0.8.4.5 beta

Its going on!!
After 0.8.4 RC1 I revived the settings:
0.8.4.5 beta changes

Many new settings are available. The songview is now placed in the settings reducing memoryload.
Its easy to add new settings for me now, so I’ll do in upcoming versions!

Have fun!

Milestone release: 0.8.4 beta

“Long time ago” I introduced PPlayer Songview.
It was avaiable one day after the release but I hadn’t have enough time to announce the release on this blog.
Instead I worked on a better release.
There came many bugs within the new system released with 0.8.3..
Songs were able to be started to play within one second (and less).
Problems within the playlist and the positionbar were created…
And both are solved in the new beta.
I played around with the player and did some “hard” testing switching songs all the time.
But it worked correctly and any song got played and the right information displayed.

I also changed some things in the PlayMode-GUI.
Many people said the PlayMode-GUI isn’t easy to understand.
And yes it wasn’t.
I deleted some useless buttons and added a “Help!”-Button directing to the Wikiarcticle about the PlayMode.
Some innercode things were changed too:
Now its posible to use the keywordsearch for the autosearch (huuh? – take a look on the wiki).
Just enter a keyword like “billy II” and you should get “Billy Talents” second album “Billy Talent II”.
Autosearch will search for songs inside this album everytime a song begins.

There will come some more changes within 0.8.4 but more about them later.

Have a nice day,
Pascal

Focus: Wiki

I’d like to focus on the wiki posting a special blogpost for it.
The Wiki replaces the Online Help and includes many features like a Changelog or the ToDo-List.
I’m working on getting a suggest-list, where anybody can post suggests he wants added to PPlayer.
You’ll get information on Podcasts on the wiki too.

I’ll update the wiki with any update coming and in some months I hope it’s complete and holds many information on PPlayer, so that it’s easier to understand the features of PPlayer.

Take a look on it ;)
