Update: Ellipsis Beta 1.1 for XBMC
Posted 9:56pm Monday 7th December 2009 by Blackbolt

We've done a few fixes thanks to those awesome people on our forums and also over at the XBMC forums. Thank you so much for a very successful first weekend. There's been a mix of positive and constructive critisim and we've taken a lot of ideas onboard for the near future. Fix list below for Beta 1.1:

Fixed:
  • Shutdown menu arrows missing.
  • The Nav Guide crashed Linux version of XBMC.
  • Plugin Settings, can now select ok/cancel.
  • When bringing up the dock on the bottom of the screen on some views it overlaps the info of the media.
  • Time Theme is now behind background visualisation and video.
  • Clock fixed for all languages.
  • Various missing translations.
  • Unicode Fonts (we hope!) Let us know

Added:
  • OpenSubtitle OSD support.
This build is Beta 1.1 and is now available for download here on the Ellipsis Project page.



Release: Ellipsis Beta One for XBMC
Posted 7:27pm Friday 4th December 2009 by XBMCG33K

Finally, after 12 long months of development, some would say years, we've made it. With many thanks to the recent closed beta, the testers where able to find some bugs, suggest new ideas and generally play their part in making this first public release much better.

To use Beta One, you will need to have the very latest release of XBMC, we recommend at very least, Camelot Beta 1. Using older builds of XBMC will cause some elements of Ellipsis to be shown incorrectly. We recommend third-party builds from here until official builds are available, remember use at your own risk. We also recommend you visit the Team Blackbolt Beta section for more important information related to using the beta.

So without further delay I present:

Ellipsis Beta One (December 4th 2009) [17.3MB] (Download Unavailable due to updates)

Ellipsis Beta One Release Date
Posted 9:49pm Monday 16th November 2009 by Blackbolt


For over a week or so now, we've been testing Ellipsis in a closed beta program. With the help of testers we've been able to fix bugs, add much needed features we left out and also improve our designs and graphics. Due to the excellent response from the testers we're confident we will be able to release Ellipsis to everyone Friday December 4th 2009.

Some time in the evening (UK Time) we will go live with what has been one of the most interesting projects we've worked on. So we hope you will join us then and enjoy what we've created. Before then you can look forward to a preview video by ActionCorp.TV, the guys who did the podcast preview for MC360, we'll let you know when thats available. Just keep an eye on this site.
