What's New?
Speed and Memory Improvements
This release primarily focuses on bug fixes and optimization. Performance of GUI navigation should be dramatically improved, especially for users storing data on a network attached storage device. This performance improvement also applies to remote control filtering which should be much more usable from this point on. For users that were most affected by this issue, navigation delays should be reduced by a factor of 20 or even more.
Memory usage of the importer has been greatly improved as well so people importing 1000+ movies in one sitting should no longer have any memory issues.
Bug Fixes
This release fixes various semi-minor bugs in Moving Pictures as well. A few highlights include better support for movies made up of multiple video files, better file deletion support and improved behavior when categories are disabled. We also have nearly a dozen translation and import script updates. If you are interested in the details of any of these changes please take a peek out our change log.
What's Coming?
On the horizon features for Moving Pictures are always in flux and as many of you are probably aware, release dates are based on when developers have a bit of free time and when life is less hectic than usual. Thanks for your patience though! It is always exciting to talk about what may be coming down the line though. I can't really make any promises and I can not speak for other developers, but features on my mind include a search interface in GUI, support for working with the importer directly in the GUI as well as sorting and filtering in the configuration screen on the Movie Manager panel.
I am very much interested in hearing what is important to the community though. Please feel free to chime in your thoughts or ideas. And please remember to "star" an issue on Google Code if it's something that excites you. This is our primary method of gauging community interest.
Contributions and Thanks
These days it is difficult to create a proper list of people to thank. apondman, zealotsix, inker, damienh, lfalk, rochess, gshipley. These are some of the big names and I am sure tomorrow I am gonna kick myself for leaving someone integral out. Thank god for that edit button.
Most importantly though, thanks to the community, all of you. The plugin obviously wouldn't exist without you guys but that doesn't even touch on donations, community contributions to scraper scripts and various skins, and hell, just helping other users out on the forums.
So thank you all for helping create and support Moving Pictures and the community surrounding it.
