XBMB3C - The MediaBrowser XBMC addon - Version 0.7.5 release!
I am happy to announce the release of XBMB3C version 0.7.5!
You can find the AddOn in the official XBMC repo.
This version has seen a lot of big changes since the last official version 0.6.5.
Many of these improvements are due to the addition of another developer to the project - null_pointer - so please get him a virtual beer and some up-votes!
Below are the changes since 0.6.5:
-
Removed local image copying - new image proxy service by Null_Pointer!
-
NOTE: You can delete the .png files in addon_data!
[*]Switched all data from XML to JSON
-
NOTE: If you have added nodes to your main menu, you will need to redo them
[*]Added local data cache (null_pointer)
[*]Added New Movies/New Episodes list for use by skins (null_pointer)
[*]Added Confluence skin mods (null_pointer)
[*]Make using Series art for episodes an option
[*]Fixed crash in latest episodes when a 'special' is present
[*]Fixed DVD playback
[*]Changed 'Play All From Here' to start from current episode
[*]Added simplejson/json switch (try this if you are running on a low-power platform - ie Pi)
[*]Added preliminary transcoding support
[*]Added preliminary music support (plays, needs work on metadata)
[*]Fixed bug with non-ASCII characters in collection name
[*]Gracefully handle username not specified

NOTE: You can delete the .png files in addon_data!
Here are instructions on how to modify Confluence to use MB3 instead of the XBMC database:
-
Grab the files from the /skin_diffs/skin.confluence/720p dir and drop them into the confluence skin dir in the 720p folder, keep a backup of your originals first.
-
Launch the AddOn and add the sections you would like to show up on your home screen to 'Favorites'
-
Modify example menu entries in Home.xml (search for mb3), you will need to update the <action> to point to the addon section you want - reference 'favorites.xml' for this path.
If that sounds like a lot of hacking - not to worry - we are working on making this automated for the next release!
