- 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
- (elf@frogger.rules.pl) Additional programming was made
- by Przemyslaw Gruchala.
-
- Changes in this release
- ------------------------
- - Completly new, much faster asyncio functions.
- - Linux (PPC and x86) version available
- - While compiling Linux version, I have found 2 small bugs, caused
- Frogger to crash (one in video decoder, second in asyncio routines).
- - A lot of small optimizations in mpeg-2 video decoder. Some of them
- also affects mpeg-1 decoder.
- - GUI on fullscreen available (RMB to show/hide).
- - Changed the way seeking is handled. Now after the slider is released,
- Frogger starts to play movie (no more need to press play button again).
- Also seeking has been improved a lot, and is now much faster.
- - P96 display does not worked correctly with PUBSCREEN option. Fixed.
- - DISPLAY P96 can now be used also with SCREEN option. No FULLSCREEN
- with P96 available (yet).
- - Fixed bug in psx async code (wos version), which could lead to deadlock
- at exit.
- - WOS version now handles properly realtive paths (like /file.mpeg).
- - Added .m2v to asl pattern.
- - Fixed psx audio decoder, to handle both 8 and 4 bit ADPCM samples.
- Also fixed bug, which could lead to crash at end of psx movie when
- audio was enabled.
- - Optimized XA (PSX audio decoder), and also changed the way
- audio is send to AHI. PSX movie playback with audio is now
- smooth and fast.
- - Added 25fps mode to PSX movie decoder. This fixes problems
- with some movies, where audio was not played continously.
- - minor optimizations in psx movie decoder.
- - PSX CD->HD copier now asks only for destination directory,
- file name is the same as on PSX cd. It also now remembers paths.
- - a lot of small optimizations in mpeg-1 video decoder. minor speed
- increase.
- - Frogger can now handle mpegs which contains sequences with different
- resolutions.
- - Seeking in XA audio files was broken. Fixed.
- - LOOP option now works in psx movies and audio.
- - NOVIDEO in mpeg video files now works as supposed - only audio
- is played.
- - Fixed small bug in psx cd->hd copier. This one was causing copier to
- work slower and slower. now it copies data with the same speed, no
- metter how many data has been already copied.
- - Completly new mpeg audio decoding routines. A bit faster.
- - Much improved audio-video synchronization.
- - 68k version now decodes mpeg audio via mpega.library. Quality is set
- to lowest possible values, to gain maximum possible speed. If there
- will be any interest, I can add switches to control audio quality.
- - Added Tomasz Siewiera to the Thanks (tm) list. Happy now? ;)
- - 68k version AGA display has been updated. Display is now centered
- and grey display works. The bad news is, that now 68k uses the same
- c2p (C implementation), which is probably much slower that previous
- one.
- - new parametters: STARTFROM, STOPAT, SMREQ, DEPTH, USEMOLODY, USEDELFINA.
- - removed parametters: AUDIO8, FORCESTEREO.
- - Frogger can now use melody card for mpeg audio decoding. Not tested
- due to lack of hardware.
- - Frogger now uses BestModeID() to find what screen should be opened.
- SMREQ option can be used to get ASL requester, like in previous version.
- - Fixed this damn bug in 68k version, which caused Frogger to open
- CLI output when Frogger was started from icon.
