Here's the link for those interested in upgrading to the latest version of JW.

I've never seen upgrading JW have any significant impact on Subsonic, but for anyone who needs the latest, here it is. :wink:

Will this help video on android?

HTML5 is now the default playback mode on Android Devices
After Adobe announced that they would stop developing their Flash Player for Android devices in November 2011, we refocused our Android support on HTML5 mode. As a result, HTML5 will be the default playback mode moving forward.

Probably not. The biggest factor in video on Android is bandwidth and the power of the Subsonic host server. Good upload speed from the server and a strong CPU for transcoding are huge, and then there's the 3g thing if your not on wifi.

When I'm on wifi at home I can play recorded HDTV at 5000kbps without any buffering. Same phone on crappy Sprint 3g sometimes chokes at 500kbps.

There are granular improvements for scenarios when both the bandwidth is poor and the playback device is poor.
Invisible bugs (ie. no error messages) such as playback halting, pause button not working after streaming for a long time, pressing pause halting the entire stream and things like that has been fixed in these new versions.

5.10 and 5.9 before it was a major improvement upon the 5.6 version that Subsonic 4.6 and 4.7b2 is shipping with.
I recommend upgrading.

HTML5 is a different issue, upgrading will not give you HTML5
