File Migration and some Cosmetic changes
Weeks end: Summary for October 8, 2007
There was a fair amount of changes implemented this week. The main area that could use your attention is testing the migration of file storage.
Previously there were some errors with migration that would occur when a user would elect to change the storage location while playing a video. Ben has fixed this up and requested that it be tested on all platforms. There are some recommended tests for this in the weekly testing wiki page.
There were also some cosmetic changes implemented. If you are using a testing build you’ll see that new channels added now appear at the top of the list. This is also true for new playlists. A side effect of this has been some buggy behavior in the display of channels and channel folders.
Other visual changes include placing the auto download menu in a more prominent location. On Windows the length of the playing video is displayed on the right side of the progress bar.
For linux users, Nick implemented a way to change the xine driver via a command line option. That should be helpful to users who have issues with specific driver.
Please check out the complete list of changes on the weekly testing wiki page and say hello in the chatroom tomorrow and let us know what you think. If you are new to testing it is a great place to meet people and ask questions.
