Generic Player gets a big update

Generic Player 1.3.1 is a music and video player for Linux, built with PyQt6 and optional PyQt5 support. PyQt5 is best-effort status.

  • Play local files(audio or video), folders, playlists, and internet radio.
  • Search and reorder your queue; use shuffle, repeat, playback speed, and a sleep timer.
  • Enjoy album artwork, lyrics, eight themes, and a visualizer driven by decoded audio.
  • Restore your queue and settings without automatically starting playback.
  • Control playback with playerctl and optionally show artist, song, and year on your desktop.

Many bugs have been fixed, osd compatibility has been added and themes have been improved.

RunIT-QT Browser — 1.0 RC2 Release

I’m happy to announce the release of RC2 version of RunIT-QT, a lightweight Qt WebEngine browser designed for speed, simplicity, and privacy.

RunIT-QT focuses on a clean interface, low memory use, and a fast browsing experience – without the bloat commonly found in larger browsers. This release also includes major improvements across adblocking, downloads, security, and overall usability. Below is an image of the current UI. The code and a detailed README.md can be found from the Github: https://github.com/postman721/RunIT-QT_QWebengine
