Oldplay 1.10

[Micket]

I was originally hoping to have time to update UADE for this release, but it's quite a bit of work to use it so i'm not going to hold back these updates any longer
EDIT: Bah! you guys are to demanding! http://www.micket.com/oldplay.zip

Made a new theme;

VERSION 1.10
* Improved plugin priority list (will skip to next plugin if song can't be
played with the current one, until it works or all fails)
* Added another name suggestion for new saving new playlists, same as dirname
as well as increased the upper limit for NEW: plalistXX.opl to *many*
* Minor graphical things;
Some linespacing (1 px in browser and 2 in infobox)
Increased range of equalizer (not sure why Sasq intentionally limited it)
so it reaches the top of it's box now.[cut]
* Changed behaviour for directories that dont fit in browser views title
as well as adding zipped dir's in there.
* Added start dir in config file. Usage; DIR=../music or DIR=/mnt/sd/music
* Made a new default theme
* Made volume increase less at lowest volumes.
* Very basic support for zipped m3u's for kss, hes, ay.
If file is named FooBar.kss then m3u must be named FooBar.m3u just as
unzipped files would be. Naturally they have to be in the same zip (and dir in zip).
* Added (fast) seeking in CBR MP3 and MP2. Still a small lag due to old buffers
already filled that you'll probably have to live with.
In VBR songs the accuracy is expected to be way off.
* Calculating track length for VBR MP3's using the Xing header.
* Added support for mono in MP3 and MP2.
* And as usual some various bugfixes hardly worth mentioning

On my TODO i currently got;
Formats:
* Update/Redo UADE
* GSF
* PSF
* xmp (if better then modplug?)
* Midi
* Lossless formats

Other:
* Database for adplug
* Zipped dualfiles (like smpl.*)
* Help menu (not sure where to place it though.. or what button to activate it with)[/cut]

This is a very cool music player - great work. I only just got around to installing the last version though! Been listening to old game music from the Atari 800. Also plays mp3s and oggs nicely.

Nice to see more updates.

Thanks,

Mark

P.S. Minor bug report: Think SAP library needs updating - sampled ones are not recognised.

That's currently played by Game_Music_Emu
http://slack.net/~ant/libs/audio.html#Game_Music_Emu
which i already got at the latest version.
Unless GME supports it, OldPlay won't. If you could find songs not working in oldplay, but works in any of those listed programs that use GME, then i can (hopefully) fix it.

Nice one, i'll catch you on irc for that fast seeking code

 

[PokeParadox]

Yay another new version! Glad you have more formats in the TODO list too ^_^

This will be really great once I have my 60GB data tank setup

That's what I needed, thanks! Can you add autorepeat for seeking? Seeking to the middle of a 2h dj set in 10sec intervals takes quite a while, you know (and ~300 stick presses).
48kHz mp3s play correctly too, this will be my main player now.

Done. Added autorepeat as well as scaling up the seek length for larger files (only if length is detected)
I made a linear increase from 5 minutes = 10 sec, 60 min = 30 sec,
With a minimum at 10 sec.
I just updated the zip so you can go ahead and download again.

Works fine. Thanks again!

FLAC proved to be somewhat easy to add

Here is a test for the next release (no tags are present, but all flac's should work correctly and seeking is present)

If you can find any songs that doesn't work let me know (and bring some details, such as channels, sample rate, block size etc.)

Thanks for this, its what I've been waiting for on my GP2X.

A decent music player that looks and sounds great.

I think this is by far the the best player now on the GP2X, well done
