Whether this is just an interface issue, or might help people who\u2019ve had problems getting the equalizer working, isn\u2019t clear, but if you\u2019ve had issues with that area of SMPlayer before then you should try this build.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, there are new Thai and Hebrew translations, along with some undefined &#8220;bug fixes&#8221;. And if you\u2019re interested in the technicalities, the SVN log has now been moved to <a title=\"assembla\" href=\"https:\/\/www.assembla.com\/code\/smplayer\/subversion\/nodes\" >assembla<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the most significant of updates, then, but the automatic update checker is worth having. And if you\u2019ve not upgraded in a while, it\u2019s also worth remembering that the previous edition had an important fix for YouTube playback.
