Kantaris 0.3.5 released

Kantaris is versatile player that can play almost anything.

It’s been almost exactly two months since version 0.3.4 and this is what I’ve been working on.

•Playback of all audio-CDs should now finally work.
•Seeking in MPEG-2 files fixed.
•Much better RAR support. Can now play most rar-archives containing video instantly without any unpacking and being able to seek in the file like it’s unpacked. I think this is a unique feature that no other player for windows has. I know that XBMC for Xbox can do the same.
•Automatically identifying a movie and listing subtitles for it available at opensubtitles.com also automatically downloads the subtitle of choice. This might also be a unique feature. :D
•A few other bug-fixes.

Getting support for subtitles with character encoding which are different from western standards and not Unicode proved to be more difficult than expected so I wasn't able to finish it in this release. Hopefully a new version with this feature added will be out already this week.

Also I like to mention that Kantaris was featured on TechTV on a show named "The Lab with Leo Laporte" and they said some very nice things about the player. :D The show airs in Canada and Australia
