Admin 347 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 New release, v1.5 Glad to announce that today we've released a new version of the Windows 8.1 app. This time it’s mostly about playback and minimizing the the server cpu usage. Thanks to changes made in the server on the latest release combined with changes in the app we can now play mp4’s and avi’s directly without the need to transcode nor remux if the codecs are supported natively. That means that we now also support ac3 5.1 audio. J We’ve also improved the Playback OSD to give you information on Codecs/Resolution and wether we Transcode, Remux or Directplay If you’re already using the app, make sure to change your settings for transcoding to max to fully test the new playback features. (Charms menu -> Settings -> Streaming) Other news: Local trailers for movies. Improved musicplayback view with seeking Backdrop image on actors view. Bugfixes And thanks to our translators we’ve also added new languages, The app now also supports Russian, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Czech. (German will follow in a few days) You can get the app from here: http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/app/media-browser/ad55a2f0-9897-47bd-8944-bed3aefd5d06 View the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
