A nice update for Kinoma Play today
We’ve got a fresh, ready-for-the-weekend update to Kinoma Play (and FreePlay) for everybody today.
You’ll be notified about the update automatically. Or to update immediately, go to Kinoma Play’s Main screen, show the menu pod and select Player > Check for Updates.
Improvements…
- File associations — Kinoma Play now manages file associations instead of depending on Microsoft’s installer. This improves compatibility with the “Set as Ringtone” feature on Windows Mobile phones, helps ensure that content downloaded with web browsers (MP3 and JPEG files, etc.) goes to the correct folders (My Music, My Pictures, etc), and allows the names of special folders to be properly localized.
- Improved handling of DRM’d content — Kinoma Play now checks for the presence of DRM, and will now automatically pass DRM-encrypted content to its default player.
- Spanish language support — ¡Qué bueno!
- SHOUTcast — Kinoma Play now uses a more reliable SHOUTcast directory server.
…and one fix
-
Unicode in MP3s — Some MP3 files with 16-bit Unicode text in their ID3 tags could cause Kinoma Play to hang. If you ever run across one of these, it’ll now work great.
Kinoma Play is designed to work on all Windows Mobile phones. You can always find an up-to-date list of all phones known to be compatible with Kinoma Play at http://kinoma.com/support/devices/play/.
Enjoy!
