What's new in Musictube 1.9
Aug 17, 2019
- Playback issues have been fixed and new YouTube resolutions up to 4K added. The new multimedia backend is MPV as in my other apps.
- Artist images are now taken from the Discogs API as Last.fm dropped this functionality. Musictube 1.9 supports macOS Mojave Dark Mode and generally better supports dark themes also on Windows and Linux.
New in Musictube 1.8 (Sep 19, 2017)
- This new version of Musictube brings many refinements and bug fixes.
- On Windows and Linux the menu bar is now hidden by default. A Chrome-like toolbar menu contains the few items that are not readily available in the UI. If preferred the menu bar can be easily restored by choosing “Toggle Menu Bar” (ALT).
New in Musictube 1.6 (Jul 4, 2016)
- For 1.6 I focused on polishing and refreshing Musictube visuals so it looks at home on the latest OS X & Windows 10. Musictube is now fully HiDPI (aka Retina Display) compliant. Musictube got a new icon, more flat and hopefully more recognizable.
- A bug has been fixed that prevented resuming playback after pausing the music for more than a minute or so.
- The search autocompletion popup is back, so just type the first few letters of the artist name and accept a suggestion.
- This release features significant updates in the libraries used by Musictube. It took a while but I finally managed to port Musictube to Qt 5 (I’m shipping the brand new Qt 5.7 on Mac & Windows builds). LibVLC has been updated to 2.2.4, Phonon to 4.9.0.
New in Musictube 1.5.2 (Nov 19, 2015)
- Solves an issue with VEVO videos
New in Musictube 1.5.1 (Aug 26, 2015)
- A few days ago Musictube stopped working because of an error in the Last.fm API. Last.fm is in the process of migrating to a new infrastructure and is having many issues. This is a quick fix release that works around the invalid XML currently served by the Last.fm API. Have fun with Musictube
