sfeMovie (video & audio playback library with many codecs)

[JohnGreek]

well... entering "exit" doesn't exit the cmd but it seems it restarts it, shows again the text like when i first entered the command make. The wtf is when i enter "exit" 4 times it returns back to msys cmd... it's hilarious

[Ceylo]

Do you have only one "make" or "make.exe" executable reachable from your PATH?

[JohnGreek]

If we don't count mingw32-make.exe only one

[Ceylo]

Ok… then the only solution I'm aware of is doing a clean install of MinGW bundled with MSYS.

[JohnGreek]

i see.. i will try this and post back the results.
Although the version i used make is fresh, i installed MinGW+MSYS just for the lib, but it could also be a bad installation.
Thx

Hey good news on the project!

- Its website has moved to http://sfemovie.yalir.org/
- There is also now a freshly created forum hosted on it, at http://sfemovie.yalir.org/forum for any question, suggestion or debate you may have
- The website now provides automatically updated binaries for the latest version from Git, so if you want to use the latest version of sfeMovie without the annoyance of compiling it, whatever your OS, there is it ! http://sfemovie.yalir.org/latest/downloads.php

A few words on features too:
- FFmpeg has been updated to version 2.2.2
- In case of media files with several audio streams, it's now possible to select the one that you want to use
- apart from that it's mainly (a huge) internal cleaning and bug fixes

Recently 2 developers (namely feliwir and bluekirby0) have been participating and working on subtitles support and native build of FFmpeg on Windows through Visual Studio (yes get rid of MinGW!). These are huge improvements that may come into sfeMovie and I invite you to join me in cheering them up because these are really hard tasks

On my side I've been mainly working on getting continuous integration working, which will help us at finding bugs faster, and which now gives you the up-to-date prebuilt binaries Next weeks will be dedicated to seeking support.

As always, if you're willing to help in any way, you're welcome, be it for development, testing or encouraging the current developers!

Sorry about my conspicuous absence just as I started getting involved with things. I had hoped this semester would be as easy as my previous one and so I would have plenty of time to work on side projects. Unfortunately, this was not the case. I keep intending to get a little bit worked on here and there but life keeps getting in the way.

Depending on familial obligations I may or may not have time to get some work done over the holidays.

[Ceylo]

Good to here from you After two months I thought you got lost into the limbo

And of course personal stuff first!

[Ceylo]

I'm pleased to announce the support of bitmap subtitles!
In addition to stream selection, this is one of the first new major features since v1.0. It is also the first major feature brought thanks to the contributions of feliwir.

What?! Wait, no! It's not merged yet. It can be tested on the 6_Seeking branch though.  Still a few small bugs to fix.
