This means that, for example, SMPlayer can resume playback or set bookmarks on YouTube videos or other online streams (as long as they are seekable). * SMPlayer is now built with Qt 5 by default. -- Ricardo Villalba Thu, 09 Jun 2016 23:00:32 +0200 smplayer (16.4.0) precise; urgency=low * The Windows installer now includes mpv as well. * Now it's easier to switch between mplayer and mpv (Preferences -> General, select either mplayer or mpv as multimedia engine). * The extrastereo filter works again when using mpv. * Possibility to use the VLC shortcuts. (Preferences -> Keyboard and mouse, click the load button, select vlc.keys) * Possibility to enable mouse gestures (when the mouse is dragged up or down in the video window the volume changes.
