CoverArt 1.2 Released

CoverArt 1.2 adds several new features and a few bug fixes.  The major points are:

• More Covers – Expansion of the standard covers in both the CoverArtCase and CoverArtClearCase image sets. There now are cases for most of the video types (xvid, divx, h264 etc.)
• More ImageSet Options – Some more new internal image sets to make for a little more flexibility. These include minimal versions of the above image sets that only have "the big 3" covers (DVD, BD, HDDVD) as well as a "default".
• Cover by Definition option – This is implemented at the profile level. So, you can define a profile that will choose a case based on whether the item is SD or HD. This only applies to movies and, right now, only applies to the CoverArtCase image set (but hopefully, will work for ClearCase as well before release). It will also work, however, in a custom image set you define.
• More Intelligent Previews – The config app is now more intelligent in the previews it shows you. For instance, it will only show you the default treatment for things like series and seasons because that is all they will ever get in the real program (those things don’t have "types" or definition).
• Automated Registration System – Ahhh, there it is – the introduction of a registration requirement for a MediaBrowser plug-in. This is a first and, I imagine, potentially controversial but it is unfortunately necessary for me to continue working on these things. I have chosen what I think is a very reasonable cost ($4usd) but, if you register in the next two weeks it will be half-price. Registration is only required once per household and is not a recurring/subscription item. The process of registering is fairly painless as well.  Please see the registration page for details. (Note: If you have previously donated, you will not need to donate again.  I will email you a registration key before the trial period expires)

Well, that’s pretty much it.  You can install or upgrade via the Media Browser Configuration Wizard now.  Thanks for your support!
