Version 0.4 Released

Finally got enough features in for a new release! Here is a list of what's new in this version:

  • Buttons are used instead of a single image which reads the mouse coordinates on click
  • Playlist is functional
    • Info option is always disabled for now, in a later release this will pop up a new window with more information.
    • Right click an item and select "IMDB" - Currently only works for Movies
    • Right click an item and select "Play" - Disabled for currently playing item
    • Right click an item and select "Remove - Disabled for currently playing item
  • Description is wrapped properly, and put in its own scrollable box, rather than as a tooltip of the image
  • Window is resizable
  • Movies/TV Shows/Music will pop up a new window instead of switching a panel on the main window (None of these are implemented yet though). This is so there is more screen space available when the windows are populated
  • Wake on LAN button included if your XBMC server supports it (Hard-coded as port 9 for now). To make use of this feature, you will need to set the MAC address of your server.
  • settings.xml is stored in the user's AppData folder (eg. C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\XBMC Remote\settings.xml) - Not tested on Linux
  • System Tray icon added, so you can access control regardless of what window you have open (double-click the icon to jump to the main window)

Hopefully these features will make it a bit more usable for now. The 1.0 release will pretty much be bug fixes, and then I will begin work on the TV Shows menu!
