It has been a while since the last update, so we're proud to finally upload a new beta!
This release mostly saw improvements and fixes to the integrated player, like (finally) bitrate/quality selection, fixes for transcoding and audio/subtitle track selection, a back button and the option to switch between hardware and software decoding.
As always, we'd like to thank our external contributors who implemented new features or fixed bugs.
