Revision History:

Version 0.6.5.1
  • Release Date: Nov 15, 2008
  • The subtitles when using the SSA/ASS library can now be further customized. It's possible to select the font, size, colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow...
  • (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory 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 its data (not only smplayer.ini).
Version 0.6.4
  • Release Date: Oct 25, 2008
  • Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitle file and load it in smplayer automatically.
  • (Linux) The black screen problem when using Compiz should really be fixed now.
  • Added support for encoding autodetection for subtitle files. Requires a mplayer compiled with enca support.
  • (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa (needs the application "aplay").
  • (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with dsound.
  • (Windows) The menu Video->Screen displays now the actual available screens with their names.
  • Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi, video_02.avi..) automatically to the playlist.
  • Bugfix: logout is not cancelled by smplayer.
  • Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message.
  • Now it's possible to change the video track.
  • Added the Galician translation.
Version 0.6.3.1
  • Release Date: Sep 29, 2008
  • 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
  • Release Date: Sep 27, 2008
  • 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
  • Release Date: Aug 15, 2008
  • Added an audio equalizer (please read Audio_equalizer.txt).
  • Added a dialog to search and download subtitles from opensubtitles.org (See Finding_subtitles.txt).
  • The toolbars can be configured. The user can remove, add or change the order of the buttons. Right now it can only be done by editing manuallythe 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 anything outside the smplayer's folder. It won't write either anything in the Windows registry. See Portable_Edition.txt for details.
  • Added the Slovenian translation.
Version 0.6.1
  • Release Date: May 29, 2008
  • 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. * Added the Catalan translation.
