This version unfortunately has small bug that makes it unusable on Gnome 3.30+ and will be available for download only here (it should work on Gnome 3.26 and 3.28)

This is a HUGE update (npm modules reinstallation might be needed).

  • Changes:

    • Chromecast subtitles support (without video transcoding)
    • Select subtitles character encoding in settings (supports various alphabets)
    • Both Chromecast and webplayer will show song cover when playing music (no more black screen)
    • Select and cast multiple files to Chromecast
    • Gnome remote now has position slider
    • Change tracks using skip buttons
    • Switchable repeat button (files will start playing from beginning after last one)
    • Webplayer Firefox and other web browsers support
    • Turkish translation by @teknomobil
  • Improvements:

    • Reduce stuttering at video beginning by adding small delay (allows Chromecast to buffer a little before start)
    • File is send to Chromecast as soon as ffmpeg finishes processing metadata/subtitles
    • Fixed playback controls on mobile devices (plays perfectly with touch support on Android Chrome browser)
    • Change web browser content without closing tab (page refresh is enough after selecting new file)
    • Reworked a lot of code
