4.3.30

Add multi language support to TheTVDB integration

Fixes #1544

Fix recent regression causing vertical lines in images on PS3

Fixes #1617

4.3.207

Fix bug making 'Refresh metdata...' option in item menu not to work at all

4.3.206

Avoid loading .mkv attachments into RAM

Instead we keep a reference to where in the MKV file the attachment is located and we can later open a slice of the mkv-file as the attachment.

This combined with the fact that freetype can open fonts from a file handle reduces the static memory use for attachments to 0 bytes

Fixes #1689 (out of memory (av error -12) with certain MKV files)

4.3.203

Initial attempt of a built-in FTP client in Showtime

To use it enter 'ftp://ip.address.of.ftpserver' in search bar or create a bookmark (much like the CIFS/SMB client)

Note that the code has only been tested against a few FTP servers so it's probably still buggy. If you find any problems and want to report please turn on "FTP logging" in settings:dev and include the logfile in ticket.

4.3.20

Add support for sorting on filename and date when browsing over UPNP
