During the last weeks I fixed several small bugs and glitches.

The most important feature that will be included in the next beta release is a
new multimedia display API (MMD).

This API along with a matching skin, will turn the MediaCenter into an
interactive platform, where the driver decides what to display and how.

This can be a jukebox, that only plays a track when getting a signal from coin
slot. Also a product information display like you can find in many shops, where
you can search and browse though the products to get additional information and
alternate products.

Its design leaves the where and what up to the MMD driver. So data can be stored
locally on disk, changeable on card or obtained via network. This allows to
flexible update all information stands at once without changing local media or
update data on each system.

Since the MMD driver is only the interface between database and MediaCenter it
can even be used as a shop itself. Imagine an Efika based information stand or
television set that allows you to order products right away.

Of course this will take some time to implement and there is much more on to do
list. Stay tuned while waiting for updated pictures.
