MythDroid 0.6.1

[foo bar]

Hi all,

A MythDroid 0.6.1 apk and MDD 0.6.1 tarball are now available from
http://code.google.com/p/mythdroid/downloads/list..

The code to support MythTV 0.25 has been in the repository since
before 0.25 was released but I haven't got around to packaging up a
release until now :(. Hopefully the people who needed it found it!

Anyway, there's lots of changes since the last release.. The changelog
extract is below but the main things are:

* MythTV 0.25 support, including the new services api
* 'MoveTo' - move in-progress playback between frontends (and/or the
android device), waking them as necessary
* Media artwork in various activities
* Streaming configuration changes (stream complexity) and improvements
* Update checking for MythDroid and MDD - can be disabled in preferences
* Lots of bugfixes

I'll try to update the wiki to reflect some of the new functionality
when I find some time (unless there's any volunteers?!).

Regards,

foobum

Hi all,

If you were really quick (i.e. before the previous mail was sent) to
download the new apk, you'll want to grab it again - a new version
went up at the same time as the mail went out that fixed a small issue
in the artwork fetching..

Regards,

Argh. I did it again. If MythDroid wouldn't start, try downloading the
apk again. Sorry!
