The developer behind Xtream Player has recently unveiled a significant update to the app, marking a new chapter for its dedicated user base. Following a tumultuous period that saw the app’s initial shutdown, a complete codebase overhaul, and the introduction of dashboard games, the latest version (v1.6.0) promises to enhance the user experience with several exciting features.
New Features and Enhancements
- The standout addition is a Winamp-inspired visualizer, offering users a nostalgic touch with nine distinct visualization styles. This feature is accessible to both free and premium users, allowing everyone to enjoy a visually engaging experience.
- Another noteworthy enhancement is the ability to send videos directly from a smartphone to the car, although users should be aware that this feature is currently experimental and may exhibit some bugs.
- For a more immersive viewing experience, the app now hides in-page controls after a few seconds, aligning with the quality picker to match YouTube’s options seamlessly.
- Additionally, Xtream Player v1.6.0 allows playback to resume automatically after a phone call without interrupting the audio streaming to the car’s radio. Captions are also turned off by default, streamlining the viewing experience.
While these features are available to all users, premium members can enjoy exclusive upgrades. The app remembers the last visualization used and supports official MilkDrop and libprojectM visualizers, expanding the visual options for those who opt for the premium experience.
Users can easily download Xtream Player v1.6.0 from GitHub or the Fermata Xtream website, ensuring that both new and returning users can take advantage of these innovative updates.
