Xtreamer road map Skeleton - (Target time for beta releases)This days are final but may be subjected to short delay of 1 or 2 days give and take.
(official releases will be 1 week later)

=====================================================VERSION 1.03 (will be announced to beta-testers group )
next week - on the 7.9.2009 we will announce new firmware based on the old SDK
This firmware includes the following main changes amongst few other little issues :
(1) We added the ability to add shortcuts to shared folder across your network.
you will be able to click the FUNC key on your RC and add any folder you wish while you browse the media library. Same ability was added to the Settings menu.
The result will be it will be easier to browse you your desired targets on the network.You will see these shortcuts on the top list of your Media library as well as on the new menu option of your sources screen.
(2) We added the ability to lock a folder with password. In your media library you will be able to click the FUNC key and lock / unlock a folder or even a file playback with your desired password. The master password will be reset from the settings menu.
(3) We added the same mechanism of folder.jpg as we all know it is widely used on other media player. User will be able to designate a folder a unique picture by simply adding folder.jpg file inside the folder.
This firmware is currently based on SD GUI.
Next firmware update (with the new SDK ) will be based on HD screen resolution
and will allow us better power to add more visuals to the GUI and enhance the user exprience - expect XBMC wide icon inside folders, XMJ mechanism embeded inside the firmware and very impressive Music JukeBox that supports full Internet radio.(4) We added Subtitle Color in the SUBT menu. Color control will be by defined presets, by powerful RGB flexible control . We even added ability to control outline color for anime movie fans.
On the next SDK firmware we will add to this menu the manual ability to select SRT files from the media library, we will add also the power to define the desired font for the subtitle. We will be able to fully support .IDX + .SUB . as this require core system change we could not present this now and only next SDK firmware that will be published on the 12.10.2009.
(5) We improved the GOTO menu. You will be able to see now time bar, and skip time segments of +15 sec +30 + 1 min + 5min and vice versa go backward.
the same function will be supported on the OSD by clicking the arrow keys.
(6) NFS mount speed was fixed. Unmount will be easier with a designated functions also.
(7) All System font was changed and now support fully the UTF 8 protocol so as to enable all european to experience no problem with strange sized letters in SRT.
(8) UPnP playback for mp3 files were fixed as well as the FTP access to the machine.
(9) We fixed some minor text errors and added MIME icon support to .ra + .rm files
(10) We added to the main screen the ability to get visual noticifaction if the WIFI/USB/HDD/LAN/UPnP/SIGNAL power are connected. If you will not see them on screen it means they they are not active .
(11) Bookmarking mechanism is under going work also. We are not sure we will be able to finish it on time and introduce it this time but we hope we do. Whatever the case may be you will be able to bookmark a file and add it to your favorite list (playlist in the sources menu)
Ist echt ein tolles Teil der Xtreamer!! Wirklich interessant wirds aber erst wenn die Sourcen veröffentlicht werden.
Hier gibts die gehackte Firmware 1.02 mit Telnet: http://drop.io/Xtreamer102hack (Passwort: xtreamer)
Bisher ist der Xtreamer aber jedesmal angesprungen - mal sehen wie lange noch. Und dann gehts zurück zum WD-TV. Oder doch mal Geld in ne VERNÜNFTIGE Popcorn investieren...
