Still around and kicking, mostly working on the 2.0.2 features.

In the meantime, we have also worked on setting up a Wiki. The official address is http://wiki.ensemblevideo.com. There you can always find up to date information on things such:

• Plug-in Documentation
• API Documentation
• Watch Directory Documentation
• Links on “Configuring Windows Media Services and IIS on a dual NIC Server”

We have plenty of other documentation to go to the Wiki. If you have any requests, please do chime in.

The v2.0.1.3 update involves mostly bug fixes to the watch directory functionality. v2.0.1.2 was mostly video source interface fixes inside the web application. Below is the full change log.

Furthermore, Ensemble Video recently got a wiki for the various documentation needs. You can find it at http://wiki.ensemblevideo.com.

================

Windows Service
----------------
- Fixed issue with thumbnail generation not working for video files with unrecognized length (such as some Real Media files)

Watch Directory
----------------

- Fixed a bug with the video duration failing to parse properly and failing the file import
- Fixed issue with files being deleted from the application when the process is not able to access the directory where the files reside
- Changed the import process so video meta data is only written to the database when the video is first imported and not touched consecutive times

file not to be processed again

Revision 2.0.1.2
================

- Added setting to toggle the path and http path validation in the video sources interface
- Added http path validation through regular expressions to the setup wizard and video source interface

Sounds a bit confusing, I know, but it is the bomb.

I just finished the Ensemble Video Update program. Here are it's features:

• Checks your installed version and only lists availble updates with version greater than your installed version
• Lists updates by version number and lets you see the changes made with that update
• Applies updates to the application by simply running the program and clicking on "Apply Update"
• Saves the update log to the application setup directory
  
• Update itself if new version is available

On the list of items to do:

• Create a backup of the existing files before an update is applied
• Other things I think of but can't remember right now
  

To install it, just go to http://ensemblevideo.com/download/ensembleVideoUpdate and click on the "Install" button. You most likley will have to use Internet Explorer and not Firefox. This will create a new Start Menu folder called "Symphony Video Inc" and put a shortcut to the "Ensemble Video Update" program.

Version 2.0.1 is out and while it was mostly a bug squashing version, there are a few small additions.On top of the application changes, I am piloting a new update program that will get and apply updates without any hassle. More on that as I test more and make sure everything works.
