Introducing ViMu Player for Google TV!
ViMu is a new name of version 1.0 of GTVBox Video Player.
- New app name and icon.
That was a suggestion from Google guys. Now it is much easy to use voice search to start the app.
- Google TV OS v.3 support.
GTV v.3 is coming. It has slightly different media api, that required some new code.
- New simple network discovery and share add screen.
I've already posted some screenshots. Now there is one screen for all share types.
- Edit or delete bookmarks by longclicking on them.
You should not use options menu anymore to delete a shortcut. Just long click on it for popup menu.
- Old interface removed. 2 column mode moved to the new interface.
- Local storage bookmark removed. You can enable it in settings.
Google said no one needs it.
- Long name scrolling in grid view.
- Higher resolution covers support in grid view.
There was a limit for a cover to be displayed in grid view and some bugs which made thumbnails look awful.
- Image view over UPnP/DLNA.
You can now view pictures over DLNA. Still experimental.
- Unified cover format for Local/SMB. No need to select template.
You can use any template (Thumbgen/Movienizer) without selecting it.
- Streaming from PlayOn over HLS with seek support.
Now PlayOn should stream flawlessly.
- Tips and Tricks popups.
- Possible media playback error reason is displayed on playback fail.
If playback fails ViMu will show you some additional info why playback failed.
- Experimental UPnP/DLNA indexing and search (works with Twonky, XBMC, Logitech Media Server).
ViMu can index DLNA servers that support SEARCH request and use Google TV search bar.
- Less memory usage.
- Lots of small improvements.
- Tested by Google.
