PPlayer.org opened

Hey there,

as somebody may have seen, the redirections now points to www.pplayer.org.
This page is the new home of PPlayer and any new news, updates etc will be released there.
The Wiki – now for the first time called “FAQs” is available here but soon on (faqs.pplayer.org).
PPlayer is now downloadable with the latest version here (later download.pplayer.org).
The board is open for everyone – the bug/feature-tracker will be found there – as some other discussion forums.
I’m focusing on putting every feature (wiki, bugtracker, featuretracker etc.., cvs, blog) on this one page.

So we’ll see us on www.pplayer.org

Good bye

PPlayer 0.9.5 beta released

Warning! Some mayor bugfixes incoming
Due to the fact that soo many people helped me developing this version I was able to fix more bugs than in any other version. So thanks to everybody contributing PPlayer! Stay tuned
For those who think “uhm yeah I want to help developing PPlayer too” the new version has a fitting plugin for you.
Its called BugReport and actually carries a list of links to the Tracker of PPlayer @ Sourceforge.

But the most important new feature is the PluginSystem. Its introduced in this version and ready for testing.
Screenshot:

As you can see it comes with a list showing the plugins available and giving some information about them.
Doubleclicking a plugin will display more detailed information in the edit below.
Checking/Unchecking a plugin will enable or disable. Plugins will automatically be downloaded if they don’t exist.

I said that I fixed many bugs in this new version. Here’s a list of them:

1. Links writeable on SongView-Tab
   The user was able to change the links. That wasn’t intended to be possible.
2. Chinese OS error
3. Playlist scrolling (not approved)
4. SongInfodisplay showing strange timeinfo
5. PPlayer playing next song but showing info of last song
6. Smoother startup due to saving some inputs from PHP-Backend
7. Readded “Offline”- Msg for SongView

The links will direct you to the bug-tracker of Sourceforge for detailed information.

At the end of the list of changes I want to announce the I modified the time requiered before a song rating is increased and its “heard” that means its counted in the statistic.
In earlier it needed 50% of the time played. Now its 83,33%.

Note: This version is not available through the Updater because its still flagged as beta. Its working but not stable. I recommend using this version due to the significant bugfixes.

Have fun,
Pascal
