NthCode Player Alpha 2 is out!

[Peter McDermott]

NthCode Player Alpha 2 for BeagleBoard is now available for download at nthcode.com/player/download.html

What's NthCode Player?  Well, today, if you want to listen to music or watch a movie, you need to go to your computer, and then, possibly, the Internet.  What if you want to listen to music or watch movies on your TV, set-top box, or other electronic device?  NthCode Player is software that makes that happen.  You can read the details at http://www.nthcode.com.

New features in Alpha 2:

  - Added support for USB mass storage devices (USB flash cards, USB disk drives, etc.)

  - Added support for Realtimedsp's OMAP3530-MINI-V3 BeagleBoard-like devkit (realtimedsp.com.cn)

  - Add List View/Grid View selector to Audio and Video menus

  - Added simplified Chinese tranlslations for mainland China (we are in Beijing)

  - Fixed bug that caused the software license to show as raw HTML instead of processed HTML

  

Limitations:

  - Still using software-only decoders while we find time to make the DSP work well

    - Video is limited to about 500x350 pixels with mp3 audio @ 30fps

  - AAC+ is currently not supported due to lack of a non-GPL decoder

  

You can download this alpha from nthcode.com/player/download.html

If you find any issues, we have a mailing list at groups.google.com/group/nthcode-player-discussion

Thanks, and enjoy!
