Download MediaPortal 1.7.1

An update has been released for the version 1.7.0 of MediaPortal, which was released two weeks ago. With this program, a Windows machine can be used as the heart of the multimedia hardware in the living room. This makes it easy to listen to radio and music, as well as watch videos and DVDs. TV programs can also be recorded. By means of plug-ins and extensions, the functionality can be expanded and the look & feel of the program can be adjusted. Here are the main changes in this release:

Highlights of this release

We discovered a few issues with our 1.7 Final release which we addressed in this replacement, the 1.7.1 HotFix release. The most important change comes from a SubsystemVersion bump (MP.Externals.BASS to be specific).

Attention Plugin developers! If your plugin references to the MP.Externals.BASS SubsystemVersion, your plugin will show up as incompatible as of the 1.7.1 HotFix release, and an updated version is needed.

Besides the SubsystemVersion bump, we updated the Bass ASIO binary and fixed a possible crash if you ONLY installed the BassBox visualisations. There has also been some work done on the WMP visualisations.
And last but not least, we fixed some potential freezes which were caused by using an obsolete Album View (Music) setting in Shares View.
