Item description:

multiMAN's Showtime editions are builds compiled by deank using the latest bleeding edge trunk of Movian, with minor changes that allow better integration with multiMAN/mmCM (and IRISMAN).​

The main changes that I have noticed in the unofficial build from deank are
XMB Videos & Last Folder visible in Movian (Showtime)
Direct Disc Access (I think the recent builds of Movian also include these features too)
Support for auto-start playing a moving, reading the file: ./TEMP/SHOWTIME.TXT (this feature is exploited also by IRISMAN)
Plugins and SELF are stored inside the backup manager's folder.
Exit from the application return to the backup manager, instead of exit to XMB.
Note: If updated using the Movian's update option, it will lose the features above and updated to the official project.

Sometimes mM's Showtime builds show performance warning during the playback of movies that Movian don't present. I guess that this is due a difference in the compilation settings (or tools) used by andoma.​

Showtime is a media player for use on HTPC media centers. It is primarily intended to be controlled via keypad input such as a IR or bluetooth remote control, keyboards, etc but works also very well with a pointer device.

These files are also available for download from the "UPDATE" Showtime option in XMMB Video column of multiMAN.

This SELF can be used in other homebrews like IRISMAN.
