v0.1.5-pre-release-20160617b

[agent_kith]

This is the second beta release of 0.1.5, featuring a bug fix, and several new additions. Before we go into the details, here's some other information:

PROMOTE SNAKEOIL
Now that the Snakeoil Squad think the whole platform is stable enough 90% of time, we now need your help to promote Snakeoil!

If you think Snakeoil is the best sounding system so far, or if you think Snakeoil is the easiest Linux Operating System you have ever used, please promote Snakeoil OS and spread the name of Snakeoil in your social group. At the bottom of every blog post and widget thread is a widget that allows you to share the content you're currently reading on your social media.

Other things you can do is to sign up to the forums and post your testimonial, or better yet do so on other sites . Help and install Snakeoil on your mate's audio system too if you can.

IMPORTANT
Cryo Treatment (0.1.4) will check for type compatibility but prior versions do not. If you are using an older firmware version please double check and download the correct firmware that matches the architecture of your machine. i.e. install the i686 firmware if you are using 32 bit Snakeoil, and amd64 if you are using 64 bit Snakeoil. (Download the amd64 version even if you are using an Intel chip. I know it's weird but we can blame history for that )

Changelog
Changes since v0.1.5-pre-release-20160613 

1. (Small Update: 20160617b) Fixed bug when removing a storage in music tab doesn't do anything [Credit: Doncentric]
   
2. Fix bad HTML tags in Music tab when saving > 1 mount points [Credit: Doncentric]
   
3. Load the default English language file (always works) if the multi-language file cannot load
   
4. Disable kernel tweaking, kernel upgrade and password reset when in LiveCD mode
   
5. Strip referrer information when accessing snakeoil websifte from the snakeoil web interface to protect your privacy. Tested to work with Chrome (not sure if true for other browsers).
   
6. Removed irqpoll for boot options as it is not doing anyhing (makes sense I guess as RT kernel is totally pre-emptive)
   
7. Improved error detection when starting players from VNC (i.e. there will be a msg if the player fail to start)
   
8. NAA, Roon and other players require manual configuration, as such you should be allowed to start them without configuring ALSA output devices in the Hardware tab.
   
9. Now show player status in software tab so you are better informed if things goes wrong. It will also display a message if your selected player requires manual configuration. You no longer need to ssh into the machine and see if your player is now started or not as all the information is now shown from here.
   
   
10. Strip high ASCII characters (e.g. ASCII colour) when displaying output from a deb install. (This makes NAA install more legible)
    

As usual please refer to the reference guide and FAQ if you havn't done so already. If this your first time updating the firmware and you are feeling apprehensive, please follow this short video guide:
