[b]Version 0.5.21[/b] * Updated the Brazilian Portuguese translation. * Moved the video and audio sections in Preferences->General to a new tab, and moved also the font section in Subtitles to another tab, to try to make the preferences dialog smaller. [b]Version 0.5.20[/b] * Updated the German, Ukrainian, Portuguese and Romanian translations. * Now it will exit from compact mode before playing an audio file. Otherwise the GUI would not have any menus or buttons at all. * Temporary fix: in playlist, the latest_dir won't be changed when adding multiple files, to avoid that wrong paths with dvd:, vcd:... could be used. [b]Version 0.5.19[/b] * Updated the German and Polish translations. * (Windows) The priority of the SMPlayer process is changed accordingly to the priority of MPlayer (SMPlayer will try to run with higher priority). Note: not much tested. * As a lot of people have complained, I changed "Brazilian Portuguese" and "Portuguese from Portugal" to "Portuguese - Brazil" and "Portuguese - Portugal". [b]Version 0.5.18[/b] * Updated the Russian translation. * Added support for audio CDs (only tested with one disc) so please test yourself and report problems. Test also if VCD and DVD still work properly. Note: I don't know if this option will work on Windows, I never could play an audio CD with the Windows version of MPlayer. [b]Version 0.5.17[/b] * Updated the Brazilian Portuguese, Slovak, Ukrainian, German and Portuguese from Portugal translations. * Now QCoreApplication::arguments () will be used to read the arguments from command line if Qt > 4.1. On NT-based Windows this should allow the program to get the right characters if the filename contains characters from other alphabets. [b]Version 0.5.16[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian and Polish translations. * Added two new translations: Romanian and Portuguese from Portugal. [b]Version 0.5.15[/b] * Updated the Russian, Italian, Swedish, German, Ukrainian, Polish and Simplified-Chinese translations. * (By user request) Added an option in Preferences->General to enable the postprocessing filter for all videos. [b]Version 0.5.14[/b] * Updated the Swedish, Ukrainian and Polish translations. * I think for volume normalization it's best to have a global option, so I added a volume normalization option in Preferences->General. If checked the volnorm filter will be used for all files. * Added an option in Preferences->General to set the maximum amplification level for softvol. By default 110. Valid range 10-10000. [b]Version 0.5.13[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Polish translations. * (By user request) Now the mouse wheel can be configured to zoom the video (Preferences->Keyboard and mouse->Mouse). Note: compatibility couldn't be kept, if you have previosly changed the behavior of the mouse wheel you'll need to change it again. * Now the options in the menu Video->Size will always be executed even if the option is already selected. Useful if you resized the window. Also added shortcuts for Size->100% and Size->200% (Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2) and I'm very sorry but these shortcuts can't be changed (and these shortcuts will only work if the menu is visible). * (By user request) Added the option Audio->Filters->Volume normalization. Note: this option only affects the current file, if you want the filter to be used for all files add "volnorm" to the audio filters field in Preferences->Advanced. * (By user request) Clicking in the system tray icon with the mouse middle button pauses/unpauses the file. * Now tooltips for QActions are explicitly created, to try to work around a bug in Qt 4.3. [b]Version 0.5.12[/b] * Updated the Swedish, German and Ukrainian translations (although changes I've just made could have broken them...) * Reorganized a little bit the preferences dialog, by using several tab widgets. This prevents that sections grow to much. * Better explained the "MPlayer language" section (I hope) and added regular expressions for Spanish, Italian, German and French in the comboboxes, taken from the MPlayer translation files (completely untested!). [b]Version 0.5.11[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations. * Shortcuts for previous and next items in playlist didn't work in main window. Fixed. * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to use the new -subfont option in MPlayer. In the future SMPlayer will try to autodetect when this option is needed. * Added in Preferences a new section: MPlayer language, where the user can change some of the texts that SMPlayer looks for. Intended in case that MPlayer displays its messages in another language. (Unfortunately MPlayer can't change language at runtime). [b]Version 0.5.10[/b] * Moved the denoise submenu inside the video filter menu. * (By user request) Added the option "AC3/DTS pass-through S/PDIF" in Preferences->General. It will simply add "-afm hwac3" to the command line. * Renamed "Yadif (mode 0)" to "Yadif (normal)", and "Yadif (mode 1)" to "Yadif (double framerate)". [b]Version 0.5.9[/b] * Updated the Swedish, German, Ukrainian and Polish translations. * The application was probably getting the wrong screen resolution if a virtual desktop was enabled. I hope this is fixed now. [b]Version 0.5.8[/b] * Updated the Italian, Simplified-Chinese and Swedish translations. * Added two new options in the Video->Deinterlace menu: kerndeint and yadif (mode 1). The latter option should give a much more fluid motion than the normal yadif option, but you need a really fast computer, as this option uses a lot of CPU. Some videos require to change the field dominance to work properly, so an option for this will be added in the future. Meanwhile you can pass the option -field-dominance to mplayer if you need it. [b]Version 0.5.7[/b] * Added *.ac3 to the list of audio filters in the open dialogs. * On startup, if the previous height of the window is less than 200, then the window is resized to the default size. * Updated the Polish and German translations. * Updated the instructions to make a deb package in Install.txt. [b]Version 0.5.6[/b] * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations. * Changed the buttons in the floating control from QPushButtons to QToolButtons. * Added an option in Preferences to enable or disable the cache. (Cache could be disabled by setting it to 0, but this is clearer). The cache is [b]disabled[/b] by default, as it seems this option causes some trouble with some video formats. As a side effect now videos start to play faster. [b]Version 0.5.5[/b] * Added in the audio menu an option to load an external audio file (and another one to unload it). This allows to watch movies on which the audio track is in an external file (mp3, wav...). Note: if you play the movie again later, you'll see two audio tracks in the menus (the original one, and the external one), but changing tracks doesn't work. Strange things may happen if you do it. * Added the option "dont_use_eq_options" in the config file, ([preferences] section). If set to true, smplayer won't pass the options -brightness, -contrast, -hue, and -saturation to mplayer. It seems that some graphic cards don't support them or have some kind of problem with them. * Updated the German translation. * Added an empty icon for gamma (to prevent this slider to be higher than the rest). [b]Version 0.5.4[/b] * The size of the floating control can be changed, editing the config file. Option floating_control_width under the [default_gui] section. The value is a percentage (100 = all screen width, 50 = half of the screen width). By default, 100. * The size and position of the main window will be remembered. * (Qt 4) The balloon that remembers you that the program is already running in the system tray will be shown only 5 times. [b]Version 0.5.3[/b] * Updated the Polish and Russian translations. * New fullscreen control widget, smaller than the previous one. If using Qt 4 it's better not to use the CleanLooks style, its buttons are huge and look awful in this widget. * Fixed bug #1729705 (I hope). This has required a lot of changes, so other bugs may appear. [b]Version 0.5.2[/b] * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations. * (Qt 4) Option Open->Close, now it exits from fullscreen mode before closing the window. * Now most options in the subtitle menu are disabled if there's none subtitle selected. * If the option Play->Repeat is enabled, files will start to play from the beginning. * (By user request) Now it's possible to choose the path of the ini file. This is done by the -ini-path command line option. Example: smplayer -ini-path /tmp will try to read the configuration from /tmp/smplayer.ini. The path is optional, if none is passed then it will use the application path, so "smplayer -ini-path" will read the configuration from smplayer.ini in the application path. This feature requires Qt 4. The option -ini-path (and the optional argument) will be ignored if compiled with Qt 3. This option won't work either with KDE support (and in this case you'll get an error if you try to use the -ini-path option). * Assigned the keys F5 and F6 for show_main_toolbar and show_language_toolbar, and updated shortcuts/default.keys with the new keys. [b]Version 0.5.1[/b] * Updated the Traditional Chinese and Bulgarian translations. * Now the title bar shows "file name - SMPlayer", instead of "SMPlayer - file name". * MPlayer can be compiled to display its texts in another language, but SMPlayer requires the texts to be in English. Unfortunately it's not possible to change the MPlayer language without recompiling. This is a problem. As a work-around I've made some of the internal regular expressions configurable (by editing the config file). rx_endoffile should specify the text that MPlayer outputs when a file has arrived to the end (by default "^Exiting... \\(End of file\\)"). If SMPlayer fails to catch this text, the playlist won't work properly. rx_novideo should specify the text that MPlayer outputs when a file has no video, by default "^Video: no video". If SMPlayer fails to catch this text, the video window won't be hidden when playing sound files. There are other English texts which SMPlayer looks for, but they are far less important (most of them are just simply displayed on the status bar). * (By user request) Created an action to change the window from normal size to double size and vice versa (this new action doesn't appear in any of the menus, it's handled by a key shortcut, by default CTRL+D). The best way would be to add key shortcuts to all Video->Size suboptions, but it's not possible for the moment (I actually can add shortcuts but they won't be configurable). * It seems that it's not a good idea to have the debian subdirectory in the sources, as it can conflict with the one made by package maintainers. As a quick solution, for now I've just renamed it to debian-rvm. If you want to create a deb package with dpkg-buildpackage, just rename it back to debian. [b]Version 0.5.0[/b] * Updated the Italian, German and Ukrainian translations. [b]Version 0.4.30[/b] * Updated the Japanese and Serbian translations. * Added the Traditional Chinese translation. * debian/control: now depends on mplayer | mplayer-nogui * Install.txt: explained how to create a deb package. [b]Version 0.4.29[/b] * Fixed bug #1725272 (the LCD in the floating control didn't show the hours). * Added the debian subdirectory (created in a kubuntu 7.04). This way it's possible to create a deb package. * Updated the German and Ukrainian translations. [b]Version 0.4.28[/b] * Written the documents Install.txt and Release_notes.txt, and updated Readme.txt. * Updated the Polish translation. * Added the Serbian translation. [b]Version 0.4.27[/b] * Applied patch to fix bug #1703280. * Now the tooltip in the system tray icon should display the same as the window title. [b]Version 0.4.26[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, German, Polish, Dutch, Chinese and Turkish translations. [b]Version 0.4.25[/b] * Not providing a default for SSA/ASS style override, as this setting may affect real SSA/ASS subtitles. Added a "whatsthis" help for this field. * Now DESTDIR is used in the Makefile to select the installation directory, and changed the smplayer.spec to use it. * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations. [b]Version 0.4.24[/b] * Updated the Italian and Polish translations. * Added support for SSA/ASS style override (-ass-force-style option in mplayer). As there are a lot of options for styles, I just simply added a line edit so you can enter the styles you want. This option may be very useful with srt/sub files when using the SSA/ASS library, as subtitles may look much nicer. By default, it will use "Bold=1,Outline=2,Shadow=2" which provides a nice black shadow. Info about these styles can be found at: http://www.perlfu.co.uk/projects/asa/ass-specs.doc (look at chapter 5) [b]Version 0.4.23[/b] * Updated the Turkish, German, Ukrainian, Swedish and Polish translations. * Moved all translations to a subdir: src/translations. And if TRANSLATION_PATH is not defined on compilation, smplayer will look for translations in application_path/translations/ (this is intended for Windows). * Changed the default colorkey to 0x020202 (this really was the old colorkey). * Made the colorkey field in preferences editable, so there's two ways to set the colorkey: typing it yourself or selecting a color in the color dialog. Warning: currently no check is performed on the typed value. If the value is invalid it would return 0 (black). The value must be in hexadecimal, this way: #RRGGBB, where RR, GG and BB are the red, green and blue components of the color. [b]Version 0.4.22[/b] * Updated the German translation. * (Playlist) After removing the selected items, it tries to keep the cursor on the same row it was before (previosly the cursor was always moved to the 1st row). * Made the rest of actions translatable. * Added an option in the preferences dialog (subtitles tab) to select the default position of the subtitles. 100 means the bottom of the video window while 0 mean the top. * The colorkey is configurable now. Preferences->Advanced. [b]Version 0.4.21[/b] * Updated the Turkish translation. * Parses the StreamTitle line from Shoutcast streams, and displays it in the info window and title bar. [b]Version 0.4.20[/b] * Updated the Japanese, Czech, Polish, Italian and Chinese translations. * Floating control: don't assume that in fullscreen mode the screen starts at 0x0 (it might be on a 2nd monitor). This may fix the problem on which the floating control may show on the wrong monitor. * Playlist: the playlist is now only marked as "modified" only when changed by the user (and not when smplayer adds items to it, for instance, the files loaded from command line). * (By user request) New option in preferences (config file only): initial_panscan_factor. It specifies the default zoom value all new videos will have (by default 1.0). [b]Version 0.4.19[/b] * Updated the German and Russian translations. * Changed the colorkey. The one in 0.4.18 didn't work on Windows with directx. * Added a system tray icon if compiled with Qt 3 and KDE support. [b]Version 0.4.18[/b] * Updated the Swedish, German and Ukrainian translations. * Qt 4: now the time and volume sliders should work better. Previously it wasn't easy to drag the slider's handle if it was bigger than usual. Now the actual size of the handle is taken into account so dragging should work as expected. [b]Version 0.4.17[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, German, Russian, Polish and Bulgarian translations. * Added the Swedish translation. * Now you can open several files through command line: smplayer video1.avi video2.avi music.mp3 or smplayer *.mp3 The first file will be opened by a function which is able to handle *.m3u files and directories. The rest will simply be added to the playlist. As this feature has required important changes, it might have introduced bugs. Report if you notice something strange. * Fixed a bug in the playlist. The first item played wasn't marked sometimes as played. [b]Version 0.4.16[/b] * Updated the Chinese and Russian translations. * Added support for the sub_step command (in the Subtitles menu). This allow you to move to the previous or next subtitle line in the subtitle files. It can help you to synchronize the subtitles. Note: this setting is not saved, reasons: 1) if you need to use these options maybe it's because the subtitle file has a serious sinchronization problem and you'll probably have to adjust the subtitles several times, 2) it's not easy to do it. * At last the "+10 seconds", "+1 minute"... options in the menus show the actual time to jump (if you modified the default values in preferences). [b]Version 0.4.15[/b] * Updated the Italian translation. * Server commands: the playlist functions now work with Qt 4. * The function of the mouse buttons are configurable again. With this smplayer retrieves all functionality from 0.4.7. [b]Version 0.4.14[/b] * Updated the Polish, Ukrainian and German translations. * The function command in server should work again. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do "telnet localhost 8000" (or the port configured in preferences) and type "list functions". This feature allows to control smplayer remotely. Note: I've just realized that the playlist functions currently don't work if using Qt 4. [b]Version 0.4.13[/b] * Updated the German, Russian and Chinese translations. * Added the Turkish translation. * Actions editor: checking for conflicts, now it will only beep due to conflicts after editing a shortcut. This prevents beeps when entering in the preferences dialog, which can be confuse for the user. * Actions editor: now it will display error message if the key shortcut file can't be saved or loaded. * Actions editor: Shortcuts are shown left aligned. * I spent some time writing a widget which would allow to enter a shortcut just pressing the key (or combination of keys), instead of typing it. I took some code from qt-3 designer, and yes, it works pretty well. But at the end I'm not using it... it doesn't work well with qt 4 (some keys can't be entered, like Tab or the cursors). And moreover with qt 3 it isn't really possible to enter all keys. For instance with a Spanish keyboard it seems impossible to enter the key ">". But in case you want to try it yourself, edit the file actionseditor.cpp and change the line #define USE_KEYCHOOSER 0 to #define USE_KEYCHOOSER 1 [b]Version 0.4.12[/b] * The actions editor is now in the preferences dialog. * Now smplayer will look for icons in a directory named "themes" instead of "icons" (defined with THEMES_PATH in Makefile). This is because in the future there might be more things besides icons. * smplayer will look for key shortcuts files in a directory named "shortcuts" (SHORTCUTS_PATH in Makefile). * Updated the German, Russian and Ukrainian translations. [b]Version 0.4.11[/b] * Fixed a bug in actions editor: default shortcuts were lost on first run. If you used 0.4.10 edit the config file and delete the [actions] section. * More improvements in actions editor. Now it's possible to save the actions to a external file, and load it. It also checks for conflicts (the same shortcut assigned to other actions). * Removed the src/icons directory. Icons will be in another package (and current Makefile is broken, don't try "make install"). [b]Version 0.4.10[/b] * Actions editor: now the actions are saved and loaded to the config file. [b]Version 0.4.9[/b] * Fixed a segfault when selected Open->Quit (Qt 4). * Using UTF-8 for all QTextStreams in server.cpp and client.cpp. * Updated the Russian, Ukrainian, Chinese, Polish, Dutch and Italian translations. * More improvements on the actions editor. Better code for Qt 4, and now it shows the icon and name of the action, along with the description. The actions editor is far to be finished so it's hidden. If you want to see it, press G. You can change the shortcuts by double clicking in the shortcuts cell. The new shortcuts you define will work for the current session, but they won't be saved. [b]Version 0.4.8[/b] * Updated the German translation. * Using now QActions for all key shortcuts. * Started to write the actions editor. [b]Version 0.4.7[/b] * Updated the Polish, German, Ukrainian and Italian translations. * As the panscan feature seems to work well, even in Windows, I added a new submenu "Panscan" in the Video menu. The videos should also remember the zoom value. [b]Version 0.4.6[/b] * Experimental pan&scan feature. It's possible to move the video window (left, right, up and down) and also zoom it. You increase zoom with key "E" and decrease with "W". You can move the window with ALT + cursor keys. This is experimental, just to test if this can be done. The settings are not saved anywhere, in fact resizing the window resets all values to the defaults. Note: the zoom affects the OSD too, including subtitles. [b]Version 0.4.5[/b] * The fix in 0.4.4 actually brokes smplayer on Windows. The video disappears when the video is resized. So now this is an option that can be enabled or disabled (Preferences->Advanced, Don't repaint the background of the video window). This option is Off by default, as it works well in linux with Qt 3 and on Windows with Qt 4. If you use Qt 4 on linux and have the problem mentioned in the 0.4.4 changelog, you may check this option and see if it helps. [b]Version 0.4.4[/b] * Updated the Slovak, German, Ukrainian and Polish translations. * A very important fix (at least for me). Now when the main window is resized the video should not flicker at all (I made this specially for Qt 4, where the flicker was very annoying, but at the end the result is much better with Qt 3). The most important is that this fixes a repaint problem with Qt 4. Sometimes the video window got black (totally or partially) when closing another window (or menu) that was over it (I could reproduce it by entering in the preferences dialog, and changing the language). I don't know if someone else had this problem (I didn't get any report about it), but it happened to me and it was really annoying. Now this is FIXED!!! [b]Version 0.4.3[/b] * On startup the toolbars always appeared even if they were hidden in the previous session. Fixed (I hope). * Changes in playlist: now if the playlist has been changed, it will ask you to save it before loading a another playlist. It will also ask you if you try to open a dvd or vcd, because that clears the playlist. It won't ask you when you close the application, because the current playlist is saved to the config file and so it will retrieved on startup. * Merged the info window and advanced file settings in one thing: "View info & properties". * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.4.2[/b] * If in compact mode, on startup the toolbars were visible. Fixed. * Some improvements on the playlist docked in the main window, but there are still some issues. I'm afraid this can't be completely fixed until the application is ported to Qt 4. [b]Version 0.4.1[/b] * Updated the Chinese, Russian, Italian, German, Ukrainian and Polish translations. * Some options in menus didn't update the name after a language change. Fixed. * Some improvements in the tray icon: - If the main window is hidden, it will became visible just before playing a video. Now this works too with the (playlist) next and previous options. - The tray icon shows a tooltip with the name of the current file. - Added two options to the context menu: playlist and preferences. * The playlist saves to the config file the current playlist just before quiting and loads again on startup. * Renamed the Exit option to Close. If the system tray icon is not activated then the Close option finishes the application. But if the system tray icon is activated then it just hides it. The Quit option always finishes the application, no matter if the tray icon is activated or not (the Quit option doesn't show if Qt < 4.2). [b]Version 0.4.0[/b] Initially version 0.4.0 was to be released once the key shortcuts were configurable. But as it seems it still takes some time for that, and considering that I've implemented some things actually planned for future versions (VCD, system tray icon) I change to 0.4.0 now (even though I've just implemented the system tray icon and it may have bugs). Main objective for 0.5.0 is still configurable shortcuts, and I expect it to be soon, very soon. * More improvements in tray icon. Just test it. Remember that you need to compile at least with Qt 4.2. I think this feature is now quite usable. There's a known problem, though, the next and previous options in the context menu don't force a show() in the main window. This is ok for music. But if it's a video then the main window won't appear until you make visible yourself. * The main window only shows once on startup, that prevents that the main window can be seen for a little moment without toolbars. * The width of the floating control can be configured (for now just by editing the configuration file, look for floating_control_width, the value is the desired width in %, by default 75%). * Now if you select Open->VCD and the cdrom device is not configured, a warning will show and then the preferences dialog will open so you can configure it. * Disabled style switching again, because it crashes with Qt 4 (I find Qt 4 more unstable than Qt 3...) * Updated the Ukrainian and Bulgarian translations. [b]Version 0.3.45[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Russian translations. * Some improvements in the tray icon. Now it has a new context menu, and it saves its state (mainly if the main window is visible or not) to recover it on startup. Unfortunately it doesn't work well if the single instance option is activated. And if you click on the close button the application will hide but it will still running in the tray. [b]Version 0.3.44[/b] * Added the Bulgarian translation. * Updated the Polish translation. * Qt 4: Made the repaint of the mplayer window more or less like Qt 3. At least this seems to fix some small cuts in the audio when resizing. But still the window is getting black after changing the language in preferences. I don't know why. Report if you find problems with this (more flickering than before or something). * Started to implement the system tray icon. You need Qt 4.2 to see it. [b]Version 0.3.43[/b] * Updated the Dutch translation. * When DOCK_PLAYLIST is set 1, the playlist was always shown when exiting from fullscreen, even if it was hidden previously. Fixed. * Qt 4: now the time (and volume) slider go to the point you click on the bar. * Windows: the playlist was always above the main window. This should be fixed now. The VCD option in the Open menu is disabled, as mplayer in Windows doesn't support VCDs yet. Anyway you can watch VCDs by opening the *.dat files you'll see in the drive. * STYLE_SWITCHING option in config.h activated by default now. This will allow you to switch the Qt style at runtime (Preferences->Interface). This option wasn't enabled by default because it seems it had some issues (some colors might not be correct). Anyway I let you to test it. [b]Version 0.3.42[/b] * VCD support has triggered a problem. If title #1 of a VCD (or DVD) can't be played, the GUI doesn't get the info of the rest of titles (which probably could be played). Now the application detects that case and passes that info. * Now when a VCD or DVD start to play, all titles are added to the playlist (clearing all previous contents), so when a title finishes the next one will be played. * I think those 2 previous things can improve DVD support. Because it seems that a lot of people got confused when the first title of a DVD didn't play, even thinking that smplayer can't play DVDs at all. Now if the first title fails the 2nd will be played. Anyway I couldn't test this, because I don't have any DVD which first title doesn't play. * Added the option vcd_initial_title for preferences (this is a config option, it's not in the preferences dialog yet). It specifies the title number which should be played when you select Open->VCD. By default 2. * And added support for VCDs in other parts of the code. For instance the info window recognizes VCDs and displays a different icon for them. Or you can play a VCD through command line: [i]smplayer vcd://3[/i] (will play title #3), or just simply [i]smplayer vcd:[/i] (which is the same as selecting Open->VCD). * Now the option Video->Aspect ratio->Autodetect will use the aspect ratio of the mplayer window, instead of the file aspect rato. That makes that some filters could work better. (Anyway I don't know if this could have any secondary effect...) * Renamed the icon them Test as Oxygen. [b]Version 0.3.41[/b] * Updated the Hungarian translation. * Started the VCD stuff. Now you can play VCD's. But... to implement this feature I used a VCD created by k3b with 2 videoclips. mplayer reports that there are 3 titles in the disc. The first one can't be played (maybe it has control info or something), but that makes that smplayer doesn't get the info about available titles. To "fix" it smplayer will start to play all VCDs from title 2 (instead of 1) but of course I'm not sure if it is safe to assume that all discs (in mplayer) start at title 2. So if you have a lot of VCDs, please test. BTW, I think mplayer on Windows doesn't support VCDs... [b]Version 0.3.40[/b] * Added a new icon theme "Silk" created by ilGaspa (http://www.phpbbplanet.com/smplayer/viewtopic.php?t=116) * Added another icon theme "MacLike", by Charles Barcza. * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations. * Qt 4: The video equalizer lost its icons everytime an icon theme change was made. Fixed. * It seems that drag&drop didn't work with filenames with non-latin1 characters if the drag was made from Konqueror. It seems the problem that kde encodes the filenames using the current locale but Qt expects to be in UTF-8. Now drag&drop from Konqueror should work but it's required to compile smplayer with kde support. Of course, if your system's encoding is UTF-8 then there's not problem at all. * Tried to avoid the use of double slashes (/usr//share...) in paths. [b]Version 0.3.39[/b] * Updated the Czech, Polish, French, German and Spanish translations. * KDE support fixes: now the embedded icons should show again. Now you can pass a filename to open from command line. * Changes in Makefile. if "make KDE_SUPPORT=1" doesn't work for you, edit the Makefile and change the kde paths. You also can pass the paths through command line, example: make KDE_SUPPORT=1 KDE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/kde [b]Version 0.3.38[/b] * Moved most of the single instance stuff to another class (CSManager). That simplifies the BaseGui code. * Fixed an old bug. If the server which smplayer tries to connect to on startup doesn't respond anything, smplayer will wait and wait... forever. Now it waits 4 seconds, after that smplayer starts and reports to the user about the problem, and disables the single instance option. * KDE dialogs: now the Qt filters are converted to the KDE format. Now the KDE dialogs should work. * Now you can compile smplayer with KDE support just by typing: make KDE_SUPPORT=1 * Updated the Japanese, Russian and Czech translations. [b]Version 0.3.37[/b] * Set the focus to video window after the user has selected an audio or subtitle from the toolbar. * Now the video should keep paused the when switching to fullscreen mode. * Finally I could compile smplayer with kde support. Now smplayer can show the kde open dialogs. But it seems that the filter parameter is not fully compatible with the Qt dialogs, so some of the dialogs could be useless. I'll try to fix it anyway. There are also other problems: the embedded icons don't show, you'll have to use any other icon set. And for some reason the application path is changed to /usr/bin so smplayer could have problems finding its files. If you want to test it, edit the smplayer.pro and look for "KDE_SUPPORT" and uncomment the 3 lines (and change the kde paths...). I'll try to make it easier in future releases. Ah, don't forget to compile with Qt 3. * Updated the Polish translation. [b]Version 0.3.36[/b] * Improved a little bit the new subtitles' code. If you're watching a video with subtitles and you load a new subtitle file, smplayer will try to keep using the same subtitle if it is still present (you may think that it would better to select the subtitle from the file that user has loaded, but it's impossible to know which one it is). The same would happen if you unload the subtitle file, smplayer will try to keep the previous selected subtitle, if it's one of the available subtitles. If it's not, the none subtitle will be selected. On the other hand, if you load a subtitle file to a video which didn't have any subtitle, then smplayer may select one subtitle, according to the preferences settings (if subtitle autoload is activated, it will select the first one or the user's preferred language if found). * Now you can drag directories to the playlist. It will add all files in it (it's not recursive, it won't add files in subdirectories). * Now you can open DVD iso files. Just simply select the *.iso file in the Open->File dialog. You can also drag it to the main window or playlist. The file must have the extension iso to be identified. If the image has another extension there's another way to open it, select Open->DVD from folder. This dialog will only allow you to choose a directory but you can type after it the filename. * Updated the German and Georgian translations. [b]Version 0.3.35[/b] * Almost all subtitle code has been rewritten. I think that now it's much better. For instance, now you can load a idx/sub file and you'll be able to select among all languages that the file provides. You can have a mkv file with embedded subtitles, load an idx/sub file (or srt, sub...) and all subtitles will be available. There's also a new option in the subtitles menu to unload the previous subtitle file you might have loaded. This new code is still under testing, and it could have bugs. If you see something strange, please report. * Updated the Ukrainian, Czech, Georgian, Polish, Russian and Chinese translations. [b]Version 0.3.34[/b] * Updated the Dutch, Ukrainian, German, Polish and Italian translations. * Added the Czech translation by Martin Dvořák. * Some cosmetic changes: new about dialog, and now the language combo in preferences displays the language name, along with the ISO code. [b]Version 0.3.33[/b] * Changes in playlist: converted the buttons and menus to QAction's. This has required to make the playlist a QMainWindow (it was a QWidget before). * And added again the previous and next buttons to main window. * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.3.32[/b] * Updated the Russian and Polish translations. * Added options to hide the toolbars (in the Options menu). [b]Version 0.3.31[/b] * Created a new floating control widget. This time it's not a toolbar so I hope that this finally fixes the problems with the floating control. [b]Version 0.3.30[/b] * Updated the Polish, Hungarian and Chinese translations. * Some people report that the control widget doesn't appear where it should but a little bit above the bottom. I tried to fix it by reparenting the widget and changing the flags. It seems to work well with Qt 3, but with Qt 4 it does really strange things: the widget is huge. Resize doesn't work or crashed the program. So finally the code is disabled (even for Qt 3). If you wanna to test it: edit the config.h and set REPARENT_CONTROLWIDGET to 1 (and recompile). [b]Version 0.3.29[/b] * Updated the German translation. * Fixed a crash when using Qt 4 with the new control widget. * Now the control widget displays over the video, not moving it. * You can now drag a subtitle file to the main window. * Tried to use the kde open dialog, unsuccessfully. [b]Version 0.3.28[/b] * Updated the German, Polish and Ukrainian translations. * Updated the French translation by David * Now the control widget is only one toolbar, but if it gets too small it will replaced by another widget with less buttons. [b]Version 0.3.21 - 0.3.27[/b] * A lot of internal changes: now QAction's are used for most of the menus, constants have been changed to enums. Due to the amount of changes it's possible that something could have broken. Please test it, specially audio and subtitle selection, aspect ratio options, and well... everything in the menus... * The Gui class has been divided into BaseGui and DefaultGui. The intention of this it to allow to create alternative GUI's easily (when I say GUI in fact I mean the main window). The DefaultGui is less than 300 lines of code. * The new GUI has been written from scratch and it has some toolbars. This GUI has been written today in a few hours and it's not finished yet. Unfortunately the "controlwidget over the video" from previous releases has not been implemented yet in this GUI. * Updated the Italian, German, Hungarian and Russian translations. * Added the Georgian translation. [b]Version 0.3.20[/b] * Added new icon themes by Charles Barcza. * Updated the German and Polish translations. * The controlwidget over the video now it seems that works too with Qt 3, so now it's activated by default. Please test it. * The priority options in preferences are hidden too in Qt 4 (priority is for Windows only). * Removed the old fullscreen code. [b]Version 0.3.19[/b] * Updated the Chinese, Ukrainian, Russian, German and Polish translations. * It seems that some videos don't start at sec. 0 so now smplayer will try to get the starting time and subtract that time from the current time. That's need for the -ss option to work properly with those videos. * Set some "buddies" in filepreferencesdialog so it can be used with the keyboard. * Some internal changes and small fixes. * New compilation option in config.h: CONTROLWIDGET_OVER_VIDEO If set to 1, the controlwidget will be shown in fullscreen *over* the video (not moving the video) when the user move the mouse to the bottom area of the screen. Now if someone knows how to get rid of the KDE taskbar that appears at the same time... [b]Version 0.3.18[/b] * Icon sets: The logo didn't change in the title bar of some windows. Fixed. * (Qt 3 only) Time slider: now the slider goes to the point the user has clicked on. The volume slider has the same behavior. * Now it's possible to choose a preferred language for subtitles. (Only tested with two mkv files). * Added more "whatsthis" help in Preferences (Performance tab). Texts copied from mplayer manpage. * Now the info window shows some icons, according to the media type (video, audio, dvd, url). I'm afraid these icons are not customizable. [b]Version 0.3.17[/b] * Updated the Polish, German and Ukrainian translations. * Added support for Qt 4 stylesheets. Now the icons sets, along with the *.png files, can contain a file named "style.qss". If that file exists smplayer will load it (the Test/ subdirectory includes one, based on a Qt example). This allows to change color, size, style... of all Qt widgets (see screenshots). This feature requires Qt 4.2. The qss file is quite similar to a HTML css file. Detailed info: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/stylesheet.html [b]Version 0.3.16[/b] * Updated the Hungarian, German and Italian translations. * Added the Brazilian portuguese translation. * Added new icon theme blackPanther-Light by Charles Barcza. * Added a new option: Video->Size. This is a global option. If you set it for instance to 150%, all videos will be played at 150% of their original size. (This option won't work if checked "Advanced->Run mplayer in its own window"). [b]Version 0.3.15b[/b] * Updated the Hungarian translation. * Added icon theme blackPanther-VistaLike by Charles Barcza. [b]Version 0.3.15[/b] * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Polish translations. * Fixed a bug. Now you can pass a folder through command line. If it doesn't contain the video_ts folder, the contents of the directory will be added to the playlist. * Options->View info now shows more info about audio tracks and subtitles. * Created a new icon set: "Play" which changes some icons and adds some more. Just an example that shows that's possible to add new icons not present in the default set. [b]Version 0.3.14[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, Russian, Polish, Chinese, Italian and Japanese translations. * Fixed a problem with the new icon set feature in Windows (the icon path wasn't right). * Fixed some bugs with the "initial volume" widgets in preferences. * Process communication: the 2nd instance will send to the 1st instance the filename to be open encoded in UTF-8. * New option in preferences (General) to select a preferred audio language for videos with multiple audio tracks. See the "whatsthis" help to know more about this new option. [b]Version 0.3.13[/b] * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Russian translations. * Made the apply preferences a little bit smarter. Now the mplayer process will be restarted only if needed. For example, changing the video output or the cache settings require mplayer to be restarted, but changing the language or the mouse button function does not. There are a lot of options in the preferences dialog and I'm not tested all of them. Report if some setting is ignored or something. * Now you can change the language of the application at runtime. This has required a lot of changes. Report if some string has been left untranslated. * Configurable icons. Now smplayer can load icon sets. In Preferences->Interface you'll find an option to select an iconset. Currently there are two: Default (the default embeded iconset) and Test (for testing, I've used the oxygen icons gathered by adrian5632) [b]Version 0.3.12[/b] * Added the Ukrainian translation. * Updated the German and Polish translations. * Added the option Video->Stay on top. This is a global option. * Added Preferences->Interface->Language. * Moved the logs stuff from Advanced to a new tab. [b]Version 0.3.11[/b] * Updated the Hungarian and Russian translations. * Sometimes when a video is played, smplayer doesn't get any info about it (you can notice because the aspect ratio may be wrong, length is 0, resolution is 0x0, no info about subtitles...). I think this happens when a video is restarting but you open a new one before restarting is finished (usually happens with internet streams, where a video can take some time to start to play). I think that now this problem is fixed, although I'm not completely sure as this bug is quite difficult to reproduce. * Now you can force the usage of a different language (translation). smplayer currently tries to use the translation file according to your locale. Now you can change the language by editing the configuration file and change the value of the option "language" (under the [Preferences] section). Example: [i]language=es[/i] will display the messages in Spanish, [i]language=fr[/i] will display them in French, [i]language=zh_CN[/i] will display them in Chinese and so on. [b]Version 0.3.10[/b] * Updated the German, Polish, Dutch, Italian, Russian and Chinese translations. * Bug fixed: if "fast seek to chapters in dvds" was checked, the -cache option wasn't used for internet streams. * Some options for logs added (Preferences->Advanced). Now you can disable the mplayer or smplayer logs. There's also an option to filter the smplayer output. Added too "what's this" help for these new options. [b]Version 0.3.9[/b] * Updated the German, Hungarian, Russian and Spanish translations. * Internal change: made pref (Preferences) a global object (I hope not, but this change could have broken something...) This is needed for the following: * A long awaited feature: you can save defaults for the video equalizer. Two buttons have been added to the video equalizer: "reset", will reset all controls to 0. "Set as default value" will store the current values and they will be used for new videos. * Fixed bug #1694644. [b]Version 0.3.8[/b] * Added the Japanese and Dutch translations. * Updated the German, Italian, Polish and Slovak translations. * Added the option EXTERNAL_SLEEP in config.h (this is a compilation option, if you change it, you'll have to recompile). If set to 1, smplayer will use the function usleep from unistd.h instead of QThread::msleep() It can be useful if your Qt doesn't have QThread support. * I started to add some (what's this) help in the preferences dialog. Drag the question mark in the title bar to a field and a text will appear explaining what's that option for. Currently only works in the General tab. [b]Version 0.3.7[/b] * Updated the German translation. * Made changes to try to fix a compilation error in Windows (qmake bug) * Added a "Clear" option in the recent files menu, to clear the list. * Added an option in Play menu, to repeat (loop) the current file. This is a global option. If activated, when the video ends, it will start to play again. As an unintended feature, if the video didn't start from the beginning, when repetition starts it won't start from the beginning but from the point it previously started. An example will explain it better: you have a 2 minute video, you play it with the repeat option off. When it gets to 1 minute you stop it and set the repeat option on. The video will resume play from minute 1. When the video gets to minute 2 (end of video) it will start to play again from minute 1. As I said, this is unintended, but I leave this way because maybe someone could find it useful. [b]Version 0.3.6[/b] * Updated Polish, Italian, Chinese and Russian translations. * All icons are now png files. * Using the option -nofs for the mplayer command line. [b]Version 0.3.5[/b] * Fixed a serious bug if using Qt 3. The key shortcuts were saved to a different file and not loaded. * Started to move from xpm icons to png. Right now a mix of both types is used. All icons in the preferences dialog are now png. Some of the icons in playlist are png too. But most of the icons in the main window are still xpm. As a test I changed the smplayer logo (which in fact is a Vista-Inspirate icon) with a new one designed by Charles Barcza. [b]Version 0.3.4[/b] * Updated the German translation. * Now you can choose the function of the mouse wheel: media seeking or volume control. [b]Version 0.3.3[/b] * Updated the Italian, German, Polish and Chinese translations. * 10s, 1m and 10m seek can be configured: Preferences->GUI. Note: the previous fixed values (10s, 1m, 10m) still appear in the menus and tooltips. I'll fix it soon. * Mouse left click and double click functions can be configured in Preferences->GUI. Note: the left click function is executed too when double clicking. I'll try to fix it, for now I recommend to use one of the two mouse functions, not both. * The initial volume can be configured in Preferences->GUI. [b]Version 0.3.2[/b] * Added the Polish translation. * Removed obsolete texts from all translations. * Added in preferences an option to select the maximum number of items that the "recent files" menu should have. And added too a button to clear the list. * Renamed the Misc section in preferences to GUI. And moved non GUI items that were in this section to others. * Added some icons in the preferences dialog. * Changed some icons. [b]Version 0.3.1[/b] * Updated the German, Italian, Russian and Hungarian translations. * Added some contributed files to the contrib subdirectory. * Added the uninstall section in the Makefile. * Added a smplayer_en_US.ts. Currently it's empty. Can be used to correct the english text, and also can be used to start a translation to other language. [b]Version 0.3.0[/b] This release has only one small fix, but I change the version number to 0.3.0. I think it's time. * The code in mplayerprocess for Windows wasn't used. Now it should be fixed. * Updated the German translation. * Updated the instructions to compile smplayer in README.txt. [b]Version 0.2.44[/b] * Added the Hungarian translation. * Some changes in mplayerprocess.cpp, to make it a little faster. * A new interesting feature has been added: remember, smplayer install a server to listen a port (8000 by default) initially to communicate to other instances. But now that server will understand some more commands. You can connect with it with "telnet localhost 8000" and type "help". For now you can pass any of the key functions. For instance the command "function pause", will pause the movie that smplayer is playing. "function fullscreen" will toggle fullscreen mode. You can get a list of all available functions with "list functions". This feature will allow other people to write small programs or scripts to control smplayer remotely (from another computer) or from a remote control. [b]Version 0.2.43[/b] * Not converting to local 8 bit encoding. It seems that Qt already does, so doing twice only cause trouble. * Using QString::fromLocal8Bit() instead of QTextCodec::codecForLocale()->toUnicode(). I think it's the same... * Updated the Russian translation. * If unchecked the option for remembering media settings, now the settings are not really saved to config file (previously they were saved but not loaded). * Activated by default for Windows, an alternative code in mplayerprocess which seems to be faster, and can fix some slow down problems. [b]Version 0.2.42[/b] * Updated the Chinese and Russian translations. * Convert filename, subtitle filename, and dvd device name to local 8 bit encoding before pass them to mplayer. I don't know if this will fix something or break something. * Some changes in mplayerprocess, trying to fix a problem in Windows, but unfortunately it's not fixed yet. [b]Version 0.2.41[/b] * Mouse left click and double click will work now only in the video window. * Modified the Makefile to make possible to compile with Qt 4 from the source root. ("make prep" will adapt the code for Qt 4 and "make" will compile it). You may need to change the QMAKE variable. * Write some experimental code intented to fix a problem in Windows. Not compiled by default. [b]Version 0.2.40[/b] * Updated the Slovak and German translations. * On Windows smplayer saves position and size of the main window to be restored after exiting from fullscreen mode. * Mouse left click and double click, configurable. For now only by editing the configuration file (look for left_click_function and double_click_function). Valid values are any of the key functions (the list of key functions appears at the beginning of the smplayer log). Example: left_click_function=PAUSE Currently there's a problem: double click executes also the left click function. * Changed the DVD and CD icons in preferences. [b]Version 0.2.39[/b] * Added the Russian translation. * Now the dvd and cdrom devices have no default. If the user tries to play a dvd before configure it, a message box will show requesting him to configure it. After that the preferences dialog will be shown, with the drive's tab selected. * By the way, I've added some icons to the drive's configuration. [b]Version 0.2.38[/b] * Added the Simplified-Chinese translation. * Removed some extra trailing spaces in some phrases. * Added copyright text to the new files. [b]Version 0.2.37[/b] * Updated Italian & German translations. * Added setActiveWindow() too besides raise(); * Raised the time that smplayer waits to mplayer process to finished. Sometimes it's needed to call mplayer to get some info (available output drivers, codecs and so on). There's a problem about terminating that process: if we just wait until the process is finished there's the possibility that smplayer freezes if the mplayer process does. For that reason smplayer waits, but only some time. After that smplayer kills the mplayer process. That time was about 1 second, but sometimes (specially for the first run) mplayer takes more time. Now smplayer will wait as much 10 seconds. [b]Version 0.2.36[/b] * Improved the single instance stuff. Now it seems it works with Qt 4, too. Added a few commands to the server. So now you can talk to it using telnet. * Added some options in the preferences dialog. You can activate or disable the single instance feature, and set the port that the server will use. IMPORTANT: the single instance is disabled by default! Changes in any of these options require smplayer to be restarted. * Added the French translation. It's not complete yet. [b]Version 0.2.35[/b] * Started to write the single instance stuff. Now when smplayer starts it sets a server to listen to a port (by default 8000). When a new instance is run it tries to connect to that port. If it has success it tries to verify that it's really smplayer behind that port. After that it sends to the first instance the file that the user wants to open (if any) and closes. The first instance opens the video. You can change the default port in the configuration file (look for connection_port). Sorry I didn't have time to add an option in the preferences dialog. This works in Qt 3 but fails in Qt 4. I don't know why, by an unknown reason the server in the first instance doesn't receive the open command that the client in the 2nd instance sends. It's too late, I'lltry to fix it tomorrow. By the way, this is the first time I write code relative to sockets, ports, servers, clients... so someone more experienced is welcome to take a look to the code and to try to fix it. [b]Version 0.2.34[/b] * Internal changes: moved Images and Keys to global. * Key shortcuts are loaded from config file. That means the now it's possible to change key shortcuts. * Preferences are saved when user press Ok or Apply in the preferences dialog. * Moved the "Include subtitles on screenshots" from General to Subtitles tab. * Fixed a bug with -cache and fast dvd chapter switch. The cache was disabled even if not playing a dvd. [b]Version 0.2.33[/b] * Made settings a global object. A lot of internal changes, something could have broken. [b]Version 0.2.32[/b] * Fixed a little bug in playlist. * No flickering at all in the video when opening menus in Windows. * Rewritten keys.h, keys.cpp. Key shortcuts are saved. [b]Version 0.2.31[/b] * Added the Italian translation made by Giancarlo Scola. * Now drag&drop urls works with Firefox, if compiled with Qt 3. It already worked with Qt 4! As a secondary effect now plain text can be dropped into smplayer (Qt 3 only). * New option: Options->Show frame counter. If checked the current frame will be displayed in the status bar. Don't work properly with some formats. [b]Version 0.2.30[/b] * Ok, I've just found out how to disable double buffering in a widget. So the blinking problem with Qt is definitely fixed now (I hope). [b]Version 0.2.29[/b] * In linux, using Qt 4, the video window has an annoying blink every time a menu is open. As a quick fix I'm disabling double buffering. That fixes that problem, but now some widgets may be displayed not completely drawn. * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.2.28[/b] * Now you can drag&drop urls from a web browser. You can test it dragging the urls on this page: http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/streams.html * Added the option "include subtitles on screenshots" in Preferences. If checked subtitles will appear on screenshots taken with the option Video->Screenshot. Otherwise subtitles won't appear on screenshots. [b]Version 0.2.27[/b] * Fixed a problem with the "frame step" option. Sometimes instead of one frame it could advance 2 (or more?) frames. * Added the option Open->Playlist (it was already possible to open a playlist from the Open->File, but well, this way will be easier). A dialog will allow you to open a m3u or m3u8 playlist. The playlist will be loaded and will start to play, but the playlist window won't be opened (not because I wanted that way, just because it was easier...) * In fullscreen mode, when you drag the time slider, the "jump to..." message will be displayed in the OSD. [b]Version 0.2.26[/b] * Fixed some problems with the new fullscreen mode, so now it's the default. Please test it! * Added an option who people with wide screens can find useful: 16:9 letterbox. If you play for instance a 2.35:1 movie, this option will add black borders to fit 16:9. The interesting thing is that subtitles will appear in the bottom border. [b]Version 0.2.25[/b] * Made the "experimental fullscreen mode" the default one and delete the the old code. * Written a new experimental fullscreen mode ;) To test it you have to edit the file config.h and change the FULLSCREEN_WITH_MAINWINDOW 0 to FULLSCREEN_WITH_MAINWINDOW 1 and recompile. With this option, the fullscreen mode will be made through the main window (hiding the menu bar, control widget and status bar) In this mode if you move the mouse near the bottom of the screen the control widget will be shown, and if you move it near the top the menu bar will appear. Problem: I couldn't hide everything, two grey lines appear, one on the top, the other on the bottom... that's why this option is set to 0 by default. I hope I can fix it in the future... [b]Version 0.2.24[/b] * Added the Slovak translation by Peter Mendel. * Hopefully fixed a compilation error in Qt 4 under linux. * The playlist broke in one of the recent changes: items didn't start to play from the beginning. Fixed. * Now if the shuffle button is ON in the playlist, playing will always start from a random item (not the first). * Parse the ID_SUBTITLE_ID tag. * Try to call initializeMenus() and updateWidgets() only when needed. initializeMenus() seems to be causing problems (crashes) in Qt 4 if it modifies the same menu we've just used. Now initializeMenus() is called only once the video has started to play, not before. I hope not, but this change may have broken something. Testing needed. initializeMenus() is responsible of creating the audio, subtitle, dvd title and chapter switching menus. updateWidgets() is responsible of updating the widgets (like setting the mute button on/off), but also of keeping the menus updated (setting the check mark on activated options). [b]Version 0.2.23[/b] * I've realized that the latest mplayer builds for Windows don't play a dvd if the dvd-device ends with "/" (-dvd-device E:/ will fail). The same happens with folders (C:/Videos/My DVD/ will fail, C:/Videos/My DVD will work). So now smplayer removes those trailing "/". [b]Version 0.2.22[/b] * Improved support for playing dvds from folders. In order to properly identify these dvd folders, I invented a protocol. In mplayer you should use something like this: mplayer dvd://1. That would play the first title of the dvd. You can use that too with smplayer: smplayer dvd://1. But now you can add after it a folder, this way: smplayer dvd://1:/tmp/movies/dvd5 (where dvd5 is a directory which contains at least video_ts). smplayer dvd://2:/tmp/movies/dvd5 will play title 2. You can pass the directory only (forgeting the dvd://number) smplayer /tmp/movies/dvd5 * Open->Directory will autodetect if the selected directory contains a ripped dvd (currently it only checks if it contains a video_ts) and in that case will play the dvd instead of adding the individual files to the playlist. * Drag&drop also works. You can drag a folder to the main window. If it contains a dvd it will play it, otherwise the files of the directory will be added to the playlist. * Accidentally you can also drag a folder containing a dvd to the playlist and it will work. [b]Version 0.2.21[/b] * Playing a DVD from a folder: make things even clearer. Removed the stuff in preferences and added "Open->DVD from folder". It'll ask you for a directory where video_ts and audio_ts should be (it seems that it also work if you select the directory with the *.vob and *.ifo files). So now "Open->DVD" will only play real DVDs in your dvd drive. * Added a Open->Directory option. It will add the files in the chosen directory (not recursively) to the playlist (after clearing it) and start playing the first item. To fix: it will start playing always the first item even if the shuffle button in the playlist is on. [b]Version 0.2.20[/b] * Fixes a silly bug with -brightness 0. I changed -contrast 0 instead of brightness... * Now subtitles appear on screenshots. * It has always been possible to play ripped dvds from hard disc, but for making things clearer, I've added in the preferences dialog some options to select a directory from hard disc which should contain the video_ts (and audio_ts). [b]Version 0.2.19[/b] * The brightness issue in mplayer (windows) is giving me a headache. Remember: the image is brighter than it should in windows (directx) with -brightness 0. As a work-around I set the soft video equalizer as default, but that conflicts with others video output drivers as gl or directx:noaccel. So going back. The soft video equalizer is not the default, and to prevent the bright image -brightness 0 will not be used in Windows. * Added a new option in preferences: fast audio track switching. This is the default. If unchecked, audio track switching will restart mplayer, which is a little bit slow, but that should make possible to switch audio tracks in containers apart from avi, mpeg and mkv. [b]Version 0.2.18[/b] * Reordered the recent files stuff. I hope this fixed the crash problem with Qt 4. * Now the default encoding for subtitles is ISO-8859-1 instead of latin1 (it's the same encoding, just a name change, so it can be found in the new encoding list). * Renamed the videoequalizer2 to videoequalizer. * The inforeader won't wait the mplayer process to finish for ever. It'll wait for some seconds and if the mplayer process is not finished then it will kill it. This way if the mplayer process for some reason hangs, smplayer won't do the same. * Disable software video equalizer (-vf eq2) when using gl or gl2 as video output driver, as they seem to be incompatible. * The file passed through the command line is now send to the new open function with autodetection of media type. That means that you can pass a local file, a dvd (in the form of dvd://1, dvd://2...), a playlist (*.m3u or *.m3u8), or stream. [b]Version 0.2.17[/b] * Added a stereo mode menu, where you can select: stereo, left channel or right channel. According to mplayer manpage this seems to be only for MP2/MP3. * At last added a "recent files" menu. Currently it shows the 10 recent files opened. [b]Version 0.2.16[/b] * It seems that the new way of changing dvd chapters doesn't work well in Windows, so now it's disabled by default but you can activate it in the preferences dialog. * The shift key is now ignored, and can't be used as modifier for key shortcuts. * Added in the preferences dialog a combobox to select the encoding of the subtitles. [b]Version 0.2.15[/b] * Added in the preferences dialog an option to autosync audio/video. This is what the manpage of mplayer says about it: -autosync Gradually adjusts the A/V sync based on audio delay measure- ments. Specifying -autosync 0, the default, will cause frame timing to be based entirely on audio delay measurements. Speci- fying -autosync 1 will do the same, but will subtly change the A/V correction algorithm. An uneven video framerate in a movie which plays fine with -nosound can often be helped by setting this to an integer value greater than 1. The higher the value, the closer the timing will be to -nosound. Try -autosync 30 to smooth out problems with sound drivers which do not implement a perfect audio delay measurement. With this value, if large A/V sync offsets occur, they will only take about 1 or 2 seconds to settle out. This delay in reaction time to sudden A/V offsets should be the only side-effect of turning this option on, for all sound drivers. * Now the info window updates in realtime. And the filename will be displayed in smplayer window title. * New functions: prev and next chapter (keys ! and @) It should work with dvd chapters and matroshka chapters. * Now selecting a dvd chapter is much much faster (now mplayer is not restarted). Note: this new method doesn't work at least with the version of mplayer I'm using (dev-SVN-r21937) if -cache is used in the command line. If it happens to you too, the work-around is to set the cache to 0 in the preferences dialog. [b]Version 0.2.14[/b] * On Windows the option to use the software video equalizer will be check by default (when running for first time), as a work-around for the bright image problem. * As suggested by Amnon82 in the forum, added a menu for selecting the number of audio channels (mplayer will try to used the specified number of channels, but it will depend on the media). Options are: default (the -channels options will not be passed to mplayer) stereo (2 channels) 4.0 Surround (4 channels) 5.1 Surround (6 channels) * Added a debugging message identifying the OS on which it's running (currently only linux and windows), the version of smplayer and the version of Qt. [b]Version 0.2.13[/b] * Fixed a crash when trying to open a file being created by mencoder. * Catch the "Generating Index" message from mplayer and display it in status bar. * The key shortcuts work in compact mode. * Disabled fullscreen mode when another window (playlist, preferences...) is open. * Added the Options submenu to the popup menu (right click menu). * Added key shortcuts for cycling through audio and subtitle tracks: audio assigned to key j. subtitle assigned temporary to h. [b]Version 0.2.12[/b] * Using showFullScreen() instead of a normal show() for fullscreen. * Compact mode hides the menu bar too. And moved the option from the Options menu to the Video menu. Added a key shortcut: Ctrl-C. TODO: now it seems that other key shortcuts (like Ctrl-F to open a file) don't work in this mode, at least with Qt 3. [b]Version 0.2.11[/b] * Some fixes in the new code for fullscreen. Now (at least in Windows) changing to fullscreen mode should be very smooth (no blinks). * New info window (Options->View info). [b]Version 0.2.10[/b] * New fullscreen mode. Using now a widget which has a parent instead of of a widget with no parent. * Added a "compact mode". In this mode, the status bar and the control widget are hidden. * Added a config.h where you can change some defines which modifies the behavior of some things. For instance, "DOCK_PLAYLIST 1" makes the playlist to be embedded in the main window. [b]Version 0.2.9[/b] * Just a very small change: when going to fullscreen mode, the function Gui::toggleFullscreen was called twice (I think it's because button->setOn emits a signal). Now it's still called twice but now the function checks if there's really something to do. [b]Version 0.2.8[/b] * Hopefully fixed two ancient bugs in Windows: the mplayer log with blank lines and in some menus the accel letter didn't show underlined. * Added accels for all options in the menus. Unfortunately this change breaks the translations of the menus. [b]Version 0.2.7[/b] * Fixed a bug in Windows. In the playlist, the symbol "/" was replaced with "\" in internet streams (mms:\\.... instead of (mms://...), avoiding them to play. [b]Version 0.2.6[/b] * Added the postprocessing filter (-vf pp) with autoq. The autoq value can be changed in Preferences->Performance. By default: 6 (the highest). The postprocessing filter can be selected in Video->Filters->Postprocessing. This filter may "improve" the video quality. [b]Version 0.2.5[/b] * The new equalizer was broken in Qt 4. I hope I fixed it. * Now when saving a playlist, if you typed a name without extension smplayer will add it for you (.m3u). * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.2.4[/b] * Replaced the video equalizer with a better looking one. [b]Version 0.2.3[/b] * Load m3u8 files from Open->File (and from command line). * Convert strings from mplayer output to unicode from system locale. That should allow smplayer to read properly non latin1 text in mplayer output. * Replaced in code all qDebug(...latin1()) with qDebug(...utf8().data()). This way non latin1 characters shouldn't be lost in logs. * Now playlist tries to use relative paths when saving the playlist. [b]Version 0.2.2[/b] * When loading a playlist, comments (lines starting with #) are ignored. * Now smplayer can load and save m3u8 files (same as m3u but in UTF-8). * Rewritten the "remove selected items" code in playlist. * Replaced all float's with double's. I hope this hasn't broken anything... [b]Version 0.2.1[/b] * Convert strings from system locale to unicode, in arguments passed from command line and when reading (and saving) m3u files. [b]Version 0.2.0[/b] * Now when you add a file or files to the playlist, only the filename appears, not the whole path. * Added a shortcut for playlist: Ctrl-L * Added shortcuts for previous and next in playlist: < and > * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.1.20[/b] * Now if the directory for screenshots is empty, the option -vf-add screenshot will not be passed to mplayer. This lets smplayer to work with old versions of mplayer which don't have that filter. * More improvements in the playlist: added a play button (will play the selected item). Added a popup menu (right click), with 3 options: play, remove selected and edit. The last option lets you edit the name that will be shown in the playlist for the selected file. With this, I think the playlist is almost finished. [b]Version 0.1.19[/b] * In playlist, the Add->Files and Add->Directory update the last directory used for playlist. * Added some icons in Preferences dialog. * Added icons for playlist's repeat & shuffle buttons (they are ugly: I did them myself...) * Added two new buttons in playlist: up and down. You can use them to move items up and down in the list. [b]Version 0.1.18[/b] * Now the shuffle option in playlist should work. * The playlist saves the state of the repeat & shuffle buttons and also the size of the window. [b]Version 0.1.17[/b] * Some fixes in the video equalizer. * Now Open->URL remembers the last url. * Playlist remembers the last directory used. * Some fixes in the spec file. [b]Version 0.1.16[/b] * Added a video equalizer. [b]Version 0.1.15[/b] * If "main window resize method" was "never" and you played an audio file and the a video file, the video window didn't show. Fixed. * Some other small fixes. [b]Version 0.1.14[/b] * Now the minimum step in sub delay and audio delay is 100 ms (not 200). * Now streams can be passed through the command line. * Fixed a crash when duration of a file was less than 0. [b]Version 0.1.13[/b] * Playlist accepts drops. Dropped files will be added to the playlist. * Added two button to the playlist: repeat and shuffle. Repeat works, shuffle not yet. * Now the subtitle menu (for *.srt, *.sub...) shows the name of the files (was in 0.1.12 but I forgot to mention). * Small changes and fixes. * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.1.12[/b] * Added a reset button in demuxer / video & audio codec selection. Clicking that button will select the original option. Useful if you don't remember which one was it. * Changes in fullscreen mode. Now fullscreen is a global setting. This allows to view all videos in the playlist in fullscreen mode, without switching to window mode everytime a video finished. * Also added in the preferences a new option: "Start videos in fullscreen". If checked all videos you open will be played in fullscreen. [b]Version 0.1.11[/b] * Added a new dialog for configuring advanced settings for the current file. You may type additional options to be passed to mplayer (and also video and audio filters). This options are only for the current file, and they will be saved among the rest of the file settings. That way you could for example, add a crop filter and that filter will be used everytime you load that file. There's also the possibility of choosing the demuxer, video codec and audio codec. Most of the time you won't need them, but in the case one file gives you some trouble with the video or audio maybe you can fix it by selecting another codec. [b]Version 0.1.9[/b] * Now you can load idx/sub subtitles. Select the *.idx in the open subtitle dialog. * Updated the German translation. [b]Version 0.1.8[/b] * Now the main window accepts drags. So you can drag a video and it will be played. If dragged more than a file, all of them will be added to the playlist (the playlist is cleared first). [b]Version 0.1.7[/b] * Well, it was hard to know why the mplayer process had finished (end of file, stopped by user, stopped by the program). Fool of me, mplayer says in its output. So now I catch the "Exiting... (end of file)" message, so I really hope that the problems that this was giving me have fixed for ever. * Added support for matroska chapters. In order to work the file MUST have the extension *.mkv. * Not allow to add repeated files in playlist. * Changes in Makefile: now "make install" works. * Created a spec file. [b]Version 0.1.6[/b] * Fixed a bug that produced a segmentation fault on startup. * Windows/Qt 4: when I file finished playing, playlist wasn't noticed,so next file didn't start to play. Fixed (I hope...) * Added support for monitor aspect correction. [b]Version 0.1.5[/b] * More improvements in the playlist. Added some icons among other things. * Added 3 new buttons in the main window: playlist, previous and next. * Updated the German translation. * Updated the Spanish translation. [b]Version 0.1.4[/b] * Now you can pass a m3u file from the command line. * Playlist: Added options to add files or a whole directory (it will add everything that's there, even non playable files! Added options to remove the selected items or to clear the whole list. [b]Version 0.1.3[/b] * Added the German translation (by Henrikx) * Some fixes in the playlist [b]Version 0.1.2[/b] * Open->File, if you open a m3u it will passed to the playlist. * Now smplayer gets more info about the files (title, artist, album...). This is displayed in Options->View info but it's also used for the playlist. * Now it's possible to add and remove items in the playlist. The add button adds the current file loaded by smplayer. The remove button removes the selected items. * Added an indicator for the file which is playing (currently the indicator is very simple "->", in the future will be an icon). [b]Version 0.1.1[/b] * Changed the version scheme. * At last I have learnt how to pass defines to the Makefile created by qmake. * Changed the way of getting icons (images.h / images.cpp) [b]Version 0.1-070208.13[/b] * Added to the config file the option initial_volume, which will be the initial volume when smplayer starts. [b]Version 0.1-070208.12[/b] * Now when a new file is loaded the volume is not changed. * Save in playlist works (although it's a little bit useless, there are not options to add files to the playlist) [b]Version 0.1-20070208-2[/b] * Rewrite the playlist using a QTable instead of a QListView. * For proper installation in linux, the following defines will be taken into account: DATA_PATH must be set to the directory where the data files (currently only input.conf) are installed. TRANSLATION_PATH must be set to the directory where translations (*.qm) are installed. DOC_PATH must be set to the directory where the documentation is installed (currently there are no documentation) What I don't know yet is how to pass those defines to the Makefile. [b]Version 070207-12[/b] * Started the playlist. Currently is very limited. You can load a m3u file and it will be played (it must cointain absolute paths). Double click on a item plays that file. Streams are also supported. [b]Version 070206-2[/b] * Reduced a little bit the size of button's icons. * New action "PLAY_PAUSE" set to MediaPlay key. [b]Version 070204-12[/b] * Fixed a funny bug. Sometimes when a video is about to finish, it started to play again from the beginning. * Put the basis for configurable key shortcuts. * Added some key shortcuts: Alt+1 & Alt+2 change gamma. Ctrl+F = Open->File, Ctrl+U = Open->URL, Ctrl+X = Open->Exit. Ctrl+I = Options->View Info, Ctrl+P = Options->Preferences. * Added support for multimedia keys: MediaPlay = Pause (and resume Play) MediaStop = Stop MediaNext = +10 secs MediaPrev = -10 secs But I don't have a multimedia keyboard, so this is untested... [b]Version 070202-2[/b] * Some changes in the preferences dialog. * Added an option to select the Qt style to use. [b]Version 070201-2[/b] * Added an option to select your CDROM drive. This setting is currently not used for anything, but in the future it will used for playing VCDs. * One of the main feature of smplayer is the ability to remember the settings (audio track, subtitles, filters selected...) of every file smplayer has opened. Now I have added two options to disable it. One of them will disable it completely, smplayer will remember nothing. The other just will make smplayer to not remember the time pos, so every file will start playing always from the beginning. [b]Version 070131-11[/b] * Added a new page in the preferences dialog: Performance, with the following options: - Priority (only for windows) - Allow frame drop (-framedrop) - Allow hard frame drop (-hardframedrop) [b]Version 070131-2[/b] As expected the ASS color buttons didn't change color in Windows (or Qt 4). I think now this is fixed. [b]Version 070130-2[/b] * Now you can change the color of the SSA/ASS subtitles. [b]Version 070129-3[/b] Arrggg, I've just realized that the volume wasn't remembered. Fixed, I hope. [b]Version 070129-2[/b] * Volume and mute: changing the volume unmutes. * Now the time slider should work much better. It should work either dragging it or clicking in any part of the bar. Furthermore now while dragging it, it displays the time you would go. [b]Version 070128-11[/b] * Added two new options to the preferences dialog: - Use software video equalizer (-vf-add eq2) - Use software volume control (-softvol) * Now the status bar shows the total time too. * More or less fixed a conflict with mute and setting the volume. [b]Version 070128-2[/b] * Fixed a bug with the screenshot feature. * Now the video window hides if there's no video (audio only file or using the mplayer window). [b]Version 070127-11[/b] * Double click on the video window toggles fullscreen. * Added an option to take screenshots. You must set first a directory for saving these screenshots, in the preferences dialog. [b]Version 070127-2[/b] * Added two new options to the "Aspect ratio" sub-menu: - 5:4 - 16:10 * New log window, with buttons to save the log to a file or copy the text to the clipboard. * Some fixes in the time slider. [b]Version 070125-11[/b] * Added two new video filters: - Dering - Add noise (which adds a little bit of noise to the image) [b]Version 070125-2[/b] * Added some video filters: - denoise (normal) = hqdn3d - denoise (soft) = hqdn3d=2:1:2 (I find the default hqdn3d too strong) - deblock = pp=vb/hb [b]Version 070124-11[/b] * Now you can scroll through the video by using the mouse wheel. By default every wheel event will advance +30 or -30 seconds. This value can be change in the preferences dialog. Setting to 0 disables this feature. [b]Version 070124-2[/b] * Added 3 new options to the preferences dialog: - disable screensaver - resize method - mplayer cache Now I think all options in the config file can be set through the preferences dialog. [b]Version 070123[/b] * Some changes in the preferences dialog: - Now a combobox allows you to select your CD/DVD device. In linux some usual names are used (/dev/dvd, /dvd/cdrom, etc.). In windows it should display the drive's letters (C: D: etc) but I haven't tested yet. - Now the user can choose the video and audio drivers from a list (shows all available drivers in your mplayer). [img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/64e14ba167.jpg[/img] [b]Version 070122-11[/b] * Found an easier way to change the background color in Qt 4. The visible change is that now the background in statusbar will be black as in Qt 3. * When clicked with the mouse right button to pop up the context menu, the main window stopped receiving keyboard events. I hope this is fix now. * Changed some icons. [b]Version 070122-2[/b] * Now the screensaver in windows is disabled during playback (the screensaver is disabled in x11 too since some versions ago). * Now the mouse cursor disappears over the video window if it's not moved for some seconds, and appears again when it's moved. [b]Version 070121-11[/b] * The option autoload_sub=false didn't work. Fixed (I hope). * Added more options to the preferences dialog. It's a little bit ugly but all options should work. [b]Version 070121-2[/b] * Started to write the preferences dialog. There's a lot of work to do, but the options that appears in it should work. The subtitles' page is almost complete! [img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/f57fc459d3.jpg[/img] [b]Version 070119-2[/b] * Well, I removed that horrible logo I made the other day and now I used some icons from [url=http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=31585]Vista-Inspirate[/url]. * Some new options for the [preferences] section in config file: [b]resize_method=(int)[/b] This options controls the way the main window should resize. The possible values are: 0 : the main window never resizes. The user is the only one allowed to resize the window. 1 : the main window resizes every time it's needed (this is the default). 2 : the main window resizes only after loading a new video, but not after restarting mplayer. That means that if the user resizes the window, the new size will be respected (until a new video is loaded). [b]mplayer_additional_options=(string)[/b] Here you can pass other options to mplayer. The options should be separated by spaces. If a option requires a filename, this should NOT contain spaces. Example: mplayer_additional_options=-flip -softvol Be carefully, some options could interfere with the ones smplayer uses. [b]mplayer_additional_video_filters=(string][/b] Here you can add additional video filters. They should be separated by ",". Don't use spaces! Example: mplayer_additional_video_filters=hqdn3d,pp=vb/hb [b]mplayer_additional_audio_filters=(string][/b] The same but for audio. Example: mplayer_additional_audio_filters=volnorm,equalizer=11:11:10:5:0:-12:0:5:12:12 * I also made a (incompatible) change in the way the file preferences are stored in the config file. That means that this version won't remember your previous file settings. [b]Version 070117-12[/b] * Well, I think the only visible change is the option Options->View info, which shows some info about the current video. * There are some changes in the configuration file (~/.qt/smplayerrc): vo=(string) vo is the video output driver. It already existed before. But now I change the default value. Previously the default value was "directx" for windows, "xv" for the rest. Now there is no default. If vo is empty, smplayer would get the info from mplayer, and will save it in the config file. That (theorically) would allow smplayer to run in other OS where maybe "xv" doesn't even exist. Added the option ao=(string) audio output driver, with the same behavior of vo. And finally, added the option subcp, which allows to select the font encoding for subtitles. [b]Version 070117-2[/b] * Fixed a bug when parsing the A: V: line. Big big numbers weren't read correctly. * Added some options for the configuration file: font_autoscale= (int) font_textscale= (int) use_fontconfig= (bool) font_name= (string) font_file= (string) font_autoscale and font_textscale are the equivalents to -subfont-autoscale and -subfont-text-scale in mplayer. If use_fontconfig is true then the font used for subtitles will be font_name. Example: use_fontconfig=true font_name=Utopia In the case use_fontconfig is false, then it will try to use font_file (which has to be a full path to a ttf font). Example: use_fontconfig=false font_file=/home/ricardo/.fonts/comicbd.ttf So now you can get something like this: [img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/c2e06dd51a.jpg[/img] Of course, all of this will be easier when I write the preferences dialog. [b]Version 070116-2[/b] * Added options for changing playback speed. [b]Version 070115-1[/b] * Just a very small fix with the mute option. It wasn't been remebered between mplayer resets and audio track switches. [b]Version 070114-2[/b] * Fixed (I hope) a bug relative to subtitles. smplayer didn't remember that you had selected the "none" subtitle and always loaded the first available subtitle. Now, when you load a video for first time it will load the first available subtitle but if you change to "none" it should remember the next time you open the same video. * Added and option to select angle in DVDs. Unfortunately I don't have a multiangle dvd, so this option is untested. Can anyone tell me if it really works? * For audio, chapter, title and angle menus: added an item if the menu is empty. * Added a button to mute. And two nice icons borrowed from kplayer...
