Whirligig beta 5.22 - More updates including improved desktop options
Hi Everyone
Another week and another beta. I've continued to work on overall improvements in UI, usability and optimization. I've also wanted to make Whirligig a viable desktop player so I've included some updates relating to that. This also includes bug fixes and probably additional bugs. Please let me know if you come across anything and I'll do my best to fix it.

[h2]Tutorial videos[/h2]
I'm going to making a good amount of tutorial videos about all the options in Whirligig. I'll be posting regularly these updates to the Steam video section and my youtube channel. So look out for those :)
[h2]Bug reporting[/h2]
Please report any bugs you come across. You can either post in this news feed, o the discussion board or email me [email protected].
[h2]User reviews[/h2]
User reviews are always welcome, more so if they're are positive :) Please let everyone know if you like Whirligig, it helps to inform people before purchase and helps me know I'm still making something that people like.
[h2]And finally[/h2]
I'm hoping this will be the version I either release as default or close too. Development still continues and with all the changes recently I'm now in a better position to add more features. I hope that what I'm making is being enjoyed by everyone and look forward to hearing all your comments :)
Happy watching

[h2]Updates[/h2]
- Set cinema mode to full screen. This makes your cinema playback act like a standard desktop player making the screen fill the window.
- Rooms is now better organised into 360 stereo (rooms that are 3d overunder images) and 3D environments (full 3D environments). In addition the "360 Stereo" rooms have a brightness control that can be applied continuesly or dim when the media is playing.
- Audio output. Now you can change your audio output device. So if you wish to output to a surround sound system you can. The options are currently Mono, Stereo (best for VR), Quad, surround, 5.1 and 7.1. These options are only applied when using Media Foundation and WinRT as all other video paths have direct access. I'll be looking at making it the same with VLC at a later date.
