I've worked on and updated the browser so that it's much quicker and responsive in folder with large numbers of files or folder (text explorer not the thumbnail one). The new version is whirligig_v5.563.

Hi All

I've been working on a lot of updates some big and some small. I will be posting a full release on all these updates at the end of March, however I wanted to release this update as I think it will have some options that some people can make use off immediately.

Feature Update

I've added a new option for cropping your videos top, bottom, left and right. This also includes keying for transparency of certain colours. Keying of colours for use with videos using green screen will work well when using the passthrough option which has also been added.

These options required a good amount of shader development and I've tried to improve performance for these updates. Please let me know if you have any issues with tiling and stereo seperation in particular.

I hope you like this update. I've been working on a lot of features, some of which I've not gone into detail here but have made it into this beta release anyway. These include, subtitle position options, passthrough options, fixes to sound issues in VLC and improvements to non VR and fullscreen cinema video.

As mentioned, please let me know of any issues you come across and any feedback you might have.

If you want to show your appreciation of Whirligig a positive review is always welcome :)

All the best and happy watching

Phil
