After several months of development we are releasing major iSedora 2.2 update with many new features and improvements.

Subtitles transcoding engine

  • This is a major feature of this update. New engine is fast and reliable with excellent A/V streams synchronization.
  • Automatic charset detection for subtitles files. A convenient way to watch movies with different subtitle encodings. To enable this option, open 'iSedora / Preferences / Subtitles' and select 'Automatic detection' for subtitles charset.
  • SRT / ASS subtitles font size can be customized to better fit personal taste. This option will work for plain text subtitles only. Otherwise the engine will respect the internal text formatting.
  • New engine can be configured as the default for all video streaming. Check 'Always use secondary encoder' option in 'Preferences / Video'.

Video thumbnails

  • Smart video thumbnail generator based on either video stream or embedded art if available in video file.

Music album art

  • Album art size can be adjusted or disabled in 'iSedora / Preferences / Music'
  • PDF files can be used for the album art. To enable, add 'cover.pdf' to the list of cover files in 'iSedora / Preferences / Music' and copy PDF file to the album folder.

Device configuration and native streaming

  • New simplified device configuration dialog with easier native formats selection. Please update your device settings.
  • Native A/V formats network streaming speed is much faster in this release. Heavy Full-HD videos with high bitrates should be played smoothly over Wi-Fi network connection.

Other

  • Full list of bug fixes and improvements is available in the changelog.

Mac OS users should perform one time manual update for this release.
