CenterStage 0.5 specifications

General:

Photo module (with inline slideshow, see notes)
Music module
Module Transistions (Quartz Composer based)
On Screen Display (OSD)
Zoom in fullscreen playback
Resolution switching in the preferences
Improved skin, optimized for 1280x720. In the future CS will pick the best skin for the current resolution. Feel free to customize the included skin for your screen if needed.
Much faster browsing of media.
Made the screen level "screensaver" and hides the menu instead of "shielded", this makes it play much nicer with other apps, like accepting Cmd+H. You could always have it open but switch to other apps just like FrontRow, and it lets you see Growl notifications.
Hides cursor after a while.
Sync movie between normal mode and fullscreen and back again.
More keyboard control during fullscreen playback (jump in time, etc)
A LOT of new features in the CSColumnBrowser Inspector in Interface Builder. Provides much more freedom when creating skins.
Added more meta data to the movie module.
Notes:
DVD Playback does not work. A dot release will re-enable this.
Fullscreen slideshows does not work in the photo module yet.
VIDEO_TS folder as well subtitle support is coming.
Shuffle playback of media is also in the works.
Scrollbar and knob is not yet skinnable
Only the General Preferences section has any settings
We choose to disable Diggoryâ€™s Radio Shark module since it is still a work in progress, you can check out the code from svn and compile if you want to try it.
