Changelog for kawaii-player-5.0.0.1-bp154.1.2.noarch.rpm :

* Wed Dec 30 2020 Luigi Baldoni - Update to version 5.0.0-1
* Added support for libvlc as playback engine
* Added support for INPUT_IPC_SERVER for mpv binary
* One can change default config directory. Add new config directory path to ~/.config/kawaii-player/new_home.txt and restart application.
* Deprecating Slave mode for mpv binary. Users should use mpv input ipc server. In other_options.txt set MPV_INPUT_IPC_SERVER=True.
* opengl-cb api will be deprecated and no longer will be supported from now on. Users need to install pympv to use libmpv backend
* Sat Jul 13 2019 Luigi Baldoni - Update to version 4.2.0-1 New Features:
* When using libmpv, it is possible to show transparent widgets (ie playlist, titlelist, control frame etc..) directly on video. This property is available in Preferences->Appearance->Widgets on video.
* In dark theme, users can manually change color of background and control frame. Few combinations are available by default Preferences->Appearance->Try. Users can choose any color, but most likely only dark shade of any color may look good on this theme (along with bold fonts).
* Added Playlist Continue option in Preferences->Player Bug fixes and modifications:
* fixed: cache pause seconds option when using libmpv
* fixed: irregular global font size by fixing stylesheet
* It is possible to pass http headers as dictionary to ccurl function
* No need to restart the application whenever changing mpv config options from Preferences, when using libmpv. (However, changing some options like vo/ao may need restart) Feature removal:
* Setting external player from Preferences has been removed. Option is still available, but user will need to manually edit the config files.
* Music mode deprecated. As one can use detached video mode as music mode, the music mode somewhat became irrelevant. Moreover it became buggy and difficult to maintain over the time.
* Mon Jun 17 2019 Luigi Baldoni - Update to version 4.1.0-1 New Features:
* Thumbnail wall mode now applicable for both titlelist and playlist. (Thumbnail wall mode is lighter and faster compared to regular thumbnail grid mode, press F1 to switch to this mode).
* Change number of thumbnails in each row using keys - and =
* automatic resizing of thumbnails in thumbnail wall mode on widget resize Bug fixes:
* Fixed: constant reappearance of cursor after fixed duration (in full-screen mode) on linux
* Fixed: UI lock when libmpv could not generate thumbnails/preview due to corrupted file
* Fixed: Automatic subtitle loading in pc-to-pc casting mode when using libmpv
* Fixed: Maximum recursion depth limit error when window title is not available
* Fixed: UnicodeEncodeError when sending playlist in pc-to-pc casting mode from master to slave
* Multiple bug-fixes when using libmpv backend Modifications and improvements:
* Allow setting timeout in wait_for_property
* Generate new tokens for every playlist, when sending items from master to slave in pc-to-pc casting mode
* Allow adding external audio by using command add-external-audio. Add keyboard shortcut to this command in the Shortcuts settings.
* Sat May 25 2019 Luigi Baldoni - Update to version 4.0.0-1 New Features:
* Experimental support for directly using libmpv as backend, instead of binary.
* For generating preview and thumbnails, libmpv will be used by default.
* Automatically prevent screen turn off or screensaver when playing video.
* Removed variable_width_list property, since it is not required now. Application will automatically resize widgets when screen changes, on dual monitor/screen setup, even if application is placed on non-primary screen.
* Added Device Pixel Ratio property in preferences. By default it is set to 1.0. For high resolution displays, it will be greater that 1.0. For retina displays it is 2.0. If video is appearing smaller then increase this value, when using libmpv as backend. If not sure, set it to 0.0, and application will try to adjust this value automatically.
* Support added for both opengl-cb and opengl-render api of libmpv.
* Accurate live preview and improved gapless playback of network streams when using libmpv New Dependencies (names are given as per PyPI packages):
* PyOpenGL
* PyQtWebEngine (This is separate package now and won\'t be included in default PyQt5 installation) Optional dependency:
* pympv (If user wants to use latest opengl-render api of libmpv) Use of libmpv with kawaii-player:
* python-mpv package, written by github user jaseg, with minor modifications. No need to install it separately. The main file with minor modifications is included in the kawaii-player.
* pympv. This package is optional and needs to be installed from PyPI, if user wants to use latest rendering api of mpv. Notes:
* Those who want to use mpv/mplayer binaries, they can still use it. Support for binary mpv/mplayer won\'t be deprecated in the application. Advantage of using libmpv (apart from making cleaner code) is that, it will make application work better and uniform across all platforms (gnu/linux, windows and mac).
* Playing video within thumbnails, won\'t work with libmpv as of now. So this feature has been disabled for libmpv, but it works as usual when using mpv binary.
