box that allows you to view currently queued up pyTivo pushes on TiVo Mind server and to remove selected entries from the queue.
You must first select TiVo tab corresponding to destination TiVo of pushes you want to check on before selecting the menu entry.
VideoRedo qsfix job now properly handles input files other than mpeg2 program stream type.
Previously this task would always output type mpeg2 program stream regardless of input file type but now will try and preserve same input container and video type for the output file.
Note that as part of this change VRDscripts/qsfix.vbs was updated.
VideoRedo adcut job now properly handles input files other than mpeg2 program stream type.
Previously this task would always output type mpeg2 program stream regardless of input file type but now will try and preserve same input container and video type for the output file.
Note that as part of this change VRDscripts/adcut.vbs was updated.
RPC Remote ToDo list retrieval for multiple TiVos at a time now is run in parallel instead of sequentially to help speed things up when you have more than 1 TiVo.
CHANGES:
projectx, projectxcut, and comskip tasks now check for mpeg2 video input since other video types are not supported for these tasks.
FIXES:
RPC Remote Season Passes GUI had a bug where after loading SP data all subsequent operations would be treated as loaded data even after using Refresh button to load SP data from a TiVo.

New in kmttg v0p9d (May 27, 2013)

New in kmttg v0p9c (May 27, 2013)

NOTE: Encoding profiles were updated in this release, so if upgrading from a previous version be sure to unzip over your current installation and choose to overwrite existing files in order to update your installation "encode" folder.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new config option to Program Options tab called extra metadata entries which allows users to specify one or more key:value pairs to be added by kmttg when creating pyTivo metadata files. This could be useful for example if you want to add "image:folder.jpg" line automatically to every metadata file for cases when you have folder images and you want AtomicParsley to add the image to video metadata as specified in the pyTivo metadata file. If you have more than 1 entry to add you can do so by separating key:value pairs with a comma character.
RPC Remote enhancements
Season Passes table now shows number of upcoming recordings for each Season Pass after the title name. There is also an Upcoming button added to display upcoming recordings for a selected Season Pass. Upcoming recordings are displayed in the ToDo table and can be cancelled and modified.
Season Passes table now uses pinkish background to indicate Season Passes with episodes that won't record. There is also a Conflicts button which can be used to display the episodes that won't record. These episodes are displayed in the Won't Record table when clicking on this button. You can choose an entry with conflicts and press Explain button to list the shows in conflict. You can also choose to record shows on an alternate TiVo.
Won't Record table now has an Explain button that can be used to list all the shows in conflict for entries under programSourceConflict folder.
Added Modify button to ToDo tab which allows you to modify recording options of selected shows in To Do table.
Recording Options, Season Pass Options and Create Wishlist dialogs now indicate as a label which TiVo the action is set to take place on.
Sometimes it's easy to forget to choose the desired TiVo before starting an operation so this serves as a reminder which TiVo is selected.
For TiVos with RPC remote enabled in kmttg, any missing OriginalAirDate and EpisodeNumber information is now obtained for all shows from RPC data (which is usually much more complete than the traditional TTG XML data). After the remote NP List job completes the NPL table will be populated with the extra data and titles with missing episode numbers are updated. When you create pyTivo metadata file the added information will also be included there now as well. (This obsoletes the need to right click on a show to obtain OriginalAirDate information for RPC enabled TiVos).
Added "# SHOWS" label to ToDo and Deleted tabs that displays total count of shows in the table.
The j keyboard shortcut that dumps all selected table entry information to message window now dumps entries alphabetically by name in a much more easily readable format. (This shortcut was added to the Won't Record and Deleted tables which previously didn't have it).
CHANGES:
Updated ffmpeg encoding profiles to allow them to work with recent versions of ffmpeg that are not backwards compatible.
Ignore TiVo Stream devices (TSN prefix "A94") during TiVo detection for both Bonjour & Beacon methods.
Keep comskip .txt file when comskip is used for Ad Detect task so user has option to visually inspect and edit cut points using comskip following the task. The .txt file will be deleted after Ad Cut task if Remove Ad Detect files after Ad Cut option is enabled.
For RPC remote you can now place a cdata.p12 file along with a cdata.password file in same folder as kmttg.jar such that these will be used for RPC authentication purposes. This is mainly to allow kmttg RPC remote to be used with TiVos with other providers such as Virgin in the U.K. which have different PCKS12 certificates and passwords.
FIXES:
Fix to originalAirDate retrieval when right clicking on a show in NPL. (Previously wrong OAD could be obtained for pre or post padded recordings).
When creating a wishlist with "autorecord" option if user cancelled the autorecord dialog a null exception error message would result.
RPC Deleted table would show previously removed table items again when switching TiVos without using Refresh button.

NOTE: Tools zip files for Windows and Mac systems now includes "ProjectX" which is a useful tool to have if you do not have VideoRedo? available for use with kmttg. This free tool can now be used for QS Fix task and will also be used for Ad Cut task instead of mencoder to help keep A/V sync. For this release the Windows tool zip file was updated to use Handbrake 0.9.5.
ENHANCEMENTS:
iPad remote enhancements:
Added physical Delete button to Season Passes tab. Previously could use keyboard Delete button to remove Season Passes but most users were not aware of that, so adding the button makes it more obvious.
Added Refresh ToDo button to Search, Guide and Won't Record tabs which allows one to refresh ToDo list used to highlight shows that are already scheduled to record in those tables.
The Won't Record tab now also obtains ToDo list so as to highlight shows that may be scheduled to record on other TiVos. This makes it easier when handling tuner conflicts to see if you have all shows you want to make sure are recorded on 1 of your TiVos.
A single unified ToDo list is now shared among Search, Guide and Won't Record tabs instead of each one using an independent ToDo list. This avoids obtaining ToDo lists multiple times for different tables as was the case previously.
For table entries that are flagged as being in ToDo list when you click on table entry the title printed to kmttg message window will now show (to be recorded on tivoName) so that you know which TiVo this show is scheduled to record on without having to run/consult ToDo table.
CHANGES:
For iPad Remote Guide tab the Channels button will now queue up a remote job managed by job manager instead of running blindly in the background since obtaining channel list can take quite a long time.
The ProjectX-based QSFix and Ad Cut tasks now both run demux/remux as a single job rather than queuing up separate demux/remux jobs.
FIXES:
For iPad Remote Search task moved obtaining of To Do lists to be part of background search task so as not to hang up kmttg GUI while obtaining the To Do entries.
For iPad Remote Search table eliminated stack trace when column sorting is enabled.
Corrected preset name in hb_appletv2 encoding profile to be "AppleTV 2" instead of "AppleTV 3" and added user-suggested hb_tivo_hd_crf profile which is same as hb_appletv2 plus addition of captions. NOTE: Handbrake does not stop when given a preset name it does not recognize so when attempting to use hb_appletv2 profile with Handbrake 0.9.4 or earlier you don't get the desired encoding, so make sure to update to latest version of Handbrake (0.9.5) which is now included in kmttg Windows zip file.

NOTE: Tools zip files for Windows systems now includes "ProjectX" which is a useful tool to have if you do not have VideoRedo available for use with kmttg. This free tool can now be used for QS Fix task and will also be used for Ad Cut task instead of mencoder to help keep A/V sync. If you don't have VideoRedo and want ProjectX based QS Fix utility then you should either download and install ProjectX or install kmttg to a new folder and let it download and install the new zip file automatically.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new File menu item toggle Resume Downloads which when enabled signifies to download a show starting from its pause point instead of from the beginning. This is especially useful for those that sometimes run into trouble transferring a whole show because of glitches at some point in the show that prevent the show from transferring completely.
VRD QS fix task re-named to QS Fix. If configured for ProjectX tool (included in Windows and Mac tools zip files) kmttg will use ProjectX demux to fix mpeg2 glitches and then remux the fixed streams back to mpeg2 program stream. This provides a viable alternative to VideoRedo for fixing mpeg2 video problems before proceeding to subsequent tasks. (For those with VideoRedo configured it will still be used for QS Fix task). Since ProjectX is a java based tool it will work on any platform that can also run kmttg. NOTE: Unfortunately ProjectX does not preserve Closed Captions in this process.
Ad Cut task updated to use ProjectX if available instead of mencoder for mpeg2 commercial cutting. ProjectX does a better job at peforming the cut and preserving A/V sync and fixing timestamp issues. kmttg will automatically set output_projectx=1 in comskip ini file if necessary. Since ProjectX outputs demuxed files it is followed by an ffmeg remux task to produce muxed mpeg2 cut file. VideoRedo will still be used as first choice if available/configured.
Added user-contributed ffmpeg encoding profile ff_evo for HTC Evo.
FIXES:
For recordings with start time padding kmttg was not able to find recordingId needed for ipad delete. That issue is now fixed in this release.

NOTE: This release includes a new "images_rc" folder as part of installation that must be installed for iPad remote to work properly. i.e. If updating from a previous installation be sure to have this folder installed in same folder as kmttg.jar.
ENHANCEMENTS:
iPad Remote enhancements:
For Season Passes tab added ability to change the order of rows displayed in SP table along with a new Re-order button which allows you to change SP priority order of target TiVo. NOTE: Sorting by clicking on column headers is now disabled for this table in order to allow user-defined order changes.
Changed Advanced Controls tab name to Remote Control and added full set of TiVo remote buttons to the panel. Each button has a keyboard shortcut as well and tooltip for each button indicates the keyboard mapping. In addition to the buttons and their keyboard shortcuts there is keyboard support for A-Z, asterisk, delete, space, back space, comma, underscore and ampersand keys all of which are useful when using a screen with virtual keyboard on the TiVo. The original Advanced Controls set of buttons are still there as well along with new "combo" buttons for on screen clock (SPS9S), clear banner quickly (SPSPS), toggle Standby mode & Toggle Closed Captions. NOTE: Closed Captions toggle actually uses the "telnet" interface and assumes CC is off as initial state. Here is picture of the updated tab:
Added new configuration option under Tivos tab called Start NPL jobs when starting kmttg GUI. If enabled then NPL jobs are automatically started when kmttg GUI starts (as has been the case for past kmttg releases). If disabled then NPL jobs will not be started automatically, which means NPL tables will not be populated until you manually start NPL jobs by clicking on Refresh button for each TiVo of interest.
With Start NPL jobs when starting kmttg GUI option enabled, NPL jobs now start after GUI is created in GUI mode so that job monitor now shows the initial Now Playing jobs. Previously when first starting kmttg GUI the initial NPL tasks were not displayed.
FIXES:
Fixed GUI table row removal for cases when column-based sorting is in effect. Previously the wrong row would be removed from table when custom sorting was turned on.

ENHANCEMENTS:
Many new enhancements for Premiere owners thanks to some reverse engineering of the iPad protocol by TCF member 'arantius' which allows communicating with TiVo Premiere units using the iPad protocol without needing an iPad, which opens the door to a lot of information which can now be obtained from Premiere units. For this release these are the new features available related to this capability:
New "Remote Control" GUI with several tabs to collect information from and interact with Premiere TiVos:
ToDo tab which allows you to display To Do List for selected Premiere. Once you have To Do List displayed you can select upcoming recordings in the table and use the keyboard delete to cancel them.
Season Passes tab which allows you to display Season Pass list for selected Premiere. You can also backup Season Passes from a TiVo to a file on your computer and load them back into kmttg. You can also copy displayed Season Passes to any TiVo Premiere on your network. i.e. You can now backup your Season Pass list and copy Season Passes from one TiVo to another. Finally you can also select SP items in the table and use the keyboard delete to unsubscribe them.
Will Not Record tab which displays list of all upcoming recordings that TiVo will not record (like View Recording History on your TiVo) and categorizes the shows into different folder names that describe why they won't be recorded. i.e. This is an easier way to find important recordings that won't record without having to wade through many reasons you don't care about (e.g. repeats).
Advanced Controls tab which has buttons that allow you to jump precisely user-specified N minutes ahead or backwards or exactly to minute N in currently playing show. i.e. Advanced navigation control. There is also an "HME Jump" button which allows you to choose a TiVo HME application in a list and jump directly to it. (NOTE: This does not include local HME applications).
System Information tab which allows you to list some system information obtained from selected TiVo: software version, total disk size, used disk space, parental controls state, current background and foreground tuner channel information.
Ability to play and delete shows displayed in Now Playing List for Premiere TiVos using "space" and "delete" keyboard buttons respectively.
Ability to setup "iPad delete" tasks for GUI and auto transfers which gives you option to automatically delete show on your Premieres once successfully downloaded and decrypted.
NOTE: Under kmttg configuration "Tivos" tab there is a new item called Enable iPad style communications with this TiVo which when enabled turns on the capabilities listed above - only works for TiVo Premieres or newer, not older units.
NOTE: Also under kmttg configuration "Program Options" tab there is a new item called "Enable iPad style delete task" which when enabled along with the above mentioned option makes a new "iPad delete" task available for use.
Added capability of using "delete" keyboard button to remove shows on TiVos for TiVo Web Plus enabled TiVos (hacked TiVos).
CHANGES:
Added --no-verify option to tivodecode calls based on user feedback that it helped avoid tivodecode failures for some cases.
Usually that means the TiVo file is so corrupted that the MAK check fails for that portion of decode, which means the resulting decrypted mpeg will have some pixelation at that point.
User provided patch to encoding profile command line parsing to treat quote enclosed strings as a single command line argument.
Update to a few VRDscripts to ensure proper abort of VideoRedo if a job is cancelled.
FIXES:
Added TiVoWebPlus deletion support following combined download/decrypt tasks (previously only supported for plain decrypt tasks).

New in kmttg 0p7m (Sep 13, 2010)

IMPORTANT NOTE: New encoding profiles were included in this release, so if upgrading from a previous version be sure to update your installation "encode" folder.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Added autotune capability to have kmttg automatically tune both TiVo tuners to specified channels before initiating a download from a TiVo. If you have TiVo tune to channels you don't subscribe to or to music channels, this can improve the download speeds as it frees up more resources on the TiVo to handle the download.
This only works for Series 3 & 4 TiVos that have Network Remote Control option enabled.
You can enable Network Remote Control option for Series 3/4 TiVos as follows:
TiVo Central-Messages&Settings-Settings-Remote,CableCARD&Devices-Network Remote Control
Configuration is under new Autotune tab (last tab under configuration that you may have to scroll to see).
You can specify 2 different channels to use under configuration - 1 for each tuner. Typically these would be channels you don't subscribe to or music channels so as to reduce load on your TiVo.
There are also some other timing options under configuration to fine tune and test the network channel changing feature for each TiVo you want.
For each tune kmttg uses following sequence of button presses for the tune: LIVETV,CLEAR,CHANNEL #,ENTER. There is a configurable wait time in seconds between tunes to give TiVo a chance to react to the network button pushes.
Under configuration there is option to enable/disable this feature for each TiVo on your network (and use different channels and fine tuning parameters for each if you wish).
Added true xml parsing of TiVo show information for metadata creation. This also now allows for seriesId to be parsed from .TiVo files and included in metadata files (previously it was ommitted for .TiVo files due to parsing shortcomings).
Per user request added new option: For QS Fix of .mpg file backup original .mpg
If running VRD QS Fix on a .mpg file kmttg will rename the original .mpg file to .mpg.bak if this option is enabled. Otherwise by default kmttg removes the original .mpg file and replaces with the fixed version following successful VideoRedo QS Fix run.
Added 2 new user-contributed encoding profiles:
ff_droid - for Motorola droid
me_bb9k - for Blackberry 9xxx series
Updated hb_appletv encoding profile according to user update - uses mostly Handbrake AppleTV preset
Added % complete display in GUI mode for encode task for mencoder based profiles.
For encoding tasks kmttg will not display file size in job monitor if it is zero size.
Aesthetic: Changed job monitor elapsed time to h:mm:ss format (from hh:mm:ss).
FIXES:
When captions task enabled kmttg will look for TiVo and all mpeg2 file name variations to use as source file in cases when the TiVo file is removed as part of the task set. In previous releases if you started from TiVo file and had Remove .TiVo file after decrypt option enabled, srt file generation would fail because TiVo file was not available at the time the captions task kicked in.
Updated pyTivo metadata generators to always look for values within in the xml tree, otherwise can be duplicate keys for other shows if pre or post padding is used for a recording.
When Overwrite existing files option is set and a download would overwrite existing file kmttg would not properly display the transfer rate for that file. For some handbrake encoding profiles kmttg would not properly update % complete in GUI during encoding.
Fixed issue with null exception thrown when a new TiVo name is detected on the network while kmttg service is running.

New in kmttg 0p7l (Jun 12, 2010)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Updated certain ffmpeg encoding profiles to use a fixed height but variable width output resolution so as to preserve the proper display aspect ratio when playing on target device. Since ffmpeg doesn't have this capability natively kmttg now uses a #xHEIGHT keyword in encoding profile which tells kmttg to compute the proper WIDTH to use. WIDTHx# keyword is also supported for variable in which case proper HEIGHT is computed by kmttg. kmttg uses ffmpeg to determine the display aspect ratio of the input video file and then uses that ratio to calculate the corresponding WIDTH or HEIGHT to use, rounded to nearest even number.
Specifically the following ffmpeg profiles were updated to use this feature so that they end up with same aspect ratio for output as that of the input video file. The listed profiles below were also updated to use higher values for qmin & qmax such that resulting output file sizes are much lower. Finally the listed profiles were also switched to H.264 video instead of mpeg4 for improved video quality: ff_ipad ff_iphone ff_ipod_high_res ff_ipod_low_res
Added user-contributed mencoder iphone profile to distribution: me_iphone.
Added capability to run AtomicParsley run in FILES mode for files ending in .mp4/.m4v suffix. This was by request by some users who encode outside kmttg but still want to use a GUI for AtomicParsley run which uses information from pyTivo metadata file to add to mp4/m4v files. There is a Run AtomicParsley button now available in FILES tab so you can explicitly run it on selected mp4/m4v files.
Added new video files filter with all the common video file extensions to File Browser in FILES mode in addition to existing tivo and mpg and all files filters.
Added Jobs sub-menu to Files menu with 3 new commands:
Do not launch queued jobs - A toggle menu item that when enabled prevents queued jobs from launching.
Save queued jobs - Saves current set of queued jobs to a file so that they can be loaded back into kmttg in the future. Useful if you need to exit kmttg without losing queued set of jobs.
Load queued jobs - Load from a previously saved file a set of queued jobs to run in kmttg.
FIXES:
Updated hb_iphone and hb_ipod encoding profiles to match the 0.9.4 Handbrake built in profiles. The previous profiles would not sync to iPod when used with 0.9.4 Handbrake.

New in kmttg 0p7k (May 14, 2010)

ENHANCEMENTS:
Added new Auto Transfers -> Loop in GUI checkbox menu entry. When checkbox enabled this will run Auto Transfers in the GUI in a continuous loop (until disabled or kmttg GUI shut down) unlike Run Once in GUI which only runs 1 pass. This provides an alternative to running Auto Transfers as a kmttg service (Windows) or background job (Mac/Linux) with easier visual feedback of queued jobs and status of running jobs.
NOTE: Loop in GUI mode also automatically logs messages to auto.log.0 file just as in service/background mode.
Added new ff_ipad 720p H.264 encoding profile for iPad devices.
Added new logging mechanism for Auto Transfers. Auto Transfer logs to file auto.log.0 and once a user-configurable file size limit is reached the file is copied to auto.log.1 and auto.log.0 is reset. This is to give users control over auto transfers log files which otherwise grow very large over time and have to be emptied out manually. A configuration option under File Settings tab called auto log file size limit (MB) allows you set to file size limit in MBytes (default is 10).
CHANGES:
Download TiVo files in Transport Stream format option is now disabled by default again for a fresh kmttg installation due to various problems being reported with download and decrypt using TS container vs PS container for TiVo Premiere units.
pyTivo metadata text files are now written to use \r character at end of lines to be Windows compatible and so that Windows Media Player doesn't crash when trying to parse the txt file. This also allows easy manual editing of the files with Windows Notepad.
Auto Transfers -> Add selected to history file menu entry now adds ProgramId_unique in addition to ProgramId to auto.history file in case Treat each recording as unique option is used for certain shows.
Auto Transfers menu entry Run in GUI changed to Run Once in GUI to more obviously distinguish from new Loop in GUI menu entry.
Change to use an alternate (simpler) approach to writing messages to message pane in GUI mode.
FIXES:
The GUI message pane is now restricted to up to 250KB of ascii text maximum (which corresponds to about 10MB or RAM used by the message pane). Once limit is reached earlier text in message pane is truncated. Previously there was no limit to amount of text allowed which meant if single GUI session was in use for a long time that Java memory use would eventually max out leading to application stack trace. This fix is especially needed now for use with Auto Transfers -> Loop in GUI capability which build up a lot of displayed messages for a single GUI session over time.
Restore of FILES Default Path setting fixed. In last several releases that setting would always reset to .TiVo Output Dir setting when starting kmttg.
GUI restore of Ad Detect setting was fixed. This was broken in previous release.

New in kmttg 0p7j (May 14, 2010)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Windows and Mac tools packages were updated, so if upgrading from a previous release be sure to remove the "tivodecode" folder of your previous installation in order to force kmttg to download the new tools packages.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Added automatic retry attempts for failed downloads which some users run into occasionally. Two new configuration settings were added to Program Options tab that are related:
o # download attempts (defaults to 5)
o seconds between download retry attempts (defaults to 10)
Added better detection of failed downloads to go along with automatic failed download retry enhancement.
VideoRedo option Encode using VideoRedo changed to Show VideoRedo encoding profiles. The behavior now is that VideoRedo profiles are ADDED to list of available Encoding Profiles for encode task. i.e. With that option enabled you can now choose among both VideoRedo and non-VideoRedo endcoding profiles for the encode task. Previously with option enabled only the VideoRedo encoding profiles were displayed/available.
VideoRedo encoding profiles parser updated to support latest TV Suite 4 598 release which changed the reporting of output files slightly compared to previous versions.
Added new auto transfers config option: Treat each recording as unique. If enabled then kmttg will generate a unique ProgramId based on ProgramId and recorded time for each recording of this program. This is useful only for programs that do not already have unique ProgramIds for each episode, such as some news programs for example. For such programs kmttg would not ordinarily auto download subsequent episodes because a ProgramId entry already exists in auto.history file. By enabling this option kmttg will instead use a time-based ProgramId entry so that future recordings on different dates with same ProgramId will still auto download.
Updated tooltips related to Download TiVo files in Transport Stream format to include the TiVo Premiere as a DVR which supports this option. Also updated the Windows and Macintosh tools packages to include the newer version of tivodecode with Transport Stream support.
Added new configuration option under Program Options called Enable TivoWebPlus Delete task useful for those with hacked TiVos using TivoWebPlus. When enabled kmttg GUI & auto transfers setup will present an additional TWP Delete task. When that task is enabled kmttg will use TivoWebPlus to delete a show off the TiVo once TiVo file has been successfully downloaded and decrypted.
GUI now saves/restores the job table column order as well as the kmttg screen position.
Added new configuration option under Program Options called mencoder Ad Cut extra args which allows you to add additional custom arguments to mencoder for the Ad Cut task (comcut).
Disk Usage GUI will now set Total Disk Space (GB) as the total used space if user has not set that option. Setting that option to 0 also will reset it such that it will display total used space thus far. This is in case user does not know in advance how much disk space is available for recordings.
CHANGES:
The previously supported workaround to deal with programs without unique ProgramId has been deprecated by the Treat each recording as unique auto transfers option described above and therefore is no longer used.
Added an additional check to VRD QS Fix task such that if input is a TiVo file and corresponding output mpeg file already exists then task is not scheduled to run if Overwrite existing files option is disabled.
Job table sorting disabled. Doesn't really serve a useful purpose to sort job table by different columns and if one accidently clicked on a column header one could not revert to default sort order showing job execution priority.
Added new VideoReDo4.exe executable name to list of executable names searched for to start VideoRedo in GUI mode (for vrdreview task).
Updated Windows and Mac tools packages to include latest version of tivodecode with TS support and comskip.
Download TiVo files in Transport Stream format option is now enabled by default for a fresh kmttg installation.
custom job now will also look for [mpegFile_cut] with VideoRedo extension file (02).mpg if file_cut.mpg file does not exist.
FIXES:
Fix to prevent folder names ending in white space. At least for Windows OS when creating a folder ending in white space the OS truncates the white space off the end of folder name which could lead to trouble depending how you configure File Naming setup.
Updated pyTivo push call to work properly with change in pyTivo response to external push calls in recent releases. Prior to this fix auto_push would always get 404 (Not Found) response from pyTivo server leading to error message "Not Found" being printed after every push by kmttg (even though pushes were going through fine still). NOTE: Subsequently pyTivo has been updated again so this is no longer an issue, but the fix still is valid with the new update as well.
Removed the previously added -noskip -mpegopts vbuf_size=400 arguments to mencoder for the comcut task as this was causing A/V sync issues and other problems for some users. Instead you can now add your own custom arguments for mencoder comcut task as detailed above.
Minor fix to qsfix task reporting delete of a null file under certain conditions.

New in kmttg 0p7i (Feb 15, 2010)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some encoding profiles were updated in this release, so if upgrading from a previous version be sure to update your installation encode folder.
ENHANCEMENTS
Main GUI stretchable panels can now stretch full range vertically instead of a limited range.
Improved Auto Transfers GUI so that can be more easily stretched vertically and horizontally without becoming unusable.
Added new config option (Visual tab) called Auto size NPL column widths. If enabled then NPL table column widths are automatically sized to fit text as in previous releases. If disabled then column widths are not auto sized and user can set their preferred fixed widths, and the column widths are saved between GUI sessions.
For the Encode using VideoRedo option (with VideoRedo TVSuite 4) now all encoding profile types are available as an option rather than just MP4 & WMV types.
CHANGES
When Bring up VRD GUI to make manual cuts option is enabled the vrdreview task now checks for expected output file: " (02).mpg" or "_cut.mpg". If one of those files is not found once task completes (user closes VideoRedo) then task is marked as failed and kmttg won't look to delete input files if Remove .mpg file after Ad Cut option is also enabled. This is to prevent possibility of losing input mpeg file when VideoRedo GUI is accidently closed before user generates expected output file.
Per user feedback added "-noskip -mpegopts vbuf_size=400" to mencoder command for comcut task.
For config dialog there is now a tab scrollbar added if there is not enough space to fit all tabs horizontally instead of wrapping tabs around vertically as was the case in previous releases.
Config dialog tab changes: Visual tab was added in place of General for all GUI visual related settings and remaining former General tab items were moved to Program Options tab.
Removed HD Channels folder in folder view as almost all feedback for that folder was negative.
FIXES
Fixed issue with initiating push task in FILES mode when pyTivo Files to push setting was set to all. In prior releases this would result in error and Java trace dump due to null string problem.
Added -level 41 to ff_tivo_hd & ff_tivo_sd profiles for TiVo compatibility (TiVo does not accept H.264 > level 41). Also updated those profiles and increased the video bit rates for much better quality results.

New in kmttg 0p7h (Feb 1, 2010)

ENHANCEMENTS
Changed GUI to use stretchable panes so that now it is possible to resize the Now Playing List table relative to bottom panes as well as resize Job pane relative to Message pane. The tasks row and encoding row in main GUI were also modified not to stretch with main window for more compact horizontal spacing and better look.
download task now displays current transfer rate (in Mbps) in the STATUS column of Job Monitor. The rate indicates current transfer rate by computing # of bytes downloaded over last 5 seconds or so. This can be useful metric to have when trying to optimize/speed up transfers by tuning to blank channels, pausing playback, etc.
Several VideoRedo related enhancements:
Now when you cancel VideoRedo related jobs VideoRedo will actually be stopped as well. Previously the cscript job was killed but VideoRedo would continue running.
All VideoRedo related tasks now have percent completion included.
New Allow multiple VideoRedo jobs at once option which if enabled allows multiple VideoRedo tasks to run at the same time. Enabling this option works around a bug in VideoRedo which does not allow more than 1 "silent" version of VideoRedo to run at once. Side effect of enabling this option is for each VideoRedo task the initial GUI will popup momentarily before hiding itself from view if you are running kmttg in GUI mode.
New Encode using VideoRedo option available. If you have VideoRedo TVSuite 4 this enables you to use built in and/or custom VideoRedo encoding profiles for the "encode" task. kmttg will automatically switch to show available VideoRedo mp4 & wmv encoding profiles if this option is enabled.
Config option added under General tab: Do not show copy protected files in table. Enabling this option filters out copy protected shows from being listed in TiVo Now Playing Lists.
Config option added under General tab: Min # Channel Digits which sets minimum number of digits to use for channel numbers. Leading channel number will be padded with zeros if shorter than this number. For example:
=> channel 2 = 2; channel 704 = 704
=> channel 2 = 02; channel 704 = 704
=> channel 2 = 002; channel 704 = 704
=> channel 2 = 0002; channel 704 = 0704CHANGES
Updated default ffmpeg to newer version. Also updated encoding profiles to work with newer ffmpeg.
Updated default win32 & Mac OSX tools zip package to use newer ffmpeg & handbrake executables.
x264 encoding updated to work with newer ffmpeg for the following profiles:
ff_h264_high_rate, ff_h264_med_rate, ff_ps3, ff_tivo_hd, ff_tivo_sd, ff_xbox360 Switched to use aac codec instead of libfaac and mpeg4 instead of libxvid for the following profiles to support newer ffmpeg:
ff_iphone, ff_ipod_hig_res, ff_ipod_low_res, ff_psp, ff_xbox360, ff_zune_hd, ff_zune_mp4 Changed pyTivo push task http timeout from 10 to 60 seconds.
Update to ff_psp profile to use h.264 instead of mpeg4 video codec and also to use higher resolution.
vrdencode graphical task no longer prevents other VideoRedo non-graphical tasks from running. There is still a limit of 1 at a time graphical or non-graphical VideoRedo job however unless you set the Allow multiple VideoRedo jobs at once option.
A few user supplied changes to AtomicParsley runs:
tracknum & --album settings added.
TVSeasonNum used instead of --TVSeason.
Added "Season #" to --title entry if season # exists.
Non-pyTivo "season" and "episode" metadata tags are processed if they exist in metadata file.
Non-pyTivo "artwork" metadata tag is processed if it exists in metadata file.
Some aesthetic changes made to Auto Transfers config GUI: rearranged some options and moved Add/Update/Del buttons below all the options to which they apply.
Initiated jobs now immediately show "started" in job table. Previously they would show "queued" until job statistics started to display.
FIXES
Moved font size setting function to before pack call to prevent UI freezes when kmttg first starts with Java 1.5 (Java 1.6 was not a problem).
Added additional handling of special characters in file names to avoid potential problems with helper applications. All special character handling in file names is now documented in configuring_kmttg Wiki page.
Fix to work with pyTivo share paths specified in pyTivo.conf ending in slash/backslash
Copy protected in progress transfers are now marked with blue in progress transfer icon & blue background. (Previously copy protected status was shown no matter what the transfer status).
Added missing -y option to ff_zune_hd profile.
