AmigaAMP 3.15 (OS4-NATIVE) released

Hi all, there's a new version. Once again a maintenance release: Bug fixes and internal code cleanup:

- Fixed disabled string gadgets in info window
- Unlock pubscreen when iconified
- Fixed AREXX open/add commands to work with playlists
- Changed playlist loading code to always accept headerless playlists when their extension is (.pls|.m3u|.playlist)
- Completely revised charset conversion routines resulting in mucht better UTF8 support
- Revised plain M3U playlist loading, now also works via HTTP
- Fixed time display of long tracks in skinned playlist window, added time display to reaction playlist window
- Added automatic reconnect for shoutcast streaming if connection was lost


Please note that M4A-DASH files directly recorded from youtube streams can not be played! However, they can be converted into regular M4A files using ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i Downloaded_File.m4a -vcodec copy -acodec copy Playable_File.m4a

Have fun!

Thanks for the update to probably my most used Amiga program since getting my original BlizzardPPC card back in the 90's.

All the little fixes add up and help to make AmigaAMP an excellent Music Player and have helped me feel I made good use out of my little sam440ep.

@ Thomas
Thanks i use it every day. It is my favorit music player

@tomsoniq

Thank you very much for the best amiga music player there is

And here's the link to the download site

@tomsoniq

many thanks for the update

@Thomas

Thanks man. Nice the new icons.

Note: in the Plugins directory there is a useless icon "Data.info"

Also, what about calling the binary "AmigaAmp" instead of "AmigaAmp3" ?

@ Thomas

Thank you really much for this piece of software. It makes my SAM and AmigaOS more valuable. I have used AmigaAmp3 every day before my SAM went on holiday in Italy. And will use it every day when he return.

@tomsoniq


Excellent - thanks for this release. I am already getting a lot of use out of this version - it may even replace TuneNet for me permanently!

Catcha,

Thanks for the update :) My main mp3 player/streamer

Cool

Through amiupdate didn't find it for pegasos2, so i had to do it manualy as usual.

AmigaAmp is great, but my music collection is all in OGG Vorbis form... so I'm limited to Tunenet (which is excellent, but lacks some features I could use). I hope other formats support gets added at some point!
Still good to see an update though, so thanks!

@Spirantho

Fascinating that noone cares to read the readme

Quote:

If your ogg files don't work they seem to be in a format AmigaAmp can't understand.

So you can still install and try the TuneOgg Plugin or ask Thomas kindly to support your strange files

@kas1e
Sorry, it's not in the AmiUpdate database yet. I usually release it on the web site first and see if some serious bug reports come in. If all went well then I'll put it on AmiUpdate and later also on OS4Deopt.

@spirantho
Normally ogg files should work right out of the box. If they don't then there's either something strange with them or it's a bug in AmigaAMP that it can't detect them. Can you send me one of the non working files, please?

No, just means I haven't checked in too long. :)
I've only just got my X1000 set up at work so obviously I was confusing it with an old version. Sorry!

(But great! Hurrah! :) )

There's a bug with showing FLAC information, the artist/title/album fields bleed in from the previous track. So then you get stuff like <TITLE><PART OF PREVIOUS TITLE LONGER THAN THE CURRENT ONE>

Oh, easy to reproduce, if you have the files for it.

My favourite music player.

@Thematic Oops, I'll check that and fix it! :)

Hi guys, has anyone tried to stream a shoutcast pls AAC file. For me it looks like it loads but then just stops. MP3 streams are fine.

Thanks

@BandiT

Same here, just tried, loads but then locks everything up I have to reboot but like you mp3 works fine.

Ogg Vorbis and AAC are local file only, I don't think the documentation claims otherwise.
