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 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! xnappo
