Over the weekend I uploaded a new version of Whiist that fixes an issue with Power Pack 1 for Windows Home Server, and the remaining issue with the HP Media Smart Server.
The Power Pack 1 issue was due to the use of an undocumented (oops!) interface that was removed in PP1. Thanks to Brendan for pointing that out to me.
The HP Media Smart Server issue was caused by Whiist not preserving some HP-specific markup stored in the XML file which controls the list of website links of the public / private homepages.
The HP fix has been tested by several volunteers for a few weeks now without any sign of problems. I’ve removed the warning relating to the MSS from the Whiist homepage, however please note that Whiist still remains beta software.
Aside from these two changes, and some minor bug fixes, this release is identical to the previous 0.80 release. I know it’s been a while, but stay tuned for a proper new release soon

Hi, Andrew,
So glad that you have identified and fixed the issues related to Whiist on the HP MediaSmart Server.
It would be much appreciated by all of us if you could post the new version of the add-in on the MediaSmartHome.com add-ins site. I’m sure many folks will be looking for it there.
Thanks!

Andrew, neat addin, I have been playing with this today.
Can I suggest a change to the section in album.ashx that gets the date used for sorting the thumbnails, so that you use TAG_DATETIME_ORIGINAL rather than TAG_DATETIME. I would suggest that most people would want to see the photos in the order they were taken, however TAG_DATETIME will be updated if for example a photo is rotated.
I have manually edited album.ashx and it seems to work OK, although there may be other places that need editing.

Hey! Any way to intergrate PHP and MySQL into IIS on WHS? I used to use WampServer before I installed WHS on my comp since it has everything in a nice package.
