Version 6.8.0 released

Post by SubJunk »

General:

You can download it from the front page.

It improves the first time wizard, fixes Java 9 support on Windows, improves CoverArtArchive integration, improves 4k support, and more!


Changes since 6.7.4:
  • General:
    • Added shared folder selection to the wizard
    • Improved matching of results from CoverArtArchive
    • Improved text in the wizard
    • Fixed detection of Java Runtime Environment 9 on Windows
    • Fixed charset handling during subtitle conversions
    • Fixed video not always transcoding when encoded audio passthrough is used
    • Fixed an exception if the renderer replied to GetProtocolInfo but didn't include sink
    • Formatting in UMS.conf
    • Various bug fixes
  • Languages:
    • Added Bengali translation (empty for now, please contribute to it on Crowdin!)
    • Improved support for Japanese characters
  • Renderers:
    • Added 4k support to VLC for iOS
    • Added support for sending 4k MP4 videos to PS4 natively

Compatibility notes:

These releases work on all versions of Java 7 onwards.
The Windows releases work on Windows Vista onwards. We are working on supporting older versions.
