The time has come again for QLC+ to progress on a new minor release.
This version includes a lot of new features and some areas of the software required some major rework. One of them is the possibility to have an arbitrary number of universes.
For this and other reasons, this is a release candidate version. Depending on users feedbacks, this will turn into a stable release in a few weeks.
Some other major changes are:
* A dedicated dialog to create and setup RGB panels
* A brand new position tool for the Scene editor, and a few improvements to the XY Pad widget
* FX5 USB DMX and Windows joysticks support. The HID plugin has been renamed so it is necessary to uninstall any previous version of QLC+ to avoid conflicts
* EXPERIMENTAL: A preliminary 2D preview of the fixtures. For now it only supports the front view of RGB/CMY lights
As always I would like to thank all the people who contributed to this version with quality code, fixtures, translations, feedbacks and ideas.

* NEW: Input/Output: QLC+ now supports infinite universes

Hello,
absolut great, but I am missing the video playback. Is it not part of the next major release? Would be very, very fine to have it.

Hi, the current version of QLC+ is based on Qt4.
The video feature is based on Qt5, but it's still not ready to be deployed, especially on OSX.
I've built a Windows snapshot for you. Please write in the right thread:

by the way,
there is some news about the raspberry pi version of QLC+?
is possible to try something compiling QLC+ on raspi directly from git?
or is possible to found an image with QLC+ included?

Hello Willy. QLC+ is a free and open source software, so you can build it even on your microwave oven if you want (and if it works 
)
At the moment there is no official Raspberry Pi image.
I am working on it, but lately my time is limited. When it is ready I will make an announcement.
Since I am dedicating quite a lot of my time and effort to it, I will require a fair donation to have acess to the official Raspberry image.
