Syncplay 1.3.3 (RC1)

Syncplay 1.3.3 Release Candidate 1:

• + (GUI) Added "public server list" feature to config dialogue
• * (GUI) Added 1 second timeout for media search, and made it more efficient
• * (GUI) Per-player arguments now only shown when "show more options" is enabled

Syncplay 1.3.2

New and changed in Syncplay 1.3.2:

• (GUI) Double click to switch media feature (#65 suggested by bitingsock)
• (Syncplay) Ability to specify per-player command-line arguments to be passed on to the media players
• (UI) Improved Russian language support (PR #71 by BrokeRU)
• (GUI) Change to how streams are displayed and checked for name sameness
• (mpv/mplayer2) Ability to override arguments (PR #69 by wiiaboo)
• (mpv) Shows YouTube-DL errors

The new 'double click to switch media' feature works as follows:

• In the Syncplay configuration GUI, go to the 'Misc' tab and enter the directories where you store your videos into the "Directories to search for media" list. Syncplay looks through these lists recursively, so you don't need to list sub-folders.
• When the main Syncplay GUI window is open, if someone else is playing something which is in one of these media folders (or the folder of the currently playing file) then an icon will appear next to the filename in the list of who is playing what. If you double click the filename it will switch to that file.
• If someone is playing a media stream (e.g. a YouTube video in mpv or VLC) then a different icon will appear in the list of who is playing what, and you can double click this to switch to that stream (assuming your media player supports that type of stream).

Syncplay 1.3.1

Syncplay 1.3.1 is a minor release to make Syncplay supports mpv 0.10.0+ on Windows. This release incorporates PR #63 by wiiaboo, which removes --slave-broken mode in mpv on Windows because that was removed for mpv 0.10.0. If you aren't using mpv on Windows then you can stick with Syncplay 1.3.0.

Syncplay 1.3.0 Final

Finally!

For Windows executable see http://syncplay.pl/syncplay-1-3-0/

Syncplay 1.3.0 comes with many new features, tweaks and bug fixes, including:

• Improved support for MPC-HC, VLC, mpv and mplayer2 (and for Unicode);
• ‘Managed rooms’ to make it easy for large parties to watch together as only authorised people are allowed to pause, play and seek;
• ‘Readiness indicator’ feature so you know when everyone is ready to watch a video; and
• German and Russian language support, thanks to DerGenaue, nilsding and BrokeRU.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.
