[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1024965, member: 27204"] With the release of v 6.0.3, we have introduced a "[B]Test mode[/B]" in MyFilms, that allows you to enable and test upcoming features planned for future releases. [B]Who should use Test Mode?[/B] Anyone can enable Test Mode and peek into the features we plan for the near future, but [COLOR=#ff0000]we recommend this only for experienced users and users willing to help us with testing[/COLOR] and provide quality feedback and bug reports. These Test Mode features are NOT supported for normal use! - some are WIP and not yet fully complete and documentation might be missing or incomplete. Skinners may also use Test Mode to get a 'jump start' for any skin changes for v 6.1.0. [B] And what is your benefit?[/B] You'll help improving MyFilms and help to get new features into next releases. And ... well ... you get access to some pretty cool features :D. [B]How can you help us?[/B] We need help testing the new features as well as the documentation. So you can help by: [LIST] [*]Testing a feature and providing feedback [B]in this thread [/B]- positive feedback that the feature is working as intended is also very important [*]Provide proper bug reports (see [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Support']Support[/URL]) so we can fix it for the public release [*]Check the documentation, ideally as you test new features, and provide feedback or even contribute to improving the documentation! [/LIST] The sooner we can 'verify' fixes and new features, and finalize the documentation, the sooner such a feature might go into public release! [B] Any prerequisites?[/B] Since the upcoming features are new, and only basic testing has been completed, most important is, as always: [LIST=1] [*]Take a backup of your data - a bug in a test mode feature might do harm to your data! [*]Make sure you know how you can restore your backup to revert to a working environment. [/LIST] If you're not sure, you probably should not use Test Mode - wait until the features go into a public release ;-) Several of the Online Movie Lists, and Trailer features require the OnlineVideos plugin - see the wiki [B][URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/00_What's_New/Version_6.1"]What's New > 6.1.0[/URL][/B] for details. [B]How do I enable the test mode and test the features?[/B] Test mode can be enabled in [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/4_MyFilms_Setup#Test_Mode']MyFilms setup[/URL]. You [B]MUST[/B] save your config, and restart setup to see new setup options. [SIZE=5][B]Upcoming 6.1.0 features [SIZE=3](available in 6.0.3 in Test Mode)[/SIZE][/B][/SIZE] MyFilms v6.0.3 Test Mode includes the following features planned for 6.1.0 which are ready to be evaluated/tested: [LIST] [*]Improved Setup Wizard to support central config setups [*]Precaching of movie DB on startup for faster initial plugin start especially for network setups [*]Autorun AMCU (Import new movies) on plugin start [*]Virtual path browsing - aka Shares view on steroids ;) [*]Change Default Config and Options via Options > Global Settings in GUI [*]Support for movie thumbs in Details screen [*]Box Sets/Groups: [LIST] [*]Improved Box Set management in GUI [*]Download of collection covers from TMDB [*]New dialog for visual image selection (for Collection Covers) (requires [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Skinning_My_Films/Skin_Changes']skin change[/URL]) [/LIST] [*]Online Movie Info: [LIST] [*]Online info about current, upcoming and most liked movies [*]Allow sorting for Online Movie Info/Lists [*]Context search option for online content to search local content by facade label keywords [*]OnlineVideos search in movie context menu [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Local caching for trailers of online content [/LIST] [*]Trailers: [LIST] [*]Download trailers for multiple movies [*]Trailer 'Scrobbling' - Play random trailers from a group of films [*]Play online streams directly in MyFilms [/LIST] [*]Persons Info: [LIST] [*]Get TMDB filmography via person context menu [*]View related persons view from Details Window [/LIST] [/LIST] [B]For more information on how to enable and use the Upcoming 6.1.0 features, see the wiki: [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/00_What's_New/Version_6.1"]What's New > 6.1.0[/URL]![/B] Happy testing :) [/QUOTE]
