Elisa Media Center 0.3.3 released!
By Florian Boucault on Monday 21 January 2008, 20:57 - Free software - Permalink
This is a huge step in the life of the project since this new version features a brand new user interface. It aims at "enhancing the usability of Elisa and also at giving to our users this polished and sophisticated look and feel that makes great software." says the release announcement.
The team did an awesome job to make that new bling happen. Since words will not be as impacting as a video could be, here is a screencast also uploaded on various video sharing websites (YouTube, etc.):
You can also find screenshots and more details about Elisa on the official website.
I really recommend anyone to try it out since the fundamental changes made to the UI have really transformed the user experience. Of course any feedback will be more than welcome!

You should use Clutter or improve Pigment...
Awesome! As soon as this gets PVR capabilities, I'm switching my MythTV box to be an Elisa box.
This is a great improvement, support for the apple remote would be great
but this is a great release. I can now play my theora video files and flac
music files. The UI is also much improved.
One suggestion with the key bindings - perhaps tab could be used to navugate through the different options. I used it and expected it to work - this is the default behaviour in most applications. Also perhaps the escpace key could be used to go back, and finally quit when its pressed at the mian screen?
Hmmm... I hope LIRC works like it worked in 0.3.2...
OMG, UI is slower than ever. And ugly.
I like more the old, simplicity-focused UI.
The new screenshots look a lot nicer than the last interface (which was terribly cumbersome to navigate when you have more than a few files) - I hope my 'humble' P4 2.4ghz/GF5200 media box can keep up with it now
Looks very good. Congratulations to the team.
Looks really good. A tad Apple-esque, but I'll let that pass... Someone needs to invent a cover-flow killer, then we will be safe :P
Possibly if the blue glows in the default theme were replaced with a different colour (white?), it would look less like Front Row.
UI is definitely not slow for me. In fact, I find it way faster than before! Finding a Shoutcast station seems to have improved drastically.
I noticed that it is really difficult (nay: Impossible?!) to get back to the controls for music that is playing if I start viewing pictures. I think there should be a Now Playing UI somewhere, possibly with an extra item in the main menu.

Awesome! As soon as this gets PVR capabilities, I"m switching my MythTV box
