+

+

+Version 16.7

+

+ * Fix for YouTube.

+ * Some bug fixes mainly for Qt 5.

+

+

+Version 16.6

+

+ * Support for 2 in 1 computers with touch screens.

+   SMPlayer includes now a 'tablet mode', available in the menu Options.

+   When the option is turned on it makes some changes in the interface

+   so that it would be easier to control SMPlayer by touching the

+   screen.

+   When the user changes the tablet mode in the Windows 10 action

+   center, SMPlayer will detect it and ask if it should switch to the

+   SMPlayer's tablet mode as well.

+ * Option to send video to an external screen.

+   Now it's possible to send the video to a second screen connected to

+   the computer, while controlling the application in the computer's

+   screen.

+ * Support for high DPI screens.

+   On high DPI (dots per inch) screens SMPlayer looked very tiny. Now

+   the interface is automatically scaled so it looks correctly. There

+   are also settings in Preferences -> Interface -> High DPI where you

+   can adjust manually the scale factor or turn off this feature.

+ * Global shortcuts.

+   Now it's possible to use the media keys (play/pause, stop, volume+/-,

+   etc.) as global shortcuts. That means that those keys will work even

+   when SMPlayer is in the background. You can activate this option in

+   Preferences -> Keyboard and mouse.

+ * Settings are remembered for online streams too.

+   This means that, for example, SMPlayer can resume playback or set

+   bookmarks on YouTube videos or other online streams (as long as they

+   are seekable).

+ * SMPlayer is now built with Qt 5 by default.

+

+

+Version 16.4

+

+ * The Windows installer now includes mpv as well.

+ * Now it's easier to switch between mplayer and mpv (Preferences -> General,

+ * Possibility to use the VLC shortcuts. (Preferences -> Keyboard and

+   mouse, click the load button, select vlc.keys)

+ * Possibility to enable mouse gestures (when the mouse is dragged up or down

+   in the video window the volume changes. If dragged left or right it

+   changes the time position).

+   You can enable this option in Preferences -> Keyboard and

+   mouse -> Mouse -> Drag function: seek and volume.

+ * A fix for saving bookmarks.

+ * The option for streaming sites in Preferences -> Network is

+   different now, and allows these values:

+     Disabled: support for video sites is turned off

+     Auto: enables the internal support for YouTube and uses mpv + youtube-dl

+     for the rest of sites

+     YouTube: only the internal support for YouTube will be used

+     mpv + youtube-dl: uses mpv + youtube-dl for all sites

+ * An animated icon has been added in the status bar to indicate when the player

+   is buffering.

+ * A new layout is used to display the media information (Options -> View info and

+   properties).

+

+

+Version 16.1

+

+ * Fix for YouTube.

+ * The screenshots work again with older versions of mplayer/mpv.

+ * Possibility to add bookmarks (menu Browse), which allows to mark your

+   favorite parts of the video for a quick access.

+   Preferences -> Interface.

+   the mouse position.

+ * Now there's an option in the configuration of the find subtitles window

+   which allows to specify if the language code should be appended to the

+   subtitle filename.

+ * (Fix for Windows) The main window will be centered if it's partially

+   outside of the desktop after an auto resize.

+ * When adding files to the playlist the first item is moved to its

+   correct place in the list.

+ * (Experimental) New action to start/stop capturing the playback stream.

+   The captured stream will be saved to the folder specified in

+   the smplayer.ini option "capture_directory" with the name

+   capture_NNNN.dump.

+   It only works correctly with mpeg. With other formats the

+   dumped stream won't play back.

+ * Disable the extrastereo and karaoke filters when using mpv.

+

+

+Version 15.9

+

+ * Support for the 3D stereo filter.

+ * (Windows) The autoload of subtitles with non latin1 filenames has been 

+   fixed.

+ * The Windows installer gives the possibility to delete most of the

+   configuration files of smplayer. This can be useful if the configuration

+   files have been corrupted or smplayer has been misconfigured.

+   Linux users can use the command "smplayer -delete-config".

+ * Several other bugfixes. See the Changelog for details.

+

+

+Version 0.8.5.

+  customized. It's possible to select the font, size, colors, bold,

+  Specification for the config files. That means the now the configuration

+  files will be saved under the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer (or 

+  $HOME/.config/smplayer if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined). 

+  If you want to keep your preferences, copy or move the files from 

+  $HOME/.smplayer to the new location.

+* Added some options in Preferences->Interface to configure the floating 

+  control.

+* The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with

+  -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store

+

+

+Version 0.6.3.1 (release for Windows only)

+

+This release includes a fix for an important bug in 0.6.3 which affected

+the version for Windows: the video window would be black on the first

+video played, or always if the user opened the preferences dialog before

+playing a video. In those cases "directx," was used as video driver but

+the -colorkey option was not passed to mplayer producing the problem.

+Windows Vista probably wasn't affected by this bug, as it uses a

+different video driver as default.

+

+

+Version 0.6.3.

+

+Most important changes since 0.6.2 (see the Changelog for the whole list):

+

+ * Two fixes for Windows Vista. Now IPv4 is used by default (connection to

+   networks are faster). And now it really uses "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" 

+   as the default video output driver. Note: this mode could give problems 

+   with some graphic cards (specially ATI), if you experience any, try the

+   other gl variants, or just directx.

+ * (Linux) Added a fix for a black screen problem when using Compiz.

+ * Added an option to select the number of threads that mplayer will use for

+   decoding (only works for MPEG-1/2 and some H.264 videos).

+ * Added the possibility to disable the audio equalizer. Seems to be necessary

+   to use the S/PDIF output.

+ * Added some options to increase/decrease the speed by 1% and 4%. This allows

+   to play 24 fps movies at 25 fps speed and vice versa.

+ * Fix: sometimes the playlist is not shown. Added a workaround for the problem.

+ * Added some checks to avoid crashes when selecting subtitle tracks.

+ * (Windows) Added a new submenu Video->Screen to select the screen which will

+   display the video when using directx.

+ * The settings in smplayer.ini have been reorganized in several sections. 

+   (This also means most of your preferences will be lost and you will have to 

+   reconfigure smplayer again).

+ * Added an option to mirror the video. And now it's also possible to flip and

+   rotate the subtitles along with the image.

+ * Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) which can be loaded in the shortcut 

+   editor in preferences.

+ * Added two new translations: Arabic and Kurdish.

+

+

+Version 0.6.2.

+

+   the configuration file. A graphical editor will be added in the next

+   version. See Configuring_the_toolbars.txt.

+ * The single instance port can now be chosen automatically by the application.

+ * Possibility to compile a portable version which (by default) won't write

+   in the Windows registry. See Portable_Edition.txt for details.

+

+

+Version 0.6.1.

+

+Most important changes since 0.6.0 final:

+

+ * Now compact mode resizes the window, instead of leaving black borders.

+ * Added an option in Preferences->Interface which allows the user to select

+   his/her preferred GUI. This way it's easier to use the mini GUI, for those

+   who prefer a simpler interface with few buttons.

+ * One more fix for Qt 4.4. The option FAQ in the Help menu didn't work.

+ * (Windows) Fix: zoom didn't work well (black blocks appeared) if using 

+   directx.

+

+

+Version 0.6.0 final.

+

+Most important changes since 0.6.0rc4:

+

+ * (Bugfix) Two mplayer processes were run when opening a file. This could

+   even make Aero in Windows Vista to be disabled.

+ * Seeking with the time slider works much better.

+ * Now it's possible to add directories recursively to the playlist.

+ * Added a preferences dialog for the playlist.

+ * The right mouse button can be configured.

+ * (Linux) File managers should now display an option to enqueue files in

+   the smplayer playlist.

+ * (Fix) The playlist was shown for a small moment on startup. This caused

+   problems if using compiz, as the window might not hide.

+ * Fix for Qt 4.4, the logo didn't show.

+ * Some translations have been updated (Simplified-Chinese, Italian, 

+   Ukrainian, Dutch, French, Romanian, Portuguese, Polish, Russian, Japanese,

+

+ * (Bugfix) Now DVDs start to play at chapter #1, instead of chapter #2, 

+   if using mplayer 1.0rc2 or older.

+   the recent's menu.

+ * (Bugfix) When using the command line options -send-action or -actions, 

+   some actions like aspect_4:3 didn't work.

+ * Initial support for edl files. If a file with the same name of the file 

+   to play but with extension .edl (or .EDL) exists, then smplayer will load 

+   it automatically. An edl file allows to skip or mute parts of the video.

+ * Possibility to automatically get info (length and name) about the files 

+   added to the playlist. This option is enabled by defaul on linux and

+   disabled on windows (it's slow in this OS).

+ * Added in Preferences->General->Video an option to select the default 

+   deinterlacer.

+ * Added support for the mouse's buttons XButton1 and XButton2.

+ * Some new options have been added to the list of available actions for

+   mouse buttons.

+ * Possibility to merge the 6 seeking buttons in the GUI into only two.

+   It would only show the "rewind 10 secs" and "forward 10 secs" buttons. 

+   Keeping them pressed for a moment would popup menu with the rest of the 

+   buttons. This option is DISABLED by default and currently it can only be 

+   enabled at compile time changing the MINI_ARROW_BUTTONS define in 

+   src/guiconfig.h before compiling.

+

+Version 0.6.0rc2.

+

+This version includes some bugfixes.

+

+Most important changes since 0.6.0rc1:

+   existed in the home directory.

+ * The option Play -> Repeat has been improved.

+ * The selection of chapters in mkv files didn't work well if using a recent

+ * (Windows) Now the screensaver should be disabled even if protected by 

+   password (tested on Windows XP).

+   don't exist. That could cause that URLs were corrupted.

+   in Video->Aspect ratio.

+   version of the filename. This can be enabled in Preferences->Advanced.

+   (720p and above).
