[Plugin] MediaBrowser for MediaPortal (v0.30-beta) [2014/08/20] (1 Viewer)

For those who haven't seen it, it looks great:

However, there is a BIG but...the server has a lot more data than the titan theme is built to display. Take a look at the upcoming Media Browser Theater, for example:

So we're hoping to find some creative types here who can help Armand get all of the new stuff on display in his plugin.[DOUBLEPOST=1381254461][/DOUBLEPOST]And there are a couple more tabs that could show up as well, depending on data available for the particular item. So there's quite a bit at your fingertips!

I published version 0.10-beta of the plugin, details about the changes are behind the download link in the first post.

There will be some edits on the wiki later to explain the new "smart image controls" skinners can use. In short it will allow skinners to use the different dimensions and types of the artwork supplied by the server based of image controls. The plugin will only load/request images based on skin properties, delivering custom resized and eventually cached images to reduce server traffic. It's still experimental but i think it gives a lot of freedom for designers.

Just installed the update - liking the fanart backgrounds

On TV Series, there is a placeholder box behind the screenshot which looks a bit odd?

Yeah that is me kinda spending more time in the code than on the skin I will fix it for the next release.

No biggie, I'm loving the plugin - makes my life so much easier

Hi Plugin- and Mediabrowser Devs!
Big Thanks for you effort! Will there be support for music in one of the next releases?

Best regards
Helios

I'm sure Armand will do music. Our music api has lots of great features.

FYI guys, our new community for Media Browser has opened today:

http://mediabrowser3.com/community/

You'll be able to get support for this client both here and there.

Don't worry
The team of Titan already offered Armand to do the Titan mediabrowser skin design for him.

That is fantastic news. If there's anything i can do to help, please let me know. We have quite a bit of data at our disposal, and currently the web client is the only one that uses all of it. I can answer any questions about it that you may have.

We can also get you guys access to our dev area so that you can try out Media Browser Theater, in case you're curious to see an example of an htpc client using the new features.

I've asked for support for the plugin for a couple of skins, hopefully they will get time to implement - whilst I like Titan, I don't like that I can't customise the buttons easily without using Titan Extended, which I really don't like :-(

Great news: The basichome editor included in the Titan Extended package will offer customisation of the default basichome aswell in a following release
