Fixed: Many other misc. issues. Fixed/Added: Support for Windows Media Encoder 9 for encoding voice messages and DMC recording of music. NOTE: Some software causes conflicts with Windows Media Encoder 7 (e.g. ULEAD DVD Workshop v 1.2). If you experience an error after voice messages are left or when recording music. You may be experiencing this Microsoft issue. Windows 2000/XP users can download and install Windows Media Encoder 9 to fix this issue. HAL now supports both version of the Encoder. Fixed: Selecting the ‘Settings’ button for Internet in HAL system settings causes a Run-Time error. Fixed: "Alarm" and "Reset" rule conditions should now work for the NAPCO. NOTE: Zone reset function is not available in the NAPCO protocol, hence does not work in HAL. Fixed/Enhanced: HAL’s correlation of powerline x10 data incorrectly associating incomplete signals with previous addresses. This could cause the last valid sensor command in HAL, for example, to think it was being turned on/off again based on the new incomplete signal. Hence, a rule could fire from this as well. Fixed: Modifying a group/macro/scene/mode action now correctly selects the item in the action screen. Fixed: Copy/Past for variables. HAL HomeNetPDA Added: Telephone messages playback support (tested on Compaq iPAQ and Toshiba e740). HALdmc Fixed: Pause being too long when saying "Play <artist/album/genre/custom/year>" without specifying music. Fixed: TTS greeting getting cut off. Fixed: HAL system voices mispronouncing things like am and pm. Added: Logging to help determine any remaining TTS Speak fail errors. Please send support logs if you get this error. HAL HomeNetPDA Added: Summary screen Added: Page/Section name to the top of each page Added: Auto-refresh support Changed: Layout, default columns, column widths, etc… Fixed: Devices and IR screens now retain their ‘view’ when leaving the category and coming back (for both HomeNet and HomeNetPDA) Removed: The ‘Device’ text label next to the device drop down in IR – to conserve space. Added: Initial HomeNet PDA support Device, Telephone, Security some DMC items not yet working. To access add “\HALHomeNetPDA.html” to the HAL server path. Fixed: “Please repeat” issue where you hear this on the telephone immediately before every saying anything. Fixed: Calls sometimes get logged as Unknown when HAL has CID information Fixed: Speak Failed error occurring sometimes when Hal answered the phone and started to play greeting. Fixed: DMC not staying paused when using Ring Tone and CID announces. Also when manually running a macro/mode/scene with a wav file action before a TTS action Fixed: DMC Stop event fires 2 times when end of play list is reached. Fixed: Not able select the status of a security zone in a secondary condition. Added: Added support for resending IR when sending IR fails once Fixed: Home Theater buttons with special characters, e.g. ‘DVD/LD’, do not work by voice or HomeNet. Fixed: HAL resending previous IR action when using custom phrases Fixed: IR sequence running within an IR sequence Fixed: Setting a recording to start at midnight. Fixed: cursor starting in the name field when adding a directory entry Fixed: (needs testing) CID announcement ‘going to sleep’/not announcing in some situations Fixed: Greeting speaking CID information in some cases Fixed: Changed responding timeout to be 10,000 ms when tosexe fails (about 3.5 min, half the time as before |
