Some people reported problems when using SMPlayer on a Linux desktop with Wayland. The main problem usually is the video being on a separate window, but it can also be a black window or a crash when trying to play a video.

Here is how to fix it. There are two possible ways:

1. Select a different video output in Preferences -> General -> Video. Usually at least x11 should work.
2. Install SMPlayer using a flatpak or snap package. These packages provide patched versions of mpv and mplayer which should fix the problem. More info here: https://www.smplayer.info/install-snap-flatpak-appimage.php

Main changes:

• A version for Mac OS is now available.
• Better automatic resizing of the main window, trying to prevent black borders.
• Fix loading YouTube playlists.
• Add an option to rotate the video by 180 degrees.
• Playlist: try to prevent a one second delay when using play prev/next.
• Add some predefined speeds (0.25x, 0.5x, 1.25x, 1.5x, 1.75x).
• Fix audio CD playback with mpv.
• Fix audio channels.

Windows:

• The installation of YouTube support is now optional.
• Using Qt 5.15.2.

Linux:

• Disable power saving on Wayland during playback.
• Remove KDE from the categories in the *.desktop files.
• SMPlayer is now also available as appimage, flatpak and snap.
