Parole Media Player 0.9.0 Released

Table of Contents

Development for the Xfce media player is back on! Well over a year since the last release, Parole Media Player 0.9.0 brings a fresh set of features and fixes.

What’s New?

  • New “mini mode”, activated from the right-click menu.
  • New play and replay icons in the player content area. Clicking on these will play or replay your media (finally)!
  • Most deprecated API calls have been dropped or replaced. We’re not dropping GtkStatusIcon yet, the notification area lives on in Xfce!
  • Double buffering with the X11/XV video outputs has been re-enabled. Ubuntu has been carrying this patch for a while now.
  • The window and content titles are now set to the playing filename if no ID3 tags are found.
  • Plugins can now be loaded by name instead of full path (plugin-name.so).
  • The desktop file and related AppStream have been updated to the now-standard “reverse-DNS” convention (org.xfce.Parole)
  • Translation updates: Asturian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese (China), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Japanese, Kazakh, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian
