XTPlayer v0.452b

Hey, this one has been in the oven for a while. I kept taking it out and messing with it and putting it back in increasing the cook time. I also needed to get my build system setup again after moving PCs

It wont look like there's much here as allot of the stuff I started I didn't finish. Its also been along time since I had a release so allot of work has been forgotten sparsely documented in git commits.

I spent a good amount of time attempting to fix a thumb generation issue on linux (maybe on MAC?) but could not crack it. So you will probably experience a frustratingly amount of crashes if you dont already have your thumbs generated on startup. Sorry, if you have any clues let me know. It has to do with gstreamer and segfaults. I will continue to work on this when I have time. Windows build doesnt seem to have this issue for me.

Which brings me to my next announcement. XTPlayer and XTEngine is now opensource!

XTEngine is ideally the guts of the application and built as an external library. XTPlayer is ideally the QtWidget front end. Since I separated these out way down the line in development, the separation isn't the cleanest.

L Boutin ha been kind enough to post his flake for specific package managers in linux. If you dont know what that is then welcome to the club. Here it is if you have any interest and shoutout to L Boutin! Thanks!

I don't know if this will be maintained with the newest version but I would like to post this here for anyone who may want it.

This release contains a new appimage that hopefully is somewhat usable for linux users. It's had limited testing so let me know if it works for you. It now includes gstreamer used to build with so its a chonky boy. There is also a. arm build (aarch64) for use on some more powerful SBCs. This testing is even more limited as I spent all my time trying to fix the thumb generation....

Change log:

IMPORTANT for users of my firmware: This version of XTP requires my latest firmware (v0.371b) to validate the connection to the device. You can also disable validation in the system tab of XTP to work around this requirement.

• Improved random motion on channels without scripts. This should be more random and not lean to one side as much. I removed the multiplier value as it was just causing issues. Its now as random as a computer can be.

• Adding offset update to web and minor tweak to ran motion

• Adding custom tcode commands/actions for sending to the firmware from XTP.

• Adding standard commands to respond to Tempests button box.

• Add global offset state to media settings dialog in XTP

• Add media settings to player controls

• Made alt scripts number show green if any exist

• Update documentation for help building the application.

• Fix issue in linux where navigating to the thumb/media in the explorer would fail.

• Fix issue with media settings window causing the system to become unresponsive

• Rewrite the device connection to handle input from the device.

  XTP Web specific

• Improved some web layout on context menu and modal

• Added buttons to help with adjusting ranges in XTP web

• Added profile selector to XTP web

• Rewrite the device connection to handle input from the device.

  Probably more little things I forgot to document.
