We are happy to announce a new public release, V2.5.55, of the 1Channel/PrimeWire Add

[Kimbo]

Major New Features:

The ablility to browse, manage, and play media from public and private PrimeWire playlists, including using a private playlist as your TV subscription list (See Change Log for details).
The ability to specify each subscription item should only be run on certain days of the week.
Ability to backup & restore the 1Channel DB.

Updating:
If you already have tknorris's release repository installed, then the update should happen automatically. If not, you can install that repository to install this (and future) public releases of the 1Channel/PrimeWire Addon.


Missing Themes/Icons?
One major change in this release is we have split the addon themes (i.e. pretty menu pictures) out into a separate addon called 1Channel Themepak. This has reduced the size of the update package by over 93%. This should cut down dramatically on the update issues people get during a new release. However, the consequence is the 1Channel.Themepak addon needs to be installed separately if you want to be able to see the menu icons for your chosen theme in the addon. The Themepak can be installed in two ways:

1. If you have tknorris's release repository installed, then from the main XBMC Menu, Go to System->Add Ons->Get Add-ons->All Add-ons->Program Add-ons->1Channel Themepak->Install
2. If you already have the tvaddon's "Addon Installer Adddon" installed, then you can select the "Install 1Channel Themes/Icons" menu item on the main menu of the 1Channel addon itself.


Regardless of which way you install the themepak addon, once it's installed you should see the icons again and be able to change your active theme in the 1Channel settings.
***Please note, that the themepak has NO EFFECT on the pictures and backgrounds that show up for Movies and TV Shows.***

I looked, and I'm already on 2.5.63. I don't use 1channel all that often, but it had some struggles a few weeks ago, and now the main developer is tknorris... make sure you find and install his repository to get the most recent updates.

I was looking for 2.5.63, I have TKnorris repository and their site and I could not find anything on it. wild!!! the above post was done by Tknorris today so I guess 2.2.55 still running.

Weird. tknorris also had a different development repository, but on his release repository he has 2.5.55 . Maybe they retreated.
