Release Notes
Philips Media Manager 3.2.1
Welcome to your Philips Media Manager. PMM offers you the following:

New Features

WMA support:
During installation you will be asked whether you require WMA support. For the moment,
you can only play-out WMA files on the SL50i and the SLA5500. Note that to have WMA
support working you will need to install the latest version of DirectX onto your system.
Existing Features
Subtitle support:
It is possible to show subtitles while viewing a movie (mainly DiVX) on a Streamium device.
Subtitles files need to have the .srt extension. If a subtitle file has the same name as a movie,
the file will be automatically picked up by PMM. You can also manually select a subtitle file
by selecting "Edit Subtitle Information" in the context menu of a video item in PMM.
Favorites:
PMM offers the user an easy way to mark certain audio, video and pictures files as favorites.
All these files are shown in a folder called "Favorites". You can mark files as favorite by
dragging them to this folder. Favorites will appear as such on your Streamium device and can
be managed from there as well using the favorites buttons on your remote control.
Multiple language support:
You can change the language of Philips Media Manager from the General tab in the Settings
menu. The new language will be effective after an (automatic) restart of PMM. If PMM is
configured for a language different than used during installation, it will automatically
download help files in the selected language from the Internet.
New options during the installation of PMM:
During installation of PMM, you can now select whether PMM should be added to the
Windows start-up folder, whether to create icons on the desktop and in the quick launch bar
and whether PMM should be started straight away after installation.
Media Types:
Philips Media Manager provides three content categories: Music, Pictures and Movies. Each
section will operate very similarly, including support for playlists, picture albums and movie
collections.
Pictures:
Watch your content by thumbnail within the application (no separate window). You can select
the view (thumbnail or list) of the items in a picture album or movie collection. JPEG, GIF
and BMP are supported.
Movies:
The Movies section supports MPEG 1, 2, and 4, and DiVX 3, 4 and 5 as well as XVid.
Movies will playback in a separate window by launching the default application of Windows
associated to the media type.
