• You can quickly skip through a video being played by hitting the 0-9 buttons on your remote. When you hit one of these keys, you will skip to, for example, 10% of the video file when you hit the '1' key, 20% of the video file when you hit the '2' and so forth.
• The skip button on the remote control now advances 30 seconds in a video being played. The skip back does the same (but skips backward).
• Now includes a screen saver. After the screen saver turns on, hit any key on your remote to get back to the MediaMVP menu. (Note: a future version of MediaMVP software will allow the setting of a timer for when the screen saver goes on).
• You can now turn off thumbnailing in the Settings/Configuration menu.
• Bug fix: some MP3 files had audio distortion on playback. This problem was found and fixed.

Accessory software and demo media for the MediaMVP

PVAStrumento, from our friend Wiljo Heinen, will give you information on MPEG video files. In addition to letting you know the bit rate of the file, it will also tell you the type (MPEG-1 or MPEG-2) of the file.

To use, after opening PVAStrumento, type your file name in Input stream, then click the Info button. Under Video, look at Nominal bitrate. This is the target bitrate (but not the maximum bitrate) when the video file was recorded.

Here is what's in the batch file:
net stop MVPMedia
net stop MVPMedia
MVPMedia /visible
net start MVPMedia

To install this batch file, download it into the directory which holds the MediaMVP.exe file. Then run the batch file.

To close the MediaMVP user interface on the PC, hit the "Ctrl" key on your PC keyboard.
