Release 0.9.0 Screenshots and Videos

The 0.9.0 release is the first stable release of the PiBox media systems: PiBox Media Server and PiBox Media Player. The only software difference between the two is the server provides access point support to act as a router in a closed network of server and players. Future releases will extend these differences based on targeted hardware for each.

Image	Description
Attach: devplatform.png Δ	The default desktop for the PiBox Development Platform. This is what it looks like before you add the PiBoxMediaServerUI package, which is in the set of add on packages required to go from the Development Platform to a Media Server or Media Player.
	The default desktop uses the PiBox Development Platform background image. This will change with the next (0.10.0) release to a modified version of the MIOT splash image. The desktop is based on Matchbox 0.9. The icons across the top provide the following functions: X Restart Network Configuration Video Playback Terminal The X Restart is required due to a boot time problem where the first X session doesn't accept keyboard input. That will be fixed eventually.
	The Access Point configuration in the Network Config tool is used to configure a PiBox Media Server to provide DHCP support to PiBox Media Players using WPA2 secured connections. Use of the Access Point requires that the Media Server be configured with the static IP address of 192.168.3.1 though this restriction is expected to be removed in a future release.
	The Network Config tool allows DHCP or Static configuration of a network interface. When a PiBox Media Player is used with a PiBox Media Server this should be set to DHCP and the Wireless configuration configured to match the Media Player access point configuration.
	The Network Config tools Static configuration allows common address configuration for a network interface.
	The Network Config tool allows DHCP or Static configuration of a wireless connection. When a PiBox Media Player is used with a PiBox Media Server this should be set to DHCP and the Wireless configuration configured to match the Media Player access point configuration.
	PiBox Media devices provide a terminal function for debugging purposes. Future versions will remove this option but make it available at a users discretion.
	The Video Front End (videofe) to omxplayer. VideoFE is a GTK+ application that reads a database generated by VideoLib from the media directories on the local PiBox. Each PiBox (Media Server or Media Player) is capable of mounting any other PiBox's SMB exported directories so you can place the media sticks on any PiBox device and the others will see it.
	The Video Lib (videolib) application generates a database for your video library using TheMovieDB.org data. The database it generates is stored at the top of the specified video directory. Browse to the media stick directory and have Video Lib make automated guesses at movie titles, then you clean up the selections before saving the database.

Videos

These videos are the first ones created and are not as good as they should be. The camera does a lot of auto-focusing (can't find how to turn that off yet) which can get annoying and takes the picture out of focus every now and then. But it's a start.
