New Updates
MortPlayer now has some small, but nice, new features and several bugs were fixed.
Among others, you can drag lists with your finger ("flick scrolling" like on iPhone is possible, too), the next track can be defined without resorting the playlist, settings can be saved and restored, setting up Favorites is far more easy for the most common usage, there's a new default skin, plugins for WMA and AAC are included in installation, etc.
Only pause during a phone call still seems to cause troubles on some devices. I'm afraid I'm not albe to fix this completely, because MortPlayer (unlike WMP) can't be customized from the manufacturers to the special handlings of their devices, and what helps on one devices causes another to crash...
But still it's a definite Release Canditate. Maybe one or the other small feature will be included until the release, but priority is currently to prepare the release, which includes nasty "trifle" like writing an updated manual (which is currently about half ready)...
The new MortScript beta offers only quite small changes so far, the bigger things (like a status window displaying what's going on currently) I plan to implement after MortPlayer's finally released. But maybe esp. developers like "small" changes Include() or line numbers in error messages. And users might try whether the reworked SendKeys makes simulated key input faster and more reliable or causes trouble on their devices.
Server troubles
As you might have notices, my server's causing trouble sometimes. It seems like 512MB RAM is not enough to serve a few simple PHP pages with MySQL access (same for main pages and forum), at least with the server's configuration...
Since I'd like to avoid having to update a (virtual) root server all the time, but didn't find a hoster offering managed webservers with subversion support, in a first go the sources
(MortPlayer, MortScript, MortTools und demnächst auch MortSetup) will be moved to a specialized subversion hoster. This also has some advantages like receiving an eMail when somebody commited changes and more easy user management. However, it seems like it's not possible for users to change their password themselves.
The repositories will be available at
http://mort.svnrepository.com/svn/mort or via
https://secure2.svnrepository.com/s_mort/mort within the next few days, the existing logins will be migrated (as soon as the old server works stable enough to read them...).
This site will probably be moved to a new server during february, but so far I didn't decide to which provider... |  |  | |  | |
