14 DAY TRIAL // The developers of the open-source Rygel software, a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) media server distributed as part of the GNOME Project, have released a new milestone towards version 0.28 of the application.
According to the attached changelog, Rygel 0.27.4 improves the MediaResource copy constructor so that it is capable of copying import_uri, correctly serializes import URI in MediaResource, and adds PV subtitle support to all resources.
Furthermore, rewriting of the subtitle URIs in the PV tag has been fixed in the server part of the software, and some issues with Vala dependencies have been addressed in the database part, which has been made a little more generic.
Transcoded resources will no longer be added to placeholder items in the GStreamer media engine. Last but not least, the Catalan, Czech, Lithuanian, Norwegian Bokmal, Portuguese, Slovak, and Turkish language translations have been updated.
There are, of course, numerous other small bugs that have been squashed in this release, most of them being reported by users since the previous version of the software. These bugfixes improve the overall performance and stability of the media server.
You can download Rygel 0.27.4 right now from Softpedia, but please try to keep in mind that it is a pre-release version, and it might contain unresolved issues. We don't recommend installing it on production machines where stability is of the essence.
