Use + channels.conf if channels.conf.ter is not found. + * Removed the "Jump..." item from the tv and radio menus. The actions + are still available. + * (Playlist) Fix: don't try to a load pls file if the file doesn't exist. + Prevents QSettings to create subdirectories pointing to that file. + * Updated the texts of the OSD options. + +(2009-07-13) + * Moved the option "Visualize motion vectors" from menu Options to menu + Video. + +(2009-07-12) + * Fixed error "302 - Moved temporarily" when connecting to opensubtitles.org. + +(2009-07-09) + * Added the new option "Jump" to the TV and radio menus. It displays a dialog + which allows the user to enter the number of the channel to open. + +(2009-07-07) + * Applied patch numbered_recent_files.diff by greenest + (greenest at users.sourceforge.net). It adds numbers in front of the recent + files, and a key accelerator. + +(2009-07-06) + * Save the last TV channel, which will be used when "dvb://" or "tv://" is + opened. + +(2009-07-05) + * (Linux) vdpau doesn't allow to use any video filter (mplayer would crash) + so now smplayer will clear the filter list if vdpau is used. + * New option for smplayer.ini (section [playlist]): automatically_play_next. + If set to false the playlist won't play the next item when the current one + finishes. + +(2009-07-04) + * The settings of TV channels are saved on ~/.config/smplayer/smplayer_tv.ini. + +(2009-07-02) + * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: TV and radio. + +(2009-06-30) + * Apply patch play_action_disabled_while_playing.diff by Francesco Cosoleto. + (cosoleto at users.sourceforge.net). It disables the play action while + playing. + * (Fix) Now the command line option -sub passes the subtitle file to another + running instance. + +(2009-06-29) + * Added actions to select the previous and next tv channels, and also for + previous and next radio. Assigned by default to the keys L and H (for TV) + and Shift+L and Shift+H for radio. + +(2009-06-28) + * Changing chapters works again with mplayer > svn r29407 (0-based). + For DVDs, it only works if cache = 0. + * Added two options for smplayer.ini (section [tv]): + check_channels_conf_on_startup and initial_tv_deinterlace. + +(2009-06-27) + * The tv and radio submenus can be added to the toolbars (tv_menu and + radio_menu). + +(2009-06-25) + * New menus Open->TV and Open->Radio. The items for those menus are taken from + ~/.mplayer/channels.conf. The services with video and audio pid are added + to the TV menu, those with audio pid are added to the radio menu. The + rest are discarded. The file channels.conf is rescanned on every startup + and will add new channels to the menus. + Note: the file channels.conf is not read at all on Windows (mplayer lacks + dvb support on Windows). + * The list of channels can be edited. + +(2009-06-23) + * Initial support for TV (dvb:// and tv://): + - You can open dvb channels through commandline (smplayer + dvb://CHANNEL_NAME). It may also work with tv:// but it's untested. + - There's an option under Preferences->Performance to set the cache for TV. + - The view info and properties dialog recognizes dvb:// and tv:// and + display a TV icon for them. + +(2009-06-21) + * Added the new menu Program under the Browse menu. It allows to change + the program track for ts files. Known issue: when a program changes, the + video and audio track will probably change too but the video and audio menus + doesn't show that change. + * The OSD is not shown until 3 seconds after the video started to play. This + avoid a lot of messages being printed on the OSD at startup. + +(2009-06-12) + * Applied (with a few changes) the patch wheelfunctionpatch4.txt by + Stivo (helifan at users.sourceforge.net). + It adds the possibility to change the function of the mouse wheel with + a mouse click. + +(2009-06-02) + * (Windows) smplayer should recognize now Windows 7, if using Qt 4.5.1 + (untested). + * (Windows, portable version) The default screenshot directory is + ./screenshots, and the default additional option for mplayer is + -nofontconfig. This way it's not necessary to supply a customized + smplayer.ini in the portable package. + * Recognize the multithreaded mplayer build from kovensky (checks for + 'MPlayer GIT*'). It assumes it's version 1.0rc3. + +(2009-05-24) + * Bugfix: now the color tags from the mplayer output are really removed + (linux only). + +(2009-05-21) + * Two new options for the command line have been added: -pos and -size. Both + options expect two arguments. -pos specifies the coordinates (x, y) where + the main window will be displayed, -size specifies the size (width, height). + If any of the values is invalid, the option will be silently ignored. + +(2009-05-18) + * New option in the subtitle menu: "subtitle visibility". If the option + is checked (default) subtitles are visible, otherwise the subtitles won't + appear in the screen. This is a global option. + * In the subtitle initialization function, try to find the external subtitle + using its filename, and not assuming that it's always the last one. + It should make the -sub command line option to work as expected. + +(2009-05-11) + * Added the Estonian translation, by olav mägi <olav.magi@hotmail.com> + * The option "Audio/video auto synchronization" has been moved from + Preferences -> Performance to Preferences -> General -> Audio. + * Added the new option "A-V sync correction" in Preferences -> General -> + Audio (for the mplayer option -mc). + +(2009-05-05) + * New option for smplayer.ini: row_spacing (in the [playlist] section). It + specifies the spacing between rows in the playlist. If the value is -1 + the row height is not changed. + +(2009-05-04) + * Added an option in Preferences -> Advanced -> Logs to make the mplayer logs + more verbose (passes -v to mplayer). + +(2009-05-01) + * Applied patch coreavc.patch by Shurygin Egor <qdiesel@users.sourceforge.net> + It adds a checkbox in performance settings to switch coreavc usage. + When checked passes to mplayer "-vc coreavc," unless vdpau video driver is + used and any other video codec has been set explicitly. + +(2009-04-30) + * Bugfix: hide the mouse cursor when it's over the black borders. + +(2009-04-29) + * (Windows) New options for smplayer.ini: turn_screensaver_off (false by + default) and avoid_screensaver (true by default). The option + disable_screensaver won't be used on windows anymore. + turn_screensaver_off disables the screensaver from the control panel, + while avoid_screensaver prevents the screensaver to appear when windows + requests for it in an event. + * Added checkboxes in preferences->general->video to allow to configure + the avoid_screensaver and turn_screensaver_off options. + +(2009-04-24) + * Deleted the option "Change volume just before playing" (Preferences -> + General -> Audio). That option had sense when a patch was required for the + -volume option, but not now. + Now it will just use -volume if using mplayer >= SVN r27872. + * Deleted the option "Change volume on every file" (Preferences -> + General -> Audio). It did more or less the same now it does the "Global + volume" option. + * Deleted the "Default volume" slider in (Preferences -> General -> Audio). + With time it lost its original meaning. It's still possible to configure + the default volume in smplayer.ini. + +(2009-04-23) + * Started to implement the possibility to customize the options for the + audio/video filters passed to mplayer (in the section [filter_options] + in smplayer.ini). + Currently 3 filters can be customized: noise, volnorm and deblock. + BTW, the volnorm filter has changed its default value from 2 to 1. + +(2009-04-20) + * (Experimental) Added the new option "Global volume" (Preferences -> General + -> Audio). If the option is checked, the volume and mute are global + options. If not checked, the volume and mute options are independent for + each file. + Known issues: the default value is 50, it doesn't honor the "default volume" + setting. On the other hand, the option "change volume before playing" is + honored even if that option is shown disabled when the "global volume" is + checked. + +(2009-04-18) + * Added the Vietnamese translation, by Lê Xuân Thảo <thaolx@gmail.com>. + * Display the current playback speed in the status bar when it changes. + * Added support for the mplayer tags DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MENU and + DVDNAV_TITLE_IS_MOVIE added in mplayer svn r29156. + It just simply stops sending the set_mouse_pos slave command if not in a + dvd menu. + +(2009-04-16) + * (Bugfix) Don't stop the file if already stopped when closing smplayer + to prevent that the current position would reset to 0. + +(2009-04-15) + * Added two aspect ratios: 3:2 and 14:10. + * The next_aspect action changes the aspect ratio in the right order. + +(2009-04-07) + * Added an option in preferences to turn on/off the screenshot feature. + So no need now to clear the screenshot path to disable it. + +(2009-04-06) + * Pass to mplayer "-vc ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau," if + using vdpau as video driver and not other video codec has been set. + (Untested) + +(2009-04-02) + * Now the mouse cursor is hidden only when playing. + +(2009-04-01) + * (Fix) The preferences dialog sets the default video driver to "direct3d," + if using Windows Vista. + +(2009-03-26) + * Added ogv to the list of extensions (for video). + +(2009-03-25) + * (Linux) Using -input nodefault-bindings:conf=/dev/null to disable the + mplayer keys if using mplayer >= SVN r29058. + +(2009-03-23) + * (Experimental) Now some of the submenus can be added to the toolbars + (actions names: speed_menu, videotrack_menu, screen_menu, videosize_menu, + panscan_menu, aspect_menu, deinterlace_menu, videofilter_menu, rotate_menu, + ontop_menu, audiotrack_menu, audiofilter_menu, audiochannels_menu, + stereomode_menu, subtitlestrack_menu, titles_menu, chapters_menu, + angles_menu, osd_menu). + +(2009-03-22) + * Added an icon for the next_aspect action. Contributed by TT + (http://smplayer.berlios.de/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1104). + +(2009-03-20) + * The subtitle and audio delay actions keep now the file paused. They also + display the current value in the status bar. + +(2009-03-19) + * Added some icons for: Help -> Tips, Video -> Preview, Video -> Start/stop + taking screenshots, Subtitles -> Find subtitles on opensubtitles.org and + updated the Qt logo (taken from the Qt sources). + +(2009-03-18) + * (Videopreview) Ctrl+H toggles displaying the info about the video. + * Don't use "set_property switch_video" when using the nsv demuxer. It makes + mplayer stop displaying the video after a few seconds. + * Added a new option: Video -> Start/stop taking screenshots (of each frame) + assigned by default to "Shift+D" (the icon for this action: screenshots.png) + When this option is selected, a screenshot will be taken (and saved in + png format to the screenshot folder) for each frame. Select the option + again to stop taking screenshots. + +(2009-03-16) + * (Windows) Now by default the combos in Preferences -> Drives will show all + drives, not only CD/DVD devices, as it has been reported that checking + for those devices can be slow if there are network drives. Now there's + a button "Scan for CD/DVD devices" to force the detection of CD/DVD devices. + +(2009-03-12) + * Deleted the obsolete translations from smplayer_gl.ts (caused lrelease + to fail with Qt 4.5.0). + +(2009-03-11) + * Fixed some build problems that could make the installation fail, trying to + recompile everything again with qt3 because QMAKE can be undefined during + make install. + + +[b]Version 0.6.7[/b]: + +(2009-03-06) + * The media type icons (type_audio.png, type_dvd.png, type_url.png, + type_video.png, type_cdda.png, type_unknown.png and type_vcd.png) which + appear in the info window can now be overridden by the icon themes. + +(2009-03-05) + * (Playlist) Try to figure out if a file is local (when the file is added + to the playlist) not using QFile::exists, as it seems it can be slow + with remote files. It might fix bug #2586395, although I can't test. + +(2009-02-19) + * Using software volume by default. + +(2009-02-17) + * Using multiple ini files to store the file settings by default now. + +(2009-02-15) + * Added preliminary support for the upcoming mplayer 1.0rc3. + +(2009-02-09) + * (ASS subtitles) The outline and shadow options now accept values with + decimals. + +(2009-02-04) + * Now the default value for the "correct pts" option is auto. + +(2009-01-31) + * (Videopreview) Added a new option to remember the last folder used for + saving the preview image. If not checked, it will suggest the same + folder of the video to save the image. + * New action toggle_stay_on_top, which toggles between "stay on top always" + and "stay on top never". If "stay on top while playing" is enabled, this + action does nothing. + +(2009-01-29) + * Added two options (in the audio and subtitle menus) to allow the user to + enter the audio and subtitle delay (in milliseconds). + +(2009-01-28) + * Added names for the rest of dvdnav actions. + * The dvdnav_mouse action is assigned to the left mouse button by default. + * Added all dvdnav actions to the list of actions that can be selected with + the mouse buttons. + +(2009-01-27) + * Fix: now spaces in arguments for mplayer (in Preferences->Advanced and + Options->View info and properties) are respected if they are between + quotes. Now for instance this will work as expected: + -heartbeat-cmd "gnome-screensaver-command -p &" + * Fix: the playlist is not allowed to be docked in fullscreen mode. + +(2009-01-26) + * (Playlist) When a file is added to the playlist, if it was already in + the list, it's moved to the end of the list. + +(2009-01-24) + * (Videopreview) Add jpg to the "extract frame as" combobox only if the + jpg format is available for reading. + * The direct3d video output is now the default for Windows Vista (untested). + +(2009-01-18) + * The dvdnav actions are now only enabled when playing a dvd (using dvdnav). + +(2009-01-17) + * Now the mplayer process is not restarted when loading an external subtitle + file (using the sub_load slave command), except for idx/sub subtitles. + +(2009-01-15) + * (Windows) Now the screensaver is allowed to turn on if the file is + paused or it's an audio file. + * The "it's a playlist" option in the Open URL dialog is automatically + checked if the url ends with ".ram", ".asx" or ".m3u" (and unchecked if + it ends with another extension). + +(2009-01-14) + * New option for the config file: user_forced_ass_style under the + [subtitles] section. If the value is not an empty string, it will be + passed to mplayer for the -ass-force-style option, overriding the string + generated automatically by smplayer. + * Added a "Customize" button in the SSA/ASS section in preferences to + allow the user to customize the SSA/ASS style which will be passed to + mplayer with the -ass-force-style option. + +(2009-01-12) + * (Fix) When opening an iso file, start to play from the dvd menu instead + of title 1. + * Added a new option to select the shadow color for ass subtitles. + +(2009-01-11) + * Now it's possible to play a dvd with menus from command line + (smplayer dvdnav://) or by selecting "dvdnav://" from the recents menu. + It'll even work if the option "Enable DVD menus" is not checked. + * Now the highlighted option in the DVD menu changes when the mouse is + moved. + +(2009-01-10) + * Fixed the initialization of the Angles menu when using dvdnav. + * Added to the Browse menu the options 'DVD menu' and 'DVD previous menu'. + +(2009-01-09) + * Now the length of the title is updated when playing a dvd using dvdnav. + +(2009-01-08) + * (Linux) Added the option "Enable DVD menus" in Preferences->Drives. If + this option is checked, when you select "DVD from drive" or "DVD from + folder" under the Open menu, the DVD will be played using dvdnav (including + menus). + Note: this is experimental, there are still a lot of things to be fixed. + Use at own your own risk. + +(2009-01-05) + * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to apply the ass style defined by + the user to ass subtitles (overriding the style defined in the ass file). + +(2009-01-04) + * Now the dvd names follow the same scheme as mplayer: + dvd://title/device (where device can also be a folder or iso file). + Internally it tries to avoid the use of the string "dvd:" so it could + be easy to add support for dvdnav: + +(2008-12-31) + * Now the correct pts option can have a value of "auto". In this case + neither -correct-pts nor -nocorrect-pts are passed to mplayer, the demuxer + will decide. Should fix bug #2479566. + * The proxy settings have been moved to a config dialog inside the find + subtitles window. + + +[b]Version 0.6.6[/b]: + +(2008-12-28) + * (Linux) Now the options in the dvd menus can be selected with the mouse. + To do so, select "Activate option in DVD menus" for the left mouse button + in Preferences -> Keyboard and mouse. + * Implemented a different way to select the initial audio track (or restore + the old one after a restart). + * (Experimental) New code to show/hide the mouse cursor in the video window. + +(2008-12-27) + * (Linux) Added some actions to control the dvdnav buttons. + +(2008-12-26) + * The language filter in the find subtitles dialog is now saved to the ini + file. + * New option for smplayer.ini: include_lang_on_filename (section + [findsubtitles]). If set to true (the default) the language code is + appended to the subtitle filename (e.g. video.avi => video_es.srt). + Otherwise the language code is not appended (video.avi => video.srt). + +(2008-12-24) + * Implemented a different way to select the initial subtitle track (or restore + the old one after a restart). Still needs some testing. + +(2008-12-23) + * Now smplayer tries to update the subtitle tracks if they change during + playback. This makes subtitles work if using dvdnav, and seems to fix + a problem when selecting the initial track + (see http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2422574&group_id=185512&atid=913573) + This is the kind of changes that can break something or produce an + unexpected behaviour... + +(2008-12-20) + * Applied with a few changes the patch customStyleAction.patch by + matt <matt@endboss.org>. It adds a few more functions for the widgetactions, + like to set a custom style. + * Added a new gui (mpcgui, a media player classic clone) developed by + Matthias Petri <matt@endboss.org> + +(2008-12-19) + * Applied (with a few changes) a patch by matt <matt@endboss.org>. + This patch adds 3 modes for the stay on top option: always, never and + while playing. + +(2008-12-12) + * Added a new option Video->Preview. This option creates a preview + (thumbnails) of the selected video. There are options to choose the + number of columns, rows, maximum width of the generated image... + Finally the preview can be saved (as jpg or png). + Note: the video preview is not finished yet. + +(2008-12-07) + * (Experimental) Increased the resolution of the seekbar. Previously + a step of the seekbar (in a 90 minute movie) was equal to 54 seconds. + Now it's equal to 5.4 seconds. As there's usually an I-frame about 10 + seconds (and mplayer always jumps to an I-frame) I think that's enough. + +(2008-12-06) + * Bug #2399200: the downloaded subtitle filename was wrong if the video + filename contained a dot in the name (example: video.hdtv.avi created a + video_es.srt file instead of video.hdtv_es.avi). This is now fixed. + +(2008-12-03) + * Now the logs in the mplayer/smplayer log windows update in realtime. + * The "MPlayer language" tab in the Advanced section in preferences has + been removed. It's not necessary anymore, although if you've got a + mplayer which prints the output texts in a non-english language you'll need + at least MPlayer SVN r28066. + * Added two new options: "Auto zoom for 16:9" and "Auto zoom for 2.35:1". + Those options zoom the image assuming the aspect ratio of the video image + is the one specified in the option, even if that's not the actual aspect + ratio. Useful for videos which include black borders (letterbox) in the + image, where the normal "Auto zoom" option will fail. + +(2008-11-30) + * New option for smplayer.ini: actions_to_run ([advanced] section). + Specifies a list of actions (separated by spaces) which will be run every + time a file is loaded. For instance "actions_to_run=auto_zoom compact true" + will run the auto_zoom action and set the gui to compact mode. If the + commandline option -actions is used too, the actions from commandline + will be added to the end of the list. + There's a limitation: the actions will be run only when a file is opened + and not when the mplayer process is restarted (e.g. you select an option in + the menus which requires to restart mplayer, like a video or audio filter). + Note that allowing to run the actions after a restart of mplayer could + lead to infinite recursion if any of the actions in the list needs to + restart mplayer. + * Added a field in Preferences->Advanced to enter the list of actions to + be run every time a file is opened. + +(2008-11-27) + * Added an option in Preferences->General to change the method to store + the file settings. + * (Experimental) Added the new option Video->Pan&scan->Auto zoom. It + calculates the zoom factor so you can't see any black borders. + +(2008-11-26) + * Implemented a new (and optional) method to save the file settings. + This method uses an ini file per each played file (instead of using only + one big ini file for all of them). + + The files are saved under the subdirectory "file_settings" in the config + directory (usually $HOME/.config/smplayer/). As filename it uses a hash, + and it's stored on a subdirectory starting with the first letter of the + filename. + + For example: + $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/d/dd017f9d6706a75f.ini + $HOME/.config/smplayer/file_settings/9/95e963e59826699d.ini + + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: file_settings_method. + This option allows to select the method to be used for the file settings. + Possible values: normal and hash. + + normal = uses one file (smplayer_files.ini) to store the file settings of + all played files. This is cleaner as you only have one file for all files' + settings but it could be slow if there are info for many many files in it. + + hash = uses one ini file per each played file. This could be much faster if + you have info for many files, but you'll end up with many ini files and + subdirectories. + +(2008-11-24) + * Added a new option in Preferences->Video: add black borders on fullscreen. + If this option is enabled, black borders will be added to the image in + fullscreen mode. This allows subtitles to be displayed on the black borders. + +(2008-11-23) + * Added a history to the open URL dialog. Based on a patch by Francesco + Cosoleto. + Not finished yet. Missing options to clear the history or set the maximum + number of items. + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: urls\max_items (section [history]). + It specifies the maximum number of items for the open URL history. + By default, 10. Set it to 0 to disable the history. + +(2008-11-20) + * The "Recents" code has been reorganized. Also the list of recent files + is now saved in a different place in smplayer.ini, in section [history]. + +(2008-11-19) + * When using SSA/ASS, use the same font for OSD. Otherwise the OSD + might not be visible. + +(2008-11-18) + * Added the possibility to select the type of proxy to be used: Http or + Socks5. (More info: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.3/qnetworkproxy.html) + +(2008-11-17) + * Added a new option in Preferences->Subtitle: Freetype support. Disabling + that option could make smplayer work with a mplayer compiled without + freetype support. But subtitles may not work at all! + +(2008-11-16) + * The mini gui can now also remember the position and size of the window. + * (Linux) Now all devices which match with dvd*, cdrom*, cdrw*, sr* + and cdrecorder* are added to the comboboxes in Preferences->Drives. + +(2008-11-15) + * Added a new action to select the next aspect ratio. Assigned by default to + key "A". Unfortunately this change breaks compatibility and the aspect + ratio setting for all your played videos will be lost. + * Display the text for the statusbar in the OSD if in fullscreen mode (and + not paused). + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: initial_stereo_mode. It sets the + stereo mode which will be used as default. + Possible values: 0 (stereo), 1 (left) and 2 (right). + +(2008-11-14) + * Added the new section Advanced->Proxy in preferences to configure the + proxy. + +(2008-11-13) + * Added some options in smplayer.ini (section [proxy]) to configure a proxy + for internet connections. Untested. + + +[b]Version 0.6.5.1[/b]: + +(2008-11-12) + * Don't pass to mplayer the option -no-correct-pts or -nocorrect-pts if + the mplayer version is still unknown. Prevents mplayer to fail on the first + run, complaining about an unknown -no-correct-pts if using a recent version + of mplayer (r26842 or above). + + +[b]Version 0.6.5[/b]: + +(2008-11-11) + * (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification + (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html) + for the config files. So now smplayer will save its config files under + the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer or $HOME/.config/smplayer if + $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined. + If you want to keep your preferences, copy the files in $HOME/.smplayer to + $HOME/.config/smplayer + +(2008-11-07) + * Added a new option "Floating control" in Preferences->Interface. It allows + to configure the floating control (width, margin...). + +(2008-11-06) + * (Experimental) Added the possibility to select the adaptor for xv. Requires + at least MPlayer SVN r26762 (from 2008-05-13). + +(2008-11-05) + * Added support for another patch: + http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/id_exit.diff + This patch allows the playlist to work properly even if the output messages + of mplayer are not in English. + * New option for smplayer.ini: bypass_window_manager (section + [floating_control]). If set to true (the default), the floating control + widget will bypass the window manager (seems necessary for some window + managers). You can try to set it to false if you have problems with the + floating control. + +(2008-11-04) + * On startup the previous position of the main (default) window is checked + if it's valid for the current screen. If it's not, then the window is + moved to 0x0. + * The same for the playlist (if it's not docked). + +(2008-11-01) + * Cleanup and reorganization of the config path code. + The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with + -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store + its data (not only smplayer.ini). + * Now to know if a file has no video, instead of looking for the line + "Video: no video" (it's not reliable as it's a string that can be translated), + it will check the video codec, if it's empty, there's no video. + +(2008-10-30) + * The reorganization of the subtitles section in preferences is finished. + * The mplayer devs have added the -volume option in svn r27872, so now the + hack to try to detect a patched mplayer have been removed. Now smplayer + will simply use the -volume option if mplayer is r27872 or newer. + +(2008-10-28) + * The subtitles for srt, sub... formats when using the SSA/ASS library, + can now be more customized. It's possible to select the font, size, + colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow... + Not finished yet. + +(2008-10-27) + * Added the new option "Correct pts" in Preferences->Advanced. Disabled by + default because it causes some problems with mkv files. + * The dialog to jump to a specified time allows now to enter the seconds + too. + + +[b]Version 0.6.4[/b]: + +(2008-10-22) + * (Linux) Now smplayer will pop up a warning if the mplayer version is old. + This popup will appear only once, although there'll be a reminder in the + status line. + A mplayer is considered old if it's older than svn r25158 (that includes + 1.0rc2) + +(2008-10-21) + * Now if the SSA/ASS lib is enabled and a file named styles.ass exists in the + smplayer config directory ($HOME/.smplayer/ or the application directory if + compiled with PORTABLE_APP) smplayer will load it (mplayer option + -ass-styles). In this case the color for subtitles and styles configured + in Preferences->Subtitles WON'T be used. + In the future smplayer will create that file automatically and the + preferences dialog will allow to configure all (or at least the most + important) styles. + +(2008-10-20) + * Bugfix: the show equalizer option didn't work when assigned to any of + the mouse buttons. (Reason: the action name was changed some time ago + from "equalizer" to "video_equalizer) + * Added "Show audio equalizer" to the mouse buttons' combos too. + +(2008-10-19) + * (Experimental) Added the possibility to change the video track. + Only tested with this sample video: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GAGZCTP + +(2008-10-16) + * Moved the comboboxes for the video & audio drivers to the Video and Audio + tabs. + * Added a new section in the preferences dialog: Playlist. + +(2008-10-15) + * Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi, + video_02.avi..) to the playlist. This feature is controlled by the option + add_to_playlist_consecutive_files (under the [gui] section). + * Now the available tracks in DVDs, CDs and VCDs won't be automatically added + to the playlist if the option gui/auto_add_to_playlist is false. Should fix + bug #2049998. + +(2008-10-14) + * Logout is not cancelled by smplayer. Fixes bug #2155555. + * Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message. + * Revised and corrected some of the help messages in preferences. + * Added 1:1 to the aspect ratio menu. + +(2008-10-10) + * Added a work-around for Traditional Chinese. The names of the arrow keys + were deleted from the shortcuts if using Qt 4.3. + +(2008-10-09) + * Now the video keeps paused when changing brightness, contrast, hue, + saturation and gamma. + * Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitles (the + zip file) and extract the subtitle file. This is exactly how it works: + when you click on the download button, the zip file is downloaded to a + temporary file. If the zip file contains only one subtitle, it's extracted, + trying to use the same name of the video. So if the video is named movie.avi + and you downloaded a French subtitle, the subtitle is saved as movie_fr.srt. + If there are more than one subtitle in the zip file, a dialog will appear + so the user can choose the subtitle(s) to extract. In that case, and in + order not to make things more complicated, the subtitles are just saved + with their original names. + +(2008-10-06) + * (Windows) Added a tool (dxlist) which can list the dsound audio devices + and the ddraw display devices. Read the README.txt inside the dxlist + subdirectory for more info and how to compile it. + * (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with + dsound. It requires dxlist.exe to be installed in the same folder as + smplayer.exe. This is experimental. + +(2008-10-05) + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: display_in_compact_mode (under section + [floating_control]). If true the floating control will appear too in + compact mode. Note: it may not look very well in this mode... + +(2008-10-04) + * (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa. + It requires the application "aplay" to be installed. + +(2008-10-03) + * Added an option in Preferences->General->Video to set the default zoom. + +(2008-10-02) + * Applied (with some changes) the patch to add support for enca, by + Stanislav Maslovski <s_i_m@users.sourceforge.net>. + This adds a new option in Preferences->Subtitles, which can make mplayer + to try to autodetect the encoding for subtitles. This requires a mplayer + compiled with enca support. + +(2008-09-29) + * Now the chapters on DVD should work again. + * Reorganization in some data structures. + * Added another experimental new code to resize the main window. + +(2008-09-28) + * Added an (experimental) generic code to manage chapters, instead of two + separate codes for mkv and DVDs. Seems to work well with mkv but it's + still untested on DVDs. + +(2008-09-27) + * Added basic support for the tag ID_CHAPTERS, added in mplayer svn r27667. + This makes things easier to know the number of chapters in a video. + Don't know if it could cause a conflict with DVD chapters. Some code + has still to be revised and modified. + * Bugfix: if using "directx," the -colorkey option wasn't passed to mplayer + (thus the video was black). Now this should be fixed. + +(2008-09-26) + * Added support for the new "pausing_keep_force" slave mode command prefix + (added in mplayer r27665). + This prefix really keeps the file paused after processing a slave command. + So now if you, for example, mute the audio when the video is paused it + won't advance one frame after it. It also keeps the video paused when you + take a screenshot (although you won't see the confirmation message until + playback resumes). + There's also an option for smplayer.ini, use_pausing_keep_force. You can + set to false if you find any trouble or prefer the old behaviour. + +(2008-09-25) + * Added the Galician translation, by Miguel Branco <mgl.branco@gmail.com>. + + +[b]Version 0.6.3[/b]: + +(2008-09-24) + * Added a new shortcut set (sda.keys) taken from + http://speeddemosarchive.com/forum/index.php/topic,7774.0.html, which you + can load in the shortcut editor in preferences. + +(2008-09-23) + * Added two icons for the mirror and flip actions (mirror.png and flip.png) + taken from the Gimp. + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: default_size (section [gui]). It + specifies the default size of the main window. Previously it was hardcoded + (580x440). + +(2008-09-22) + * Now the subtitles can be mirrored, flipped or rotated along with the image. + The way to enable it is not obvious though. You need to enable the option + "Include subtitles on screenshots" (Preferences->Subtitles). + * (Linux) Tries to set "/dev/dvd" and "/dev/cdrom" (if they exist) as default + values for the dvd and cdrom devices. + +(2008-09-21) + * Added the new option Video->Mirror image. This option mirrors the image + on the Y axis. + +(2008-09-20) + * The comboboxes to select the video and audio driver in Preferences-> + General have changed. Now they are not editable, and only show some + of the available drivers (png, jpeg... and so on are not shown). There's + also an "User defined" option. If selected, a line edit will appear where + the user can type the driver to use (possibly with additional options). + * The code in preferences.h/preferences.cpp has been reorganized, and + now the preferences are saved in several sections in smplayer.ini. + That means most of your settings will be lost and you'll have to reconfigure + smplayer again (I even recommend to delete smplayer.ini, otherwise there'll + be a mix of the old settings with the new ones). + +(2008-09-19) + * It seems crashes still happen in the code to select subtitle tracks. + The bug hasn't been located yet (the crash is difficult to reproduce) + but I have added a new check in a lower level, in the function + SubTracks::itemAt(). Now it checks if the requested item is in range. If + it's not valid it will print a warning and return an empty subtitle. + +(2008-09-17) + * Added an icon for the Play/Pause action. (This breaks all icon themes...) + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: gui_minimum_width. The width of the + main window won't be smaller than the value of that option. + If gui_minimum_width is set to 0 (the default) then the minimum width + will be the size hint of the window. + +(2008-09-16) + * (Windows) Added a new option in Preferences->General that allows the user + to select which screen will display the video when using directx as video + driver. This option is visible only when directx is selected. + * (Windows) Added also a submenu Screen under the Video menu for an easier + selection of the screen. + +(2008-09-14) + * Check in Core::changeSubtitle() that the selected subtitle is in a valid + range. This should avoid crashes. + +(2008-09-13) + * Added the Kurdish translation, by Si_murg56 <simurg56@gmail.com> + +(2008-09-12) + * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video: "Draw video using slices" + (-slices / -noslices in mplayer). Enabled by default. + * Bugfix: the items in the combobox for the mouse right click action weren't + retranslated properly. + +(2008-09-09) + * For some unknown reason sometimes the playlist is not shown. I think this + is because it's outside of the screen. Now smplayer checks if the playlist + is actually outside of the screen, and in that case it's moved to pos 0x0. + +(2008-09-08) + * Moved the option "Create index if needed" from the section Performance to + Advanced. + * Added an icon for the audio equalizer action. + +(2008-09-06) + * Added a new option in Preferences->Performance: Threads for decoding. + Sets the number of threads to use for decoding (for MPEG-1/2 and H.264 only). + It could be useful for multicore processors. + * Bugfix: the volume may be changed on startup even if the option "Change + volume on every file" was off. + +(2008-09-04) + * Don't change the window size if the panel is already the requested size. + Seems to fix a problem when using Compiz. + +(2008-09-01) + * The option "Repaint background of the video window" (in Preferences-> + Advanced) is now enabled by default in linux. It seems with newer versions + of Qt it works well with it. If you have problems with the video window + going blank, just disable the option. + * The single instance option is now disabled by default on Windows, as some + people reported smplayer didn't start with it. + * 2nd try to make "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" the default vo on Windows + Vista. + +(2008-08-28) + * Set the frame counter to 0 when starting to play a file. Fixes bug + #2080802. + * Added in Preferences->Advanced an option to select the preferred network + connection, IPv4 or IPv6. (IPv4 is the default) + +(2008-08-26) + * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: report_mplayer_crashes. If set to + false, smplayer won't display the error dialog when mplayer crashes or + fails to start. + +(2008-08-25) + * Added the Arabic translation, by Muhammad Nour Hajj Omar + <arabianheart@live.com> + * Added some options in menu Play->Speed to increase/decrease the + speed by 1% and 4%. + * Bugfix: the gamma was not remembered. Fixes bug #2073257. + * Moved the log's section in Preferences->Advanced to a new tab. + +(2008-08-24) + * Fix: some of the actions passed to -actions may not work as expected + because they might be executed when the video is not playing yet. + This should now be fixed, as if a file is passed on command line, the + actions are not run until the video has started to play. (If there's no + file on command line the actions are run immediately) + +(2008-08-21) + * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio: "Enable the audio + equalizer". If this option is checked, the mplayer equalizer filter will + be used and the menu option Audio->Equalizer will be enabled. + +(2008-08-20) + * Moved the eq2 filter before the screenshot filter, otherwise the + screenshots are not affected by the settings in the video equalizer. + Obviously this requires the software equalizer (eq2) to be enabled. + This should fix bug #2062425. + * Added a new section in the config file: [floating_control] with 3 + options: animated, width and margin. The options "animated" and "width" + were previously available as floating_control_animated and + floating_control_width in the [default_gui] and [mini_gui] sections. + The option "margin" is new, and sets the number of pixels that the + floating control will be away from the border of the screen (by default, 0). + +(2008-08-19) + * Added two new functions for the mouse buttons: increase volume and + decrease volume. Closes feature request #2055061. + +(2008-08-18) + * Renamed Video->Aspect ratio->None to Video->Aspect ratio->Disabled and + Video->Aspect ratio->Autodetect to Video->Aspect ratio->Auto. + +(2008-08-17) + * Added a new (experimental) option: Video->Aspect ratio->None. When this + option is selected the video will be stretched to fill all the available + space, not keeping the aspect ratio. + Note: this option does NOT work properly if using x11 as video driver. + +(2008-08-16) + * Added m2ts to the list of extensions for video. + + +[b]Version 0.6.2[/b]: + +(2008-08-13) + * (Linux) The SSA/ASS library is enabled by default. + +(2008-08-12) + * Added the document Configuring_the_toolbars.txt. + * Added the new option Tips in the Help menu. It just opens a web browser + to http://smplayer.wiki.sourceforge.net/Tips. + +(2008-08-11) + * Bugfix: the volume slider appeared in the mini gui even if it had been + removed from the config file. + +(2008-08-09) + * As it seems many people don't understand (and even send bug reports without + reading the online help) the new meaning of the font scale options in + Preferences->Subtitles, those two options have been hidden. + (They can be made visible again changing the value of the new config + option show_font_scale_options_in_preferences). + +(2008-08-07) + * Added a time display to the floating control in the minigui. + * The playlist and the volume slider don't send mouse events to their + parents. Should fix bugs #1993291 and #2020003. + * Avoid to resize the main window to the default size (400x300) when + playing an audio file. + +(2008-08-06) + * The find subtitles dialog is now a top level window, instead of a dialog. + * Play the last item in the playlist if the "play previous" button is + pressed and the current item is the first one. Fixes bug #2040473. + * Added "play next" and "play previous" to the Play menu. + +(2008-08-03) + * A little reorganization in the General section in preferences and other + minor changes in other sections. + +(2008-07-28) + * Now the default cache for local files is 2000 KB, and for audio CDs and VCDs + is 1000 KB. + +(2008-07-26) + * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for VCDs. + +(2008-07-25) + * Added an option in Preferences->Performance to set the cache for + audio CDs. + +(2008-07-22) + * (Windows) Added to the file associations section the playlist + extensions. + +(2008-07-17) + * Try to use alsa as default audio driver in linux. + +(2008-07-16) + * Fix: remember the last directory used when adding files to the + playlist. Fixes bug #2019139. + +(2008-07-13) + * Another fix for Qt 4.4. Dragging files to the playlist didn't work. + * Added the Slovenian translation, by Janez Troha <janez.troha@gmail.com>. + * Fix: mplayer crashed when trying to play audio files if the option to + run mplayer in its own window was enabled. Now I hope this is fixed. + +(2008-07-12) + * Added a new option for command line: -sub. It specifies a subtitle file + to be loaded for the first video. It requires at least a file to play + in the command line, otherwise the option will be ignored. + * Added a new option "Play files from start" in the playlist preferences. + If enabled (the default) files in the playlist will begin to play from + the beginning, otherwise they'll play from the position they were last + time you played them. + +(2008-07-09) + * Now the initialization of the audio track should work ok again, even if + the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No". + +(2008-07-08) + * Added a context menu in the find subtitles dialog, with two options: + "download" and "copy link to clipboard". + +(2008-07-05) + * Some changes in the single instance options. Now the single instance is + enabled by default. There's also the possibility to let the application + to choose automatically the port to be used, which is also the default + option. + +(2008-07-03) + * Temporary fix for the problem created yesterday: now when a file starts to + play, the audio track will be changed using the mplayer slave command even + if the option "Fast audio track switching" is set to "No". This makes that + the selection of the initial audio track works ok with avi and mkv files + for example, but it won't work yet with ogm for instance. + * The floating control in the default gui saves/restores its actions to + the config file, so now it can be customized by the user. + * The seeking mini buttons come back. Now by default, the default gui + will show only two seeking buttons. Keeping them pressed for a moment + will pop up the rest of the buttons. You may need to delete the + [default_gui] section in the config file (or at least the options which + start with "actions\...") to see them. If you don't like these buttons + you can delete them from the config file and add the old ones. + +(2008-07-02) + * The SSA/ASS library is NOT enabled by default. It seems there are memory + leaks in libass... + * Fixed a crash which may happen if the option "Fast audio track switching" + was set to "No". As a side effect, now if that option is set to "No" the + preferred audio language (set in the preferences), won't be selected on + startup, the file will just start to play with the default audio track. + +(2008-07-01) + * The minimum size of the video window is now 1x1 instead of 0x0. Fixes a + crash that may happen under certain circumstances. + +(2008-06-26) + * Now everything in the audio equalizer should work. The "apply" button + restarts the file and passes the equalizer settings using the "equalizer" + filter in mplayer, so it allows to use the dialog with non-patched mplayer. + The "set as default values" just saves the current settings in the config + file and they will be used when playing new files. + +(2008-06-25) + * Added an audio equalizer. Not finished yet! + In order to work you need to patch mplayer with this patch: + http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/patcheq.diff + Otherwise it won't do anything (lie, if you restart the file the values in + the equalizer will take effect) + Missing or not working things: the "set as default values" button doesn't + work, an "apply" button is missing (this button will set the values + restarting mplayer, so it will work with a normal non-patched mplayer). + +(2008-06-24) + * Removed the action dock_playlist. It was causing a lot of troubles, even + crashes. + * New option for the config file: hide_video_window_on_audio_files. If + true (the default) the video window will be hidden when playing audio + files. Otherwise the video window won't be hidden and it will show the + smplayer logo instead. + It's not recommended to set this option to false in linux. + +(2008-06-21) + * Created a huge list of languages (with the ISO 639-1 codes) and make + the "find subtitles" dialog to use it. + * The Qt version is saved along with the toolbars state. This should avoid + problems when upgrading Qt, as the toolbars info won't be used if the + Qt version doesn't match. + * Added new action: dock_playlist. + +(2008-06-19) + * Some fixes in the find subtitles dialog: + - the dialog is retranslated + - the table is sorted (sometimes, still doesn't work well, at least with + Qt 4.2) + - it won't download the subtitle info again if the filenane didn't changed + * The floating control will be hidden if the mouse is not over the widget + within 5 seconds. + +(2008-06-18) + * The option "Subtitles->Find subtitles on the web" now displays a dialog + which retrieves the info about the available subtitles from + opensubtitles.org. To download a subtitle just double click on it or + click the "Download" button. + Known issues: the table is not sorted after adding new data. + To filter a language you have to type the ISO 639-1 code in the language + box. So to display only the Spanish subtitles you have to type "es", for + German "de" and so on. In the future there'll be a combobox to select + the language. + +(2008-06-13) + * Now the SSA/ASS library is enabled by default. + * gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack will be the default under Windows Vista + (untested). + +(2008-06-12) + * Updated the Hungarian translation, by CyberDragon <cyberdragon777@gmail.com> + +(2008-06-11) + * Now the default value for option change_equalizer_on_startup is true + (users which run the previous svn revision will have to make the change + manually) but the brightness, contrast... won't be changed on startup + if the value is 0. + * Also be sure that the equalizer dialog is updated just after a file begins + to play. + * Check that the values for brightness, contrast, saturation. hue and gamma + have actually changed before updating them. + * Renamed change_equalizer_on_startup to change_video_equalizer_on_startup. + +(2008-06-10) + * Renamed the config option "dont_use_eq_options" to + "change_equalizer_on_startup" and set it to false as default because + it seems some people are having problems with high brightness and contrast. + +(2008-06-09) + * Added the opensubtitles patch by Kamil Dziobek <turbos11@gmail.com> (with + some modifications). This adds an option in the subtitles menu which + allows you to download subtitles for the file you're playing, and another + one to upload subtitles. + +(2008-06-07) + * Manually removed "<pixmapfunction>qPixmapFromMimeSource</pixmapfunction>" + from several *.ui files because otherwise the files generated by uic + would depend on Q3Support. + +(2008-06-05) + * Now if we've got info about the size and aspect ratio (the file has been + played before) the main window will be resized before starting to play + the file. + +(2008-06-04) + * When entering in fullscreen, the playlist is hidden only if it's in the + same screen as the main window. (Untested!) + +(2008-06-03) + * Added the possibility to compile smplayer in Windows without the + file associations code, so it doesn't write anything in the + registry (important for a portable app). Just comment the line + DEFINES += USE_ASSOCIATIONS in smplayer.pro. + * Another fix for Qt 4.4. The language toolbar wasn't restored + properly. + * More work to make smplayer a better portable application (although most of + the following work on linux, it's intended for windows). If PORTABLE_APP + is defined (it can be done with 'qmake DEFINES+=PORTABLE_APP') then: + - it will use by default the application directory for the ini files + - it won't try to create the smplayer home directory or the screenshot + directory ($HOME/.smplayer and $HOME/.smplayer/screenshots) + - by default the path for the screenshots is empty + - under windows the associations code won't be compiled, so smplayer won't + write anything in the windows registry. + +(2008-06-02) + * Now the controlbar and floating control in the minigui can be + configured too. + * Some minor (and internal) changes: + - the playlist doesn't save its size as that is already done by + QMainWindow::saveState() + - sizes and positions are saved to the config file as QSize's and + QPoint's + +(2008-06-01) + * (Bugfix) The "modify shortcut" dialog was under the other windows if + the option Video -> Stay on top was enabled. + * Started to write the code to make the toolbars configurable: + - the list of actions in a widget can be saved to the config file + - a widget can be populated with the actions read from the config file + - as a test the toolbar1, controlwidget and controlwidget_mini in + defaultgui are saved to the config and loaded on startup + +(2008-05-30) + * The maximum port for the single instance is 65535, instead of 99999. + * Added a new option in guiconfig.h, USE_MINIMUMSIZE. If set to 1 + the main window will not be smaller than the control widget size hint. + + +[b]Version 0.6.1[/b]: + +(2008-05-26) + * The command line option -mini has been renamed to -minigui (-mini still + works) + * Added a new command line option -defaultgui, which selects the default + gui. + * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to select the preferred GUI. + This option is not applied immediately, you need to close smplayer and + open it again. + Note: the command line options -minigui and -defaultgui have preference + over this option. + +(2008-05-25) + * Some internal changes: baseguiplus saves some variables to the config + file so it can exit from compact mode properly even if made between + different sessions. Also the code to resize the main window when + entering/exiting compact mode has been moved from defaultgui to + baseguiplus. BTW, compact mode is broken if the playlist is embedded + in the main window. + * Maybe the compact mode with the playlist embedded in the main window + is fixed now. + +(2008-05-24) + * Added "gl:yuv=2:force-pbo:ati-hack" to the list of video drivers. This + seems to be very fast. Requires mplayer svn r26853 (from 2008-05-22). + * Now the video driver by default on Windows Vista is gl, instead of + directx. (Untested) + +(2008-05-22) + * Fix: changing the demuxer should not lose the audio or subtitles (but + the selected tracks after restart may be different). + +(2008-05-19) + * Fix: zoom didn't work well with directx. + * Added the Catalan translation, by Roger Calvó <rcalvoi@yahoo.com>. + +(2008-05-17) + * Now the maximum port for the single instance is 99999 instead of 10000. + +(2008-05-15) + * Now the "latest_dir" is updated too when opening a file from command line. + Also the "latest_dir" now defaults to the home directory instead of the + smplayer working directory. + * Now when switching to compact mode, the main window is resized instead of + leaving black borders where the widgets were placed. This resize will only + be done if the autoresize option is set to "whenever it's needed". + + +[b]Version 0.6.0[/b]: + +(2008-05-12) + * Improved the file smplayer.spec and added the script create_rpm.sh, both + contributed by iSage. + +(2008-05-08) + * Added m2t to the list of extensions for video. + +(2008-05-05) + * The option Play->Repeat is now always enabled, so it can be activated + before playing anything. + +(2008-05-03) + * Now, when browsing the recents menu, the statusbar shows the full path of + the selected item. + +(2008-04-30) + * Now the video equalizer displays the values of each control. + +(2008-04-28) + * Hopefully fixed the problem of the ghost playlist, visible for a moment + on startup. + * Updated the Portuguese (pt_PT) translation, made by Sérgio Marques + <contatica@netcabo.pt> + * (Linux) Added the file smplayer_enqueue.desktop which allows to add + the selected files in the file browser to the playlist. + +(2008-04-27) + * Now the time (and volume) sliders should work better. + +(2008-04-26) + * Now the default filter for Open->File is "multimedia", it shows video, + audio and playlist files. + * Added an option in the playlist's preferences to save a copy of the + contents of the playlist to the config file. + * (Bugfix) Don't allow to enter in compact mode when in fullscreen. + Fixes bug #1951297. + +(2008-04-25) + * Added a new widget (a line edit + a button) which allows the user to + select a file or directory. The preferences dialog now uses this widget. + +(2008-04-23) + * Fix loading idx/sub subtitles. The filename was incorrectly passed to + mplayer if it contained several dots. + +(2008-04-22) + * Now smplayer can detect if mplayer has been patched with the + startupvol patch. Autodetection will only succeed if mplayer has been + patched with this 2nd version of the patch: + http://smplayer.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/smplayer/mplayer-builds/patches/startupvol-2.diff + * Now the option "Change volume just before playing" in + Preferences->General->Audio can be set to "Auto". + +(2008-04-20) + * Added a preferences dialog for the playlist. + +(2008-04-19) + * Don't get info about the files added automatically by the GUI to the + playlist (usually it's the file to play, so it's a waste of time). + * Added possibility to add directories recursively to the playlist. Right + now it's necessary to edit smplayer.ini and set recursive_add_directory to + true (inside [playlist] section). Soon there'll be an option for this + in the GUI. + +(2008-04-18) + * (Windows) Applied a patch by "hackykid" to fix a link error when compiling with + Visual Studio. + http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1924296&group_id=185512&atid=913575 + +(2008-04-17) + * Updated the Italian and Polish translations. + * (Bugfix) If the option to start videos in fullscreen is activated, now + fullscreen mode will be entered only when the video is opened, and not for + instance when you unpause the video. + * (Windows) Added the exit fullscreen and close actions to the floating + control widget, so their key shortcuts can work in the floating control. + +(2008-04-16) + * Now the mouse right button can be configured. By default it will + show the context menu. The context menu can also be assigned to another + button (or key). + * Added the open directory action to the systray menu. Fixes bug #1943895. + + +[b]Version 0.6.0rc4[/b]: + +(2008-04-13) + * Added the action next_osd to the list of actions available for mouse + buttons. + +(2008-04-12) + * Now the possibility to get info (length, name) about the files added to + the playlist can be disabled. It's not in the preferences dialog as usual + but in the playlist itself, as an option in the "add" menu. + * Added the rewind and forward actions to the list of actions available for + mouse buttons. + +(2008-04-11) + * Added support for the mouse XButton1 and XButton2. This is untested as + my mouse doesn't have those buttons. + +(2008-04-10) + * Added in Preferences->General->Video an option to select the default + deinterlacer. It will be used for new videos opened. + +(2008-04-07) + * Now when a file is added to the playlist, it will get some info about it. + This allows to display the length and name (if available) in the list. + Very useful for mp3 and similar. + +(2008-04-06) + * If a file with the same name of the file to play but with extension + .edl (or .EDL) exists then smplayer will load it automatically (this can + be disabled by setting use_edl_files in smplayer.ini to false). + An edl file allows to skip or mute parts of the video. + Info about edl files: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/edl.html + +(2008-04-02) + * (Bugfix) When using the command line options -send-action or -actions, some + actions like aspect_4:3 didn't work. + +(2008-04-01) + * Don't check if the items in the recent's menu are local files, as it can + take a long time if they are not. + * Compiled with MINI_ARROW_BUTTONS = 0 by default (so reverting changes in + r1038-r1039). + +(2008-03-29) + * Fix: DVDs started to play at chapter #2 if using mplayer 1.0rc2 or older. + * Now the default gui will only show two arrow buttons for seeking + (rewind 10 secs and forward 10 secs) but if you keep those buttons + pressed for a moment a popup menu will show with the rest of the buttons. + + +[b]Version 0.6.0rc3[/b]: + +(2008-03-21) + * Try to use xv (or directx in windows) if the video driver is not set. + * Added Play->Jump to, which will show a dialog where you can enter the + position (time) to jump. + +(2008-03-20) + * Fix: selection of chapters should work again with newer versions of mplayer. + * Removed the option "Fast seek to chapters in dvds" in + Preferences->Performance. Now it will use the fast method if not using + a cache, and the slow one otherwise (the latter won't even work in newer + versions of mplayer, so it's recommended not to use a cache for dvds). + * Added rm and swf to the list of extensions. + +(2008-03-17) + * Added new menu Video->Rotate, with options to rotate the image. + * Show the language -if available- along with the name in the audio menu + (it may work too in the title menu). + +(2008-03-14) + * Now a dialog appears too if mplayer fails to start or crashes. + * Add the scale filter if using the soft equalizer and gl/gl2, to avoid + mplayer to complain. + * The subtitle actions are enabled now if the close caption option is checked. + +(2008-03-13) + * Added a new dialog to report the mplayer errors. + +(2008-03-11) + * Displays a warning dialog if mplayer exits with an exit code + different to 0. + +(2008-03-10) + * (Internal change) Use -monitorpixelaspect instead of -monitoraspect. + +(2008-03-08) + * Use -colorkey for directx only. + +(2008-03-06) + * Added more help for the subtitle, interface and advanced sections in + preferences. + +(2008-03-05) + * Ignore action restore/hide if system tray icon is not visible. Fixes + bug #1908229. + * Added option in config.h to disable the use of the colorkey. + +(2008-03-03) + * Now the shortcut editor should recognize some of the multimedia keys. + * (By user request) Added an action to reset the video equalizer. + * Remove starting and ending whitespaces in mp3 tags. Patch by + Tanguy Krotoff <tkrotoff@gmail.com> + +(2008-03-02) + * Bugfix: the keys PgDown and PgUp were incorrectly identified as PageDown + and PageUp by shortcutgetter. + +(2008-03-01) + * Try to keep fullscreen mode if running mplayer in its own window when + opening a new file. + * Added flac to the list of audio extensions. Patch by + Tanguy Krotoff <tkrotoff@gmail.com> + * Now changing the application stylesheet can be disabled setting + ALLOW_CHANGE_STYLESHEET to 0 in config.h + +(2008-02-29) + * Added the Macedonian translation by Marko Doda <mark0d0da@gmail.com> + * Added the Basque translation by Piarres Beobide <pi@beobide.net> + +(2008-02-26) + * Add the hue filter if the software equalizer is enabled. This allows to + change the hue in the video equalizer. + * Allow the software equalizer to be used with gl/gl2. Note: it won't work + with gl or gl2 but it will work with gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3. + +(2008-02-25) + * Bugfix: mark the right current item in the playlist if deleted an item + above it. Patch by corentin1234. + +(2008-02-23) + * Added two new options in the Subtitles menu: "Enable closed caption" and + "Forced subtitles only". These two options are global because they are + intended for DVDs. None of these two options have been tested! + +(2008-02-17) + * On startup smplayer will create a lock file (smplayer_init.lock in the + config directory) which will be removed once smplayer has been initialized. + If another instance finds that file it will wait until the file is deleted + (or 10 seconds have passed). + The reason for this is to give the first instance some time to proper + initialize in case several instances were launched at the same time (Windows + does it if you select to "Enqueue in smplayer" multiple files). + +(2008-02-16) + * New experimental code. New class "SMPlayer" which initializes the global + objects and can parse the arguments. There's also a new main (main2.cpp). + It's possible this could have broken something! + + +[b]Version 0.6.0rc2[/b]: + +(2008-02-11) + * Added gl:yuv=3 and gl2:yuv=3 to the list of video drivers. + +(2008-02-09) + * (Windows) Screensaver: set the timeout for lowpower, poweroff and + screensaver before playing, and restore on stop. + +(2008-02-08) + * (Windows) Bugfix: don't try to convert to 8.3 short names files that + don't exist. + +(2008-02-07) + * The script create_deb should compile and create the package much faster. + * Bugfix: if the mplayer binary configured in preferences is just "mplayer" + and there's a directory or file named mplayer in the smplayer working + directory, smplayer would try to call that file. Now it won't call it + if it's a regular file or directory, but WARNING if it's a binary it + still will call it (this is because it tries to convert the path in an + absolute path). + * Some fixes so smplayer can work ok with a relative mplayer path. + +(2008-02-06) + * Now selection of chapters in mkv files should work properly again if + using mplayer >= r25391. + +(2008-02-05) + * (Windows) Bugfix: the buttons to select the font color in + Preferences->Subtitles->SSA/ASS didn't show the color. + * Removed Yurkovsky Andrey from the list of translators, as requested + by himself. + +(2008-02-04) + * The option Play->Repeat should work better now. Also if using mplayer + >= r23747 toggling the option won't require to restart mplayer (uses + the loop slave command instead). + +(2008-02-03) + * Try to remember if the window was maximized after exiting from fullscreen. + * Added workaround for the problem of subtitles which don't disappear when + using the "Add black borders" filter. + + +[b]Version 0.6.0rc1[/b]: + +(2008-01-30) + * Added the Korean translation, by Heesu Yoon <imsu30@gmail.com> + +(2008-01-29) + * If a version is not recognized, assume it's an old version instead of new. + This way at least the file will play. + * Now smplayer should recognize the mplayer version from ubuntu packages + (MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1-0ubuntu13.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team). + * Changed some defaults in preferences: framedrop will be enabled, and + subtitles on screenshots disabled. + +(2008-01-28) + * Now the user can tell smplayer what version of mplayer is using, with the + config option mplayer_forced_version. Anyway in the future there'll be + a dialog to configure this. + * Renamed mplayer_forced_version to mplayer_user_supplied_version. That + version will be used only if smplayer can't parse the mplayer version from + the mplayer output. + * Now if the mplayer version can't be parsed a dialog will pop up asking the + user for the mplayer version. + +(2008-01-26) + * Now it's possible to zoom out on the video image. + * Cosmetic change: now the mouse icon in Preferences->Interface->Seeking + has the same size as the icons above. + * Moved to old-txt some outdated txt files. + * Updated Release_notes.txt, with the changes since version 0.5.62. + * Now under Windows, the main window will never start hidden even if the + system tray icon is shown. This should fix bug #1851817. + On linux the behavior didn't change, as this is the way other applications + work. + +(2008-01-25) + * Updated the FAQ. + * If changing the size of the normal (no -ass) subtitles requires to + restart mplayer (because using an old version or configured this way) + the size will increase or decrease in steps of 1, instead of 0.2, to + make the resize faster. + * Added an option in Preferences->Subtitles to set the default font scale + for SSA/ASS subtitles. This has required to redesigned the section. + +(2008-01-24) + * Using now the sub_scale slave command for -ass subtitles. This allows to + change the font size on runtime. Requires MPlayer r25843. + * Now the font scale is stored in two independent variables, one if not + using libass and another if using it. This is because the same value + produces very different font sizes. A value of 7 can display subtitles + with a normal size if not using libass, but if libass is enabled the + font will be huge. + Important: the Scale option in Preferences->Subtitles, which sets the + initial font scale for new videos, will now be only used if libass is + disabled. + It has been added a similar option for libass, but currently it can only + be changed by editing smplayer.ini (initial_sub_scale_ass, default value 1). + +(2008-01-22) + * Now the delay to update the video while dragging the time slider can + be configured in smplayer.ini, option time_slider_drag_delay. The + value by default is 100 (milliseconds). + * The scale field in Preferences->Subtitles now accepts doubles. + Fixes bug #1876114. + +(2008-01-21) + * Added some new icons to the default theme taken from nuvoX + (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/nuvoX?content=38467) + +(2008-01-18) + * "Help->Command line options" now shows an html text, so it looks better. + +(2008-01-17) + * Added "Help->Command line options", which shows a text with help about + the available command line options. It displays the same as smplayer -h + but it will useful for Windows users, as smplayer -h doesn't work for + them. + +(2008-01-16) + * Now "Stay on top" is made properly, not cleaning the other flags. + * The Makefile installs the files in docs/ru + * Fixed a bug: Help->FAQ displayed the FAQ in the locale language and not + in the language set in smplayer. + * Now all the gpl.html in docs/ should be in UTF-8. + * Converted docs/es/gpl.html and docs/de/gpl.html to UTF-8. + * Added docs/ru/gpl.html. + +(2008-01-15) + * Now the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer. + * Added a new option: Options->Visualize motion vectors (-lavdopts vismv=7). + +(2008-01-14) + * Added gl:yuv=3:lscale=1 in the video output combo in preferences. + +(2008-01-10) + * Added an icon in the Instances tab so it doesn't look so empty + (instance1.png and instance2.png). + * Moved the seeking options in the Interface section to another tab. + +(2008-01-09) + * Added the possibility to update the position of video while + dragging the time slider (instead of updating it only when the + slider has been released). Currently it's only possible to + enable this option by changing the option update_while_seeking in + smplayer.ini. There'll be an option in preferences soon. + * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to configure that option. + +(2008-01-08) + * Added an icon for Help->FAQ (faq.png). + * Added an icon for Help->About Qt. The icon has been taken from the Qt + sources (qmessagebox.cpp). This icon can't be changed by any icon theme + (I don't think Trolltech would like it). + +(2008-01-06) + * The subtitles size will increase or decrease in steps of 1 instead of + 0.2 if using SSA/ASS lib (it requires restart mplayer, which is slower). + +(2008-01-04) + * Fixed a crash which may happen if trying to select a subtitle but + the subtitle list was empty. + +(2008-01-03) + * Now the GPL in English is in html too. From now on, all documents + that smplayer have to load should be in html. This is because the + debian packager compress all txt files, and so smplayer won't able + to find them. + * The file FAQ.txt has been moved to docs/en and converted to html. + * New option Help->FAQ, which will display the FAQ in your web browser. + +(2008-01-02) + * Added a function to get the path of a translatable document. The + translatable documents should be (in the sources) in the docs subdir. + * Now the GPL file is loaded from that path. + * Added the Spanish and German translation of the GPL v2. + +(2007-12-31) + * Now the QTextBrowsers really should have the same background color as the + near widgets. + * Now the about dialog can show the version number of mplayer. + * The about dialog displays the GPL in the license tab. Temporary the file + with the GPL text is embedded in the smplayer executable. In the future it + will be read from documentation directory. + +(2007-12-30) + * Replaced the QLabels and QTextEdits in the about dialog with QTextBrowsers, + and changed the background colors. + +(2007-12-29) + * Split the section "Video and audio" in Preferences->General into 2 sections. + * Added 3 icons in the about dialog (contributors.png, translators.png and + license.png), taken from Crystal Clear. + * (By user request) Added "normal speed" to the list of actions available for + mouse buttons. + +(2007-12-27) + * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Video and audio: change volume + just before playing. This should fix the problem of the loud volume on + startup. It sets the volume using the commandline option -volume, but + WARNING: mplayer doesn't have such option, you need a patched mplayer! + +(2007-12-26) + * New about dialog, with some tabs. + +(2007-12-24) + * (Windows) Preferences->Drives shows only cdrom devices. + +(2007-12-22) + * (Windows) Now idx/sub subtitles should work also when using short names. + So I think this stuff is finished. + * Added the Finnish translation, sent by peeaivo <peeaivo@gmail.com> + * For the option to skip the loop filter on HD videos: now a video is + considered HD if its height (not width!) is equal or greater than + the value specified in the HD_height option in smplayer.ini (720 by default). + * Updated the help for the loop filter option in Preferences->Performance. + +(2007-12-21) + * (Windows) Now the short names are used too for subtitle files (except + idx/sub) and external audio files. + * Added a manpage for smplayer, created by Matvey Kozhev <sikon@lucidfox.org> + * (By user request) The skip loop filter in Preferences->Performance has + changed. Now it's called "loop filter" and the possible values are: + "Enabled", "Skip (always)" and "Skip only on HD videos". If the last option + is selected, the loop filter will be skipped if the codec for the video is + "ffh264" and the width of the video is 1024 or greater (this value is + subject to change, possibly in the future it could be configured by the + user). + * Support for colored console output is disabled under Windows. I don't + know any build compiled with that option. + +(2007-12-20) + * (Windows) Added a new option for the config file: use_short_pathnames. + If set to true, smplayer will pass to mplayer the short filename(8+3) + to mplayer. This allows to play files which contains characters outside + the local codepage (mplayer bug). Currently this only works with the file + to play, not with subtitles filenames or other filenames that smplayer + might pass to mplayer. + To test: I don't know if this would break compatibility with Win98. + * (Windows) Added an option in Preferences->Advanced to enable easily the + option mentioned above. + * Added patch by profoX to add support for the mplayer output when compiled + with -enable-color-console. + +(2007-12-18) + * Moved the letterbox option to the filters submenu and renamed to + "Add black borders". + * Added the new option Video->Filters->Software scaling. Makes mplayer to + scale the video up to the width of your screen. This is slow, you'll need + a really fast computer. + +(2007-12-17) + * Updated the Russian translation, and added regular expressions + (Advanced->MPlayer language) for Russian, sent by wiselord1983@gmail.com + * Added patch by Florin Braghis <florin@libertv.ro> to support Win 98. + Modified a little bit by me to allow it to compile under linux (for testing). + * Added a new option: Video->Letterbox. It adds a black border around the + video, according to the aspect ratio of the monitor. + * Simplified the aspect ratio menu. The options "4:3 Letterbox", + "16:9 Letterbox", "4:3 Panscan", "4:3 to 16:9" have been deleted. The first + two are not necessary anymore because of the new Video->Letterbox option, + and the last two I think they are not necessary because smplayer can + simulate pan&scan since some time ago. Anyway they could be added again + if someone really needs them. + +(2007-12-14) + * Now smplayer stores the version number of mplayer in the config file and + can use it to know if that version provides some feature (like the + scaletempo filter) before running it. This makes possible to add + "autodetection" too for options that should be passed on command line. + * Now the option "High speed playback without altering pitch" (scaletempo) on + Preferences->General has 3 possible values: auto, yes and no. Auto + (the default) will use the scaletempo filter only if the mplayer you're + using has that filter. "Yes" or "no" will force to use it or not, no matter + of the mplayer version number. + +(2007-12-13) + * (Windows) Added patch by Florin Braghis <florin@libertv.ro> to improve the + file associations code. + See http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=470#p470 + * (By user request) Added the possibility to configure any of the mouse + buttons to show the equalizer. + * (Windows) Some clean up in the file associations code. Also made some + changes to allow to compile in linux (for testing, file associations + of course won't work, but I can see the dialog, translations and so on). + +(2007-12-10) + * (Internal change) Added mplayerversion.h and mplayerversion.cpp which + parses the mplayer version from the output of mplayer. Inforeader can also + get the mplayer version. + * Now the size of OSD/subtitle text increases/decreases in steps of 0.20. + +(2007-12-08) + * Added a new option for the config file: use_volume_option. If set to + true, smplayer will set the initial volume using the command line option + -volume in mplayer, so that should avoid that the volume is too loud on + startup. But... mplayer doesn't have a -volume option yet, you have to + patch it: + http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-users/2007-December/070500.html + +(2007-12-05) + * (By user request) Added a new option for the config file: + auto_add_to_playlist. If true, new opened files are added automatically to + the playlist (this is the default). Otherwise the playlist won't be + modified unless it's strictly necessary (play a dvd, vcd, audiocd, or + several files are opened at the same time). + +(2007-12-04) + * When a file has stopped, the screensaver won't be allowed to run until + an additional minute has passed, so it there are more files in the + playlist they have time to start. A minute should be enough even for + internet streams. + +(2007-11-29) + * Now the cache setting is independent for each type of media. That means + that you can disable cache for local files (faster startup) while keeping + a cache for internet streams. + The following options for the config file have been added: cache_for_files, + cache_for_streams, cache_for_dvds, cache_for_audiocds and cache_for_vcds + (the last two untested). + The section Performance in the preferences dialog has been changed too, + adding options for cache for files, cache for streams and cache for dvds. + Note: it's not recommended to set a cache for DVDs, seeking might not work + properly. + +(2007-11-28) + * Added a new experimental code to disable the screensaver (and monitor + turning off) on Windows. + * Deleted the old (ancient) code for subtitle management. + +(2007-11-27) + * If mplayer is compiled with gui support, it seems pause may not work + properly. I think this is fixed now, by changing the PAUSE command in + input.conf. Should fix bug #1839110. + * Now the option Open->VCD is enabled under Windows. + +(2007-11-25) + * A very important changed has been added in this revision. SMPlayer is + the first mplayer frontend in the world (I guess) which uses the new + slave commands sub_vob, sub_demux and sub_file (added a few hours ago in the + mplayer svn). These commands, at last, allow to accurately select the + subtitle track. Now you can mix without problems subtitles from different + sources: embedded subtitles (like in mkv or mp4 or dvds) and external + subtitles (srt, sub, idx/sub...), and now subtitle selection in mp4 files + should work again (fixes bug #1806153). + This possibility requires mplayer svn r25158 or above. + The following option for the config file has been added: + use_new_sub_commands. The possible values are: 0 (false), 1 (true), + -1 (autodetect). The default value is -1. Autodetection will use the new + commands or the old command according to the mplayer version. + +(2007-11-24) + * Added Polish texts for the comboboxes in Preferences->Advanced->MPlayer + language, sent by jarek. + +(2007-11-21) + * Added support for playlists in format pls. Now smplayer can open and + save pls files (only local files). + Not much sure if QSettings produce a file readable by other applications + (tested with xmms and it seems it works ok). + +(2007-11-20) + * (Internal change) Added a new list in extensions: multimedia, which + includes both video and audio extensions. + * Now "Add directory" in playlist only adds video and audio files (not + subtitles files, images or any other stuff you may have there). + +(2007-11-19) + * Added patch by redxii, which provide a new icon for file associations + under Windows. + + +[b]Version 0.5.62[/b]: + +(2007-11-16) + * Added a new option in Preferences->General->Audio that allows to change + the playback speed without altering the pitch (requires at least + MPlayer dev-SVN-r24924). + * Released version 0.5.62. Why not? + +(2007-11-15) + * Fixed a bug in the new code in defaultgui: if you close the program in + compact mode, then later when quiting compact mode the toolbars don't + appear. + * (Internal change) Now lists for video, audio, subtitles and playlists + extensions are defined in extensions.h/extensions.cpp. + * Added the audio types to the associations section in preferences. + +(2007-11-13) + * Simplified the code of defaultgui, using the actions provided by + the toolbars instead of creating new ones, and removing some old + code. + +(2007-11-12) + * (Fix) Now changing the volume when the file is paused really keeps + pause. This is done by not changing the volume immediately but + scheduling the volume change just after the file plays again. + * The position and size calculations of the floating widget is now made + in the floatingwidget code instead of the gui code. + * Now the floating control shows with an animation! (It can be disabled in + the config file). + * (By user request) Added a new function for the mouse wheel: change playback + speed. + +(2007-11-10) + * (Experimental) New floating control (it looks like the old one) by using the + new floatingwidget. This time it has an embedded toolbar, so actions are + added to it (can't actions be added directly to widgets?). Previously every + button and widget had to be created individually (making connections and + so on), duplicating code. Now it's a lot easier. + * Started to write the "mini gui". This is an optional gui, with very few + buttons: it doesn't have a toolbar, and the control bar only have a + play/pause, stop and mute buttons, and the time slider. It also provides + a floating control with less buttons. + To enable it: smplayer -mini + This gui is in fact intended to be an example on how to create alternative + gui's for smplayer. + +(2007-11-09) + * Added options in Preferences->Advanced to save automatically the mplayer + log every time a new file is played. Intended for external applications. + Most of the code developed by iSage. + +(2007-11-07) + * More work on the new code for time and volume sliders. + +(2007-11-06) + * (Experimental internal change) Created a wrapper for the time and volume + slider using QWidgetAction. Until now whenever a time or volume slider were + needed (there are 3 time sliders and 3 volume sliders) each widget had to + be created, set its properties, make connections... individually = a lot + of duplicated code. Now only one object has to be created (one for the time + slider, another one for the volume slider) and then it can be inserted in + any widget that accepts QAction's, as many times as necessary. + Less code and easier. + +(2007-11-05) + * Removed option H.264->Skip frames, as it affects non H.264 videos too. + The option in the config file is still available. + * Added again the "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Performance, + with a combo to select the 3 possible values: Auto, Yes and No. + There's included help for this option, so I won't explain here. + * (By user request) Added a new option for the mouse wheel combo in + Preferences->Keyboard & mouse: "No function". If selected the mouse + wheel will do nothing. + +(2007-11-03) + * Adapted the code for patch select_sub_by_source_property2.diff. + +(2007-11-02) + * Added the Greek translation sent by my80s <wamy80s@gmail.com>. + +(2007-11-01) + * Fixed a bug which prevented to select the first (or preferred) subtitle + when playing a new video. + * Now mplayerprocess can identify the mplayer version (or svn revision). + * Added autodetection possibility for changing the font size of subtitles. + Now the values for the config option "change_sub_scale_requires_restart" + are different: -1 means autodetect, 0 = false, 1 = true (by default -1). + Autodetect will check the mplayer version to know if it's recent enough + to have the slave command "sub_scale". But autodetect can fail with very + old versions of mplayer (< 1.0rc1). + * Renamed "change_sub_scale_requires_restart" to + "change_sub_scale_should_restart" to force everyone to use the new default + value. + * Added autodetection possibility for changing audio track. + * The config option "audio_change_requires_restart" has been renamed to + "audio_change_should_restart". It also accepts three values (-1, 0 and 1) + being -1 autodetection. The default option is -1, which means that + the mplayer version will be checked to know if changing audio track + needs to restart the mplayer process or not. + * The option "Fast audio track switching" in Preferences->Advanced has been + disabled until a new one (a combobox) which supports the 3 values is added. + +(2007-10-31) + * Added code to test the slave command "select_sub" (see + http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2007-October/054651.html) + The code is disabled by default. To activate it set USE_SELECT_SUB to 1 in + config.h. + +(2007-10-30) + * Changed the layout of some sections in preferences to make them smaller. + +(2007-10-29) + * (Experimental) Enable or disable some actions according to the current state. + For example, the audio actions should be disabled if the file has no audio + track. + * (Fix) The time slider goes to 0 if the user press stop twice. + +(2007-10-26) + * (Internal change) Renamed font_textscale in preferences to initial_sub_scale. + * Assigned the new actions to change font size to the keys Shift+R (Size-) and + Shift+T (Size+). + * (Experimental) Now it's possible to dock the playlist on the left and right + sides of the main window. + +(2007-10-25) + * Now the -nostop-xscreensaver option is passed to mplayer if the screensaver + is not to be disabled. + * Added two new options for the subtitle menu: Size+ and Size-. They change + the subtitle size. This also changes the meaning of the Scale setting in + Preferences->Subtitles, it specifies now the default subtitle size for + new videos. + These new options use the new mplayer slave command sub_scale, so changing + the size won't require to restart mplayer. Unfortunately this doesn't work + with the SSA/ASS lib, in this case mplayer will be restarted. + If you use an old version of mplayer which doesn't have the sub_scale + slave command, you need to set to "true" the following option in the + config file: change_sub_scale_requires_restart + +(2007-10-22) + * Reorganized the layout of Preferences->Subtitles. + * Preferences->Keyboard and mouse: the list of available actions for mouse + buttons has been reduced. Only the most useful for mouse buttons are there. + * Now the middle click button is also configurable. The default action is + mute. + * Now the default icon theme is Nuvola. + * Added two new options in Preferences->Performance for H.264 videos: + Skip loop filter (the famous "-lavdopts skiploopfilter=all") and + Skip frames. + This may allow "slow" computers (like mine) to play H.264 HD videos, + although these options may produce a high quality loss. I prefer to scale + down a little bit the image (1024x576 or 768x432). + +(2007-10-21) + * Now the aspect ratio settings should work when using the mplayer own window. + Note: the option "Autodetect" may not work correctly in this case. + +(2007-10-19) + * Updated the Polish translation. + * Improved layout of section "Preferred audio & subtitles" in + Preferences->General. + +(2007-10-18) + * (Internal change) Don't use the pref object in mplayerwindow. + * Now the first track number for initial_subtitle_track and + initial_audio_track (in config) is 1, instead of 0, to make it more natural. + * Added in Preferences->General options to choose the initial audio & + subtitle tracks. + +(2007-10-17) + * Added a 2nd patch by LoRd_MuldeR for winfileassoc.cpp. + * Added a work-around for a problem which prevents to use the arrow keys + for shortcuts when using Simplified-Chinese. + +(2007-10-15) + * Added clean_windows.bat, which deletes the compilation files. + * Now the settings for played files will be saved in an independent file: + ~/.smplayer/smplayer_files.ini (or under the directory set in -ini-path). + +(2007-10-14) + * Added patch by LoRd_MuldeR for prefassociations.cpp and winfileassoc.cpp to + make the file associations code compatible with SetFileAssoc.exe. It also + adds an "Enqueue in SMPlayer" for the context menu. Not tested yet. + * Disable compact mode when the video window is hidden (playing an audio + file or using the mplayer window). I think this fixes bug #1812952. + * New option for the config file: allow_video_movement. If true the video + can be moved (Alt+cursors) even if not using zoom. + +(2007-10-13) + * Updated the Ukrainian translation. + +(2007-10-10) + * Updated the Slovak translation. + + +[b]Version 0.5.61[/b]: + +(2007-10-08) + * Updated the Polish translation. + * Added new icon (pref_associations.png). + * Not compiling prefassociations and winfileassoc in linux, as they won't be + used, to save some bytes and some secs of compilation. + * Added *.ape to the list of audio files. + +(2007-10-07) + * (Windows) Added a new section in Preferences to associate file types with + SMPlayer. Patch by Florin Braghis (florin@libertv.ro). + +(2007-10-06) + * Updated the Polish translation. + * Added two new options for the configuration file, in section [defaults]: + initial_audio_track and initial_subtitle_track. When a new file is played + the values of these options will be used to select the audio and subtitle + tracks. The first track is 0 (not 1). If the value is wrong, the first + track will be used. The default value for both options is 0. + Note: the "Preferred audio and subtitles" in Preferences->General will have + preference over these options. + * Added "Arabic (CP1256)" to the list of encodings for subtitles. + +(2007-10-05) + * Now the icon for Windows (smplayer.ico) is bigger (48x48). + * Updated the Chinese (zh_CN) translation. + * Commented code to use an intermediate program for mplayer, 'cos it doesn't + work at all. + * Added new option for command line: -no-close-at-end, which is the opposite + of -close-at-end. + * Added two new options for command line: -fullscreen and -no-fullscreen. + -fullscreen will play the video in fullscreen mode, while -no-fullscreen + will play it in window mode. For simplification these options just modify + the option "Start videos in fullscreen" in Preferences->General->Video and + audio. + +(2007-10-04) + * Added some code to use an intermediate program for mplayer, when using + Windows 98 and ME. Not tested yet. (Written in linux) + +(2007-10-02) + * Ported to Qt 4 the old code to handle subtitles. It seems we may need it. + +(2007-10-01) + * Added a work-around to try to fix a problem in windows. When using gl/gl2, + minimize the window, when restored the video is black. The only fix I + found until now is to restart mplayer. + * Try to keep the video paused when changing volume. It doesn't work well + because of limitations of mplayer. + * Small fix: don't use the screenshot filter if the screenshot directory + entered by the user is not a real directory. + +(2007-09-30) + * Updated the German translation. + * Added USE_MULTIPLE_SHORTCUTS in config.h to enable or disable the new + code for multiple shortcuts (enabled by default). + * Deleted the actions inc_volume2 and dec_volume2 as now they are not + necessary. Their shortcuts are now in increase_volume and decrease_volume. + * Activated again the new resize code. + +(2007-09-28) + * Now actions can have multiple shortcuts. That means that you can assign + several keys for the same action. To do this, in the "modify shortcut" + dialog in the actions editor, disable the "Capture" button and then + enter the keys names separated by commas. For example: "Space, A" (will + activate the action when pressed Space or A), "F, Ctrl+F, W" (will + activate the action when pressed F or Ctrl+F or W). + Note 1: the menus (and tooltips) will only show the first shortcut. + Note 2: the actions editor won't be able to detect conflicts when entered + shortcuts this way. In case of a conflict (the same key assigned to + several actions) the key won't work. + +(2007-09-27) + * Updated the Polish translation. + +(2007-09-26) + * Updated the Polish translation. + * Now if a smplayer.ini is found on the application directory, it will be + used to read and save the configuration (unless -ini-path is used). + * Now -ini-path requires a directory. -ini-path alone will fail and report + an error. + +(2007-09-25) + * Updated the Hungarian translation. + * Bugfix: Drag&drop didn't work with *.part files, as the extension + matched with a subtitle extension (*.rt), so it was tried to be loaded + as a subtitle. + * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->General. + * Updated the Dutch and Polish translations. + * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->Performance. + * Added help messages for all options in Preferences->Keyboard and mouse. + * Updated the Spanish translation. + +(2007-09-23) + * Updated the Romanian translation. + * Added *.ra to the list of audio files. This fixes bug #1799930. + * Translated into Spanish the help texts I took from the mplayer manpage + (in fact I've just took the translations from the Spanish translation of + the manpage) + +(2007-09-20) + * Updated the Ukrainian translation. + * Added new option for command line: -add-to-playlist. If another instance + of smplayer is found, the specified files will be added to that instance's + playlist (nothing more will be done). If no other instance is found, + this option won't do anything, the specified files will be opened as usual + in a new instance. + * Removed the option Audio->Channels->Default, as the mplayer default + is stereo. + +(2007-09-19) + * Fix: Don't try to connect in main.cpp to another running instance if + the single instance is disabled! That also means that the command line + option -send-action won't work in that case. + + +[b]Version 0.5.60[/b]: + * Updated the Japanese and French translations. + +(2007-09-19) + * Updated the German translation. + * (Windows) Maybe a fix to avoid the video to pause when entering in + fullscreen and the option "Pause when minimized" is enabled. Not tested + yet. + +(2007-09-18) + * The playlist will be floating as default. + * (By user request) Added the option "Pause when minimized" in Preferences-> + General. If checked, the current file will be paused when the main window + is hidden. When the main window is visible again play will resume. + Currently it has two problems: if the file was already paused before + hiding, smplayer won't remember it so when the main window is made visible + the file will be played. And this setting also affects audio files, which + maybe is not appropriate. + * Updated the Polish translation. + +(2007-09-16) + * Replaced the QAction's activated() signal with triggered(). Now smplayer + runs without warnings in kubuntu with Qt 4.3. And I think now the port to + Qt 4 has really finished. + Anyway this is a delicated change, a small mistake and something could stop + working. + * Updated the Hungarian translation. + +(2007-09-15) + * The script create_deb.sh changes the debian changelog so the SVN revision + number is added to the generated *.deb file. + * Added new option "Channels by default" in Preferences->General->Audio. + * BTW, now the initial_* options in preferences are stored in its own + section "[default]" in the config file. + +(2007-09-14) + * Added a small program (getrev) to extract the SVN revision number. Intended + for Windows, where the script get_svn_revision.sh doesn't work. + * Compiling as default the old code to resize the main window, as it has been + reported that the new one doesn't work on some systems. + +(2007-09-13) + * Updated the Ukrainian, German and Japanese translations. + * Now version.cpp returns the svn revision number. + +[b]Version 0.5.59[/b] + * Updated the Ukrainian translation. + * Bugfix: when passing only one file through command line, the file wasn't + added to the playlist. + * Added support for right to left languages. The arrow icons are reversed. + Has the play icon to be reversed too? I've done, but I'm not sure. + Unfortunately the jump-where-clicked feature in time (and volume) slider + doesn't work well with RTL layout, so it's disabled in that case. + If you want to take a look, run "smplayer -reverse". + * By user request, added the total time in the floating control. + +[b]Version 0.5.58[/b] + * Updated the Polish, Ukrainian and German translations. + * I hope the problems in Windows with the new code to resize the main + window are fixed now. + * If the user selects the option to never resize the main window, the + main window won't be resized when the playlist is docked/undocked. + * The playlist is enabled again in fullscreen mode, although it will only + appear floating. + * Added dvr-ms to the list of extensions that the open dialog will show + for videos. + * Added an option in Preferences->Interface to change the default font of + the application. + +[b]Version 0.5.57[/b] + * Fixes in the window resize code. Now resizes should be much smoother. + Only if you do something that alter the size of the window, like moving + a toolbar or docking the playlist, could produce some flickering if + you later change the video size using any of the options in the menu + Video->Size. It also has to fix the problem that the window gets a very + small that happens in Windows (although I couldn't test it). + Of course this is in linux using Qt 4.2.3. Will it work on Windows with + Qt 4.3.1? + * Added the action "Toggle double size" in Video->Size. + +[b]Version 0.5.56[/b] + * Updated the French translation. + * Fixed regular expression in core.cpp to identify the DVD drive letter. + * Rewrite the code to automatically resize the main window. + * More fixes in the code to embed the playlist in the main window. + Now exiting fullscreen works ok, the playlist is restored where it was + before. There are still some minor issues. + In my computer (linux, Qt 4.2.3) it works quite well, so I enable again + the code by default. But... will it work on Windows and Qt 4.3.1? + +[b]Version 0.5.55[/b] + * Updated the Japanese, Polish, Ukrainian, German, Romanian and Dutch + translations. + * The trailing "/" in dvd device paths will be removed again, but not + if used with drive letters (E:/ for instance). It seems that sometimes + it's necessary to enter the drive that way in order to play a DVD. + * Fixed all deprecated warnings. Now smplayer can be compiled without + QT3_SUPPORT defined. Still using deprecated signals (for instance + for QActions) but I've got no warnings about them so it'll be + difficult to fix unless I compile Qt with no Qt3 support at all + (I guess). + +[b]Version 0.5.54[/b] + * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Romanian translations. + * Disabled again the playlist in main window as it has serious problems with + Qt 4.3.1 (at least in Windows). + * The trailing "/" in dvd device paths won't be removed. It seems that + sometimes it's necessary. But be carefully, Windows users, when playing a + dvd from a folder in the hard disc the path shouldn't end in "/", that + would make mplayer to fail. + * (By user request) Added "Video->Flip image" which flips the image + upside-down. This option will affect the current video only, it's not + a global option. + * Now you can move the toolbars wherever you want. + * Added the option "Create index if needed" in Preferences->Performance. + The option will pass -idx to mplayer. From mplayer manpage: + "Rebuilds index of files if no index was found, allowing seeking. + Useful with broken/incomplete downloads, or badly created files." + +[b]Version 0.5.53[/b] + * Some fixes in the code to add the file to play in the playlist. + * Some more improvements on the playlist embedded in the main window: + now the main window resizes when the playlist is docked/undocked. + It also remembers its state on startup. + For first time this code will be compiled as default so other people could + test it. Anyway there's two known issues: the main window doesn't resize + properly when playing an audio file (no video window) and the playlist + is undocked (maybe another Qt 4.2.3 bug?). And to avoid some problems when + exiting from fullscreen, the playlist is made floatable when entering in + fullscreen mode. + How to use it? The playlist will appear by default docked in the bottom area. + You can move it to the top area if you want, or make it floatable + by dragging it outside the window. You can dock it again by dragging the + playlist to the bottom or top areas of the main window (there's also + a button in the title bar for this). + * Added a help message about the option "It's a playlist" in Open->URL. + +[b]Version 0.5.52[/b] + * Updated the Russian translation. + * Fix in the open URL dialog: the text should be selected now. + * Fix for Qt 4.3.1 under Windows: after playing an audio file the video window + didn't show when playing a video. + * Experimental: add file to be opened in the playlist (deleting the whole + playlist first). This prevents that when a file finishes, an item from an + old playlist starts to play. + * Added a context menu for when clicking on a toolbar. + +[b]Version 0.5.51[/b] + * Updated the Chinese (zh_CN), French, Romanian, German, Ukrainian and + Polish translations. + * By mistake, the new option "close when finish" was enabled by default. + Now that option will be disabled by default. + * (Windows) When using Qt 4.3, inforeader fails, it can't read the output + of mplayer. That means there won't be info about the codecs, demuxers, + output drivers... I don't know why that happens, but disabling redirection + of the mplayer output to a temporary file makes it to work again. + I also realized that QProcess in Qt 4.3 works much better, so it's not + necessary to send the mplayer output to a temporary file. So now if + compiled with Qt 4.3 it won't use temporary files, fixing the problem with + inforeader. Still there's a problem, if compiled with Qt 4.2.3 but using + the Qt 4.3 dll's, the problem will still be present. Unless... + * Now inforeader uses QProcess (not myprocess), so now it shouldn't be + affected by the problem metioned before. + * It doesn't try to create the app home directory ($HOME/.smplayer) if + -ini-path is used. + +[b]Version 0.5.50[/b] + * Updated the German, Ukrainian and Japanese translations. + * I hope, fixed a problem with the playlist actions not showing (or + appearing duplicated) in the actions editor. Now it works ok with Qt 4.2.3 + but I won't be sure the problem is really fixed until I test it with Qt 4.3. + * Added the option Subtitles->Use SSA/ASS library, to make easy to enable + or disable the use of the ass lib without having to open the + preferences dialog. + * Added new option in Preferences->General: Close when finished. If checked, + the main window will be closed when the current file/playlist finishes. + Now the command line option -close-at-end just will enable that option. + * Added shortcuts in the Preferences->Subtitles dialog. + +[b]Version 0.5.49[/b] + * Updated the Polish and Ukrainian translations. + * Fixed warnings about using deprecated setBackgroundColor. + * Renamed command line option -action to -send-action. This option will + try to send the specified action to another running instance of smplayer, + after that it will quit. + * Added a new option for command line: -actions. As opposite to -send-action, + this option will run the actions in the same instance. There could be + several actions, separated by spaces (and enclosed in quotes). Examples: + [i]smplayer video.avi -actions fullscreen[/i] (the file video.avi will be + loaded, and just after that fullscreen mode will be toggled). + [i]smplayer video.avi -actions "extrastereo_filter on_top"[/i] (will load + the video, and then the extrastereo filter and the stay on top options + will be toggled. + "Toggled" means: if the option was previosly enabled now it will disabled + and vice versa. If you want to be sure that an option will be on or off + you can pass "true" or "false" as parameter: + [i]smplayer video.avi -actions "on_top true"[/i] (the option Video->Stay on + top will be checked, no matter the previous state). + [i]smplayer -actions "show_language_toolbar false"[/i] (will hide the + language toolbar) + Some actions are not checkable, like open_vcd, double_speed... In that case + you shouldn't use "true" or "false". But if you do it will be ignored. + If you make a mistake and enter an action that doesn't exists, you'll get + a warning (in the logs or in console) and it'll be ignored. + +[b]Version 0.5.48[/b] + * Updated the Russian and Japanese translations. + * Now smplayer will also look for icon themes in $HOME/.smplayer/themes. + In the case a theme is both in the user directory and the system directory + (usually /usr/share/smplayer/themes) it will look first in the user + directory. If the icon is not there then it will look in the system + directory. + * Under linux the buttons for color selection (Preferences->Subtitles) now + look better. + +[b]Version 0.5.47[/b] + * Updated the Russian, German, French and Romanian translations. + * Now the helping messages (for -help) are formated automatically by a + function, making easy to translate these messages. I apologize for + yesterday's madness. As compensation I have adapted myself the translations + I received today. + There's nothing more new in this version, but I release it so other + translators don't go crazy. + +[b]Version 0.5.46[/b] + * Added the option -playlist for command line. This option should be + prepended in front of a filename (URL or whatever). This option will make + mplayer to treat the file as a playlist. This option has nothing to do + with smplayer's playlist! In fact smplayer won't have any control over + the playlist at all. For smplayer it will just be like a single file. + * Added the option -help for command line. It will show a helping message. + BTW, the translators will have a challenge, as keeping the formating + is not easy. (Take a look at the Spanish translation). + * Added the option -close-at-end command line. The main window will be + closed when the file/playlist finishes. + +[b]Version 0.5.45[/b] + * Updated the Ukrainian and German translations. + * The playlist check in the open URL dialog works. If checked the option + -playlist will be added to the mplayer command line. (Internally some text + will be appended to the URL, so smplayer can recognize it. This may seem + ugly (and it is) but allows to add the URL to a playlist or to the recent + files menu, and it will still work). + * Added an icon to the open URL dialog (url_big.png). + * Added two options for the config file: [i]enable_audiocd_on_windows[/i] and + [i]enable_vcd_on_windows[/i]. It seems that mplayer on Windows doesn't have + support for VCDs and Audio CDs (at least not the build supplied with + smplayer). Setting these options to "true" will enable the entries in the + open menu. + +[b]Version 0.5.44[/b] + * Updated the Polish, German and French translations. + * When trying to stop a video, the mplayer process will be killed if it + doesn't finish within 3 seconds. + * New dialog to enter a URL (the playlist check doesn't work yet). + * Don't load actions from playlist to the actions' editor as it seems + they are already there from the main window (in Qt 4.3 they appear twice). + +[b]Version 0.5.43[/b] + * Updated the Italian translation. + * Small fix for Windows in the fullscreen code. + * Removed the "&" characters in the description of the actions in the + actions' editor. + * Using less deprecated functions. + +[b]Version 0.5.42[/b] + * Serious bug: a lot of actions were missing in the actions' editor. Fixed. + * More improvements with the playlist embedded in the main window: now it + should be properly hidden/shown when toggling compact and fullscreen mode, + and when clicking on the systray icon. Also the playlist button in toolbar + (and menu) should be updated when the playlist is closed by clicking + on its close button. But you'll see that now the main window is not + resized when the playlist is shown or hidden. I left this problem for the + end (it's not trivial). Anyway you can press CTRL-1 to force a resize. + This code is not compiled by default yet. If you want to see it, + change the value of DOCK_PLAYLIST to 1 in config.h before compiling. + +[b]Version 0.5.41[/b] + * Updated the Ukrainian and Russian translations. + * Fixed the problem with the Video->Size menu. All options will work now + no matter of the previous selection. + * Some changes in Install.txt, just to mark some obsolete sections and + make clear that it can only be compiled with Qt >= 4.2. + +[b]Version 0.5.40[/b] + * Ported to Qt 4. Easy to say but it took almost 2 months, and it's not + completely finished yet (still using some deprecated functions). + + Some other changes since version 0.5.21 (for details read the Porting_log): + + * Now the option "Don't repaint the video background" is checked by default + in linux. + * Created the file create_deb.sh, specially for Ubunty users. If you run it, + it would create a deb package. + * Added a bat file (compile_windows.bat) to make easier the compilation in + windows. + * New button in the preferences dialog: Help. It will display some help + about the options in the current section. + * Now the configuration file will be in $HOME/.smplayer/smplayer.ini and + $HOME/.smplayer/screenshots will be used as the default directory to + save the screenshots. + * Bug fix: now the info about the demuxer, audio and video codec are updated + after a restart of the mplayer process. + * Fix: now reading the info about video, audio drivers, codecs and demuxers + is done in a language independent way (it looks for tags like + "ID_VIDEO_OUTPUTS" instead of English text). + * Now changing a key shortcut in the actions' editor is much easier. Now you + double click or press enter on a shortcut (you can do it in any column) + and a dialog will appear to ask you for the new shortcut. In this dialog + you press the key or combination of keys that you want to assign to the + shortcut. If you want to delete, just click on the Clear button. + Note: this has been done by using some code from Edyuk + (http://www.edyuk.org) + * By user request: added a new option in Preferences->Interface: + Change volume on every file. If checked SMPlayer will remember the + volume of every file, and will be restored when played again. For new + files the default volume will be used. That was the normal behavior until + now. The new thing is if you uncheck it. In this case SMPlayer will never + change the volume when a file is loaded. Problem: on startup SMPlayer + won't know the current volume value, the volume slider will be wrong. + * New option for command line that I think it could be very useful: -action + This option passes the specified action to an already running instance. + For instance, you're watching a video in smplayer, then you type: + [i]smplayer -action pause[/i] and the video will be paused. + [i]smplayer -action fullscreen[/i] will toggle the video to fullscreen. + This will allow to control smplayer with a remote control. + You can see a list of all available actions in "Preferences->Keyboard and + mouse". Under the "Name" column in the shortcut editor you've got all + action's names. + When using -action all other parameters (except ini-path) are ignored. + So it you want to open a movie and enter in fullscreen, this is NOT valid: + [i]smplayer movie.avi -action fullscreen[/i] + But you can do it in two steps: + [i]smplayer movie.avi[/i] + [i]smplayer -action fullscreen[/i] + The exit code will be 0 if the -action option is successful and -1 + if there's an error. + * In Windows, along with the screensaver, the monitor power off will be + disabled too. + * (By user request) Added a new option in Preferences->Interface: + "Remember position and size" (of the main window). Checked by default. + * (By user request) Added two new optins in Preferences->General->Video & audio: + "Direct rendering" and "Double buffering". + * Changed the behavior of "Use postprocessing" and "Volume normalization" + in Preferences->General. Previously if you check "Use postprocessing" for + instance, then all videos will use postprocessing, no matter of the + setting in Video->Filter->Postprocessing. Now this specifies the + default setting for new videos. If checked, all new videos you open + will have the option Video->Filter->Postprocessing enabled but you + [b]can[/b] disable it if you want. Previously this wasn't possible. + I think this behavior is more consistent. + * Almost all options in menus can have a shortcut. + * Now the maximum value for volume is 100 instead of 99. + * Recent files menu: now if the list is empty the submenu won't appear. + You can also set the max. number of items in the list to 0 in + Preferences->Interface. + * Compilation time has been reduced. + +[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 <goondy@free.fr> + * 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 <factor> + 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 <empty> item if +the menu is empty. + +* Added a button to mute. And two nice icons borrowed from kplayer... + +[img]http://www.uploadfile.info/uploads/ac23679650.jpg[/img] |
