Changes from 1.9.11 to 1.9.12:

Changes/additions/improvements:

  • Changed default setting for subtitle texture resolution. This change only affects playback on screens with 4K resolution. In that case subtitles are now rendered at 1080p resolution (and then scaled to final size). This improves performance on such systems. You can of course change the setting to 4k if you prefer slightly sharper subtitles.
  • Some improvements related to the youtube-dl support.
  • Added support for downloading subtitles for streams extracted by youtube-dl. You can specify desired subtitle language(s) here: Options > Advanced
  • Strips html tags when found in SRT subtitles.
  • Added prompt when enabling OpenSubtitle option, mentioning than an account is required on their website.
  • Removed SubDB subtitle provider. Their site has been offline for a long time.
  • Removed obsolete RealMedia and QuickTime decoding frameworks. These frameworks were only available in 32-bit builds, and they were not used by default. For a long time already, these type of files are played using the superior internal DirectShow codecs. So nothing really changes and you can still play everything!

Fixes:

  • Fixed issue where recent file list could get cleared when opening a file with a very long path.
  • Several other small fixes and improvements.

Note:
1.9.12.4 hotfix resolves two regressions that occurred in 1.9.12:

  • Low quality subtitles in certain situations
  • Video display issue when moving player to a larger resolution monitor

1.9.12.10 has some additional fixes:

  • Fixed a rare player freeze when manually loading subtitles. Could happen on very old systems if subpic texture allocation failed.
  • Fixed "launch in fullscreen" option not working when D3D fullscreen exclusive mode was enabled.
  • Fixed issue where a chosen audio dub was not loaded when opening a video through the File menu
