What's new in 0.3.1
Small follow-ups to 0.3.0's native output.
- Dolby Vision is named. The stats panel (
i) shows a Dolby Vision film's
profile and what Kinema does with it, and the Output check explains why it is
sent as HDR10: Windows has no way to send Dolby Vision to a TV. - Better advice for 8-bit HDR. If the Output check says your graphics driver
is sending 8 bits and only 8 is offered, set its output colour format to
YCbCr 4:2:2 first — some drivers offer 10 or 12 bits at 4K only then.
No library upgrade. Full list in CHANGELOG.md.
Install
Download the ZIP, extract it anywhere, and run kinema.exe.
No installer, nothing written outside the folder and your app data.
Windows 11 only. Needs the WebView2 runtime, which ships with
Windows 11 — nothing to install separately.
Windows will warn you
The executable is not code-signed, so SmartScreen shows
"Windows protected your PC" on first run. Click More info,
then Run anyway. To check you got the file this workflow built:
Get-FileHash .\kinema-0.3.1-windows-x64.zip -Algorithm SHA256Expected: f6e19bab803f9a34afd472bb92a7b7759d5a69e98f8a615e113cbac322b3dbd5
First run
The library is empty until you add a folder. Open Settings, add
a movies or TV folder, and optionally paste a free
TMDB API key for posters
and artwork. TV metadata works without any key.
Bundles an unmodified LGPL build of libmpv, which you may replace —
see NOTICE.md.
