    3.2 is finally done. The changes from 3.1.228 is mostly bug fixes for multi-channel audio and video playback.

    For a grand total of what was made in 3.2. See here

    Or 250 files changed, 19482 insertions(+), 4878 deletions(-) as git diff --stat 3.1...3.2 would have put it.

    As usual the official releases are available here.*

    If any more severe issues will arise in 3.2 I will make a 3.2.X release because the 3.3 will start off with quite a bumpy ride me thinks. Let's see what happens.

      Is there a way to have frame interpolation? That is when the movie frame rate is at 60fps like motion 2 or motion plus.

      @bandag that sucks you get artifacts like this when faces move and stuff. You should ask Steven Spielberg to shoot his movies at 60FPS instead.

      Does anyone here know how to get Showtime to Autoplay yet? When I'm watching .mkv tv shows it just gets so annoying to constant turn my remote on and off to change the episode manually. Gahh that sounded really lazy.

      Have you noobs read the news completly? Where does it say that it contains a "YouTube HD 1080p PlugIn"? Nowhere! It says includes YouTube HD Video Playback h.264 Level 4.08. Where do you guys read the word "Plug-In"? Maybe you read it on your Dildo, lol.
