Release Notes for Server Release 1.4.0 build 59
Some early plug-ins built for DivX Connected Server 1.4 can be found
at:
The Connected Plug-ins Download Page
Important
Notice:
For users of the anti-virus software AVG or NOD32, you may receive a
Trojan alert
if your
virus definition files are not up to date. DivX
Connected is (and always has been) virus-free! We can only
guess that some of the code patterns coincidentally shared similar
characteristics to a Trojan definition and were erroneously flagged by
the outdated virus definitions files; all DivX Connected files have
since been deemed safe. Again, if you receive this error,
please
update to the
latest anti-virus definition files.
- On NOD32: Make sure the virus definition database is newer
than July 08
- Sometimes NOD32 does not get updated unless the update
button is clicked few times with the progress bar displaying the update
completed
New Features:
- Flash-based Plug-in Support - Flash video and audio can now
be launched through DivX Connected plug-ins, opening the floodgates to
a vast library of content. Upon release of 1.4, users can
expect to be hit with a wave of new plug-ins, including the likes of
YouTube and Dailymotion, and developers will have the tools they need
to port countless other Flash video sites to the DivX Connected
platform.
- SDK: Film Strip Control - Developers will be able to
leverage (and users will be able to experience) this new UI element,
which lets you smoothly flip through content thumbnails either
vertically or horizontally, taking the DivX Connected UI into the 3rd
dimension, with its perspective and reflection elements.
- SDK: Tile Control - Developers can now easily nest content
into rows and columns of tiles, which are scrollable both horizontally
and vertically. Unlike the original thumbnail control, the
tile control can contain text, labels, images, and more, allowing
developers to let their imaginations run free.
- Under the Hood - The underlying Gecko engine has been
updated, which improves system speed and performance; this is the same
new engine that powers Firefox 3.
- Remote Shutdown - A PC running the DivX Connected Server
software can now be shut down or put to sleep through a menu item in
the main DivX Connected interface. This is most useful when
used in conjunction with the wake-on-LAN feature introduced in the
1.1.2.37 version of the DivX Connected Client firmware. See:
