Main changes compared to Summer'15 Update 1 Release are (grey points where available in previous development snapshots already):
- Skin engine:
- Try to fix NullReferenceException in font handling in seldom cases
- Fixed logging of shader load errors
- Fanart-Service
- Made FanartService more flexible for extensions (used for Emulators plugin, thanks @Brownard)
- Media Library:
- New filter for audio "Album Artist" (thanks to external patch by xMarkos)
- Major improvements to audio and image playback: now we use automatical created playlist to play all items from current view
- Major improvements to Image Player: player starts in "still" mode, allows skipping forward/backward through images. "Play" starts the known slide show.
- Extended support for IMDB-id detection of non-xml .nfo files
- Extended online lookup support at TheMovieDb by using tmdb ids
- Fixed potential crash for imports of UNC locations when checking for IsVirtualSource (thanks @disaster123 for reporting)
- Improved memory caching logic to avoid "out of memory" for large imports (thanks @MJGraf)
- New plugin:
- Added UPnP renderer plugin (thanks @FreakyJ)
- Installer:
- Fixed detection of x86 VC redistributables on x64 systems.
- Removed license link from initial dialog
- Fixed detection of x86 VC redistributables on x64 systems.
- MCE remote support:
- Fixed duplicated "next" / "previous" key handling
- Reduced logging to log unmapped keys only once
- Updates and fixes for SlimTV / TVE 3:
- Extended recordings screen to show more details (channel, recording times), (thanks @disaster123, @ge2301!)
- Changes to UPnP system (removed IP affiinity in some calls to improve device detection, sending UPnP "update configuration" after resume from standby to improve reconnection) (thanks @disaster123)
- Fixed user priorities (solves conflicts with EPG grabber and tuning requests)
- Improved schedules management: added scheduled programs list / series view
- Fixed recording/canceling of programs of series schedules
- Reworked group / channel / zap handling to use correct group and channel indexes
- Added new feature to show episode information in TV guide and recording planning
- Updated core to MP1.12 version
- Disabled redundant TV Thumbnail creation (done by MP2)
- Fixed endless loop in recording management if folder is missing
- Fixed storing/reading of some settings due to case-sensitive DB storage. This works only for new created databases or requires manual changes in SQLite DB (see here).
- Refresh Rate Changer:
- Extended configuration options to allow custom refresh rate mappings (i.e. 25 fps -> 50 Hz, or 23 fps -> 24 Hz)
- BlueVision skin:
- Fixed help label overlapping
- Fixed flickering of "currently playing" group button and changed the icon
- More fine tuning in all themes
- Using new ImageSourceWrapper for smooth transitions of fanart images (thanks @Brownard !)
- Moved player controls into new "currently playing" screen (right button in top group menu), so they don't overlap footer contents
- Added help texts for menu items to make features clearer to new users
- New "Windows 10" theme
- New window mode, toggle between them by "ALT-Enter":
- "Windowed always on top" (also known as MiniTV mode in MP1)
- Windowed (normal)
- Fullscreen
- Windows modes keep aspect ratio of Skin and position/size will be restored after restart
- Fixed wrong MP2 window size after sleep/resume cycle due to resolution changes (see here)
- Fixed Resource Server that could return wrong url in some cases (fixes loading of fanart / channel logos)
- Changed streaming parameters for remote resource bridge (trying to fix interruption of media playback in multiseat)
- Support for external subtitles by xy-VSfilter (auto loading version, thanks @henso)
- OnlineVideos 2 plugin is not contained, please backup and restore it after install

This is the very first MediaPortal version ever (no matter if MP1 or MP2) where it is fun to watch pictures with...
