Versie 0.7.1 van Kantaris Media Player is uitgekomen. Deze mediaspeler is gebaseerd op VLC Media Player, maar voegt daar enkele extra's aan toe, waaronder ondersteuning voor plug-ins en integratie met Last.fm en movietrailers van Apple. Daarnaast heeft het een eigen uiterlijk en visualisaties, speelt het met rar gearchiveerde mediabestanden af zonder dat deze eerst hoeft te worden uitgepakt en er kan vanuit het programma naar ondertiteling worden gezocht. De ondertiteling kan tevens gesynchroniseerd worden.
Plugins and Bug Fixes
Version 0.7.1 has been released! Version 0.7.0 never worked like it was supposed to because there where unfortunately too many bugs. Therefor we have spent much time to test this release so that not the same would happen again. A new thing in this release is the concept of plug-ins. Everything that isn’t directly connected to the playing media has been moved to plug-ins, that include the Movie Trailers, Video Library and Playlist.com Music Search. These plug-ins are no longer included but can easily be downloaded and installed from inside the player. Also there are 3 new plug-ins that are available for download.These plug-ins may still be a little buggy but now that they are separate from the main code we are hoping that some people will volunteer to take over development and maintenance of them. We will release the source code of the current plug-ins in a couple of days and also documentation on how to make new plugins.
