kawaii-player-v3.7.1-1-beta
Pre-release- Last version 3.7.0 was released just few days back, but after that few more features have been added, which, I think, are far more entertaining and more or less complete the PC-To-PC casting feature. Hence, this quick beta-release has been made for testing purpose.
New Features:
-
In above screenshot, user will find that there is slave control tab-box to the left. This tab won't be required from this release. Once user will toggle master/slave button to 'slave' available in extra-toolbar, it is possible to use regular buttons available in lowermost control frame to control slave. Apart from that, seek-slider of master will also be in sync with slave. Users can click on seek-slider of master to change seek position on slave.
-
In PC-To-PC casting feature, one computer is assigned as master and other is assigned as slave, and one can cast videos from master to slave. In this release master/slave toggle feature has been added to the web-interface, to control casting activity from master to slave.
-
Once, user will open web-interface of master using any browser (either desktop or mobile), they will find master/slave toggle button (which will be seen after, clicking R:Off button). Users need to toggle master/slave button available in web-interface and set it to slave, to enable casting of videos from master computer to slave computer via web interface of master.
-
The same web interface will be utilized for controlling other playback activities of slave. In this case, all commands given via web interface will be routed via master computer to slave, hence users will notice some extra time delay. This delay can be small unnoticeable or noticeable depending on network congestion.
-
This setup is particularly useful, if master computer is used as media-server from which we want to cast audio/video/playlists to slave computers, using web interface of master.

Bug fixes
- Few minor bugs fixed in offline mode.
Note: As it is beta release, no binaries will be made available. Users have to build package from source. Binaries will be made available on next proper stable release.
