68
69This version include some bug fixes, some of them important. It's highly

82 of the SMPlayer's config folder.
83 * Now it's possible to change the opensubtitles server.
84 * Youtube: seeking is slow with flv videos, so now flv videos have the
85 lowest priority.
86 * Youtube: now it's possible to search and download videos from youtube.
87 This is provided by an external application (in linux you have to install
88 an independent package: smtube).
