What is New in This Release : [ study full changelog ]
Android Hardware Decoding:
· It's been a prolonged time coming, but we are energized to announce that components decoding of movie has last but not least manufactured its way to the XBMC for Android platform. The most significant caveat is that the applied components decoding does not assist AmLogic or Allwinner chipsets, and it does require Android four. ("Ice Cream Sandwich") or increased to operate. With that said, the additional well known tablets marketed in the previous calendar year, this kind of as the Nexus 7 and 10, must operate quite very well with this alpha, and users are welcome to go over their encounters in the comments down below. Kudos to Koying for his perform on this undertaking.
Stereoscopic 3D Rendering:
· For you enthusiasts of 3D out there, we are also pleased to say that we now guidance 3D videos encoded in the following formats: SBS, TAB, anaglyph, and interlaced (on supported platforms for passive TVs). Sadly, XBMC can't nevertheless guidance 3D blurays and are not able to present components acceleration for FullSBS/TAB films ( for that reason restricting these films to reasonably high driven CPUs).
· A handy characteristic that also comes with this alpha is a focused button to toggle 3D manner, which has two advantages : Initially, even though XBMC must automatically understand 3D-encoded flicks, if it fails to realize the structure, consumers can pressure 3D method. 2nd, customers are now welcome to encode all their ripped blu-rays into 3D and skip making a 2nd encode in 2nd, mainly because toggling off 3D method on a 3D regarded movie will basically display screen the film in conventional 2d. This button calls for an update to your skin of choice, so, if you are not employing Confluence, feel free of charge to place the function out to your preferred Skilled Skinner.
Context Menu Clean -up:
· In addition to greater attributes, if you've been next along, you know that we've been working for really some time on making the complete user encounter far more helpful. To that conclude, this past month has been one of cleaning up the context menu. We have labored to thoroughly clean it up in two approaches. Very first, we've pulled goods out that don't actually make feeling to be in a context menu. Next, we have moved some options that individuals almost never use into a second "Manage" dialog.
· In your day -to- day expertise, this implies the Update Library alternative is now usually obtainable in the facet -bar, as can be witnessed in the under photo. This is rather equivalent to how we've moved the diverse setting stages ( Primary / Regular / Innovative / Expert ) to the sidebar on the Process Settings internet pages.
Goodbye Home windows XP:
· We are pleased to announce that we will be becoming a member of Microsoft in dropping assistance for Home windows XP in 2014 by dropping help for XP with XBMC thirteen. At current, there are selected attributes that are being held back by our continuing guidance of the XP platform, and the finest route forward is to halt assistance on the approximately twelve year old OS. Vista, seven, and eight will all continue to be supported from this position forward.
Bug List and Other Improvements :
· A adjust that surely couldn't be called a attribute requires Weather Underground. However, WU is currently becoming strike with considerably far more XBMC visitors than even a full sponsorship could pay for. To solve this, at least in the short phrase, XBMC 13 will now ship with out a default climate app. People who are upgrading will not see a transform, and new people are welcome to re- obtain the addon if they pick.
