As far as I know, the last SVN has been committed that would prompt the first beta release of the new Media Browser plugin. There’s not a ton to add since I gave the first sneak peek a few weeks ago, but I wanted to include the latest screenshots and give a quick rundown of some of the features. Media Browser (renamed from Video Browser) now includes:
- Automatic metadata and image fetching
- Automatic thumbnail generation
- New settings and configuration interface
- Resuming of playback
- Multiple views (detail, poster, thumb, banner, etc.)
- Vertical or horizontal scrolling (you decide!)
- Adjustable poster sizing
- Automated playlists (adjustable too!)
- Smart sort indexing
- Adaptable view settings
- Multi-threaded background caching for fast metadata loading and library browsing
- Greatly enhanced information screens with selectable synopsis and actor fields
- …and more!
Instead of posting screenshots here, I’m just going to link a gallery that I created. The images are a little higher res this time around as NextGen Gallery is finally working with it’s new version for WP 2.7. I have no idea on a formal release date for the new beta, but I do know that is very close and there should be no discernible changes between what you see here and that time.
Take a look and then head on over the Media Browser forums to let them know what you think!
