Is a 64bit Windows Player in the works?

My clients are borderline unusable at this point due to running out of the 2GB address buffer…

Nothing crazy, basic images and 1080p videos that are under 15 megabytes. Devices are N100 with 16GB of RAM and NVMe…

The new open source player we’re working on for Windows and Linux will be 64bit.

As much as we’d like to the current player cannot be built as 64bit due to various dependencies.

This is good news.
Is there a timeline for that new 64bit player version?

Sorry there isn’t a timeline for this; it will come out alongside the Linux player and be on a shared codebase.

Hello,

I see that Player versions for Linux are now available.
Are there now also 64b versions for Windows available or about to be released in the near future?

I’m interested as well in the availablility of the new windows player. We’ve had a few headaches with the CEF player on the latest Intel CPUs and GPUs, and now this new hiccup: in the v4 player, linked videos won’t start (they work fine in v3, so it’s a bit of a blocker for us to upgrade).

We’ve got around 75 clients, and these quirks are the only thing keeping us from moving to the paid cloud solution. Any guidance would be wonderful—thanks again!

I think the Windows 32bit version creates a bottleneck and causes crashes from time to time .. we need a version that can exploit more RAM and resources.

@dan is there any update for a release ? an official Linux version would be great , alongside a 64bit Windows version.
