Hello Eliseros, The Elisa team is happy to announce a second alpha release of its Windows flavour thus taking another step towards its goal of being truly cross-platform. Updated versions should from now on follow more frequently, with a production release in the next few weeks.
It can be downloaded as usual from the website's download page [1]. Fixed issues from the previous release: * A good amount of playback related crashes are fixed (bug #232002) * Missing codecs are now reported to the user (bug #232194) * Crashes at startup on specific versions of Windows XP are fixed (bug #234827) * USB devices are now properly recognised and browsable (bug #231894) * UPnP shares are automatically discovered and playing back from them now works (bug #231954) * Default media directories handling is fixed (bug #232195) * File and directories encoding issues are partly solved (bug #231891) * Elisa's process is now correctly exiting (bug #231895) * Incorrect DLLs were loaded (bug #233805) Known issues of this release: * Codecs for DirectShow (ffdshow) have to be installed manually in order to play all media files * Sometimes coloured lines appear in the user interface * Audio CDs are detected but playback doesn't work * Some folders' encoding might still prevent them from being browsed * YouTube plugin is deactivated due to user interface locks * Thumbnailing takes more memory and CPU than it should Have a nice day, Florian on behalf of the Elisa team [1] http://elisa.fluendo.com/download/
