Release notes

New in 0.3
  • Delete recordings on the Beyonwiz or on the local disk
  • Move recordings (copy/delete) from the Beyonwiz (or locally). Local moves are done more efficiently than copy/delete where possible.
  • When the --date option is used, the date is separated from the title by ' - ', rather than simply by a single space
  • Optionally (--episode) add episode name to recording folder name (if the episode name is set in the recording header). The episode name is also separated from the recording name by ' - ' if there is an episode name in the recording header.
  • The recording name is constructed as title[ - date][ - episode]
  • Added current transfer rate (and average rate at completion) to the progress bar (--verbose).
  • More graceful handling of the module IO::Socket::Multicast not being available on the system (Windows ActivePerl PPM library doesn't contain IO::Socket::Multicast).
  • Fixed a bug where, if multiple selection arguments were on the command line, only the first was used.
  • Handles recordings in subfolders (available in firmware versions 01.05.269 beta and later)


Fixed in 0.3
  • In earlier versions, if multiple selection arguments were on the command line, only the first was used. Fixed.


Bugs in 0.3
  • Uses bignum package for 64-bit integers, even when the underlying Perl integers are 64 bits.
  • When resuming a download, may fetch up to 32MB more data than is necessary.
  • WizPnP device search is not supported when used in a Windows Command Prompt window. WizPnP search works correctly on Linux, MacOS X and Cygwin on Windows.
  • It is unknown whether deleting a recording that is currently being watched can cause any problems on the Beyonwiz. Normally, if a recording is deleted while it is being watched, the playback stops with an error message and returns the Beyonwiz user to the File List
  • Subfolder handling is primitive. All recordings in all subfolders are treated in the same way. Subfolder selection is not possible. This may be fixed before a Beyonwiz firmware release that allows subfolder access is made public.
  • Does not allow operations on media files from the Beyonwiz contents folder (access to the contents folder is available only in Beyonwiz firmware versions 01.05.271 and later).
  • If a recording is copied or moved on the Beyonwiz, the moved recording "disappears" from getWizPnP, and the new copy cannot be accessed. This is a Beyonwiz firmware bug. Workaround is to make a new recording on the Beyonwiz, delete a recording on the Beyonwiz (not using getWizPnP[/i]), or to restart the Beyonwiz.
