Version 6.5.0 released
Posted: Mon Aug 01, 2016 5:18 pm
General:
You can download it from the front page.
We have added support for LG Blu-ray players and Naim Mu-So wireless audio systems, improved support for Panasonic and Samsung TVs and the VLC app, fixed videos being transcoded too often, fixed a bunch of bugs, and more!
Note: This release reverses a change made years ago to halve bitrates for most renderers which was just confusing. As a result, if you notice stuttering network playback, try reducing the "Maximum bandwidth" setting on the "General Configuration" tab. A value of "30" before would correspond to a value of "15" now.
Some renderers will still have their bitrates halved until they are confirmed to not need it.
Changes since 6.4.0:
