Big Improvement :):) give it a go if you've not tried catchup for a while,
A new web player is available on the website that offers the following improvements:
- Port & protocol testing for connection failover.
- Stream reconnection on loss of broadband connection or when switching from Wi-Fi to LAN.
- Hardware decoding and rendering utilising stage video support for direct GPU access, which dramatically improves playback quality and battery life on laptops/netbooks.
- Multi-bitrate streaming and quality of service control for automated stream switching (can also force manual bitrate changes for poor connections). Rules continually check for sufficient/insufficient bandwidth, dropped frames and insufficient buffer.
- True aspect on playback with TV type ratio selections; letterbox (default), stretch, zoom and none.
- Automated smoothing and de-blocking for best video playback performance.
- EPG Guide included showing now/next programme information with category support.
- Social network integration with Twitter and
- Facebook.
