What's new in FFSoX Player 0.6.1

Mar 18, 2013
  • Provided a switch to enable the "steep filter" for the SoX resampler.
  • Disabled editing all drop down boxes except "replay gain mode" and "phase response" for the SoX resampler.
  • Accepted input for the "replay gain mode" is 0..100.
  • Accepted input for the "phase response" is 0..100.

New in FFSoX Player 0.6.0 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Provided the Secret Rabbit Code (SRC) resampler as an alternative to the SoX resampler.
  • Please note that the SRC resampler takes a lot of CPU compared to the SoX resampler.

New in FFSoX Player 0.5.0 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Allow for applying intermediate replay gain values between album gain (0%) and track gain (100%)
  • Rewritten and reactivated the FFmpeg adapters for "libmad.dll" and "liba52.dll".
  • Fixed a memory leak.

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.9-2 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Made it compatible with the latest FFmpeg version.
  • Requires "avutil-52.dll".

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.9 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Looking up "in_ffsox.ini" as described by "DrO" at WA forum:
  • use IPC_GETINIDIRECTORY(W) from wa_ipc.h and then append \Plugins\in_ffsox to get the correct location - that api has been around since 2.9x

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.8 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Upgraded to new SoX 14.4.0.
  • Restructured build process for the tool chain.

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.7 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • According to FFmpeg.org: FFmpeg development has gone into OVERDRIVE. As a consequence the FFSoX Player plugin wasn't compiling any longer using the latest FFmpeg versions. This release ports the FFSoX Player plugin to the latest FFmpeg API.
  • Video synchronization has been greatly improved by replacing heuristics with a call to av_opt_ptr(avcodec_get_frame_class(), frame, "best_effort_timestamp");
  • This release requires "avformat-54.dll" and "avcodec-54.dll", and is now again in line with the latest FFmpeg builds from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/shared/ (cf. installation below.)

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.6.7 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Unicode support for file and directory names.

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.6.6 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Provided the option "Force Seek" in order to allow for seeking without any test whether seeking is supported by a format or not.
  • NOTE: If checked and a particular format doesn't support seeking the behaviour is undefined.
  • Provided the option "Prefer Float" for switching on/off 32 bit floating point decoders for lossy codecs.

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.6.5 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Enables 32 bit float format for e.g. MP3, AC3 and other lossy audio codecs.
  • Enables (and requires) usage of "swscale-2.dll".

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.6.4 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Important: Requires "bumped" FFmpeg, i.e. "avformat-53.dll", "avcodec-53.dll", and "avutil-51.dll". For upgrading to the latest full FFmpeg build (cf. installation below) get the respective DDLs from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/shared/

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.6 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Support for integrated playback of EBU R128 compliant tagged and classical ReplayGain compliant tagged audio is added.
  • In order to avoid clipping during up-sampling it is now by defualt the first effect in the chain if the resulting gain is an amplification, or the last effect in the chain if the resulting gain is an attenuation.

New in FFSoX Player 0.4.5 (Mar 18, 2013)

  • Fixed mapping tags (under certain circumstances "Album Artist" where not properly mapped or could mask "Album").
