Showtime v3.1.3 Unofficial Build by redsquirrel87

We know it can be awhile before an official build of Andreas Öman's Showtime Home Theater System is released, and in the mean time the program is being developed and added to. Today @redsquirrel87 tweets: "Showtime Repack v3.1.3 (Unofficial Build) Showtime Repack Unofficial Builds". Now you can have a spot to pick up the latest unofficial build of Showtime. For more information on Showtime, visit the author's website, lonelycoder. Again, this is an unofficial build and should be used with caution, and at your own risk!

To quote redsquirrel87:

From this page you can download the unofficial versions of Showtime, useful to try the new features immediately, without having to wait for the (rare) official releases.
"Unofficial" simply means that this versions have been compiled from sources taken from the official GIT, so, in other words, they are still under development. For this reason, they are not fully tested and/or 100% optimized for the PS3 (remember, Showtime is a multiplatform project and the author himself has admitted that his work is based on the Linux version and only later he adapts it for other versions) and so they may cause crashes or freezes in your console.
Try them only at your own risk.

Note: Due to the frequency of these builds releases, I decided to post them only in a way: the version that is installed into the "Video" menu with old ICON0.PNG

Changelog:

(since v3)
httpclient: Support relative redirects
textrendering: Rework face <-> family mapping to work better.
glw: Better routing of URL to texture load queues

Download (below): Showtime v3.1.3 (Jul 11, 2011)

this is just the last andoma's revision from git compiled by redsquirrel87, or he (redsquirrel87) made some changes on it?

I changed nothing in the application's source code! So all credits go to the original authors: Showtime overview

from Showtime Repack Unofficial Builds

The actual program may be the same but once installed the launch icon will be under either the "Video" or "TV" tab in the XMB.

I'm waiting for someone to sort out covers for video files! I'm trying my best to understand how the code works but I'm getting no where! I have however sorted out what the covers will look like etc as I'm a designer not programmer.Video cover art in Showtime will make my day!!!!!

Oh, an Internet thug...

Sorry for the obvious question but, i cant see the reason to name it unofficial when it is just a compiled/packed straight from official repository.
i dont think this news deserve to be on the front page, when i can compile it by myself. anybody can.

I'll tell you what would be better than making this look like XBMC would be porting XBMC over to the PS3. That is something everyone would hop onto. The functionality that XBMC had with the original XBOX was incredible, if they(the talented devs working on these projects) could bring that along with the GUI that XBMC had, really if they could just port XBMC to the PS3 with all of the functions we remember and love from XBMC would be out of this world. If you happen to be a dev working on such a project my hopes and heart are with you. Without you where would we be with the PS3 be, absolutely nowhere!!

Its not an official release because it was compiled from an unstable source.

About XBMC on the PS3 I think it should stay where it is since they gave up on the Xbox like they did. I like the simpleness of Showtime cause there are less things to break when updates are done. Since the PS3 has a small amount of RAM then keeping it simple will let it function better. With XBMC on the xbox if it was set to a higher resolution then stuff would start to lag and I know the original xbox had alot less ram but also it did not play at true HD quality. IF I had to choose a media center app for it to be more like I would choose WiiMC over XBMC.

is it just me or does the showtime logo sorta look like the triforce from zelda.?

What would it take to write an icefilms plugin for showtime, anyone know? I mean netflix is a bust on ps3 if it jailbroken, and even when we have real 3d drivers for otherOS++, netflix is just about the only thing that linux can't do. Icefilms is great and free. The channels plugin for PMS has icefilms, but its diffcult to get/keep working, and your basically streaming a stream when doing it that way. If anyone has knolege of where to begin in developing a ice films plugin for showtime, please msg me. Would it be viable to some how adapt the xbmc plugin? Or is it best to start fresh.
