It's here and it's released and..... free to the community.

 

To download this theme, simply go into MediaBrowser Classic Main Config, find the plugins tab along the top, go to the plugin catalogue, find Xenon and install.  Restart MBC and select Xenon from the Theme Options tab and you are good to go.

 

The theme was the original brainchild of myself and BAS where the whole concept was to work well with 360 Extenders which in turn actually means that on any PC it will be extremely fast for navigation, fluid and very stable.

 

Xenon brings some non standard functions to MBC 

 

1. Upcoming TV - This allows you to view when future episodes of any of your TV Shows will be next aired

2. Next Up - This will display the next episode you need to watch in any of the TV Shows you are currently watching

3. Actor Bio's - Shows Actor information such as age, birthdate, birthplace and biography.

 

Shaefurr's Disparity images work amazing with Xenon - Linky Here

 

Bug Tracker can be found here

 

Here are quite a few images to wet the appetite including Disparity backdrop images

Critical Fixes 
----------------

2.  if global option to show backdrop was disabled, selecting a couple of options were not enabled.  
3.  Music Video's had no details on the final detail page.  
4.  Moved the Backdrop Alpha to Folder Options (this is still a global setting).  
5.  Next Up now shows Top Level Thumb images if Season Thumbs are not available.

1.0.0.15 - NEW FEATURE TO MBC - SHORTLIST

----------------------------------------------------------------

 

The New Shortlist feature, only available in Xenon allows you to pick and chose content via the Context Menu (Asterix * Key) and Add or Remove Items from your newly created shortlist. 

 

It means that you can select Movies throughout any of your collections and add them to a seperate list, for those times when it's difficult to decide what move to watch.

 

This is the initial release and there is a lot more to come from this feature, however at the moment there is great functionality.

 

Here's some Screenies to wet the appetite!!

 

Enjoy

 

Pressing * on your remote or keyboard brings up the context menu and now allows you to add/remove items from the Shortlist

Once you have chosen some movies, you need to click on the Shortlist Icon in the Config Panel at the Top Right Corner

View your Shortlist

and if you wish to remove items from it, simply press the * Key and select Remove from Shortlist Option

The Shortlist Resets itself if you exit MBC.
