Give me strength...
I've posted a new installer:
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_win/get_iplayer_setup_4.8.exe
Folks with Windows 8.1: please test and reply here to let me know if it
works or not before I make it live as the default download. I don't
have Win 8.1 here.
Testing:
- Click "No" when prompted that new version 4.7 exists
- Only select the "get_iplayer" component for re-installation. There is
no reason to reinstall the helper apps.
- Observe whether or not you see the "Intranet settings disabled by
default" warning when Web PVR opens. If Intranet settings are disabled,
leave them off and try to open http://localhost:1935/ directly from
Metro IE launched from the start screen. With Win 8/IE 10, Intranet
settings must be enabled for it to work, but I'd like to know if that
still applies to Win 8.1/IE 11.
Although this replaces the entire get_iplayer component, in effect it
only replaces the shortcut file used to launch the Web PVR:
C:\Program Files\get_iplayer\pvr_manager.url
You can alter the URL in that file directly (right-click->Properties in
Explorer) without re-installing. However, I need some people to check
the installer as well.
