Software Update: TVersity Media Server 1.7.4 Beta

It is also possible to store media on, for example, a Nintendo Wii, Apple iPhone or Sony PSP to watch. An overview of all supported devices is available on this page to find. The developers released beta version 1.7.4 a while ago which has appeared in both a standard and a pro flavor. The latter can be purchased for just under thirty dollars or euros. The list of changes since the previous entry in the Meutkracker looks like this:

Version 1.7:

Bug Fixes and more:

• Vista UAC – It is no longer required to disable UAC when using TVersity on Vista. TVertsity works well with UAC, and post installation, no UAC prompts will come up except when starting/stopping the sharing service.
• Vista SSDP – It is no longer required to disable the SSDP service on Vista. This allows running other media sharing applications side by side with TVersity. Additionally, the discover-ability of TVersity on the network has been improved.
• GUI – Fixed the GUI problem related to inability to connect to the sharing service (only occurred on system in which local storage was disabled for Flash player 8).
• Security – Apply latest fixes to MSVC runtime with which TVersity is linked.
• Installation Wizard – the installation process has been greatly simplified, there is no need to go through the installation screens of the configuration wizard and codec pack.
