Update 1.4 - Video Player improvements, bug fixes

Today's update adds software decoding fallback in the video player. Software decoding means Virtual Desktop will now be able to play non-standard resolutions and formats as long as a software codec installed on your computer is able to support it.

Videos such as these ones didn't work properly before today's update:

In addition, the Virtual Desktop window will now auto-collapse to a smaller size when playing a video. The screen transparency option is back but note that it no longer works if you upgrade to Windows 10 Creator's Update.

The following issues have also been fixed:

  • Fixed motion control tap offset when using display scaling in Windows
  • Fixed washed-out colors when using injection to play DirectX 10 and 11 games
  • Fixed audio choppiness when Rift not set to default playback device on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1
  • Fixed stacking cursor issues with ATI video cards
