0.2.0.0 Release news!

There are going to be three releases for version 0.2.0.0, mainly because Master Frodo is taking a well earned month off to venture down-under to Australia. So  there will be a pre-release on the 2nd of September then another on the 22nd of  October with an aim to release on the 5th of November.

Note: The 2nd of September release will not have all of the features listed  below... After the 22nd of October release we will be happy to take CVS snapshot  bugs in the forum provided the poster deletes the bug after he or she has  determined with a subsequent CVS update that the bug no longer exists. When  posting please use the date and time stamp for the CVS build.

We have a lot more on the list for MyRadio & MyMusic but we are short of  developers, remember if you're handy with C# then...

MediaPortal WANTS YOU!

There are some new enhancements in CVS to date that I can tell you of... Add a  .m3u or .pls playlist file into your Pictures folder and whenever you browse  those photo's the music in the playlist will play provided the playlist is  called 'folder.m3u' or 'folder.pls' You can now press F3 in the MyPrograms GUI  with ROMs to get All Games selection, game-data & thumbs etc. A bug launching  OpenGL games when MediaPortal was always on top has been fixed. You can now have a pre-lauch and post launch batch job assigned to the run before a game is started to allow you to say mount and CD image using Daemon-Tools.
