CarSub V5 is out!

[rich600]

Hi all,

another week, another release of CarSub!

This following has been added:

• Subsonic Playlist support with integrated intelligent caching
• Control over the streaming bitrate (defined in the config)
• An alternative Now-Playing screen with buttons instead of gestures (defined in the config)
• Finer grained configuration over what CarSub caches
• Some minor tweaks and fixes.

As usual the next version is underway. Aside from a couple of fixes, V6 will contain support for iPhone 6/6 Plus screen resolutions. It should be submitted to Apple next week.

Have a great Christmas everyone.

Fantastic App - gets better and better with each release!

Just missing easy access to 'Most Player' and 'Top Rated' to be perfect for me

Hi,

thanks very much!

Will add your requests to the backlog. They're actually very simple to implement.

Cheers

Just found this app in it looks amazing! Any plans for getting chromecast support included?

Thanks for new app!

I just saw that this new app was out and purchased it. So far, this is the best iOS SubSonic client by far! My favorite client in DSub for Android, but I am required to use an iPhone as my company phone and I have been searching for an iOS client that actually works for almost a year now. Thank you so much for developing it and I hope it proves worthwhile to you to continue to maintain it.

I noticed that it doesn't seem like Ogg Vorbis is supported, so I would like to put in a request for that. I use flac to aoTuV Vorbis transcoding to get good audio at very low bitrates in order to save on data (it also helps when you are driving through low/slow signal areas because you don't have to download as much data to keep your stream going). For now I have just set the player to do mp3 transcoding, the additional codec support would be great.

BTW - If I am wrong and the Vorbis transcodes SHOULD be working, just let me know and I will try to get you any logs/specs you may need to troubleshoot.

Thanks, again!

Hi

thanks for trying CarSub and I'm glad you like it.

CarSub uses a streaming library called StreamingKit and that doesn't support Vorbis I'm afraid.

Cheers
