iPhone homebrew developer errrick has released an updated version of PwnPlayer, bringing it up to version 0.1 beta 5. In case you haven’t heard of it yet, PwnPlayer is a replacement app for the iPhone or iPod Touch’s stock iPod application.
You can get the latest version of PwnPlayer for free through Cydia. It’s still in beta, so expect a few bugs. The app’s lockscreen features seem to be having the most complaints, but as a player, it sounds pretty usable. Here’s the changelog for beta 5:
- Added M4A playback support (MPEG-4 audio files). No tag reading yet.
- Integration with MewSeek (http://www.mewseek.net)
- Fixed a few memory leaks discovered when navigating playlists / music library / file system.
- Fixed a few memory leaks during iTunesDB reading/parsing.
- Added support for standard EQ presets (No custom graphic EQ… yet? I hope so.)
- Improved loading times. PwnPlayer now loads much faster when running it for the first time.
- Autoplay also loads much faster now.
- Album list will now show the artwork immediately with better quality (same as in MobileMusicPlayer, no more delayed-pixelated artwork!).
- Fixed bug on search screen, that showed a folder icon in one or more song results after doing several searches.
- Better navigation in Featured screen.
- Fixed bug for certain music libraries which experienced crashes everytime they wanted to load coverflow, album, song or artist lists
- Artwork in lock screen is now hidden on pause/stop
- Fixed bug that caused certain songs to finish early. Now all songs will play till the end, however, you might still see them on the screen with a lower duration than they actually have, this needs to be investigated further.
