The wait is over, the new version of Media Browser for Windows 8.1 is here.

 

Even though the app has a lot of cosmetic improvements such as rotating backdrops, more artwork used etc etc, the biggest changes are under the hood. Playback is vastly improved and performance is even better.

 

Here's a list of the biggest changes

 

Playback

  • Support for HLS streams, providing a more reliable transcoding solution with less playback errors.
  • Support for external subtitles without transcoding
  • New player look and feel
Features
  • Channels are now supported. Just enable some channels on the server and enjoy them on your windows 8.1 device.
  • Playlists are now supported, just go into the music hub and you'll find them.
  • Multiple backdrops. The app now use all the backdrops that you have for your items and fades nicely between them
  • Fewer buttons, the resume button is gone and replaced with a flyout. Just hit play, if the playable item can resume the options will be shown
  • The change user option has moved up to the top left corner of the main screen
