Kostenloses Open-Source-Media-Center der Extraklasse.
Dieses Gratis-Programm vereint die Funktionen eines Media-Players, Video-Aufnahmegerätes, DVD-Spieler und Bildbetrachter. Dabei müssen bestimmte Programme für diese Funktionen vorinstalliert sein, wie der Windows Media Player, PowerDVD oder WinDVD zum Abspielen von DVDs; ffdshow, sowie das Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 und DirectX 9.0c.
Darüber hinaus benötigt man eine TV-Karte (WDM-kompatibel oder mit MPEG-2-Chipsatz) und eine DirectX-9 kompatibele Grafikkarte. Eine komplette Liste der notwendigen Hardware gibt es auf der Hersteller-Homepage.
Neben den oben genannten Funktionen beherrscht das Programm noch einige andere interessante Features. Zum Beispiel kann der aktuelle Wetterbericht oder wichtige News aus dem Internet geladen werden.

Ein Changelog gibts wohl noch nicht..ebenso ist diese Version noch nicht auf der Media Portal Seite verfügbar....

Noch gibt es nicht einmal MediaPortal 1.0, da stellen die Entwickler der unter GNU General Public License angebotenen Media-Center-Alternative für Windows (XP ab SP2, Vista) eine "Sneak Preview" auf MediaPortal 2 (Codename "Infinity") zum Download bereit.
(http://www.heise.de/bilder/100778/0/1)
Nach Angaben des Entwickler-Teams wurde der MediaPortal-Kern komplett neu programmiert, um künftige Codec-Änderungen zu vereinfachen. Auchdas GUI- und Skin-System wurde komplett überarbeitet. Nach zwischenzeitlichen Experimenten mit WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) und XAML sei man doch wieder zu DirectX zurückgekehrt. Das Hauptmenü lehnt sich stark an das des Vista Media Center an (siehe Bild), in den Medienbibliotheken gibt es nun eine an iTunes' Cover Flow erinnernde Ansicht sowie fliegende "Plattenstapel". Die Infinity-Preview beschränkt sich auf einige auf das wesentliche reduzierte Grundfunktionen (Bilder, Videos und DVD, Musik und Wetter); das TV-Modul fehlt noch. Animationen laufen (zumindest im Vollbildbetrieb) deutlich flüssiger als bei MediaPortal 0.2.3, dafür präsentiert sich die Preview recht absturzfreudig. Das Team betont denn auch, dass es sich weder um eine Alpha- noch um eine Betaversion handelt, sondern "Infinity" lediglich einen Ausblick auf die kommende Version geben soll.
Den Entwicklern erschien die zugrundeliegende Rendering-Engine von MediaPortal nicht performant und flexibel genug, sodass sie parallel zu der Entwicklung von MediaPortal 1.0 und dem zugehörigen TV-Server 1.0 die Entwicklung von MediaPortal 2 angestoßen haben.

So what is so special about this 1.0 release?
In February 2004 Erwin Beckers (aka. Frodo) left the X-Box Media Center project to start a new project, now known as MediaPortal, that would run on the Microsoft Windows platform and not suffer from the limitations of the X-Box hardware. Initially, existing code was reused from the XBMC-project but after several releases and innumerable feature enhancements there has been almost a complete redesign.
So, after a 5 year journey the Team MediaPortal is more than proud to announce the release of MediaPortal 1.0!
Installation notes:
If you have already installed a former release candidate of MediaPortal 1.0, you have to manually uninstall MediaPortal and TV-Server, before you launch the 1.0 final installer.
Please be aware that the MediaPortal 1.0 installer is a .NET Framework application. Because of that you must run it from your local hard disk and not from a network share.
If you want to keep your current settings, then please take a look at the related wiki article.
Please do not use community skins or plugins which are outdated, because this will cause problems.
TV-Server database:
As 1.0 is a milestone release inlcuding lots of changes, we would like to encourage everyone to do a clean installation.
You can export your current recording schedules, TV and radio channels by pressing the "export" button inside the TV-Server Configuration -> TV Channels.
Having finished the installation you can use the "import" button in the very same section to restore the exported data.
What happens next?:
Now that we have released MediaPortal 1.0, we will start to shift our attention more and more towards MediaPortal 2.
Besides, we will of course work on further updates for MediaPortal 1.
If you take a look at the roadmaps for MediaPortal 1 (links are at the end of this news), then you will see that we are already working on versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 which will mainly address issues that couldn't be fixed for the 1.0 release.
We will also continue to release scheduled SVN builds, but because of the rather big changes we will have to make for 1.0.1 and 1.0.2, they will no longer be as stable as they were in the past, untill the feature freeze stage for 1.0.1 is reached.
This should just remind you that applying SVN builds is risky and meant for testing purpose only. You should not apply them on your production system, unless you really know what you are doing.

Mit dem heutigen Tag steht euch der erste Release Candidate der Version 1.1.0 zur Vefügung. Nach dem gut verlaufenden 1.1.0-Beta-Release wurden noch umfangreiche Änderungen in Sachen Kompatibilität zwischen unserem TsReader Filter und diversen Videocodecs von Drittanbietern notwendig, daher war hier der ehrgeizige Veröffentlichungstermin Ende Dezember nicht (mehr) haltbar.
(http://alternativeoffice.net/images/mediaportal-big.png)
Wie schon bei den Versionen zuvor, lag auch hier der Schwerpunkt wieder auf dem Bereich Stabilität und Geschwindigkeitsoptimierung der GUI.
Wichtigste Änderungen zwischen der 1.1.0 Beta 1 und RC1:
* Ein neues offizielles MediaPortal Logo, neue Icons und DeployTool-Grafiken (Dank hierbei an Joost !)
* NALU Support für den TsReader
MediaPortal unterstützt nun zusätzlich:
o Windows 7 DTV DVD Codecs
o divx h.264
o MPC-HC VideoCodec (h.264) (diese Version enthält noch einen deadlock-Bug - das MPC.HC Team arbeitet an einem Fix)
* Unterstützung des Apple AIFF Musc Format
* Unterstützung des MIDI (*.mid, *.kar) Dateiformats
* VUMeter Support für Skins hinzugefügt
* Faster shares browsing
* MPTray integriert, ermöglicht das Starten von MP über den Green Button der MCE
* Optimierung der Bedienbarkeit einiger Funktionen
* Integriertes CI Menü in TV
* Unterstützung von ISO/IEC 10646-1(UTF-16) Text encoding in DVB
* DVB-S2 Modulation und DiseqC Support für ProfRed Karten
* DiseqC Support für TeVii Karten
* Unterstützung von Freesat DVB EPG
* Unterstützung von Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC3)
* Unterstützung von GenPix DVB-S

Die Veröffentlichung von 1.2.0 Beta ist nah - deswegen freuen wir uns, ein gut gehütetes Geheimnis zu lüften: Mit der neuen Version von MediaPortal stellen wir Ihnen einen brandneuen Standard-Skin vor!
(http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/4681/banner2pd.jpg)
Dank der unermüdlichen Arbeit unseres Design-Teams und unserer Tester können wir Ihnen ein neues modernes Design für MediaPortal 1.2.0 vorstellen, und zwar für 4:3 und 16:9 Displays.
Während der letzten Monate waren sich unsere Designer und Tester nicht sicher, ob sie an einem neuen Skin arbeiteten oder an einem Schlafentzugs-Experiment teilnahmen. Dieses umfangreiche Projekt erforderte die Mitarbeit vieler Team-Mitglieder, die den neuen Skin und die nachfolgend aufgeführten neuen Merkmale und Funktionen ausgiebig testen mussten:
- Text mit Schatten in allen Anzeigen
- Neue Coverflow-Ansicht mit faszinierenden neuen Animationen
- Verwendung von Bildmasken machen die Anzeige von Covern und Thumbs zu einem neuen Erlebnis
- Stark verbessertes Antwortverhalten machen das Standard-Skin von MP 1.2.0 zum schnellsten Skin aller Zeiten
- Vorbereitet für die Benutzung von Fanart Handler in Videos, Musik, Last FM etc.
- Informationen über neu hinzugefügte Elemente (Video, Musik, Bilder) in BasicHome
- Vorbereitet für die Benutzung von InfoService RSS- und Wetter-Informationen in Basic Home
- Komplett neue GFX für einen modernen und frischen Look
- Komplette Neu-Kodierung aller XMLs (nützlich für neue Skinner, um zu sehen, "wie es funktioniert")Shadowed text in all screens
Unsere vier exzellenten Mitglieder des Design-Teams brachten Ihre Fähigkeiten in unterschiedlichen Aufgabengebieten ein: Harley entwarf die neuen nahezu 3D-GFX für die verschiedenen MP-Module, Tgx entwarf die GFX für den Topbar und andere Schaltflächen, cul8er entwarf die GFX für Listen und Menü-Schaltflächen, und catavolt sorgte für die Neu-Kodierung aller XMLs, entwarf den Rest des neuen Looks und koordinierte alle notwendigen Aktionen zur Erstellung des neuen Skins.
Die Mitglieder unserer Testgruppe waren während der gesamten Entwicklungsperiode damit beschäftigt, den neuen Skin ausgiebig zu testen. Das Ergebnis war überzeugend: Obwohl sich MediaPortal 1.2.0 noch im Beta-Stadium befindet, ist die Performance des neuen Skins hervorragend.
Wir hoffen, dass Ihnen das neue Gesicht von MediaPortal 1.2.0 Beta gefällt und freuen uns schon jetzt auf Ihr Feedback, so dass wir den neuen Look von MediaPortal für die finale Version 1.2.0 möglicherweise noch verbessern können!

TV engine now supports broadcasts with HEVC/H.265 video e.g. DVB-T2 HD in Germany
For remote TV clients, a major update of the underlying RTSP client/server code to improve the speed of live TV channel changes, live & recorded seeking (skip steps) performance and IPTV reliability.
Live TV playback performs smooth matching of broadcast and PC stream rates, to reduce playback 'pauses' in some circumstances.
Better TV audio support (more AAC formats supported and other reliabilty improvements)
Separate settings for DVD and BD external players
Improved Wake On LAN support.
HID remote handler now supports multiple profiles
This makes it easier for users to customize their remote control experience.
Along with the above items we kept consolidating our software.

Release Notes
Highlights of this release
MyVideos
We fixed some bugs with video views, especially collections, user groups and libraries. We also added new properties to display icons of movie awards, extended MPAA text and movie awards text. Skinners now have the possibility to add badges for collections, user groups, new and actualized movies, watched/unwatched movies etc. as overlays in nearly all layouts like thumbnailpanel, filmstrip and coverflow. DefaultWideHD already shows some of the new functions.
MyTV
The lists in TV Recordings now show the year of the recording, e.g. 12-03 2016 instead of only 12-03. We also added the functionality of moving or deleting channels from/to channel groups inside the GUI via context menu in TV EPG. We also fixed an issue that recording files were left open by the Streaming Server
MediaPortal General
We fixed the problem of scaling issues when using MP in windowed mode or other resolutions than the standard resolution of 1920x1080.
We fixed a proplem with Watchdog crashing on failure when trying to copy TV Server gentle.config as well as Watchdog not grabbing all TV Server configuration files.
We fixed an issue with MiniDisplay not showing the correct labels for the actual highlighted button or selected items in a dialog list.
MediaInfo

Release Notes
This service upgrade fixes several bugs and introduces some new features:
Media Importer
We increased the speed and improved the stability of the importer process. We also removed OMDB from the list of online sources to choose from, as it is no longer free to use. A visual indicator has been added to each skin and theme to inform the user that an importer process is ongoing.
TV
We added the possibility to manually schedule recordings: schedules can now be defined for any channel by simply setting start and end times/dates.
The recording indicator that is displayed on each menu screen while the system is recording a show is now visible in all skins and themes.
A new setup option now allows users to change the logo style of TV/Radio channels. Besides a new channel group button to swich groups, we also added configuration options to define if name, logo and number of each TV channel should be displayed in the EPG
Video playback
A visual indicator will be shown when the playback is paused.
Fast forward/rewind now displays the speed of playback.
Weather
We replaced the weather provider WorldWeatherOnline by OpenWeatherMap. The Weather screen now displays a full seven days of weather forecast instead five.
Settings menu
The settings menu section has been overworked and now displays its entries in a more logical order and structure.

Changelog
Bugfixes:
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.
New:
We added support for the spectrum analyzer plugin (to be seen in e.g. MusicNowPlaying).

Die OSD-Menüanzeigesteuerung wurde geändert. Ein erstes Drücken von 'Info' blendet das OSD ein, ein zweites Drücken blendet es wieder aus bzw. zeigt abhängig von den Einstellungen das Player-Konfigurationsmenü an. In diesem Fall schließt ein weiteres Drücken von 'Info' auch dieses Menü.
Wechselmedien

Release Notes
Dieses kleine Update berückstichtigt hauptsächlich ein Problem im TV-Bereich, das uns von wenigen Anwendern gemeldet wurde und in seltenen Fällen zu Bildstörungen bei der Wiedergabe von Live TV bzw. TV-Aufnahmen führt. Wenn keine Probleme auftreten ist ein Upgrade nicht zwingend notwendig, obwohl daneben noch ein paar kleinere Fehler korrigiert worden sind.
TV/Radio
Downgrade der TV-Engine: MP 2.2.2 enthielt ein Upgrade der TV Engine vom MP 1.22- auf den MP 1.23-Level. In sehr seltenen Fällen verursacht dies eine stockende Bildwiedergabe in Verbindung mit starken Bildstörungen. In MP 2.2.3 verwenden wir wieder die bewährte Engine, die schon in MP 2.2.1 eingesetzt wurde.
System
Untertitel:: Ein Problem bei der Anzeige von Untertiteln in SD-Material bzw. im Fenstermodus von MediaPortal 2 wurde korrigiert.
Benutzerverwaltung: Ein per Auto-Login in MediaPortal 2 eingeloggter Benutzer wird jetzt bei Aufwachen des Clients wieder angemeldet.
Serien-Management: Die Kontext-Funktionalität auf Saison-Ebene wurde wiederhergestellt.
Erweiterungen
Die Funktionalität von MediaPortal 2.2.3 kann durch die Installation zusätzlicher Plugins weiter ausgebaut werden. Die Auswahl an Erweiterungen ist zwar derzeit begrenzt, wächst aber stetig. Entdecken Sie, was noch alles in unserem Featured Plugins-Bereich verfügbar ist
Trakt
Ein neues Trakt-Plugin wurde mit besserer Synchronisation und überwachtem Flag-Management entwickelt, das vollständig mit dem neuen Benutzerverwaltungssystem kompatibel ist und unterschiedliche Trakt-Accounts für verschiedene Benutzer ermöglicht. Die Entwicklung des Plugins wurde aus der Standard-Entwicklung von MediaPortal 2 ausgelagert. Dies wird die Entwicklung und Fehlerbehebung erleichtern.
Weitere Informationen oder ein Handbuch finden Sie in der entsprechenden Dokumentation
Webradio
Webradio ermöglicht die Nutzung von Internet-Radiostationen, ohne dafür die gewohnte MediaPortal-Umgebung verlassen zu müssen.Das Plugin kommt mit über 10.000 Online-Radiosendern aus der ganzen Welt. Treffen Sie Ihre eigene Auswahl nach Ländern, Städten, usw. und erstellen Sie Ihre eigenen Favoritenlisten.
