Up to now, it has only been possible to obtain this information when you actually play a file. This information can be displayed by MediaPortal. We use a code library called MediaInfo to obtain certain information about video files when you play them. MediaPortal can now wake your server if it is in sleep mode and you want to access your files.Īdd MediaInfo For Files in the Background The installer correctly detects the installed version, and only offers to install these if a newer version is available. You probably have the LAV Filters package installed to get the best quality playback of most video files, and TitanExtended installed to provide skin files for your plugins. TV recording thumbs and comskip markers were not properly shown in the TV and Video Info OSDs. 1.7 Pre Release compatible plugins will still work fine with this release. This will make things more stable and easier to fix/improve in future.Īttention: This change made us 'bump' the plugin subsystems, so there is a chance you need an updated plugin to be compatible with the 1.7.0 Release. We can't carry on like that, so the plugins are now in their own self-contained files. Also, making a change to one plugin often resulted in another plugin developing a new bug. This means that a lot of code has been loaded that isn't always needed. Since MediaPortal started, the core plugins (My Videos, My Music, My Pictures, etc.) have been stored in a single file called WindowsPlugins.dll. Separate the WindowsPlugins to individual files We have already been testing a home screen editor entirely within the MediaPortal GUI. Skin designers are going to be doing some amazing things with them in the near future. Skin Settings and Expressions are really powerful. Many of the changes in this release are things that you might not notice at first, but they are designed to improve the stability of MediaPortal moving forwards for the next few releases. Please report any problems in the bug reporting sections of the forum. This release includes a number of new features and bug fixes. We are very happy to present you the final version of MediaPortal 1.7.0 today. Dit zijn de belangrijkste veranderingen in deze uitgave: MediaPortal 1.7.0 Final Door middel van plug-ins en extensies kan de functionaliteit worden uitgebreid en kan de look & feel van het programma worden aangepast. Ook kunnen tv-programma's worden opgenomen. Zo kan op een eenvoudige manier naar radio en muziek worden geluisterd, en naar video's en dvd's worden gekeken. Met dit programma kan een Windows-machine als hart van de multimediahardware in de huiskamer worden gebruikt. Terwijl het werk aan MediaPortal 2.0 gestaag vordert, is er een nieuwe stabiele release uit de 1.x-serie verschenen.
