Currently about to test. Will keep you informed!Hi guys, after a lot (lot, lot) of work, i'm so happy to release pPlay 1.4, which now use threading for video and audio decoding. This is a major step, it allow using the "low" buffer option for most media (faster loading/seeking..), fix most of the audio desync but also fix audio lost when seeking. You'll still have to use a higher buffer option if you loose audio on some media. It was not intensively tested, you'll report problems!
By the way, I hope this version will be tested for the contest :=)
PLEASE SET YOUR BUFFERING OPTION TO LOW IF YOU ARE UPDATING

- implement threading (major speed improvement)!
- fix date format in status bar
- fix status bar not hidden on timeout hide
- set lower buffering option by default (thanks threading)
All my 1080p mkv files with embedded .ass run perfectly, but I'm using the cpu boost (all options at their maximum).running perfect no cpu boost. mp4,h264@9k 720p with no issues.

You're wrong, it handle native 1080p when docked. And audio Passtrough will probably never happen.Tested version pPlay 1.4
- No Dolby Digital AC3 passthrough
- No DTS pass through
- AC3/DTS downmix to Stereo
- No native 1080p in docked mode.
For what it's worth,you can make a simple batch script to merge subs into an MKV file with something like mkvtool. That being said, it's still a hassle I'm sure you'd rather avoid lolI think found a visual bug on 1.4
Start a video. pause it. the play/pause icon switch to triangle to play again while the video is paused.
press B to return to video list and pick the same or another video. press A to display the menu.
the Play/pause icon is still set as triangle (play) even if it's not paused.
Anyway, it plays fine and is fast to load and react.
I'm really waiting for external SRT support ! I watch mostly TV Shows and they rarely have embedded ssa files.
Another problem :
I enabled subtitle for one video. it works.
exit while playing. try to load another (or the same) video and get : unable to load codec for stream 0. (stream 0 is supposed to be the video, right?)
good luck on future updates.

Edit:
Another problem :
try to load any previously working video and get : unable to load codec for stream 0. (stream 0 is supposed to be the video, right?)
I exit PPlay completely, run it again. it was long to load and crashed. I'll upload the screenshot.
Ok, I added the crash picture. Not very useful, right? there's no value at all.
TitleID 36 is the the picture module? so it's more a HBL crash.
