What’s New?
===========

The “WIIMC Enhancement Pack V” has evolved into a major set of additional enhancements built on WIIMC 1.1.1:

1. Completion of the Enhanced Browser Bar Tracking and menu return to the last played features so that all modes including onlinemedia are now correctly tracked and returned to the last file played.
2. A set of selectable tools to sort files by date and to sort by name, display, save and rename onlinemedia playlist and stream links so that custom playlists may be created of favorite links.
3. Options to locate the onlinemedia link files onlinemedia.xml and savedlinks.xml and/or the restore_points file on the PC where they may be edited and loaded immediately rather than having to transfer these files from the WII, edit them and then transfer them back.
4. The ability to dynamically change audio delay and subtitle size while a video is playing, which addresses the two most commonly needed adjustments which cannot be practically achieved by changing settings.
5. The expansion of available restore points up to 500, the option to make them location independent, and the addition of indictors to show files have been completely played as well as those that have been paused.
6. The complete integration of VLC-Shares into WIIMC, including browser bar fileplaying tracking, up-one-level return to the VLC-Shares Main Menu after VLC is spawned, and restore-point tracking so that previously played shared files are indicated on both Video and VLC-Shares menus as paused or played regardless of whether they were played as WIIMC or VLC-Shares videos.
7. Extended support for the new standard WIIMC support for external music playlists, which verifies the validity of a playlist and its files before loading them into WIIMC+.
8. A new Music Remote Play Mode which controls the Music Mode functions, Play/Pause, Next Selection and Restart with the Down, Right and Left WIImote buttons while in Screensaver Mode.

It implements the following individual changes:

a) Correctly tracks the path of playlists and folders on the top browser line when in Onlinemedia mode using the Enhanced Browser Bar option.
b) Correctly tracks the VLC-Shares playlists, adds support for the up-one-level (B-Button) after VLC is started, and displays folder icons 42). Also adds previously played restore point checkmark support to vlc-shares file menus, including plug-ins, if “Restore using” “filename only” is selected 23).
c) Correctly tracks Navi playlists including support for including multi-page Navi Playlists 43).
d) Adds support for mms links when using the “Save Links” 11) and “Display urls” 14) options.
e) Corrects errors in processing the “Display all urls” option 15).
f) Changes any invalid xml characters “Save Links” 11) names and addresses to avoid .xml errors.
g) Adds an option 9) to “Sort Files by Date” rather than by name.
h) Adds an option 10) to “Sort playlists” by name rather than the order downloaded.
i) Adds an option 12) to “Save and Rename Playlists” when they are loaded.
j) Adds a new “Sort,Save & Display Settings” 38) section with No, Once and Always settings to make it easy to change these frequently used options.
k) Adds an option 21) to log “unable to Access” YouTube videos.
l) Adds a new “Restore Using” option 23) to match played videos on filename rather than the fullpath name, and to match foldernames as well as filenames.
m) Adds a new “Restore Points” option 24) to set the number of restore filenames from 50 to 500, and saves the restorepoint file after each change.
n) Adds a new option 25) “Resore_points Location” to cause WIIMC to load and save the “restore_points” file from either the WII or the PC.
o) Adds 3 new icons to the existing green check: a red check and green and red checked folders, to indicate that files and one file folders have been paused (green) or played completely (red). 41)
p) Implements a “B Toggle” button 39) while playing videos, which alters the left/right and up/down buttons to dynamically change audio delay and subtitle size.
q) Correctly returns the browser listing to and highlights the previous file, directory or playlist when a video ends or up-one-level the (<-B) button is clicked 40).
r) Incorporates a + sign into the WIIMC logos and credits in recognition of wiimc-plus, and includes in the credits the svn level to which the enhancements were applied.
s) Now saves music playlists 36) into “mpl/playlist name” subdirectories so they may be viewed in WIIMC; retains the last playlist name used, changes playlist management terms from “erase, save and restore”, to “clear, save and load”,and returns to the playlist menu rather than the music menu after using these functions.
t) Adds a new option 26) “Save Location” to cause WIIMC to load and save onlinemedia.xml and savedlinks.xml files from either the WII or the PC.
u) Displays the onlinemedia menu in the order of the onlinemedia.xml file rather than sorted by address. 44)
v) Expands the Now Playing information for Shoutcast Radio to split the Artist – Song Title line over 2 lines, and to increase the length of all lines so more complete information is shown. Also changes music to also show artist then title. 45)
w) Adds a new option 27) to verify the validity of external Music Playlist contents before loading them into WIIMC+.
x) Implements a new Music Remote Play Screensaver Mode 28) which activates the Screensaver and uses the Down, Right and Left WIImote buttons to control the Music Mode functions, Play/Pause, Next Selection and Restart.
y) Adds a new option 46)to display “trace” output to track key events within WIIMC+ for those who wish to do further modifications.
z) An “Enhanced Guide to Onlinemedia” is included in the pack to explain the use of the enhanced options for sort, save and display of onlinemedia.
