v1.00 (Released 4th December 2008)
We’ve made it! v1.00!!
It’s been a long and winding road since we first started this project (and a lot of people who have been part of it have come and gone) but we’ve finally completed pretty much all the features and functionality that we originally planned for the skin.
There aren’t too many changes in this release, as the goal for this release was not to add any new features but to tidy up and stabilise existing stuff. Hopefully we’ve managed it.
We’re now going to concentrate on developing a new skin (one for the fanart fanboys!) so releases and updates to MediaStream will not be anywhere near as frequent as they have been. We will still be keeping an eye on the forums however, and if any major issues arise then we’ll try and sort them out ASAP.
There is a Feature Requests thread that we’ll aim to keep up to date. It contains a list of all the features that users have requested but we haven’t been able to fit them in before the v1.00 release. Our goal is that all the features listed in the first post will be implemented at some point (dependent on the time we need to dedicate to the new skin).
Hope you enjoy the skin and I’m excited to see what (if any) further MediaStream mods that start to appear now that we’ve put it in SVN.
As usual you can download the packaged version of the skin from our website, http://www.teamrazorfish.co.uk/mediastream.html
As of v1.00 you can now get access to the full source code (including textures) via the XBMC Skinning Project. Download it using SVN from https://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourcefo…er/MediaStream
The changes since the last release are as follows:
- Fixed: Width of text in the System Info screen
- Fixed: Positioning of the focus image for the vis settings button in the Music Visualisation screen
- Fixed: Aligning of the Now Playing UI on Home when shown on right of 4×3 screen
- Fixed: Width of Clock background when Large Clock is enabled
- Updated: Glass overlay image, to make it slightly stronger so that it works better with lighter images and dark images
- Updated: Parent Folder image to make it fit better with the rest of the skin
- Updated: Tidied up sub-menu animations on Home screen when moving between first and last items (made more consistent)
- Updated: Dutch, German and Chinese (Traditional) translations
