sidplaywx v0.20.0 is released. The sidplaywx is a GUI player for Commodore 64 SID chip tunes aiming to provide a modern & comfortable SID tune playback experience on the PC.
sidplaywx Changelog:
[NEW] MPRIS Media Control support on Linux
You can now control playback directly from your desktop environment (lock screen, widgets....) and hardware media keys.
A new Preferences toggle allows disabling this feature (default enabled).
The following MPRIS actions are supported: Play, Pause, PlayPause, Stop, Next, Previous, Quit, OpenUri.
The playback status and tune metadata are reported as well.
[NEW] DAC leakage can be adjusted in the Preferences (affects the envelope and waveforms).
[NEW] DC-Blocker resistance can be adjusted in the Preferences (affects the highpass cutoff frequency of the external filter).
[NEW] Wave offset (SID 6581) can be adjusted in the Preferences (affects the volume of digi samples for SID 6581).
[NEW] Combined waveform strength can be adjusted in the Preferences (affects how harsh the SID chip sounds).
[NEW] Preferences option to allow overriding the system theme on Linux.
Known issue: theme override may not work on some desktop environments (typically Gnome works, KDE might not) in which case the behavior will be as if the "Auto" option is selected.
[IMPROVED] Voices are no longer disabled while seeking to prevent tune state corruption (edge case with some tunes).
This now makes the realtime-mode seeking slower, but correctness of the playback is of primary importance.
[IMPROVED] STIL scrolling labels were optimized (cache graphics context) which should promote smoother scrolling (in theory).
[IMPROVED?] Limit update checker timeout to 5 seconds.
[FIXED] Changed song indication from "Copyright" to "Released" (in accordance with the HVSC.txt section 3-3).
[FIXED] Fixed some jankiness related to playback navigation introduced in the previous version.
[FIXED] Fixed misc. minor visual UI jankiness, mostly related to the dark theme.
Default the MSW theme option to "Auto", remove "experimental" labeling.
Updated to libsidplayfp v3.1.1 & libresidfp v1.2.2.
