· new ini external.url= Used for pushes to external tivos. Should look like http://192.168.1.2:7290/streambaby/
· Small optimization to mp4 code. Exponential speed increase in reinterleaving
· added -Dxxxxx to force java to use ipv4
· Pass-through 64bit co64 atoms
· Add support for co64 atoms
· Adjusted size of HD selection screen so CHANNEL_DOWN moves to last entry on current page (usual TiVo behavior)
· Integrated Cahoon's MP4 splitting code
· Added interleaving to java-based MP4 splitting code
· Added itunes metadata support to Cahoon's mp4 parsing
· Removed iso-parser MP4 parsing library from libs, and changed MP4 metadata code to use the new mp4 parsing code
· New config option. java.mp4slit (default=true) to use Cahoon's java based MP4splitter vs old C-port of mp4 splitter
· Changed MP4 handling of avc1&avcC atom. No longer assume avc1 is a container, but do assume avcC is located immediately after avc1 data
· Added code to mp4 parsing to skip extra data in container atoms (so if remaining size < min atom size, just skip)
· Changed hashing algorithm for cached previews (mostly so DVD VOB files don't conflict) Should be backwards compatabile
· Still will be hash collision problem if for DVD VOB's in same directory. Example if all dvd's are mounted in /mnt/iso/VIDEO_TS/XXXX.VOB

What's new in StreamBaby 0.22 Beta:

· INI entry sort.filename= (default false). If true, streambaby will sort entries in the selection screen by filename instead of metadata title
· Switch to current jmdns from sourceforge
