Download MediaPortal 1.18.0

A new stable release from MediaPortal’s 1.x series has been released. 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:

New:

• We added support for the spectrum analyzer plugin (to be seen in eg MusicNowPlaying).

Bug fixes:

• We fixed some issues with TSReader where RTSP timeouts were too short in some situations as well as seeking in recordings could trigger end-of-file if extra buffering delay is enabled in registry.
• We fixed an issue where MP was not able to find the correct Audio Renderer Device.
• We fixed an issue where TV channels were removed when selecting “Edit Recording” in EPG.
• We added PowerOff events to the InputHandler mapping.
• We added the possibility of bulk deletion in TV Recordings.
• We fixed an issue in MyVideos where file deletion failed when the file was playing.
• We significantly reduced the CPU load on BasicHome for skins using a lot of skin expressions (from BasicHome Editors) and therefore optimized the rendering times.
• A lot of bug fixing in madVR.
