Hi Florian,

Are you going to be releasing a stand-alone player update compatible with Trixie any time soon? My desktop pi gets used for occasional devel work and it’s annoying to have to swap out cards and reboot to an older OS.

libavcodec has jumped from 59 to 61 and so the .so isn’t around

Sure. There have been quite a few improvements that haven’t been released yet. Compiling for Trixie was surprisingly simple once I gathered all dependencies for the build process. Release 2.4 is now available at https://info-beamer.com/download/player. There’s only a 64bit release. Not sure if 32bit is still worth supporting at this point. Feedback welcome.
