MediaPortal 1.2.2 RELEASED!
Written by infinite.loop | 23 December 2011

1.2.2 is the first MediaPortal release which was developed using GIT. The learning curve is very steep, but the benefits are great!

We are very happy to present you this new release which focus is to increase the stability of MediaPortal 1.2.

Partial Changelog:
3772 - Weather plugin unable to get data
Sadly the Weather Channel disabled the free access to their API. This means that MediaPortal (among many other free applications) is no longer able to get data. Unfortunately the is no quick fix for this problem which we could add into an 1.2.x hotfix. A complete rework of the weather plugin is planned for 1.3.0.
In the meantime, there are other weather plugins available in our Repository. World Weather and BBC Weather seem to be good choices.
3746 - DaemonTools won't unmount an iso file and crash MediaPortal
3760 - Playback of Multi File Cue Sheets starts at wrong position
3740 - #play.next.duration in wrong format
3775 - WindowPluginBase incorrectly sets GuiProperties when it is not the ActiveWindow
3752 - Cyberlink PDVD (DXVA/HAM/SW) codec version 10/11 are not available in codec configuration
3711 - Watchdog does not restore taskbar after a crash of MediaPortal
3684 - Fixed logging which would write the users database connection login details into the error.log in case of an unavailable SQL-Server
3713 - TV-Server tries to tune a channel, even if it knows that it is unavailable
3372 - it is not possible to resume playback of recorded radio
3683 - TV Guide does not always display correctly if there are multiple channel groups


HomeOfficial MP NewsMediaPortal 1.2.1 RELEASED!
MediaPortal 1.2.1 RELEASED!

Written by infinite.loop | 26 September 2011

Last week we released 1.2.0 final which has been a huge success already! The Team could have taken a break after the hard work on 1.2.0, and relax a bit, but we did not. Smile

During the last week we have been working on a 1.2.1 hot fix, that will address a few issues in 1.2.0. The focus of this release is on major issues. The hot fixes to come later will contain more fixes and also address some minor issues.
Changelog:

3715 - MediaPortal crashes on exit
Under some circumstances it is possible that MediaPortal.exe crashes when you close it. Mainly systems running for a very long time are affected.
3688 - scanning for analog radio stations makes TV-Guide unusable
3718 - under special circumstances, TV-Service will crash on start up
This occurs if the WMC plugin for the Hauppauge Colossus or HD-PVR is installed.
3720 - update of satellite transponders inside TV-Server Configuration is not working
We previously grabbed the transponder lists directly from the FastSatfinder.com website. Due to load issues this cause for FastSatfinder.com, this is no longer possible, and when you attempt to update them in 1.2.0 or ealier, all your transponder lists are deleted.
The team from fastsatfinder has kindly agreed to continue support for us with updated transponder lists which we will host on our own web servers. So 1.2.1 will now download the transponder lists directly from our server.
1.2.1 has the latest Transponder lists integrated.
3723 - default graph behaviour for TV-Cards entering idle state is "pause" instead of "stop"
In 1.2.0 we introduced a new feature that can decrease the time required to tune/change channels by not destroying the graph when the card enters idle state. The related "Advanced Tuning" options are "pause" (keep the graph) and "stop" (destroy the graph). Sadly, during a clean installation of 1.2.0, the default option was set to "pause". Although the "pause" option does give you the speed improvement, it is not supported by many TV-cards (drivers issue). Thus, in 1.2.1 the safer "stop" option is now set as the default. If you did a clean installation of 1.2.0 and now upgrade to 1.2.1, the current setting will change to "stop" for all your TV-Cards. This should ensure maximum stability for all users. If you want to use "pause" instead of "stop", then you have to reset that option in TV-Server Configuration.

MediaPortal 1.2.0 final RELEASED!

Written by infinite.loop | 19 September 2011

With more than 650 changes, MediaPortal 1.2.0 is one of the biggest and exciting releases we have ever done!

Due to the huge amount of bug fixes, new features, tweaks and enhancements I can only highlight a few in this news.
New Design

With MediaPortal 1.2.0 we introduce a brand new look, that replaces Blue3 and Blue3wide which served us well during the last few years. We have made the Blue3/wide skin files available to the community, in case someone wishes to make it available, and maintain it, as an extension. The Team certainly hopes that this will happen.

Besides the new look, we also introduced a couple of new controls for our awesome skinners in the community, plus a brand new layout called "Coverflow" which you can see in action in the teaser video of 1.2.0.

Usability Improvements
Plugin Version Check

The biggest change in usability is our new version check for plugins. From 1.2.0 on, users will never again face the problem of having a plugin enabled which is incompatible with the installed version of MP. The issues such caused could reach from a small glitch, to random crashes of MediaPortal.

Note: If you are upgrading from 1.1.3 or earlier to 1.2.0, then none of your installed Extensions (skins & plugins) will be compatible with 1.2.0 and therefore get deactivated. To keep your downtime as short as possible we recommend to download the 1.2.0 compatible versions of the Extensions you use before you do the update. You can find updated versions of the extensions in our websites repository. If you already upgraded to 1.2.0, then you can simply launch the "MediaPortal Extensions Installer" to find, download, install and update extensions (only works if the extensions is submitted as MPE - if you want an extension to support this, then please contact the author of the extension).
Improved Interaction between Skins and Plugins

Skin designers now have many more options to integrate dynamic functionality of MediaPortal core functionality and external plugins. The skins can now dynamically apply skin expressions to react to different situation and open plugins with specific parameters. Our highly talented skinning community has already started to use this new functionality to great effect:

Replacing dedicated streaming plugins (e.g. trailers) with the equivalent OnlineVideos site (e.g. iTunes Trailers, IMDb trailers).
Submenus for different Moving Pictures/MP-TvSeries categories.
Showing a trailer from a button in movie details with OnlineVideos plugin.
Backgrounds depending on the time of day.

Music and Video View Definition Changes

Setting up and changing views for music and video was previously complicated and confusing. We have now updated the interface to make setup far more logical and allow views to be easily re-ordered.

Attention!

Because of this change any user defined views you had setup will be lost when upgrading. Hopefully we have mitigated this by replacing the default music views more in-line with those in Kiwijunglist's guide to setting up music. To learn how to use the new features, see our Wiki: Music Views 1.2.

Music Changes

The music section of MediaPortal has been given a thorough health check with lots of changes behind the scenes as well as lots of bug fixes and changes to make things more logical and consistent. There are also some new features:

Better handling of multi-disc albums.
A playlist mode.
Last.fm Love / Ban functions on music Now Playing screen.

More details can be found in an earlier blog. To learn more about the changes, see Play Music 1.2 in our Wiki.
Videos Enhancements:

Deda has taken our Videos feature to a whole new level. He has added several new features, as well as speedups and bug fixes.

These changes will upgrade your videos database. After the upgrade, the database will no longer work with older MediaPortal versions.

These changes are already fully documented on the Video Database 1.2.0 page in the Configuration section of the new wiki.

Note: Users of the FanArt Handler Extension have to wait for a new, 1.2.0 compatible version.
DVD Playback - added Closed Captioning support

Closed_captioningWe have added supported for Closed Captioning (CC) to the DVD playback.

You can learn about it's configuration and usage in our Wiki.
SMS-Style input

You now have the option to use SMS style input with your remote control, just like you know from your cell-phone.
If you want to use the standard keyboard, then you can switch the input style back to it by pressing the related button on the virtual keyboard.
Play all videos inside a folder

This is a feature many users requested for a long time. In this release we introduce the option to play all videos inside a folder with one option.
MediaPortal Configuration restructured

We have reworked the structure of MediaPortal Configuration in order to group the options more logically.
Obsolete plugins removed

We removed the following obsolete/no longer maintained plugins in 1.2.0.

Video Editor
Burner
MAME
Foobar2000

Performance
Speedup:

We made several significant changes which improve the overall responsiveness of MediaPortal. In some cases you will see response times reduced by over 50%. See if you can spot them!
Smooth Video Playback:

Owlsroost has spent the last few months on enhancing the video playback of MediaPortal. The result of his work is now part of 1.2.0. Check it out!
TV - Fast Forward

Fast Forward inside TV should now work smoothly with up to 4x playback speed, which is the maximum for Windows 7 (Note: Windows XP supports only 2x, due to it's audio renderer ). Fast Reverse will still work in a skip-step like fashion.
TV - improved Live TV in multiseat setups

1.2.0 vastly lowers the workload placed on the hard drive by live TV. This virtually eliminates the stuttering and picture corruption that was sometimes seen before on client systems while watching live TV.
TV - increased performance of channel selector

Opening and browsing through the channel selector inside TV was very slow for some users. So we increased its performance!
Image Caching option for skins

While this does not sound like much, it will dramatically decrease the loading time required to switch between various screens or sections of MediaPortal, especially for HD skins which use high resolution background images.

Skinners should take a look at this new Image Caching skin feature when updating their work for 1.2.0 compatibility.
Hauppauge Colossus TV Card Support

thumb_colossusWith this new release we introduce full support of Hauppauge's new Colossus TV card.

We want to thank our community member WileECoyote for his support, which enabled us to add this to 1.2.0.


MediaPortal 1.2.0 RC RELEASED!

Written by infinite.loop | 29 August 2011

With the release of 1.2.0 RC we have almost reached the end of the 1.2.0 development cycle. After the release of 1.2.0 Beta, we entered a 'feature freeze'. This means that in 1.2.0 RC you will find mainly bug fixes.
Notable changes since 1.2.0 Beta

With more than 150 bug fixes since the release of 1.2.0 Beta, it would be too much to list all changes here. So the following list focuses on a few highlights which we have done since the release of 1.2.0 Beta.

Find out about the changes introduced in 1.2.0 Alpha, and 1.2.0 Beta in the related news.

MediaPortal Extensions Installer (MPEI)

We have added version compatibility, as well as many other fixes, to MPEI. Now you can easily identify the extensions compatible with your installed version of MediaPortal and avoid issues due to incompatible versions.

Due to this required change, unfortunately we could not avoid that MPEI files for 1.2.0 Beta will not work with 1.2.0 RC and vice versa. This means you must wait for extension authors to provide new installers for 1.2.0 RC. Luckily it is very easy to update them. We have developed the new version of MPEI so that extension authors only need to install 1.2.0 RC, open their MPEI project file, and save it again. It will automatically update to the new version and add the required compatibility information. This new file can then be posted to install extensions for 1.2.0 RC.

If any of your favorite extensions do not yet have an installer compatible with 1.2.0 RC, you may wish to update your extensions before updating to 1.2.0 RC.

If you are running MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta, then all your installed extensions (plugins and skins) will continue to work in 1.2.0 RC! You only need the new installer for upgrades/new releases of an extension.

Navigation fix in icon view

For ages there was a issue when navigating in (big) icons layout from one row to another row with fewer items.
In some cases, MP would jump back to the first row, and thus would not display the items of the last row. This issue has been fixed.

Width of volume bar could not be skinned

We have fixed the width of the volume bar element inside the skin which was not working. If you see the volume bar inside your skin appear in a wrong size after the update, then please contact the author of your skin for an update.

Reworked Default Skins regarding comments of users

Removed analog clock in Home Screens.
Activated topbar in video and tv fullscreen.
Darkened all backgrounds and overlays by 35%.
Added current time display to pause screens.
Added show titles in all icon views.
Reduced text shadows to 1 px (formerly 4 px).

Weak signals could crash TV-service

There was a problem in the TV-Server where weak signals could crash the entire TV-Service. This has been fixed.

Reduced CPU usage of TV-Service and MediaPortal (when inside TV)

We managed to slightly reduce the CPU load of the TV-Service and MediaPortal (when inside the TV section).

Some users could not install 1.2.0 Beta

Due to a problem when registering the MPAudioSwitcher filter, the installation of 1.2.0 Beta could fail for a very limited number of users.

ffdshow DXVA video decoder could crash MediaPortal

Due to a bug inside the ffdshow DXVA video decoder, MediaPortal could crash during graph rebuilding. We took precautions in code to work around that issue inside ffdshow.

Audio and video in TV not in sync when using ffdshow video decoder

There was an issue where audio and video inside television were not in sync when using the ffdshow video decoder. This issue was fixed.

Digital Everywhere tuners could not tune some dvb-s2 transponders

Tuners from Digital Everywhere had issues when tuning dvb-s2 transponders that used high data rates.

Hauppauge Colossus HDMI inputs not usable

It was not possible to use the HDMI inputs of the Hauppauge Colossus in 1.2.0 Beta. This is now working in 1.2.0 RC.


MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta RELEASED!

Written by infinite.loop | 29 April 2011
16retweet

The release of 1.2.0 beta is a big milestone in the MP 1.2.0 development cycle. During its development we had to make a few tough decisions, which ultimately resulted in a lot of work and delays, yet also brought MP1 to a completely new level of usability.
Notable Changes since 1.2.0 alpha

It would be too much to list all changes between 1.1.0 and 1.2.0. So the following list will focus on what happened since the release of 1.2.0 Alpha.

Find out about the changes introduced in 1.2.0 Alpha in this separate news.
Usability Changes
Plugin Version Check

The biggest change in usability is our new version check for plugins. From 1.2.0 beta on, users will never again face the problem of having a plugin enabled which is incompatible with the installed version of MP.

Attention!

Because of this change, none of your currently installed plugins will work with 1.2.0 beta. They will all get disabled and appear in a new section in the Configuration Tool: Incompatible Plugins. Please refer to the developers of the plugins you use for compatible versions.
The MediaPortal Extenstion Installer (MPEI) will be updated in beta2/RC1 of 1.2.0 to automatically incorporate the version information into the .mpe2 file. So plugin developers just have to re-save their MPEI package (if the plugin is already compatible).

Music and Video View Definition Changes

Setting up and changing views for music and video was previously complicated and confusing. We have now updated the interface to make setup far more logical and allow views to be easily re-ordered.

MediaPortal 1.1.3 hotfix for W7 SP1 released

Written by infinite.loop | 23 February 2011
retweet

This week Microsoft released the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.

Besides many security fixes, and changes which are provided by Windows Update allready, it also includes many fixes which were not available through Windows Update, such as an fix for a issue with audiodevices connected by HDMI.

Team MediaPortal recommends the installation of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 on your HTPC.

For MediaPortal 1 this means that we have to release a very small hotfix, because with MediaPortal 1.1.2 and earlier versions, you will encounter a warning that you run MediaPortal on an not supported Operating System, as soon as you install the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.

If you are not using Windows 7, then an upgrade to MediaPortal 1.1.3 is not required.


MediaPortal 1.1.2 released!

While the development of MediaPortal 1.2.0 progresses better than expected, we continue to maintain MediaPortal 1.1.x with this new 1.1.2 hot fix release.

This release fixes a memory leak which was present in the 1.1.1 version, along with a few other issues.

We hope that you enjoy this new release.· We would be grateful if you could support us with a small donation...
Please recommend us on Sourceforge!

List of changes:

* 0003196: [Skin Engine] Memory Leak in Texture Manager
* 0003065: [TvServer] Spawned processes pop-up hidden "Run as..." dialog
* 0002926: [TvPlugin] No instant switch to prev/next channel after resuming a paused live TV


MediaPortal 1.2.0 Alpha RELEASED!

Written by infinite.loop | 01 November 2010

With MediaPortal 1.2.0 we have a new exiting major release in the works.

With this first Alpha release you can take a glimpse at what is to come in 1.2.0.

While we hope that as many users as possible test this new version, we wish to stress that due to the massive changes, using this version on a production system is not recommended.
New Skin Engine Features:

We added some very nice new features to the skin engine. However, some of these changes do require that skins are updated to work properly with 1.2.0.

The list of skin related changes between 1.1.x and 1.2.0 can be found on the related wiki pages in our new wiki. Although the new wiki is not quite ready for public beta testing, we wanted to provide our skin designers and testers advanced access to the updated documentation for the 1.2.0 alpha release.

There is no need to register or login to browse our new wiki since it is only available for browsing at present.· We will be issuing a news release about the wiki once it is ready for public beta test.

Skin designers should keep track of the new wiki pages regarding any additions we make as we are still in the process of documenting the many new skin features.
Videos Enhancements:

Deda has taken our Videos feature to a whole new level. He has added several new features, as well as speedups and bug fixes.

These changes will upgrade your videos database. After the upgrade, the database will no longer work with older MediaPortal versions. This is an important consideration when testing 1.2.0 Alpha.

These changes are already fully documented on the Video Database 1.2.0 page in the Configuration section of the new wiki.

Note: Users of the FanArt Handler Extension have to wait for a new, 1.2.0 compatible version.

MediaPortal 1.1.0 Final RELEASED!
Written by infinite.loop, on 23-07-2010

The development of MediaPortal was a long and bumpy road, but the destination was well worth it. Thanks to our great community, who submitted many bug reports and code patches to fix bugs, we now are able to present you MediaPortal 1.1.0 - the best release in our six year history.

MediaPortal- 1.1.0(Released 2010-07-23) [ View Issues ]
=========================================
- 0002952: [general] Change logverbosity to "info" for the 1.1.0 final version (chemelli) - closed.
- 0002949: [Skin Engine] Reinstate the skin version check for MP 1.1.0 and increase the skinversion in references.xml (chemelli) - closed.
- 0002967: [general] Update MediaInfo to 0.7.34 (chemelli) - closed.

MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC6 RELEASED!
Written by infinite.loop, on 01-07-2010

RC5 was planned to be the last Release Candidate for MediaPortal 1.1.0 final.

However, the fix of a major issue related to the detection of a timeshift buffer file being video or radio makes us believe that a big field test is required to ensure that 1.1.0 final will be the most stable release in MediaPortal´s six year history.

If all goes according to plan, then this "slide-in" RC6 release will not delay the final version of 1.1.0, which is planned for release around the 16th of July.

We need the help of our great community to ensure the fix does not cause any unwanted side effects.

RC6 is as close to the final release as it can get.

Changes since 1.1.0 RC5:

* 0002953: [fixed] Some TS files are wrongly detected as video/radio
* 0002883: [fixed] Pulse and Loop animations do not work because conditional animations do not work
* 0002950: [fixed] Video thumbnails are not being generated and do not display in RC5
* 0002802: [fixed] B3 skin does not show recorded TV thumbs in list views

We also want to remind Skin Designers to review the list of Skin Changes since 1.0.1 - while Plugin Developers should take a look at the newly created Code Changes page.

There were some changes done since the last stable release which require Extensions (Skins and Plugins) to be updated so they get fully compatible with 1.1.0 RC6.

RC5 focuses on the last remaining, showstopper issues. If no new showstoppers are found in this release, then MediaPortal 1.1.0 final will follow in a few weeks.

Important changes since 1.1.0 RC4:

* [fixed] 0002936: MPC-HC subtitle engine is not working with MPC splitters
* [fixed] 0002919: Timeshift repeating on channel change
* [fixed] 0002940: Starting/stopping a current program recording gives an exception

Skin Designers should review the list of Skin Changes since 1.0.1 - while Plugin Developers should take a look at the newly created Code Changes page.
There were some changes done since the last stable release which require Extensions (Skins and Plugins) to update, to be fully 1.1.0 RC5 compatible.

The team would like to thank everyone who submitted patches and great bug reports!


MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC4 RELEASED!
Written by infinityloop, on 27-05-2010

We decided to release 1.1.0 RC4 earlier than planned, to give us more time to test a few changes we have done.

The most important fix is about the issue some users experienced where the installer was not able to stop the TV Service properly.
This resulted in the problem that the new version could not be installed and the TV-Server failed.

Important changes since 1.1.0 RC3:

* [fixed] IMDB grabber script was broken - use the "update grabber scripts" button in MediaPortal Configuration if you upgrade from a previous version of MP!
* [fixed] installation of TV-Server failed in a few cases because TV-Service could not be stopped
* [fixed] RSS plugin did not work
* [fixed] installation of an MediaPortal Extension might fail
* [fixed] Various tuning problems with DVB-T cards

Skin Designers should review the list of Skin Changes since 1.0.1 - while Plugin Developers should take a look at the newly created Code Changes page.

MediaPortal 1.1.0 BETA 1 - Released!
Written by team-mediaportal, on 29-08-2009

As you might know our original plan was to release the RC1 of MediaPortal 1.1.0. next. Due to the deep changes we did during the last few weeks, and the yet unresolved tasks, we decided that it would be wise to release a BETA 1 today instead of the RC1.

We do that with the ulterior motive to ensure that MediaPortal 1.1.0 will be the most stable and feature complete release in our long history.

Major changes in this BETA are:

* WebEPG is now included as a plugin for TV-Server
* RTSP Streaming IP can be changed in TV-Server configuration
(This is useful if the default port is in use by any other application.)
* New OSD's have been slightly reworked and finished
* TV-Server configuration has been reworked in some areas to enhance the usability, like new tuningformats and simplified scan dialog
* Options have been added to TV-Server and MediaPortal Configuration to allow to disable and enable Microsoft MediaCenter Services
(This is required for TV-Server and Microsoft MCE Remote to work properly.)
* Various memory leaks have been fixed in MediaPortal
* Various fixes for the Topbar in MediaPortal
* Improved Windows 7 compatibillity
* Solved problems caused by IPv6 in TV-Server (only IPv4 is supported!)
* Added dvb-s2 support for ProfRed Cards
* Added CI menu support for Twinhan/Terratec cards
* Improved TV error handling for better user experience
* CI menu and messages are automatically enabled now
* A few more features have been added to the SkinEngine
* Audio seek with different speeds for BASS player
* E-AC3 / DD+ audio stream type support for TV

MediaPortal 1.0 RC4 RELEASED

Today we are proud to announce the release of MediaPortal 1.0 RC4.

So what's the current development progress ?

The development of MediaPortal 1.0 is going extremely well and the latest svn revision is working very nicely.

The wide version of our new default skin named Blue3 is nearly finished and only needs some final polishing to which everyone
can contribute by testing it.

As a result this release candidate will closely represent the final version of MediaPortal 1.0.

When will MediaPortal 1.0 final be released?

This is the most exciting part of the news...

We will follow our "tradition" and release MediaPortal 1.0 final before Christmas 2008!


MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 RELEASED

As promised in the previous news, we are releasing MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 today.
Before you scroll down to the end of the page to get your hands on the download, we would like you to read the following lines as they contain some important information regarding this release!

Bugfixes

Since the last release our team was able to eliminate a lot of bugs in MediaPortal, TV-Server, Deploytool and the NSIS-installers.

Again, the great support from the community made this possible.
Special thanks to the users that took some time to test issues and create proper bug reports by following the Support and Bugreport guideline.

During the last testing period minor and major issues were reported. Sadly we have a few bugs in our current applications which we can not fix for the 1.0 release, because the potential fix would be so risky that it could cause a lot of other bugs.
This is one of the downsides of the current architecture, which we will get rid of in MediaPortal 2.
If you are interested in the list of currently known issues and for which version the fix is targeted, please take a look at the roadmaps of MediaPortal, TV-Server and the Deploytool.


A new Style!

We are very happy to announce that with MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 we release the first version of the new default skin named Blue3.
It's a completely redesigned skin which features some new and very cool animations, which were added to the SkinEngine recently.
In MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 "only" the 4:3 version of Blue3 is included. But we've already started with the "wide" (16:9) version which will be part of the untested weekly svn builds soon.

In MediaPortal 1.0 RC3 the "old" skins Blue2 and Blue2wide are still included, but they will be fully replaced by Blue3 and Blue3wide when finished.

MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC3 released!
Written by infinityloop, on 16-10-2007 15:12

Here it is! The (hopefully) last Release Candidate on our road to your ultimative HTPC experience - grab MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC3 while it is hot! Recently some bigger code changes were needed to get rid of limititations we couldn't bear any longer.Therefore we decided to throw out another Pre-Release.

One of the fundamental changes is our switch to NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). NSIS gives us more flexibility creating advanced installers which will allow a lot of customisation. With the RC3 release we mainly want to make sure that this new installer is working nicely.

Further changes have been done mainly to the music section which database is almost a complete rewrite. Inspired by MeediOS we simplified the database layout but also improved its performance. And when you're done with scanning your music shares you might enjoy the new grabber for artist images and album covers which has been added to the audioscrobbler plugin.

We are already curious about your experience. If your feedback is mostly positive then the MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 final version will be released quite soon.


MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC2 released!
Written by infinityloop, on 03-09-2007 14:25

We are proud to announce the release of MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 RC2.

Our main focus has been on stability and bugfixing. But we've also added some nice "presents" for you in this release.

Please click at the 'read full article' link.

The list of changes since the RC1 release is very long. Below you find a short list of the "most important" changes.
What is new:



MediaPortal TestTool

We all know that testing and bug reporting is a time consuming task. However your bug reports are the the only way for us to find and fix issues in the current code. We now tried to make the bug reporting easier for the enduser by integrating the MPTestTool. The TestTool acts as a log collector and exporter. So you no longer have to "search" for your log files. They get exported into one zip file with one mouse click. ::read more::



MediaPortal Installer (MPI)

With the MPI installing new skins or plugins is really easy. In the final version you will be able to simply browse through a list of available community skins and plugins, and then dowload and install them with one mouse click. Currently you have to manually download the mpi files from the repository . You can find out more about MPI ::here:: and ::here::

Tag Reader

Since we had quite some issues with the "old" tag reader, we replaced it with a new one. Pre-testing has shown that it works way better then the old one. If you encounter issues please start a bug report.

Start MediaPortal on the secondary screen

A long awaited feature by the MP community was to start MP on the secondary screen so that you can continue your work on the first screen. Thanks to piba it is now very simple to use MP this way. Check out the new options in the configuration program. More info can be found here.

MediaPortal 0.2.2.0 released
Written by rtv
You're on christmas holiday and need a rest? Team MediaPortal has a gift for you!

This release contains many features which weren't included in the 0.2.1.0 Version because we wanted them to be more mature and stable.

From now on svn updates can only be used with this build!

Click on read more to see a list of important changes.

TV Movie Clickfinder 5.2 users, please see this post. A small bug crept into the release in the last minutes.

Changes:

- Many GUI and skin improvements for more smoothness including some nice animations. (new recorded tv look, changed font, "watched" status, ...)

- New thumbnail handling with configurable quality & size options. Relying on locally cached thumbs MP should work much smoother especially in the music part.

- A completely re-written Home-Menu-Control offering skinners more flexibility.

- A completely re-written Powerscheduler - being fully event driven now.

- Music visualization support via MP's bass engine. Use lots of free Sonique visualizations with MediaPortal!

- The new lightning fast music tagreader supporting many more filetypes and tag fields.

- A Last.fm radio stream plugin allowing to listen to your personal radio, love, ban or even skip tracks! (Audioscrobbler plugin needed)

- BASS supports Steinberg VST and Winamp plugins (experimental!)

- More easily sort your TV channels like you're used to with music playlists

- The Sudoku game has a highscore mode now

- Many fixes to bring the MyBurner plugin up to date - including DVD support

- A Dreambox TV plugin including its EPG

- Clickfinder supports the new 5.2 release (pls set "usedatabasedate" to >yes<)

- Some Web-EPG grabbers have been added / improved

- New autocropper plugin based on live picture with subtitle support

- Ability to deactivate unnecessary zoom modes


MediaPortal 0.2.1.0 Feature Release
Written by rtv
Saturday, 21 October 2006

Finally it's there! 0.2.1.0 released on Oct 21th!
We couldn't let you wait until Helloween, so here it is!

Integrating the last plugins like "My MusicVideos", "WikiPedia" and the totally revamped "Playing now" screen into the next stable patch I came to a point where a major re-sync with svn was needed. This is why we needed to test more thoroughly and call this a "feature release" and not a stable update.

Working on this release was a nice team experience as we decided to include a widescreen mod of BlueTwo - and got it ready in just 2 weeks! Special thanks go to:

* mPod for doing so much "under the hood work"; he e.g. wrote a skin converter to change all skin xml files to a desired resolution.
* Inker for upscaling most gfx to 1366x768.
* mofux for his sexy new OSD files and all those mockups
* Harley for helping with TV skin files
* Boilermaker who has done all this work on his own for the former B2 16:9 skin!

This skin is 100% identical to B2 4:3 and therefore fully supported with every new feature. "Dark lovers" should check out Harley's Project Mayhem 3 skin which is also up to date for this release.

There are looots of other changes and fixes of people who deserve a big "thank you" but I don't want to bore you - just drop by on IRC or the forums and remember we're doing this in our spare time.

Download the new release here.

Please note: This release does not contain a new skin engine nor the new TV engine. Those will follow in later releases.

A changelog will follow.
