And, in case you don't know, here's an overview of its features:

* Playback of video and audio
* Javascript plugins
* Unified search
* View photos and images in slideshow mode
* Live TV streaming from Tvheadend
* Spotify integration

Showtime can browse and play files from these type of sources:

* Local file system
* UPnP/DLNA servers, such as Twonky, MediaTomb, MiniDLNA or Window Media Player
* Webdav and HTTP servers
* Showtime also offers transparent decompression and browsing of ZIP and RAR archives

Applications:

* New applications can be implemented in a whim thanks to Showtime's Javascript based plugin framework.
* See the Apps tab for a full list of all available applications.

Video playback:

* Showtime supports all video formats supported by libav
* DVD playback from DVD drive or direct from ISO files
* OpenGL accelerated deinterlacing
* Cell/SPU accelerated h264 decoding

Audio playback:

* Playback of audio tracks works pretty much as expected. Starting to play from a view will continue to play following the track until the end.
* Showtime supports all audio formats supported by libav which includes mainstream formats such as MP3, AAC (m4a), OGG, FLAC, WAV, WMA.
* In addition it supports SID tunes via sidplay2 and video game music files via libgme.
* Also, playing directly from a good old CD works just fine.
