history.
XBMC Media Center is the successor to the popular Xbox Media Player (XBMP). Development of the Xbox Media Player has stopped December 13, 2003, when XBMC was ready to leave and re-named from the 'player' in the 'center' for multimedia playback. The first stable release was issued June 29, 2004 with the official release of a XBoxMediaCenter. 0. 0. The announcement called for all developers who use XBMP or beta version of XBMC to upgrade due to the cessation of support for previous versions. In an XBMC. 0. 0 included FileZilla FTP Server, DHCP support, and a new version of MPlayer. Built-in Python allowed to implement the rendering of interface elements. With the release of version 1. 0. 0 in the middle of 2004 continued injection of additional functions, such as exists in the ITunes DAAP and Smart Playlists. The second stable release of XBMC, a. a. 0, was released on October 18, 2004. There was support for a large number of formats, streaming video and karaoke (CD-G).
After two years of productive development, XBMC has announced the final release two. 0. 0 September 29, 2006. The new version has learned to handle RAR and Zip archives, updated player interface. Be separately identified PAPlayer, audio player with support for Crossfade and ReplayGain, and a new DVDPlayer enabled navigation menus and chapters. Add the ability to play ISO / IMG images. Up to this point has used a modified MPlayer XBMC for all your multimedia needs, it was a big step forward. Support for ITunes 6. x DAAP and Upnp client for streaming, reading sections FAT12/16/32, 3D- visualization and redesigned engine for skins - all of the above fall into the new release.
version 2. 0. 1, published November 12, 2006, contains numerous corrections, correcting mistakes Release 2. 0. 0. From now on, developers stopped using CVS, clicking on SVN.
May 29, 2007 Team XBMC threw cry developers interested in porting the media center for Linux. Since then, several people started to move part of XBMC to Linux using SDL and OpenGL as a replacement for DirectX, which is widely used in the Xbox- version of XBMC.
Develop code base continues to SVN. Versioning scheme was changed to reflect the release date ( month and year, as in the draft Ubuntu), t. e. 8. 10, 9. 04, 9. 11, 10. 5 and t. Dr..
January 2, 2011, developers. announced. migration from SVN to Git.
The present.
Just think, only recently changed with the fellow servants videotapes. And now, ... DVD-players gradually give way to more advanced piece of hardware. Modern console or a computer can easily turn into a multimedia center, there is a will. and.
XBMC. I must say, can be very useful, acting as a genie. It's about the last stable release -. XBMC 10. 0 ... (. a list of changes. ), Drifting into the network from end-December. After the first run I advise to go to the settings. If your video card supports vdpau, enable hardware acceleration (CPU appreciate your zeal ). I took another, and to calibrate the screen (so do not be surprised distorting images screenshots ). The other default settings are not touched, happy. So, a few words about the secret locations of the main menu.
Weather.
When the end common themes, people ask questions about the weather. It seems to crumple at the TV interview, the developers added a weather forecaster. In the settings you can choose from three cities in which you plan to attend. The standard design. Confluence. is forecast in the form of two tablets. On one is the current situation, t. e. alleged picture of the window. The second sign is looking forward to the next four days.
Videos.
It hides your video library. The new version reviewed films labeled ' tick ', the risk to miss some series is reduced to zero:-) Playing with the interrupted position will not lose the thread of the plot, the option has long suggested itself. Information on playing the movie icons supplied with the name of the codec, the number of channels in the audio track, etc. n. A nice thing, showing off the side of the end time of screening,. Personally, I did not have a dashing combination to quickly switch the subtitle still climb into the jungle of menus.
Music.
Rarely use it, does not describe the details. I wanted to drag the music from a laptop to DAAP ( turns out there Rhythmbox ). Alas, not work. Zeroconf DAAP is not connected in any stable release or the current building from svn. XBMC crashes when you try to add a new source.
Programs.
The section is devoted to applications, and can act as a central point to start the executable file. These include games, simulators, software and control panel. Out of the box in the ...
System.
A large number of settings, look at first. Here you and look podretushiruyut, and rendering the video will change, and the songs on the last. fm sent. Difficult to get confused, the settings are divided into quite specific categories.
Pictures.
An easy way to view images. There is a slide show with nice transition effects and background music. It is necessary to make a reservation, no structuring or filter by date imagery is not in sight. The usual tour of the directory hierarchy, which is not always convenient to agree.
Installation in Ubuntu.
The most courageous and persistent self- test suggest that the shell. Fortunately, PPA with the current version of the search is not necessary.
