Streamed MP 2.1.4 [11 Nov 2013] [Supports MP 1.4 and 1.5] (1 Viewer)

[ltfearme]

StreamedMP for MediaPortal v1.4/1.5 is now ready. This release is considered stable, please help test to ensure anything hasn't been broken since StreamedMP 1.9.x and is fully compatible with MediaPortal 1.4.x and 1.5.x.

Requirements

• MediaPortal 1.4 or 1.5.
• 1080P Capable Monitor / TV.
• MovingPictures plugin if BasicHome installed (not required in MP 1.5).

StreamedMP depends on MovingPictures and it's libraries. Ensure this is selected during installation if you also select the BasicHome (menu) editor, if your locally installed version is newer it will not be overwritten. If you don't use the MovingPictures plugin, you can disable it from the MediaPortal plugin configuration dialog.

This requirement should not be needed for MediaPortal 1.5 as it's been identified as an issue and resolved.

Upgrades
Users can upgrade from any earlier version of StreamedMP by simply downloading the executable file and running it, the steps are no different that clean installs. All previous skin settings chosen will persist.

Custom Skin Modifications
It's highly recommended that skin modifications are now done using Themes instead of directly modifying the skins files. Themes can easily be shared with community members.

Translations
StreamedMP is fully translatable, community members can help translate from Transifex. More information about how to do this can be found in the main translations thread here.

DOWNLOAD
Be sure to disable any Anti-virus programs before download begins and before installation. Alternatively create a rule to allow StreamedMP. There has been reports of Kapersky interfering with download/install.

thanks, much appreciated

 

[akajester]

thank you! best skin evah!

Yes, it is. And it would even be more better, if we could have the extensions integrated with MPEI ;-) Hope this one is not too far down in the "feature list" ;-)

 

[ltfearme]

New release available, v2.1.0.3340 which supports MediaPortal 1.4 Final.

Special Note: the skin dimensions have been updated to 1920x1080 from 1280x720, I have done quite a lot of testing and tweaking to ensure that it looks exactly the same as it did when MediaPortal up-scaled to that resolution. If you find that something is not correctly aligned or is not in the correct position but was previously then please let me know by making a new forum thread with pictures.

The main advantage of moving to this resolution is that we don't need to test both resolutions, normally we tried to make it fit better for 1920x1080 anyway. Another advantage will be that we can start improving the graphics over time. For now, it should look exactly the same to you but please let us know if it doesn't.

If you're a plugin developer that includes skin files or theme designer for StreamedMP then you will need to ensure that these are updated to support new resolution.

So the resolution change was the big change for v2.1, I will start looking at a shift to MPEI for v2.2.
