Aerodrom updated to version 1.1.7.0

Aerodrom has been updated to version 1.1.7.0. Customers will get the latest version with the automatic update feature which is triggered on startup.

What's new: Changed audio playback to reduce CPU load and improve quality. Fixed a bug in the license key handling.

This is a minor update. We fixed some bugs our customers reported especially during audio playback. There was a high CPU load which caused problems on lower performance systems. We improved audio quality as some customers reported noise or stuttering. Some customers had license key problems and therefore Aerodrom did not publish AirPlay or AirTunes. This problems are also fixed with this version.
We will continue to improve the quality of Aerodrom and we like to thank all customers who helped us with their bug reports.

Aerodrom updated to version 1.1.6.0

Aerodrom is a AirPlay server application for Microsoft Windows has been updated to version 1.1.6.0. Customers will get the latest version with the automatic update feature which is triggered on startup.

What's new: Changed video playback to FFmpeg. Changed audio library to NAudio for less noise. Added a button for restart on the configuration dialog. Fixed a bug in the manual check for update. Changed update check to new domain. Upgrade openSSL to 1.0.1c. Fixed openSSL padding bug. Fixed application exit. Fixed photo display bug with Webalbums. Removed VLC from configurations. Fixed default publishname from domain to computername. Tested for Windows 8 compatibility. Fixed empty publish name results in default. Added password protection for AirPlay video. Updated AerodromMCE to version 1.1.6.0.

This is a major upgrade for us. We implemented a whole new video engine based on the the fantastic libraries of the FFmpeg project. Video now supports HTTP live streaming (HLS) right out of the box. VLC player is not needed anymore and all users have the same video experience without the need for extra codec packs, which should also improve support.
We also changed our audio playback to the NAudio library. This is a major quality update in audio playback and also in stability. We also changed audio playback from iOS devices to use of AAC audio. This is like AppleTV and is pimary because of performance issues on iOS devices.
Album display info ist still broken for iOS devices. We will check on that when the new iOS 6 will be available.
Again we will continue to improve the quality of Aerodrom and a big thanks to all customers who helped further development with their purchase, input and especially bug reports or beta testing.
