Il lavoro in casa MediaPortal non si ferma mai, solo qualche mese fa (Aprile) veniva rilasciata la versione 1.0.1.
Per chi si fosse “sintonizzato” per la prima volta, MediaPortal è un interessante programma Open Source in grado di trasformare un comunissimo PC basato su Windows (dotato di una scheda TV) in una vero centro di intrattenimento, attraverso cui poter fruire video, musica, TV, immagini e tanto altro.
Oggi parliamo di una versione beta dall’aspetto molto solido, che cerca di traghettare MediaPortal alla versione 2.0 (che allo stato attuale non implementa il modulo TV), portando numerose migliorie alla versione precedente:
- 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
