mmsv2 1.1.0 and 1.0.5

Long time no update. Been very busy with university work so I havn’t had a lot of time to hack. I did manage to write a global searcher for 1.1.0 and convert some of the plugins to store information in an sqlite database. 1.0.5 has a new default theme and is about ready to get released. There is one open bug on the mailinglist that I want to fix before doing a release.

Back

So I’m back in Denmark. Niagara Falls was really something. It was especially beautiful one of the nights when they colored the sky with fireworks πŸ™‚ I also liked New York a lot. The city felt more international than American mostly because of all the different cultures living together.

New filter for MPlayer

There was some discussion on the MPlayer mailinglist about a new filter so I though I would check it out. I was in for quite a nice suprise. The filter is very effective in removing ugly artifacts from the mpeg family of codecs. The only downside is the massive CPU usage. You can try it with -vf fspp. The code is based on this paper.

new GPL quake-style FPS

Stumpled upon new FPS, Nexuiz, based on the ancient quake1 (GPL) engine but with lots of goodies added. Reminds me a lot of Quake1 and Quake3 and it generally looks promising (17 maps, 10 music tracks). Even worked on 64 bit with my Radeon 8500 using the built-in dri drivers πŸ™‚
