rev13-test8 released (6 comments)

Added by Adrian Stutz 6 months ago

  • Multiple player instances!
    • Support is still preliminary. There should be no major issues but the handling is not yet fully fleshed out and has these restrictions:
    • Only the first player instance is able to have a playlist.
    • Files will always load in the active instance.
  • Added subtitle scale slider to the inspector.
  • Audio equalizer is now interactive for binaries that have the SMPlayer patch.
  • Support for selecting VOB-subtitles.
  • Clicking on timestamps will cycle them through current time, remaining time and total time.
  • Allow dragging dvd folders onto the player and application icon and make detection of them a bit less pedantic.
  • Don't load local MPlayer configuration files to avoid conflicts.
  • Hide the player window if it's on the same screen that's used for fullscreen.
  • Fix the prerelease autoupdate switch not having any effect.
  • Fix stream/chapter ordering issue with more than 10 entries.
  • Fix an issue that caused playlist issues for files with multibyte characters and for restarting dvd-playback.
  • Fix audio/stream cycle buttons in fullscreen.

  • Redesigned player window! Big thanks to Nick Saia.

Added by Adrian Stutz 6 months ago

  • Refactor video view and add proper locking (should fix a crash on Leopard when switching fullscreen).
  • Rename Keep/Pan-Scan to Zoom to Fit/Zoom to Fill/Stretch to Fill and add the option to preferences.
  • Fix pause getting stuck in test4.
  • Fix key commands getting sent to a button instead of MPlayer.

Email sending fixed

Added by Adrian Stutz 7 months ago

Ever since I've switched to Redmine there have been troubles with receiving emails from Redmine (e.g. notifications or password recoveries).

I thought I fixed it but apparently didn't. Now it's fixed (hopefully).

If you have an problems, mail me directly at .

rev13-test3 released (5 comments)

Added by Adrian Stutz 7 months ago

New in rev13-test3:

  • Further major refactoring. Many things could be broken so please report them if you notice anything.
  • New inspector window:
    • Merges settings and statistics windows.
    • Will be expanded in future updates.
    • Playback settings allow to adjust playback speed, audio delay and subtitle delay.
  • Key handling is now only done by MPE, which allows these improvements:
    • Pausing sticks! Seek, restart, switch fullscreen etc without MPlayer always unpausing.
    • Framestep now works properly.
    • Escape now exits fullscreen without closing the file.
    • Keys are now all mapped to menu commands (and actually trigger them).
    • ... Which means you can change them in the Keyboard System Prefernces.
  • Much improved parallelized preflight for items added to the playlist.
  • Refactored per-file settings. Files in the playlist will remember their settings and save/load them.
  • Add a recent files menu.
  • Update subtitle scale without restart.
  • Fix playlist toolbar customization.
  • Fix Apple Remote on Snow Leopard.
  • Fix Screensaver prevention on Leopard (hopefully!).
  • Fix auto-updating binary bundles (don't do a restart - MPE now requires a custom Sparkle build).
  • New MPlayer and MPlayer-MT binaries r30229 from 2010-01-05
    • Improved detection of initially selected streams.
    • Switched to up-to-date external libass (version 0.9.8+).
