Hi folks,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've just committed one of our largest (if not the largest) chunks of
|
||
|
|
code yet. It is a complete rewrite of the way media works in OpenLP. You
|
||
|
|
should not see any noticeable difference from your perspective as the
|
||
|
|
user at the moment, but this change gives us the ability to use various
|
||
|
|
media "engines" to play videos and audio other than the ones built into
|
||
|
|
your platform.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instance, one of the engines we are working on at the moment is VLC.
|
||
|
|
VLC is the dominant media player, and being able to use VLC as a video
|
||
|
|
player means that OpenLP should be able to play any video that VLC can
|
||
|
|
play. However, this is not yet implemented, we'll let you know when it
|
||
|
|
is.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the nature and the size of this change, we'd really like as many
|
||
|
|
people as possible to test it out for us, and make sure it is bug-free.
|
||
|
|
You'll need to download tonight's nightly build (see the download page),
|
||
|
|
and make sure to backup your OpenLP data and keep the installer for your
|
||
|
|
previous version of OpenLP close at hand. Don't install this on your
|
||
|
|
church computer!
