Notes:
>> Worked a lot on cleaning the code (and there's much to do left), optimizations, fixing bugs, etc...
>> 99% of our code is now shared between Windows Phone and Windows, we're basically ready for the Windows 10 SDK migration.
* Updated User Interface
* Optimisations of XAML code, which is between 50% and 130% faster (parsing and layout rendering).
* LastFM scrobbling working on Windows
* Browse music and videos from folders. For example if your songs are not correctly tagged, you can browse in VLC and "play a folder" just like you would play an album.
* XAML Responsive Design enhancements : we're trying to use your screen as best as possible. On tiny screens we removed the "now playing" title which is useless, and on a big screen we give more options with extra buttons, etc.
* Use of Windows 10 APIs via Reflection for setting a custom, orange window background color.
* New icons, margins and alignments are more polished (even if it's still work in progress)
* Refresh button in the Video Library, just like the Music library
* Search videos or albums easily.
* Updated design for Video Player (still very work in progress though)
* Adding Semantic Zoom in the Albums view, with custom selection of ordering (by artist, by date, by album).
* We added a back button so devices like Lumia 730 or future tiny tablets will be able to go back easily.
* Using the same colors as VLC for Android/iOS.
Along with lots of bug fixes, etc.
Please don't forget:
>> This version is still far from perfect and we would like to hear your feedback. What you like and dislike, what features you want us to add, etc.
>> Windows Phone got v1.3 today however we're not releasing this update on Windows.
Known bugs:
* The video player still sucks
* Unless you play an MKV file or an uncommon video, you won't be able to choose an embedded or external subtitle, nor specify an audio track.
* The latest Windows 10 Mobile builds are really buggy and lots of apps are crashing, so don't expect much stability over there.
