The latest version of Media Browser, version 2.5.3, codename Apollo SP1 has been released.
Highlights:
- Much faster RAL loading in most instances
- Faster performance with the Music plug-in in most instances
- Improvements to the default theme for Music items
- RAL should eliminate dups in situations where you have multiple children of a top item pointing to the same items
- Unavailable content should be handled much better. Now it will just skip the validation of the specific items that are not available and allow everything else to refresh.
- Support for logos, art and thumbs at the core level (so all themes can take advantage of them).
- Implemented non-english metadata retrieval from tmdb
- Indicators are shown for premium plugins in the More Plugins window of the Configurator and you can limit the list of plugins to only free ones.
- Screensavers can now kick in from the details screen
- Jump in List fixes with non-english character sets
- Much better Jump in List when not sorted by name. See: Search by NAME when sorted by DATE
- 3D Movies can now be recognized by Media Browser
- Added mk3d media type for external players
- Change in xml provider to look for movie.xml primarily instead of mymovies.xml. For more details see Important Notes.
- Default theme improvements and fixes

- Fix for last added lists containing TV outside of the normal file structure
- Podcasts now show in last added lists properly
- JIL and sorting should now work better with non-alpha characters and indexes
- Fix for some memory leaks in the service
- You can now index a folder by the official certification (MPAA rating)
