Showtime 'Test Build' v3.99.425 now available

[GaryOPA]

Getting closer to the v4.00 release!

A new 'test build' for Showtime (PS3) has been made available, and that's right, we are so close to v4.0!

For those who don't know, Showtime by LonelyCoder, is a media player for use on HTPC media centers, and its available on Linux, OS/X and, of course, on the PS3.

It has been a while since the latest Stable release, and while the upcoming v4.00 isn't yet ready, you can always try the Test Builds, if you don't mind a few bugs but want the latest features.

Here are a few things that have changed since the latest Stable Build:

3.99.409-g20156fe

ps3: Rework button handling a bit on the six axis controller

* Select + Directional buttons will move items (when possible)
Currently this can be done on the home screen

* Select + Triangle will switch view (if possible)
Not many pages comes with multiple views at the moment

* Pressing harder on the buttons will increase the repeat rate, thus
Pressing harder -> Scrolling faster (our work is never over)

3.99.407-gc1c9309

Switched to a tile based home screen

3.99.349-gf470154

ps3: Add auto power off after inactivity
