Short
------
Frogger is the ultimate MPEG video player, with MPEG-2 layer support.
Frogger was oryginally relased by Miloslaw Smyk (thorgal@wfmh.org.pl),
recently, the development has been taken over by Sebasian Jedruszkiewicz
(bjsebo@jota.wi.tuniv.szczecin.pl) Additional programming was made
by Przemyslaw Gruchala.
Please refer to guide inside archive for more info.
Changes in this release:
- Audio is now also readed by asyncio routines, which means that
ASYNCIO is forced to true when audio is detected or forced.
Also buffer size is set to 256000 when audio decoding is used.
User can force it to bigger size, but smaller size will be ignored.
- Changed FROCEMONO to FORCESTEREO. Mono is used by default, because
it is much faster, and gaves smooth playback even on high bitrated
mpegs.
- Added BGR24 pixel format in cgx fullscreen mode.
- Fixed audio problem: on some mpegs audio was not played, even if
there was valid audio track. now it should be ok.
- Fixed again audio detecting routine, now audio should be detected
correct in every mpeg. If not - contact me ASAP.
- Added BGR16PC and BGR24 pixel formats. Some pixel formats are available
only in PPC version, I will make conversion routines for every CPU, and every
pixel format one day...
- Fixed problems with opening new mpeg (menu->Open item).
- GUI!!! Only in windowed mode, but it is a good start ;)
- fixed problems with multiple video sequences.
- some other small changes and bug fixes.
- removed fps 0 feature.
- added RGB15 pixel format.
- fixed frame skipping. Frogger skipped too many frames - ok my fault.
Now should be ok.
- optimized vlayer again. result? dead2intro.mpg (176x112 allframes):
84,5 fps, previous version: 70fps. Not bad, huh?
- applied the same changes to cgx fullscreen and: 84 vs 78 (in 256 colors
mode).
- optimized grey output in 8bpp fullscreen mode. (107 fps on the above
mentioned mpg).
- next day: even faster grey output. 116 vs 107 (still the same mpg).
Added this feature to AGA display as well as cgfx 8bpp display.
- fixed bug, which caused crash on exit in PPC version.
- fixed slider functions, It now works ok (you can seek to any position you want).
but there are other problems I will fix later.
- Added FBlit support (Przemyslaw Gruchala).
- Added MODEBYNAME parameter. Can be used for specifying modeid by name.
Sometimes fails to work (Przemyslaw Gruchala).
- fixed version string as requested by some people. also added version string
to Frogger.guide.
