[high]

We've just finished the final 1.16.0 release of MediaPortal 1.

Highlights of this release

• MediaPortal now supports BD-J
  Blu-ray Disc Java (BD-J) allows bonus content on Blu-ray discs to be far more sophisticated than bonus content provided by standard DVD. This includes network access, picture-in-picture and access to expanded local storage. You need to install Java to use this feature.
• madVR (requires manual installation)
  madVR is a high quality DirectShow video renderer, designed as a no-compromise approach, which tries to achieve the best possible video playback quality.

• Ares (skin)
  An amazing new skin from the designer of Apollo giving you 25 home buttons to configure exactly how you like.
  Rename labels, change images, swap out plugins and configure hyperlink parameters all within the home screen.
  Support and a button image template can be found in one of the following threads:
  Ares Skin Feedback
  
  
• TV engine now supports broadcasts with HEVC/H.265 video e.g. DVB-T2 HD in Germany
• For remote TV clients, a major update of the underlying RTSP client/server code to improve the speed of live TV channel changes, live & recorded seeking (skip steps) performance and IPTV reliability.
• Live TV playback performs smooth matching of broadcast and PC stream rates, to reduce playback 'pauses' in some circumstances.
• Better TV audio support (more AAC formats supported and other reliabilty improvements)
• Separate settings for DVD and BD external players
• Improved Wake On LAN support.
• HID remote handler now supports multiple profiles
  This makes it easier for users to customize their remote control experience.

All these new released of Media Portal and yet the epg is way too resource intensive. Been using MePo on and off since 2012 and with each install the effort to get channel listings is painful............that shit takes 2 mins in SichboPVR - Free TV software for Windows

@mediaportalman
Thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised you're having trouble. Configuring EPG (channel listings) for MediaPortal is not meant to be hard. Let's continue the discussion in your -->other thread<--.

I noticed that post upgrade from 1.15 to 1.16 the latest online videos plugin is disabled due to not compatible version . MPEM had latest version as 2.2, and would not upgrade, however going to OV thread and downloading v2.3 .mpei file i was able to manually upgrade the version.
