Version 0.6.3.1 (release for Windows only)
96
This release includes a fix for an important bug in 0.6.3 which affected
97
the version for Windows: the video window would be black on the first
98
video played, or always if the user opened the preferences dialog before
99
playing a video. In those cases "directx," was used as video driver but
100
the -colorkey option was not passed to mplayer producing the problem.
101
Windows Vista probably wasn't affected by this bug, as it uses a
102
different video driver as default.
107
Most important changes since 0.6.2 (see the Changelog for the whole list):
109
* Two fixes for Windows Vista. Now IPv4 is used by default (connection to
110
networks are faster). And now it really uses "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack"
111
as the default video output driver. Note: this mode could give problems
112
with some graphic cards (specially ATI), if you experience any, try the
113
other gl variants, or just directx.
114
* (Linux) Added a fix for a black screen problem when using Compiz.
115
* Added an option to select the number of threads that mplayer will use for
116
decoding (only works for MPEG-1/2 and some H.264 videos).
117
* Added the possibility to disable the audio equalizer. Seems to be necessary
118
to use the S/PDIF output.
119
* Added some options to increase/decrease the speed by 1% and 4%. This allows
120
to play 24 fps movies at 25 fps speed and vice versa.
121
* Fix: sometimes the playlist is not shown. Added a workaround for the problem.
122
* Added some checks to avoid crashes when selecting subtitle tracks.
123
* (Windows) Added a new submenu Video->Screen to select the screen which will
124
display the video when using directx.
125
* The settings in smplayer.ini have been reorganized in several sections.
126
(This also means most of your preferences will be lost and you will have to
127
reconfigure smplayer again).
128
* Added an option to mirror the video. And now it's also possible to flip and
129
rotate the subtitles along with the image.
130
* Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) which can be loaded in the shortcut
131
editor in preferences.
132
* Added two new translations: Arabic and Kurdish.
137
Most important changes since 0.6.1:
139
* Added an audio equalizer (please read Audio_equalizer.txt).
140
* Added a dialog to search and download subtitles from opensubtitles.org
141
(See Finding_subtitles.txt).
142
* The toolbars can be configured. The user can remove, add or change the
143
order of the buttons. Right now it can only be done by editing manually
144
the configuration file. A graphical editor will be added in the next
145
version. See Configuring_the_toolbars.txt.
146
* The single instance port can now be chosen automatically by the application.
147
* Possibility to compile a portable version which (by default) won't write
148
anything outside the smplayer's folder. It won't write either anything
149
in the Windows registry. See Portable_Edition.txt for details.
150
* Added the Slovenian translation.
