Hi all, I am very pleased to announce the release of LiVES version 2.4.2. This version is again mostly a bugfix release. Amongst other things It fixes a memory buffer issue with audio triggered video generators (which VJ Harry reported some time ago but I was unable to track down until now).
There are also some nice fixes for headless mode. In particular the -noplaywin switch now does what it says on the box and hides the playback window. This is useful if you are streaming the video output and you don't want it shown on the screen. Several real time effects got fixes or updates: beat_detector, edge, kaleidoscope, and cairo_vector_visualiser. There were also fixes to do with synchronising / locking when running audio and video effects in parallel. OSC responsiveness has now been improved, in tests it was possible to run OSC commands at up to 30Hz. In addition, the following commands are added: /audio/mute/set, /audio/mute/get, /audio/volume/set, /audio/volume/get and /clip/open/unicap. So it is now possible to open a unicap device (e.g. webcam) via OSC. Related to this, webcams can now be opened during playback. Support for firewire devices (dvgrab) was refactored and a crash bug there was fixed. On the gui side, a regression causing extra buttons in the progress dialog were removed, Also a bug in gtk+ broke radio menu buttons in the Clips menu, so this has been rewritten using check menu buttons. Finally the stock button code has been cleaned up. If you like having icons in buttons this can be enabled from Preferences under the GUI tab. Here is the full Changelog: Fix crash after recording with pulseaudio external audio. Fix possible crash when converting from YUV420 to UYVY / YUYV. Fix memory issue in audio triggered video generators. Fix buttons issue in the progress dialog (regression). Fix occasional hang in shutdown via OSC. Minor fixes for headless (nogui, noplaywin) modes. Increase size of debug output window when encoding (Regression). Fix for compiling without jack. Fix crash in mask_overlay effect. Fix some threading problems when running audio and video effects together. Improve OSC responsiveness during playback. Fixes for beat_detector, edge, vector_visualiser, and kaleidoscope plugins. Fix latency issue with pulseaudio external input. Fix for opening unicap device during playback. Work around gtk+ bug for clips menu. Implement OSC commands /audio/mute/set, /audio/mute/get, /audio/volume/set, /audio/volume/get and /clip/open/unicap. Fixes / refactoring for firewire grabbing. Re-enable button icons (via preference) and clean up stock button code.
