A new update is available. This is a pretty huge update includes bugfixing and new features - some are described below. As usual, please report if you experience any bugs or have feature requests
Rapier 7.2.0 is available through the official XBMC repository!
This update is installed automatically.
If this is not the case, you can download it here.
I'm very sorry, but all paths to custom categories and submenus set using favourites have been broken with this update.
A bug going back several years have finally been fixed. This unfortunately requires you to set the paths to the custom categories and submenus again, but only if they are set using favourites. Only paths are affected, which means that labels, icons, category images, panels (widgets) and backgrounds are not at all harmed. Also paths set using presets, scripts or add-ons are not affected.
This also introduces a new feature to play playlists directly from the home screen.
If you use the feature to export/import skin setting, you have to manually install the add-on script.toolbox
using this link, as the function have been moved to this script.
