1.10.3

EQ, Looping, QoL, and Performance Improvements:

• Improved performance and reliability of the audio subsystem
• Sound cue end time is now more accurate as it's logic is now calculated per sample rather than every 50 ms
• Rewrote the audio mixer to be more efficient
• The audio thread now registers itself with the Windows MMCSS to help prevent audio dropouts
• MSC and OSC drivers now use a cancellation token to allow them to be disposed of quickly and correctly
• Improved performance of the waveform graph renderer by preventing un-needed re-renders
• Autosave can now be disabled
• Improved UI performance when many cues are playing
• Audio device querying is now done asynchronously, this should speed up project file loading
• Added placeholder text to the waveform graph for when the waveform is still loading
• Fixed bug where clicking on the waveform to play from a specific time behaved incorrectly when the Start Time of the cue is non-zero
• The waveform window now accepts the normal keyboard shortcuts
• Fixed a bug where pressing the open waveform window button wouldn't always re-activate an already open window
• Added main mixer audio metering + UI
• Optimised audio resampling implementation
• Improved audio processing performance using SIMD intrinsics
• Implemented per-cue parametric EQ
• Implemented proper support for audio cue looping (fixes #9)
• Fixed bug where the local system culture caused string -> double parsing to fail; most of the code now uses the invariant culture for number parsing (fixes #26)
• QPlayer now opens the WASAPI driver by default as it offers better performance
• Updated the splash screen
• Added warning popup when attempting to exit QPlayer while cues are playing
• Exiting the main QPlayer window can now be cancelled if there are unsaved changes
• Loading a new show file now correctly stops all the running cues from the last show file
• Switching to the Wave or DirectSound audio drivers now automatically increases the audio latency to a reasonable value if it's too small
• Fixed some bugs relating to race conditions around opening the correct audio device when loading a show file or creating a new one
• Prevented a few buttons from receiving focus so that they don't inadvertently eat GO commands
• Improved tab navigation of the cue stack fields
• Fixed bug where hidden combo boxes wouldn't close
• Other bugfixes and improvements

1.9.2

So many UI Improvements:

• Added an online reference manual: https://space928.github.io/QPlayer/reference/
• Waveforms now update correctly when navigating between sound cues
• Fixed waveform rendering bug when fully zoomed in
• Added Save As
• Added Duplicate cue command
• Improved automatic cue numbering, move Cue up/down now only affects the QID of the cue being moved
• Implemented drag and drop for cue reordering
• Audio files can now be drag/dropped into any point in the cue stack
• Implemented improved text/number/timespan input control with a value spinner knob
• Added audio driver latency setting to the project settings tab
• The audio playback manager now automatically attempts to restart the audio driver in case it crashes
• Added status bar
• Various improvements to the log window
• OSC performance and reliability improvements
• Added show file converter to upgrade form old versions
• Added remote control protocol (based on OSC) which allows QPlayer to control other instances of QPlayer
• Cue colour property is now shown in the cue stack
• Fixed bug where some tooltips had very large spaces in them
• Fixed unsaved changes check, and made it more efficient
• Added exit button to file menu
• Fixed bug where space key was being consumed when editing cue names in the cue list
• Added autosave. Files are automatically backed up to the persistant data directory (in .../AppData/Roaming/QPlayer), the five latest versions of the file are stored
• Added support for receiving Midi Show Control commands from an MA lighting desk over UDP
• Added recent files menu to quickly open recently opened projects
• Implemented Pack feature which allows QPlayer projects to be saved with all their referenced media to a single directory
• Added loading progress popup
• Added more tooltips to various controls in QPlayer
• Waveforms can now be clicked to seek and start playing from the clicked location
• Replaced Halt cue property the a more comprehensive Trigger property
• QPlayer now accepts a single command line argument with the project file to open; this also allows Windows Explorer Open With QPlayer to work
• TimeSpan fields are now much more tolerant of user input, if a value can't be parsed as a time span it's instead parsed as a (decimal) number of seconds
• Cues now support waiting for another cue
• Small UI tweaks and improvements
• Many improvements to the project's internal tooling and codebase
• Various bug fixes

Full Changelog: 1.6.4...1.9.2

1.6.4

Waveforms & OSC:

• Added custom audio waveform renderer control to cues to help with trimming: (Show Tested)
  • Added In and Out point draggable markers to the waveform to make it easier to set the start time and duration of clips
  • Added transport controls to the waveform window
  • Added a playback marker to the waveform
• Fixed some bugs with the volume slider and fades
• Fixed a bug where if no fade out was specified the sound cue wouldn't respect it's duration field

• Improved mouse capturing
• Added OSC support (Receive only at the moment) (Show Tested)
  • Added OSC commands to play/stop/pause/unpause any cue in the cue stack
  • Added OSC commands to select a cue, play/stop/pause/etc the selected cue
• Refactored code to meet modern C# standards
• Upgraded project to dotnet 8 (end users will be required to install the .net 8 runtime)
• Added keyboard shortcut to create cues (ctrl+T)
• QID, name, and delay fields can now be double clicked in the cue stack to be edited
• Fixed order-of-operations bug which resulted in a workaround making the cue editor text boxes difficult to use
• Added drag-and-drop support for adding new audio cues
• Fixed Go and Stop button tooltips being too big
• Cue list header is now sticky and can been seen when scrolling down the cue list
• Many internal refactorings and fixes
