And here's another shot of the QLC+ Qt5 porting, built on Windows.
The two main advantages (for now) are:
- support for multiple audio at the same time
- support for video playback
Download here: http://www.qlcplus.org/4.7.0/QLC+_4.7.0 ... 140322.exe
Please test it and report everything you find as non-working compared to 4.7.0 RC1 released yesterday
Thanks
Windows TEST build - Qt5 based

Hi Massimo,
First comments based on a quick test on the new features:
- **Multiple audio at the same time:** OK (even on **several** audios playing)
- **Video play back:** depending on the format of the video:
- MP4: QLC+ Crashes immediately at playing the video (different files tested)
- WMV: OK
- AVI: inconsistent results. Played well on some files, on some others played only the sound, and on some others QLC+ crashed (I'm particularly flabbergasted on these results since avi is kind of a standard format)
- MKV: OK
Beside the actual playing of the files there are some other things:
- In the header of the selection window says "Open *Audio* File"
- Since there are no file types associated with the video the software allows to select any file and "play" those files, obviously the program blows himself in a puff of golden smoke at such a metaphysic intent of trying to play a pdf as a video
Luis
PS: I've attached a screenshot to illustrate those last points, sorry about the blurring but I'm not on my own machine right now
PS2: I'm on a Win7 (32 bits)

Hey Luis, thank you very much for the detailed report.
I am aware of the empty file types list. I filed a bug to the Qt team some weeks ago but, as usual, they are like turtles on facing the issues.
I'll have to find out a workaround myself.
As for the window title...copy and paste epic fail

Just a quick note, about AVI.
The AVI file type is a pain in the but, as it is seen every where and is considered a "Standard format" where as it is only a container format, and can have any number of video / audio codecs.
I have had a number of run-ins with this in other software, where one AVI file will work fine and another wont even open.

Hi Massimo,
after de-installation of 4.7.0 RC1 and installation of TEST-20140310 the following happens inside the QLC+ UI:
* All input/output devices are diappeared
* All 'standard' fixtures (out of the installation folder QLC+) are diappeared, only the self-created (out of user/QLC+/fixtures folder) are available
After re-installation of the RC1 all devices and fixtures are available again.
Tested on following systems:
* Standard PC with Win7 SP1 64 Bit, i5 CPU
* MacBook Pro with Mavericks 10.9.2, running VMWare Fusion 5.0.4 with Win7 SP7
* Interface: FX5 DMX
Regards
Stefan

I can confirm the issue. Same here... no input/output and no fixtures.
How could I missed that?!?!

Wow. This must be a very rough mistake. (which are usually easy to solve )
I'm gonna check it later.
Guys, please be patient with me, this port to Qt5 is quite painful, especially when 3 different OSes (linux, windows, OSX) behave all differently

Just tried. Uninstalled 4.7.0 RC1 and installed this 0310 test version.
Everything is fine. I have fixtures and plugins at the right place.
I also checked the exe file content with 7zip and I can see them as well.
What's going on then ?

Yes, its weird indeed... all the files are in place, but it seems the program doesn't read them. Also I just managed to compile it on ubuntu with QT5 and all is OK, so its possibly a windows specific issue.

Stefan Flocker
Yes, that's also what I have seen: Files are in place, but do not appear in the QLS+ user interface.

One more observation, don't know if this helps to narrow the issue a little bit, but I consider it worth mentioning:
I've reinstalled 4.7.1 RC1 (qt4) on my Win7 and has a strange behavior that may be related to this issue:
On trying to open a workspace directly from the machine, it also fails to recognize inputs/outpus and fixtures. Exactly as with the QT5 version.
However if I first open QLC+ and then open a workspace it opens normally.

Just had the chance to test it. You're right guys. No plugins. No fixtures. Even though the files are there.
I suspect I did a mistake in the build process. Tonight I'll fix it and upload a new test version.
Thanks for reporting this.

The Fixtures and Inputs/Outputs are showing!!! 
However I've noticed a really small issue, mostly cosmetic. The icons for the RGB and CMY are not colored. It happens in the I've attached a screenshot. In the QT4 version this doesn't happens.
