We are now taking donations!

Special Thanks

Special thanks to all the developers, testers, and users who posted feedback in both the forum and here on the community tracker, and anyone else whom I've missed that contributed on this release.

As a standalone release this is a significant one for Media Browser. A great deal of work has taken place in refining our backend plug-in architecture and creating standards that benefit not only developers but ultimately you the consumer. Its now easier than ever to create a plugin to Media Browser which should allow for talented developers to really put their own spin on Media Browser.

On a somewhat personal level the ThunderBlade release validates the direction we've done for the past 3 / 4 releases and takes it to another level (I'm a bit excited …). So I've rambled on long enough there is only one thing left to say – enjoy!

We would also like to call out the following changes:

Much has been said about Media Browsers memory usage, we have taken the plunge and added setting that minimizes memory usage (and in turn take up more CPU) to enable this setting have a look at: Memory usage of MB is really high. In particular there is a new setting in the configuration file that can be set manually: called CacheAllImagesInMemory when set to false, memory usage goes way down.
Local trailer support is pretty cool very high WAF see: Local trailers support
