v0.2.1 Sage Symphony

A New Look

• XMPlayer now uses Figtree as the main font.
  • Figtree makes text easier and cleaner to read on smaller screens, also giving the app a friendlier personality.
  • Text spacing is slightly wider, improving accessibility.
• New Background Option: Ribbon
  • Inspired by PS3's XMB menu background. This reimagination renders ribbons as colorful irregular flames.
• New Default Wallpaper: Sage Vista
  • A new HD 16:9 wallpaper honors this release's name. Felt like this app could use some more Frutiger Aero (Eco), so here you go!
• Simpler Elegant Design for Volume/Brightness Displays

Video

• New controls for mpv by @vanbagaria

MENU + Up/Down	Seek +-15min
MENU + Left/Right	Seek Video Chapters
MENU + A	Take Screenshot

• mpv's subtitle position and scale can now be adjusted from Video Settings. Suggested by @vanbagaria
• New options to loop video folders and/or watchlists for mpv are now available in Video Settings.
• For clamshells running muOS, closing the lid now pauses the video on mpv.
• Fix Play All / Shuffle Play not working on folders and watchlists with very large number of videos.

Music

• Fix music files with ID3v2.3 or Vorbis metadata may not be processed properly.

Experimental PortMaster Builds

• Starting from v0.2.0 Symphony, PortMaster will be a build target for XMPlayer, providing support for muOS and now Knulli, Rocknix, EmuELEC, dArkOS, etc.
• .muxapp releases will still be available. .muxapp (muOS app) is the recommended installation option for muOS users.
• Note that some features are still WIP in the PortMaster builds because of CFW-specific configurations. You can check the current compatibility information here.
• Feel free to visit the testing threads on Discord and muOS Community Forum for updates!

Built-in Video Player Test Build

This is an unstable test build of XMPlayer with a built-in video player that uses just ffmpeg for video/audio decoding and nothing else. Performance is terrible, but at least should work with devices that don't come with any video player core by default. Use with caution!

v0.1.3 Beta

Theme Customization

• Introducing Dynamic Wallpapers: Scrolling & Seamless!
  • Scrolling: Moves horizontally as you navigate between tabs on the XMB menu.
    Widescreen images work best. Custom wallpapers made for PSP work surprisingly well too!

    Need an idea? The full panorama of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
• Wallpaper brightness can now adjusted to be even darker or brighter.
• Visibility of track info background now does not depend on using a wallpaper. It is now independently configurable from Theme Settings > Track Info Background.

Music

• Fix audio playback sometimes not immediately responding to playback controls.

Other

• Fix gptokeyb2 binary not being able to locate necessary PortMaster libraries when app is installed on SD2 but library paths were not exported properly.
  Special thanks to RZI3D on the muOS Community Forum thread for the bug report.
• Removed problematic GIF support, which caused crashes. Will be added back in later releases with proper support.
  I wanted to add the Peter Griffin on red bull dancing gif as the wallpaper but this caused a crash🤦‍♂️

v0.1.2 Beta

• Updated audio backend.
  • Now audio playback is handled on seperate thread, so tracks load much faster without freezing the UI.
