Mplayerosx

This update removes a couple of features! Please read below to see what's been removed.

New in rev13-test1:

• Completely reworked preferences dialog:
  • More spacious, more concise, less clutter.
  • Autosaving and smart detection if a restart as necessary.
  • Token-field for entering preferred languages
  • Custom screenshot save locations.
  • Expanded and improved additional options pane
• New support for MPlayer Binary Bundles
  • Add different MPlayer binaries and switch between them easily
  • FFmpeg-MT support superseded by a binary bundle
  • Auto-update of bundles independent of GUI
  • Force 32bit on 64bit systems to use binary codecs
• Custom aspect ratio can now be set from the menu
• Switching aspect ratio resizes video window
• Cleaned up on-top handling
• Fontconfig cache rebuild message is now a sheet

¶

rev13-test still uses the rev12 MPlayer binary. I'll push a new one through the autoupdate in a couple of days.

Removed in rev13-test1:

• Video output selection:
  Starting from rev13, MPE will only support the integrated video output. This removes a lot of complicated state-synchronization between MPE and MPlayer and will help to further improve the user experience (like cleaning up key-handling).
  Note that this doesn't mean chrome-less video output will not come back. The important change is that MPE always handles video output. A chrome-less mode will follow in a later revision.
• ASS subtitles are now always enabled:
  Again, this reduces duplicate code paths and simplifies subtitle option handling. If you really want to disable ASS, just add "-noass" to the advanced options.
• Skiploopfitler and Fast options:
  The skiploopfilters and fast options have been merged into a less cryptic "optimize for decoding performance by degrading quality" option. If you specifically need one of those options, set then in the advanced options.
• Equalizers are temporarily removed:
  The equalizers shouldn't be in the preferences window. They will be re-added as separate controls in a later test version.
