MediaPortal

What's new in this version:

This service upgrade fixes several bugs and introduces some new features:
WakeOnLan:
- We added a WOL-manager to allow the automatic wake-up of the server PC when a client is switched on

TV:
- We added automatic logo management: channel logos are now automatically refreshed every other week so that changes in the logo repository will be automatically available on your system
- We also fixed a bug that caused radio logos to not be downloaded
- A configurable pop-up window now signals that a scheduled recording is starting or has ended

Player-OSD and Player configuration display:
- We added a setting option to allow the optional display of the player configuration dialog
- We changed the way the OSD is displayed. The first press of 'Info' will invoke the OSD, a second will either switch it off or display the player configuration, which will then close again when pressing 'Info' one more time

Removable media:
- We greatly increased the speed when browsing files on removable media (e.g. pictures on a SD card)

Weather:
- We fixed a bug that caused temperatures to always be displayed in °C

Skin:
- We added a new WMC theme 'Turquoise"
- The WMC Home menu has been overworked for a better user experience
- DiscArt was added to the Audio player
