XTP v0.3a
Added 2022-05-31 21:21:38 +0000 UTCThis is an experimental ALPHA release.
This version removes the dependency so many of you have had trouble with. The video decoder/renderer backend.
It has been replaced by your system decoder/renderer. So windows = DirectShow, Linux can be GStreamer (maybe others, I'm not sure).
I did this to hopefully reduce playback issues and give the user more control over the overall renderer.
Launching this release will only change your version number in the settings. So you should be able to use older versions if you have issues.
On windows you can install a codec package such as K-Lite or LAV. I've personally only tested K-Lite but I hear good things about LAV with MadVR. You may already have these setup on your system. If not, this version WILL NOT PLAY SOME VIDEOS until you install the codecs.
Mac has been left out of this release because I'm having trouble with generating thumbnails. It just fails on my MacOS VM. If anyone wants to test it on a real machine, send me a DM. I believe there's a way to make mac use GStreamer instead of AVPlayer but I've not figured that out.
The thumbnail generator is still a little buggy in general no matter the OS.
Known issues:
- The full screen overlay is not there until I figure out how to overlay the Qt Widget
- The thumb process may hang and error out until restarting the app.
