Networking should be working, but then again it may only work for those who go through en0. Are you connected via wireless? I'm the only one working on the "core" right now, although a few other people (e.g. cullman, tokyovigilante) are helping out with some of the other parts like the plug-in codecs and Python. I'd welcome any help I can get! Thanks, Matt. Networking should be working, but then again it may only work for those who go through en0. Are you connected via wireless?

I've got it up and running on my imac. Videos are running fast and without audio. Also networking doesn't seem to be working. Are you planning on implementing the apple remote? Btw, how's the current status? Are you getting help from any other devs? Keep up the great work! Awesome work elan! I’ve got it up and running on my imac. Videos are running fast and without audio.

I'll try to get the Mini fix in soon. @Karel: The Mac Mini has an Intel graphics chipset, not ATI, so this release does not help you. I’ll try to get the Mini fix in soon.

It couldn't do multi-context rendering without crashing. However, few weeks back, I updated the main GL renderer so that all texture loads happen from the main GUI thread, which optimized video playback on non-ATI GPUs but had the side effect of breaking the ATI renderer. “I’m not quite sure what its raison d’être was and”
