Update since AIW Player 0.66:

Project AIW Player has been renamed to Star Media Center. The version numbering system will remain the same.

Added features:
- Added the multiview feature (you can view 2 videos on the same video window - for example you can view a video file and a tv channel at the same time. You can also use transparancy effects).
- Completley rewritten the chat communication module. Now Star Media Center works with Star Remote Chat 0.34 or newer and supports both win32 or linux versions of Star Remote Chat.
- Broadcasting mode no longer creates an empty 0 bytes file. Also, you can start and stop saving the broadcast content to the harddisk by pressing Play or Stop when in broadcasting mode.
- Broadcasting mode now displays the size of the file beeing saved on the harddisk.
- Broadcasting menuitem is now always visible.
- Better Windows XP graphical interface support.
- Added the autodesktop feature (the program will automatically start in desktop mode if this is checked).
- Added the Auto Hide Subtitles feature (Star Media Center will automatically hide subtitles if this option is checked).

Fixed bugs:
- Greatly optimized the memory handling module.
- Enhanced the debugging mode. Now Star Media Center outputs 2 files when this mode is activated (dev.txt and graph.log).
- Fixed long broadcasting mode shutdowns and freezes.
- Fixed paus and stop when in Custom mode.
- Fixed some issues with the keyboard shortcuts.
- Fixed some issues with the autorun and updated it to the new SMC Components version.
- Fixed an issue that occured when double clicking the system tray icon.
- Fixed some issues with the Control Panel.
- Fixed an issue with the volume beeing pushed up to maximum when starting TV mode.
- Fixed some issues related to the Star Media Center startup.

Any chance you could add support for Digital TV cards like ProgDVB does?
