Software update: MediaPortal 1.20

A new stable release from MediaPortal’s 1.x series has been released. With this program, a Windows machine can be used as the heart of the multimedia hardware in the living room. This makes it easy to listen to radio and music, as well as watch videos and DVDs. TV programs can also be recorded. By means of plug-ins and extensions, the functionality can be expanded and the look & feel of the program can be adjusted. Here are the main changes in this release:

Bug fixes:

• We fixed some issues with MadVR
• We fixed the issue where folder.jpg doesn’t work properly with multiple subfolders
• We fixed the bug that crept into the MediaPortal 1.20 pre-release which led to running radio streams could not be stopped.

New:
We added new functions in the following areas:

• MediaInfoWrapper – Remove VideoResolution skin dependence
• MyVideo Update UserGruops with rule after movie watched status changed
• MyVideo – Database View – Add the ability to delete video files from GUI
• Add #iswatched property to recorded TV **
• PIN protection for channel handling inside TV client
• Rework watched status of recordings **
• Rework MyVideo resets watched status **

** With these new functions you get a display of watched status/watched percentage in TV/Radio recordings (similiar as in MyVideos). Additionally, you may even reset the watched count to 0 (zero) if wanted. The skin DefaultWideHD already contains the necessary skin changes.Along with the above items we kept consolidating our software.

Note:

For use Bluray with BD-J support, Java 8 must be installed. We recommend the version Java 8u151 in x86 version. Download Link: Oracle Download Website
