MPXplay 1.65 (Announce)

Probably almost are users of this forum are alerady aware avout it however - Attila Padar released a new version of his MXPlayer.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mpxplay v1.65 (all console versions) is released on http://mpxplay.sourceforge.net

diffs between v1.65 and v1.64
-modifications/new:
-FFmpeg version (Win32):
-added DVB (audio) playing (can be open/control from FTP-connections (Ctrl-'F') as a virtual drive)
-added DVBEPGCtrl, AudioLanguage and PreferAudios options to mpxplay.ini
-updated FFmpeg library from 4.2.1 to 4.3.1
-updated/corrected file extension list (displayed in the directory broswer)
-corrected auto MPEG-TS program change at multiplexed streams
-added SoundcardCfg option to mpxplay.ini (equals to -scc option)
-spectrum analyzer size changes, if horizontal resolution changes (buttons are always on the right side, analyzer fills the space)
-Win32: program partially can react to console window size changes (maybe under the latest Win10 only)
-DOS: added new PCI ids to Intel HDA soundcard driver (latest Intel and AMD codecs)
-bugfixes/modifications/general:
-ICEcast data download (data without eol), better eof detection, better progress indicator
-window close of file handler dialogs (eg. copy/move/view) (possible crash)
-single file info displaying (F3 key)
-MP4 metadata tag editing (F4 key) (crash after saving tags)
-possible buffer overflow (crash) at directory/filename reading
-extM3U load/save without artist&title
-workaround at saving and restoring huge playlist at fast program restart (to not open the new instance with empty lists, using the previous status instead)
-http stream record (alt-F5) with CUE listfile creation: more precise index positions at VBR streams
-http: chunked data handling (false eof)

MPXplay 1.65

The MPXPlay`s Opus decoder v1.60.3 (October 2014) does not support all OGG files.
Does anyone know a more complete decoder?

Decoder implemented in some DOS program? No. But the library itself exist in later version than 1.60.3
I think that this is a ideal bugreport (or feature request) for MPXplay author to implement some later version of this decoder.
It is not DOS specific code so Attila could to do it.
(Don't forget to provide a example of some not working audio file)

I come here rarely, so rather you should drop the bug reports on my sf.net page... :-)

I've assembled a WinXp environment for testing, and I've built the latest MMC x86 (32-bit) version with WinXP support.
Some bugs are possible (some minor functions are missing or different under XP) and the video output is not so nice (tearing), but basically it works.

I'll check the FFmpeg console version too.

--------------------------------------------------------
diffs between v1.66 and v1.65
-modifications/new:
-FFmpeg version (Win32):
-updated FFmpeg library from 4.3.1 to 4.4.0
-corrected WinXp support (FFmpeg is built without w32threads)
-demultiplexing error and event handling (at stop, eof) (ffmpdemux.c, in_ffmpg.c)
-crash if stream has not found in the file (ffmpstrm.c)
-DVB: durations of programs if database is not up to date (no valid events) (using fix/fake 1 sec) (drv_dtv.c)
-Win32: added https protocol support (only simple A/V streams, not YT) (note: SSL support requires OpenSSL DLLs) (drv_http.c, tcpcommon.c)
-Win32: added support for OpenSSL 1.1.x DLLs (libssl-1_1[-x64].dll) besides the old OpenSSL 1.0.x DLLs (ssleay32.dll) (tcpcommon.c, dll_load.c)
-Win32: trying to play https streams as simple http, if https access fails (eg: no OpenSSL dlls) (drv_http.c)
-next file selection (ctrl-enter) is saved and restored by mpxtabs.ini (startup.c, mpxplay.c, playlist.c)
-startup has a more precise play-status restoring (after exit from stop mode) (mpxplay.c)
-http/dvb: streams are not (re)open at program (re)start or at skip in pause/stop mode (just selected as new/next file) (mpxplay.c, diskdriv.c, drv_dtv.c, drv_http.c)
-DOS: added new PCI ids to Intel HDA soundcard driver (Intel CometLake/Alderlake chips) (sc_inthd.c)
-bugfixes/modifications/general:
-OGG: corrected metadata reading at large contents (eg: album art picture), editing of such OGG files is rejected (unsupported yet) (in_ogg.c, tagging.c)
-OGG/Vorbis: close (dealloc) of incorrect streams (info.c, sharbook.c)
-APE: decoder fixes to avoid crash at some files (unbitnew.c)
-MKV: automatically ignore/skip unknown stream formats (select/play the supported one) at multiply audio streams (ff_mkv.c)
-CDW (CD-A): added 10 sec timeout for read (to not drop read too early at CD spin up), better directory (CDW filelist) loading at FFmpeg, improved play stability (drv_cd.c)
-more stable commander dialogs (eg: F3 + skip + ESC + playstart) (diskfile.c)
-index editing (F4): additional range check (limit range to start of prev, end of next index entries) (fileinfo.c)
-empty config strings loading (not reloading default values after clearing string-type config fields) (control.c)
-buffer block size init at playing (starting with non enter key) (mpxinbuf.c)
-ftp[es]: improved functionality and stability (drv_ftp.c, tcpcommon.c, dll_load.c)
-termination (with ESC) of textfile load and (ssl) connection retry (diskdriv.c, tcpcommon.c)
-Win32: network name handling (slow program start at long volume name(s), if network drive became disconnected) (loaddir.c)
-Win32: removed high priority process wait (waiting for decoder prebuffer) from commander functions (can cause more problems than solves) (diskfile.c)
