MediaCoder 0.5.0 pre-release is out for testing

Post by stanley » Sun Jun 25, 2006 2:45 am

After nearly one month's effort, the new version finally comes to work. A big part of the codes have been re-written (many of them may not be noticable from the interface), so it will be quite necessary to have a longer testing phase before it can be released for all users. So I put out the installer of the new version for people who are interested to test. So please, give me feedback if you found problems.
I will release a document on plug-in development in later time.
In addition, I've versioned the next release as 0.5 rather than 0.4 to indicate the big changes in it.

The 0.5.0 pre-release can be downloaded at the download page.

Have you considered making MediaCoder a xulrunner app.


I do have a suggestion for you options panel. Can you place the textbox under the label, but invisible by default and only make the textbox visible when the label is selected.

Thanks Stanley for this pre-release.

Do you think you can fix the bug that prevents the video settings to be saved?


Regards,

I did consider xulrunner and I would like to do so. Actually one of my milestone is to make MediaCoder a cross-platform software. But I haven't mastered the key to write a xulrunner app up now. :lol:

EDIT: I think I've just found a good starting point: http://xulmusic.gotdns.org/about.php

The code for loading and saving settings have been totally re-written. You can have a try.

Songbird is another application to keep an eye on. The source code is a bit out of date (they now use MPlayer).

Tried pre3 (build 1996) today. Most settings save properly, except for the command line "extra video filter options" in the Video Filters tab and also the "extra mencoder options" under the Overall tab. When I try to type "eq2=1:1:0:1.4:1:1:1:1" it refuses to apply everything behind the "=" sign.

PMP AVC works like a charm btw, great job on that ^_^

It's a bug, when the string contains '=' in string options, it won't be handled properly. I'll fix it soon.
