We recommend this driver is only used on modern processors (XP3/6/8s) as it requires a fair amount of CPU grunt to perform its magic.
Version 1.5: Added support for unicode album/artist/title/genre names.
Version 1.6: Added multiple end point support (views).
Version 1.7: Added dynamic keyboard support.
Version 2.0: Added iTunes id decoding, making coverart much more likely to match what the ATV is showing.
Version 2.1: Fixed coverart for Airplay. Available here
