[Plugin] MediaBrowser for MediaPortal (v0.30-beta) [2014/08/20] (2 Viewers)

That's excellent news indeed and very generous of you @joostzilla !

It's all very exciting

Mediabrowser is my preferred choice these days, since I only have to manage my collection once, and I can have various clients which consume very little power (Roku, iPhone and hopefully iPad soon!)

I use Mediaportal really just for Live TV, which with DJBlu's plugin makes it the most user friendly option for the wife & kids

A couple of observations - I'm probably telling you stuff you already know, but thought I would raise them

In latest unwatched episodes, it's often difficult to tell what the show is, as it just lists the episode title and a screen grab, no series name.

In the shows listing, there's no indicator for which shows have new episodes.

I realise it is in development, just thought I would make sure it is on the radar

Cheers!

Most of the stuff you mention is being worked on yes and an easy fix for that matter
Would you mind adding your (future) observations to the issue list at https://github.com/apondman/MediaBrowser/issues ?
It will help focus development when i have user submitted requests to work with

Hello. I am not sure if this is a bug or just a setting I am not seeing, but whenever I open the Mediabrowser plugin and cycle through the layout to the one that I prefer, it doesn't save it. When I exit the program and reopen it, the one that it opens up to is always the same one, but not the one I changed it to. Like I said above, this may be a known issue or there is a setting I am not using correctly.

I am using version .11 of the plugin, version 1.5 of MediaPortal. I just downloaded everything tonight. I was using Media Center with MBC, but I wanted to try out your plugin because I do like MediaPortal better than Media Center.

Anyway, thanks for any input you have.

Hello Jason, this is a feature that is not yet implemented. I've added your request to the issue tracker (https://github.com/apondman/MediaBrowser/issues/20).

We have a new Roku release out with a very impressive change list:

Collections
Watched Indicators
Direct Play of MKV files
Stream Copy Added (it will only transcode what it needs to; for instance if the video is compatible with the Roku, but audio isn't, it will only transcode the audio)
Audio/Subtitle Support
Enhanced Image Support (Cover Art images will work in certain areas)
With Collections and the Trailers plugin, Trailer Playback Support
Switched back to default video player
Tons of bug fixes

It's going to feel more like an htpc app now.

Thanks for your quick response! Thanks for letting me know and that will be awesome when it is implemented.

The above is very true. I posted last night about the Roku app. So far it's working nicely for me and looks pretty awesome.
