I can't seem to get ML to remember my manual exposure settings, or the auto exposure override.
Not implemented yet.

I can't help feeling that the manual control firmware from Alex is quite unstable. If I press the Erase button in movie mode or in Live View, the ML menu doesn't show until I press the menu button (then it shows about a half of a second after the Canon menu flickers) or zoom in button for example. It then still behaves strangely sometimes and the menu is reopened only if I quit Live View enter it again (when it may be shown right after entering live view, the mirror goes up just after I close the ML menu) or I am not able to close it.

As you can see, I'm only developing based on feedback from other users (I don't have a 500D). Many user interface issues are 500D-specific and can only be fixed by someone who has this camera.

Quote
Another thing that I can notice is that the zebras in live view respect the 16:9 top and bottom borders used only in movie mode, which is wrong in live view that shoots 3:2 and it starts 1px below the top border (there's 1px high space between zebras and the top border, but t doesn't overdraw the bottom one - maybe the bottom border overrides zebras?).

In recent cameras, the screen is 3:2, so the top and bottom bars have to be somewhere. I prefer to have simpler code, so drawing zebras in 16:9 frame is pretty safe.

I don't understand the issue with that 1px.

Quote
Also, the AF frame isn't hidden in neither movie mode nor live view and when going from live view to a remapped movie mode (A-DEP in my case), it shows A-DEP mode instead of movie mode and I have to press the Q button that causes showing of the normal shooting display for A-DEP mode (outside of live view) for about 4 seconds and then movie mode is automatically turned on.
Show me.

Quote
Also the histogram isn't shown in any of the two modes - the last histogram frame is drawn over the table after exiting movie/lv mode (again, it is not drawn there every time).
Canon histogram or ML histogram? Does this camera have a table? How it looks like?

Quote
Another strange behaviour that I have also seen in previous ML versions is, that if I press the menu button when viewing images and then do it again so that the ML menu disappears, it shows the viewed picture overdrawn with LV features (zebras, histogram, spotmeter - no audio meter or bottom bar).
That's a feature.

Quote
I have also discovered that it takes a lot of time to show the Canon zoom using zoom in button in movie mode. I think it might be because of the priority changes.
Try an autoexec compiled before the priority changes.

In "Display" menu.

focus peak is a way stretched on the vertical.
Found and fixed.

I'm not experiencing any of these things, only a minor thing when switching from live view to remapped video mode(A-dep). Then the screen goes black. Going into canon menu and back fixes it

Update: when recording the Magic Zoom works fine, unless you want to turn it off. For example, when having it to be activated by focusing and the + button,  can start with MZ off, focus-> activating MZ, but not being able to turn it off. It's also flickering a bit when starting the record.

Well, what I have ment by the "table" is the normal camera display when shooting showing shutter, aperture, iso, wb, shooting mode, af mode, ... in what regards the zebras, they start 1px below the top border so there's one row of the live view (of 1px height) where the zebras aren't drawn as if they were shifted 1px lower.

I'll take a look at the other points sometime later when I have the time.

This autoexec should remember manual exposure settings.

I can't really test it myself, because 500D and 550D behave in different ways in auto movie mode.
