What's Changed

Key highlights:

• The position, in addition to audio, video and subtitle tracks can now be remembered for 1000 videos.
• The seek bar is easier to use thanks to a pointing hand cursor and a bigger clickable area.
• Seeking is faster (and playing videos uses less power) on Intel integrated GPUs thanks to updated hardware decoding backends. Make sure to enable hardware decoding to take advantage of this.
• You can now easily know which subtitle, audio or video track is active. And if you're not a native speaker, disabling the "Prefer forced/default subtitles" will make mpc-qt use the subtitle track with full close captioning by default.
• You can adjust the subtitles delay and change (or disable) the video aspect ratio.
• The OSD is now more useful, with the current and total time on seek or on key press, the subtitles delay and even the aspect ratio name.
