HP MediaSmart update HPMSS-1.3-R1

My HP EX475 MediaSmart server alerted me of update HPMSS-1.3-R1.EXE. The enclosed HTML help referred to the following updates/enhancements, but remained a bit vague.

Enhanced Media Streaming with the PVConnect Add-in

"Enhanced" media streaming capability from PacketVideo. No further details.

McAfee Server Side Anti-virus Protection Add-in

Server-side anti-virus protection from McAfee (free for the first 7 months). Didn't we already get that the last time...

Windows Vista 64-bit compatibility

The HP website mentions that this is a "preparation" for 64-bit compatibility. The server HTML help only mentions the client software.

Fixes/enhancements

• Online User’s Guide enhancements which correspond to HP MediaSmart Server software changes.
• Improvements to the French and Spanish online User’s Guide.
• Modifications to Photo Webshare: improved image quality, better handling of daylight savings time, minor improvements to user work flows.
• Correct error messages displayed using SSL and TZO certificates. [1]
• Remove temperature sensor displays. [1]
• Improved Control Center performance in certain situations.

I can't say that HP is very forthcoming with details as to what this update exactly does to your server.

The update brought the server from 1.3.6.21622 to 1.3.8.25155.

One of the undocumented "fixes" was the removal of the system temperature. The reading was incorrect on many systems so I can only assume they could not fix it (it worked for me).

Another undocumented change is the fact that you can apparently roll back the last update.
