Major features for this release
- Added support for Raspberry-Pi 4+
- Added support for libvlc as playback engine (mainly for raspberry-pi)
- Added support for INPUT_IPC_SERVER for mpv binary (tested only on GNU/Linux and OSX)
- One can change default config directory. Add new config directory path to
~/.config/kawaii-player/new_home.txt
and restart application.
Deprecating
- Deprecating Slave mode for mpv binary. Users should use mpv input ipc server. In
other_options.txt
setMPV_INPUT_IPC_SERVER=True
. - Removing support for mpv binary on windows, since using input ipc server on windows is cumbersome. For Windows only libmpv will be supported from this release onwards.
opengl-cb
api will be deprecated and no longer will be supported from now on. Users need to installpympv
to uselibmpv
backend
For installation on raspberry-pi see this repository
For list of all changes see this commit history
Note: libvlc
support is mainly to support hardware accelerated video playback on RPi. All the controls on the application GUI won't work nicely with it. libvlc
should be used in conjuction with web-ui
for controlling player remotely.
