Hi guys,
Just reading through some of the threads-saw there is a minor release came out, good news.
When do you think the next major release will come out, with the likes of pre-encoding etc etc?

We have nearly completed development of the new pre-transcoding feature, and are still developing our new subtitle engine. These will be the two main features of the next major version. This new major version will be a free upgrade for all registered users. Sorry, we do not a fixed release date as yet. We will release it as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience.
Sorry, we are not planning to add URL streaming for the next major release. Otherwise it will be delayed even more :o
What do consider a major release in terms of version numbers? Would 2.4 be a major release or 3.0?
Cheers,
Slyck
3.0 is a major release, but there's a possibility of a semi-major release 2.5 happening before that.
Hi to all,
I have been using v2.3.2 with my Samsung LCD TV with very good results.
I noted with interest the mention of a new "subtitle engine" in the works for the next release. I have a number of .SRT files which work fine EXCEPT that any embedded HTML tags, like <b> or <i> are ignored. It's a minor issue, but will the new "subtitle engine" address this?
All help appreciated. Thanks.
If the TV supports external subtitles (e.g. .SRT files), then they're delivered without alteration and it's up to the TV to properly decode and render them. The new subtitle engine will have the ability to burn the subtitles onto the video, which will require transcoding, but will allow for such tags to be picked up and used.
Does that mean that these tags work with other clients (including presumably, other TVs) with the current version?
Possibly yes, but I can't say for sure which device exactly supports them.
Are they parsed out by your TV or shown as-is on screen (e.g. does it show <b> on screen or just ignores it and doesn't show bold text)?
