If you right click on any toolbar you'll get a menu - with options to edit the toolbars (including the control bars). - That will show a new dialog, with two list. On the left you'll see - all available actions (mainly buttons, but also volume or seek sliders) - and on the right the current actions. - The left and right buttons allow to move actions from one list to the - other. The up and down buttons move the selected action in the current - actions' list. - The "add separator" button allows to add more separators. - The "defaults" button removes all your changes in the current actions' - list and sets the default actions for the toolbar. - -(2012-03-08) - * Use QtSingleApplication instead of the old client/server code to use a - single instance and communication with other instances. - * Possibility (smplayer.pro) to disable the build of some parts of the - code (QtSingleApplication, Youtube support, Find subtitles and - video preview). - * Fix: the buttons to select the color of the subtiles in preferences -> - subtitles may not change the background color with some styles.

Implemented by - Neo254 <manuel.ohrndorf@gmx.net> - http://smplayer.berlios.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=423#p423 - - -[b]Version 0.6.9[/b]: - -(2010-02-18) - * New option for smplayer.ini: relative_seeking (section [gui]). If true - seeking (with the time slider) will be done by using a percentage. If false - seeking will be done using an absolute time. The default value for this - option is true. - -(2010-02-09) - * Fix: using now -af channels to select the left or right audio channel, as - it seems the -stereo option in mplayer doesn't work as expected. - Should fix bug #1962349. - -(2010-02-02) - * Added a new action to toggle deinterlacing (assigned to key D). It just - runs the mplayer slave command "step_property deinterlace". It toggles - deinterlacing on/off. Requires the yadif or kerndeint filters. - Note: when using this action, the deinterlace menu is not updated. - -(2010-02-01) - * Added an option (Options -> Statusbar) to display the video resolution and - fps in the statusbar. - * For consistency, moved the option to show the frame counter to the submenu - Options -> Statusbar. (Which by the way required to remove the old and ugly - implementation and create a new one) - -(2010-01-28) - * (Experimental) Now the slider seeks again by percentage instead of time, but - this time the percentage uses fractions so it should be as accurate as - before, and makes seeking work better when the length reported by mplayer is - wrong. - -(2010-01-20) - * Now the command line options -close-at-end and -no-close-at-end don't - modify the preference's option "close when finished playback". - * Now the command line options -fullscreen and -no-fullscreen don't - modify the preference's option "start videos in fullscreen". - -(2010-01-15) - * (Linux) Use pulse as default audio output instead of alsa, as alsa is - causing problems (at least) in Ubuntu 9.10 when seeking on a video (image - freezes). - -(2010-01-10) - * Fix: the "unicode" encoding for subtitles works now on Windows. - -(2009-12-13) - * Added the possibility to mark an A-B section. When the A-B section has been - selected only that section will be played. If the option Play->Repeat is - enabled, the A-B section will be repeated. - A new submenu "A-B section" has been added to the "Play" menu, with the - following options: - - set A marker - - set B marker - - clear A-B markers - - repeat - This is exactly how it works: - - the "set A marker" option allows to mark the beginning of the section. - If the B marker has previously been set, the file will be restarted so - the change can take effect. - - the "set B marker" option allows to mark the end of the section. - If the A marker has previously been set, the file will be restarted so - the change can take effect. - - the "clear A-B markers" option deletes the A and B markers and restarts - the playback so the change can take effect. If the A and B markers - weren't set, this option does nothing. - - if the "repeat" option is enabled, the A-B section will played back once - and again (If no A-B section is set, the whole file will be repeated). - If the "repeat" option is not enabled, when the playback gets to the B - marker, the file will be stopped. - - Notice: as a side effect, when an A-B section has been set, any action which - requires to restart mplayer, will start the playback at the A marker and not - at the point it was previously! - -(2009-11-26) - * Added icons for the buttons in the find subtitles window. - -(2009-11-19) - * Added the new option "Save SMPlayer log to file" in Preferences -> Advanced - -> Logs. If the option is checked, the smplayer logs will be saved to - to a file named smplayer_log.txt in the smplayer config file (in linux - $HOME/.config/smplayer/). - -(2009-11-06) - * Pass the text for the slave command osd_show_text in utf8. Should fix - bug #2854097 (incorrect charset in OSD texts). - Fix based on a patch by c0rnholio - (https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=913575&aid=2893306&group_id=185512) - -(2009-10-26) - * Added a new option for smplayer.ini: fast_load_sub - If true (the default) loading an external subtitle will be fast - because it will be done by using a slave command (which is nice but it - has the problem that smplayer may restore the wrong subtitle after a - restart of the video). If false, the subtitle will be loaded by - restarting mplayer (which is a little bit slower but doesn't have the - mentioned problem). - -(2009-10-20) - * Bugfix: pad the hash for opensubtitles with zeroes. This bug caused that - sometimes smplayer couldn't find any subtitles for a given file. - -(2009-10-03) - * Applied patch smplayer-3270-mandriva-mplayer-version.patch by Anssi Hannula - (http://sourceforge.net/users/anssih/). Makes SMPlayer detect the mplayer - version strings in Mandriva. - -(2009-09-14) - * New action "show_filename" (assigned to Shift+I). It displays the filename - in the OSD. - -(2009-09-13) - * Don't pass to mplayer any audio filter (-af ...) when using -afm hwac3. - -(2009-09-09) - * (Streams) Added support to 'StreamTitle' without 'StreamUrl' - -(2009-09-04) - * Applied patch mousewheel_seekalt_checkbox_r3257.patch by Steven Eastland - (grassmonk at users.sourceforge.net). It adds the possibility to reverse - the direction of seeking with the mouse wheel. - -(2009-08-31) - * Added the checkbox "Disable video filters when using vdpau" in Preferences -> - General -> Video. - -(2009-08-30) - * (Linux) New option for smplayer.ini: disable_video_filters_with_vdpau. If - set to true /the default) all video filters will be disabled when using - the vdpau vo. - -(2009-08-16) - * All video filters in the Video menu will be shown disabled if using vdpau. - -(2009-08-12) - * Bugfix: some of the items in the the recents menu may be lost. - -(2009-07-31) - * The default cache for local files is 0. - * New option for smplayer.ini: osd_delay. It specifies the delay in - milliseconds to show the OSD (default 2200). - -(2009-07-30) - * If using vdpau, don't pass any video filter to mplayer (instead of passing - them and then clear them with -vf-clr) - - -[b]Version 0.6.8[/b]: - -(2009-07-14) - * Check for new channels first in ~/.mplayer/channels.conf.ter. 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 mgi <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] |
