0.9.0-beta2

Here's what's changed since v0.9.0-beta. Please report any bugs or issues to help improve future releases 🚀

📝 Enhanced Subtitle Integration

• External subtitles can now be included in document exports (configurable via settings)
• Automatic detection and loading of subtitles referenced in imported documents
• Automatic video detection from subtitle files (ASS/SSA format)
• Cascading video detection: when importing documents that reference subtitles (ASS/SSA), the application now automatically detects and loads any videos referenced within those subtitle files

🎨 UI Enhancements

• Refined color scheme for menus and popups
• Migrated from Material Icons to Material Symbols

🔧 Fixes & Improvements

• Improved platform integrations for both Windows and Linux
• Enhanced right-to-left (RTL) layout support
• Restored mouse back/forward button functionality for navigating between video chapters
• Lot's of small fixes

🌍 Internationalization

• Added Portuguese translation (thanks @Diogo23R)
• Updated Spanish translation (thanks @RcUchiha)
• Updated Hebrew translation (thanks @cN3rd)

🪟 Windows: Faster Startup

• Improved startup time, especially for cold starts
• Added splash screen during application initialization

🐧 Linux: Improved Video Performance

Video rendering now happens in a background thread, which should improve UI responsiveness and playback smoothness. However, this adds complexity, so please report any playback or sync issues you encounter.
Action required: Update your mpv.conf via Options → Edit mpv.conf by either restoring default values or removing the video-timing-offset option.

🙏 Special Thanks

@RcUchiha for quality assurance and bug reports

Updating is highly recommended.

0.5.1

If you are updating from a previous version it is highly recommended to click Options --> Restore Default Configuration after updating, otherwise mpv will remove small gaps between subtitle lines. Alternatively, manually add sub-fix-timing=no to your mpv.conf.

• Bugfix: Disabled the removal of very small gaps between subtitle lines

0.5.0

If you are updating from a previous version it is highly recommended to click Options --> Restore Default Configuration after updating, or you will end up with mpv's rather suboptimal defaults since the old config files use the deprecated vo suboptions syntax.

• New: Ability to open remote files and video streams
  (Every protocol supported by ffmpeg and every website supported by youtube-dl are supported)
• New: Support for non-portable installations
• Update: libmpv 0.21.0 or later is now required
  (Using mpv instead of libmpv is no longer possible)
• Update: Adjust the autogenerated mpv.conf by replacing the deprecated vo suboptions
  (Please click Options --> Restore Default Configuration after updating from an
  old version, or you will be stuck with mpv's rather suboptimal defaults)
• Update: Forward mpv log messages to stdout
• Update: Mention the used ffmpeg and mpv versions in the about dialog
• Bugfix: Change the default position of the OSC to not cover sanely placed subtitles
• Bugfix: Work around a column resizing bug introduced in Qt 5.7
• Bugfix: Replace invalid characters in autogenerated filenames on Windows
• Bugfix: Default filename of the QC document now has an extension on Linux

0.4.0

• New: Menu option to change the theme
• New: Menu option to choose the font of the application and the monospace font of the config editor
• Update: A lot more keys can be used in input.conf now (e.g. media buttons)
• Update: Mouse wheel defaults to volume control (If you are updating, you have to delete your input.conf for the new defaults to apply)
• Update: Changed the script option osc-minmousemove in the automatically generated mpv.conf from 1 to 0. This is needed since mpv 0.17.0 to get the previous behaviour (If you are updating, deleting (or manually changing) your mpv.conf is recommended)
• Bugfix: Clicking on the video area while editing a comment line now properly closes the editor of that line
• Bugfix: Ignore Ctrl and Alt modifiers for special characters only on Windows, since on Linux AltGr and Ctrl+Alt are not the same
