Cinema 1.2.2: subtitles that work, a volume you can hear change, a star and the Trash on the page of a video, and fixes.

What's new

  • Volume: the arrow keys up and down change it in even steps of 3 dB, shown at the top right of the player, and Cinema remembers it.
  • The page of a video has a star next to Back for the favorites (or S), and Move to Trash for a downloaded video (or Delete), which asks first.
  • YouTube subtitles: only the tracks YouTube really gives are listed. The ones it translates by itself are refused by YouTube and are left out.
  • The home shows its shelves at once from the last time, and refreshes them in the background.
  • Translations brought up to date in all ten languages; Portuguese is Brazilian throughout.

Fixed

  • Embedded subtitles kept their whole text (a colon or a comma cut them), and are timed from the start of the file.
  • A subtitle that could not be fetched is asked again, instead of staying empty.
  • The subtitles are kept when a video has to go on without the overlay.
  • Live TV is decoded in software when the hardware refuses a channel.
  • 1080p is offered on screens a little under 1080 lines high.
  • Opening Cinema from the Desktop or the Deskbar no longer starts MediaPlayer.
