With version 2.4 we offer additional configuration options for the home content (just select the gear symbol in menu editor). The existing menu editor (menu key or right mouse on any menu item) offers already a comfortable way to arrange the menu. In case of list views basic details are shown within the focus area, if details are hidden. If media details are hidden, the full screen is used for the arrangement of the media items and only very basic details are shown in bottom left of grid views as already known from home screen. Changes performed in the dialog are having immediate response in the background making it easy to observe the effect.

Previously several options like watched flags could only be changed globally, everything can be set individually for every screen in a new intuitive view mode dialog now. The view mode configuration was completely reworked and replaces many obsolete skin settings. Integrated news, weather information and management for your digital images complete this software package. MediaPortal 2.4 also provides access to online video sources such as Netflix and Amazon Prime. Info is automatically downloaded from various sources to provide posters, fanart, album art, and various additional metadata, such as cast, staff, and more.

Aside from its support for Live TV and Radio, it offers a complete media server for music, movies, and series. MediaPortal 2.4 is a full-blown media center software that addresses most common user requirements out of the box. De release notes voor deze uitgave kunnen hieronder worden gevonden. Door middel van plug-ins en extensies kan de functionaliteit worden uitgebreid en kan de look & feel van het programma worden aangepast. Ook kunnen tv-programma's worden opgenomen. Zo kan op een eenvoudige manier naar radio en muziek worden geluisterd, en naar video's en dvd's worden gekeken.

Met dit programma kan een Windows-machine als hart van de multimediahardware in de huiskamer worden gebruikt.
