First comments based on a quick test on the new features:
Multiple audio at the same time: OK (even on several audios playing)
Video play back: depending on the format of the video:
MP4: QLC+ Crashes immediately at playing the video (different files tested)
WMV: OK
AVI: inconsistent results. Played well on some files, on some others played only the sound, and on some others QLC+ crashed (I'm particularly flabbergasted on these results since avi is kind of a standard format)
MKV: OK
Beside the actual playing of the files there are some other things:
In the header of the selection window says "Open Audio File"
Since there are no file types associated with the video the software allows to select any file and "play" those files, obviously the program blows himself in a puff of golden smoke at such a metaphysic intent of trying to play a pdf as a video ;)

Hey Luis, thank you very much for the detailed report.
I am aware of the empty file types list. I filed a bug to the Qt team some weeks ago but, as usual, they are like turtles on facing the issues.
I'll have to find out a workaround myself.
As for the window title...copy and paste epic fail :)

The AVI file type is a pain in the but, as it is seen every where and is considered a "Standard format" where as it is only a container format, and can have any number of video / audio codecs.
I have had a number of run-ins with this in other software, where one AVI file will work fine and another wont even open.

Wow. This must be a very rough mistake. (which are usually easy to solve :) )
I'm gonna check it later.
Guys, please be patient with me, this port to Qt5 is quite painful, especially when 3 different OSes (linux, windows, OSX) behave all differently :(

Yes, its weird indeed... all the files are in place, but it seems the program doesn't read them. Also I just managed to compile it on ubuntu with QT5 and all is OK, so its possibly a windows specific issue.

However I've noticed a really small issue, mostly cosmetic. The icons for the RGB and CMY are not colored. It happens in the I've attached a screenshot. In the QT4 version this doesn't happens.
And here's another shot of the QLC+ Qt5 porting, built on Windows.
The two main advantages (for now) are:
- support for multiple audio at the same time
- support for video playback
Download here: http://qlcplus.sourceforge.net/4.7.0/QLC+_4.7.0-TEST-20140322.exe
Please test it and report everything you find as non-working compared to 4.7.0 RC1 released yesterday
Thanks

Just a quick note, about AVI.
The AVI file type is a pain in the but, as it is seen every where and is considered a "Standard format" where as it is only a container format, and can have any number of video / audio codecs.

Hi Massimo,
after de-installation of 4.7.0 RC1 and installation of TEST-20140310 the following happens inside the QLC+ UI:
After re-installation of the RC1 all devices and fixtures are available again.
Tested on following systems:

I can confirm the issue. Same here... no input/output and no fixtures.
How could I missed that?!?!

Just tried. Uninstalled 4.7.0 RC1 and installed this 0310 test version.
Everything is fine. I have fixtures and plugins at the right place.
I also checked the exe file content with 7zip and I can see them as well.
What's going on then ?
Yes, its weird indeed... all the files are in place, but it seems the program doesn't read them. Also I just managed to compile it on ubuntu with QT5 and all is OK, so its possibly a windows specific issue.
One more observation, don't know if this helps to narrow the issue a little bit, but I consider it worth mentioning:
I've reinstalled 4.7.1 RC1 (qt4) on my Win7 and has a strange behavior that may be related to this issue:
On trying to open a workspace directly from the machine, it also fails to recognize inputs/outpus and fixtures. Exactly as with the QT5 version.
However if I first open QLC+ and then open a workspace it opens normally.

Yes, that's also what I have seen: Files are in place, but do not appear in the QLS+ user interface.
Just had the chance to test it. You're right guys. No plugins. No fixtures. Even though the files are there.
I suspect I did a mistake in the build process. Tonight I'll fix it and upload a new test version.
Thanks for reporting this.
Should be fixed now. Can you please try again with version 0322 ?
Thanks
The Fixtures and Inputs/Outputs are showing!!! :D
However I've noticed a really small issue, mostly cosmetic. The icons for the RGB and CMY are not colored. It happens in the I've attached a screenshot. In the QT4 version this doesn't happens.
I believe that's QT5 bug (or Qt4-Qt5 incompatibility)
Yeah, that's another thing to fix with Qt5 :'(
