CherryPlayer 2.2.0 released!
CherryPlayer 2.2.0 version has been released today. This version supports a few new important features like external and internal subtitles, switching external and internal audio tracks for video, radio support, SHOUTcast radio service, playback 480p and 1080p YouTube videos, playback online YouTube videos etc. We also fixed a few important bugs like crashes, stopped playback work that required to restart player, not played some YouTube videos, not worked playback from zaycev.net etc. Also we improved work with video window.
This version is first version after all these big changes and so this version is not very well tested. We tried to fix all most important bugs. If you find any bug please mail to our support.
This version is good step in player growth. Now we can focus more on improving search engine and more deep integation YouTube and other services to player. For begin we want to add to player all search filters that YouTube supports on site. For example, I'm personally can not find easy some YouTube videos in player because search engine in player does not support different youtube filters.
Also login to YouTube feature has been implemented to player but hidden for now, as in this release we had not time to add properly loading user's YouTube playlists, subscribe to YouTube channels etc. We consider these features important and will add them in coming releases. Probably we will look these features after improving search engine.

Important notes:
1. XP users: we found before release that video playback can work NOT properly on XP. In the same time we could not delay release more as enough much urgent bugs have been fixed in 2.2.0 and previous player version crashed a lot last days. So we released 2.2.0 with known downgrades on XP. We will look on downgrade with video playback on XP after holidays and will try to release new player version with fixes for XP ASAP.
2. After installing CherryPlayer "usual" version and start CherryPlayer you can see message like "missing DLL MSVCP120.dll" to start player. This bug will be fixed ASAP too. But to run successfully CherryPlayer now you need:
2.1. either install "Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013" from Microsoft official site
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl....aspx?id=40784
you need to install "vcredist_x86.exe"
2.2. or install CherryPlayer 2.2.0 "portable" version before installing "usual" version.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sincerely your CherryPlayer team!
