AmiFox 0.2 Release

Posted by ALB42 on 2. März 2023No Comments

Finally after 4 alpha version and 6 beta versions we (McDope, Amix and me) think AmiFox, a new browser for classic Amiga, is ready for it’s first release. This is Version 0.2 so one can see it’s still in development and many things to improve but I guess many people want to try how it works. And we can test how the server behave under heavier load than in the beta tests.

There is a special page for AmiFox where you can download the program.

AmiTube 1.3

Posted by ALB42 on 29. Juli 20228 Comments

„Alex R“ found a AmiTube problem on Amiga OS4 and reported it to me. (some days before already) I tried to implement that AmiTube remembers the splitter position. Sadly I made a big error there resulting in a very small barely recognizable List on the left side of the window. I only tested it on m68k-Amiga where it did not happen, but after a bit of trying I found the culprit and fixed it.

Originally I planed to release that fix with the next version, but now I got some more bug reports about the exact same thing (hmm, nobody of the beta testers reported it). It seems that it is not only an OS4-problem but also happens on at least MorphOS and some 68 Amigas. Therefore I will release this new version now, with bugfixes only, no functional changes.

Sorry for the trouble, if you are affected by this bug.

Thanks to „Alex R“ for the report and the members of the AmiTube Discord channel and of course Amix for the constant support and feature ideas (even if I can’t implement them all)

AmiTube 1.1

Posted by ALB42 on 11. Juni 2022No Comments

I finished some bug reports (most related to the fancy list), big thanks to the beta testers, especially „HANsolo“ who found the most bugs, thanks very nice work.

One thing I changed, The „Auto icon load“ setting in prefs will now also set the fancy list to auto load the icons or not, that way I guess it is maybe also usable on slower Amigas as well. I tried out on my real A1200 (with TF1260, AGA 32 color screen) and even with the icon preview on, it’s not that bad, certainly fast enough to work with it. I like it.

So the changes for this Version are quite short:

  • Fancy movie list
  • updated translation for italian and french
  • encoding bug fixes (should show now umlauts and other non ASCII chars in title and description)
  • smaller bugs fixes related downloading movies

Download as always via the Updater in the Program or on the AmiTube page

AmiTube 1.0

Posted by ALB42 on 16. März 20222 Comments

Finally here it is the 1.0 of AmiTube a lot of changes. As shown before now it contains a Download queue to start more than one conversation/download job which are processed one after the other. A Typical Amiga thing is the AREXX interface, all good programs have it, therefore AmiTube needs that as well. There are commands to search and to start a convert job and play a movie.

For this new Version I will also supply a Version for AmigaOS 4 and MorphOS due to popular demand.

Next to the search bar is now a Button which opens the search history.

AmiTube 1.0 with AREXX script

Changes:

  • History for search
  • AROS64 ABIv11 bit version
  • MorphOS Version
  • Amiga OS4 Version
  • Download more Amiga-like audio only formats: mp3 and 8svx
  • dual PNG Icons by AmigaSystem
  • Download Queue
  • Improved AutoPlay
  • AREXX interface
  • dutch Translation

Download as always on the AmiTube Page

Next days I will also Update the Dcker container for the new features.

AmiTube for AROS

Posted by ALB42 on 25. Dezember 2021One Comment

I got some request for AmiTube for AROS because with the MPEG feature it is nicely possible to download and view videos in AROS. In AOS4 and MorphOS you can easily just use the m68k Version because of the seamless integration of 68k Emulation. But in AROS this is no possbile, therefore I compiled a special version for i386 AROS ABIv0 and ARM AROS.

Download at the AmiTube Page

Don’t forget to set a MPEG as default and a suitable MPEG player like mplayer, in principle a simple downloader would be enough for AROS (and AOS4, MorphOS for that matter) i386/arm should be fast enough to play the original format, so no conversation is needed at all.

AmiTube 0.6

  • Preview Icons (need jpg Datatype)
  • All formats Download buttons on main gui

After some beta testing today I release the Version 0.5 of AmiTube. Most important news:

  • As described before, 3 different quality settings for the movies, CDXL OCS, CDXL AGA, MPEG1
  • Share your most favorite videos with other AmiTube users
  • Load list of shared videos from internet
  • type a YouTube URL to search bar to directly get a video description
  • observe clipboard for YouTube URLs
  • parameter for CDXL and MPEG Player
  • special Version for 68000 processors (normal Version needs at least a 68020)

I also created a dedicated page where always the most recent AmiTube Version can be downloaded.

Have Fun.

AmiTube 0.3 First Release

Posted by ALB42 on 26. November 20219 Comments

Just to finish that (for me the program and services around are now more or less finished) I will publish this AmiTube program which you can use to watch short YouTube videos on your ordinary Amiga 68k.

As one can notice in the last video I changed my setup from MultiView to AGABlaster, which is much better to play the CDXL videos, faster and smoother, also the palette switching works better. (you can change the default player in Preferences)

Download: AmiTube 0.3

If you use that program, remember the conversation is done on my Server, please do not overdo it (try to convert a 2 hour video or convert hundreds of videos) other (and myself) need that Server for other things as well 😉

And please do not share or publish this program, anywhere! If one want to have it, here its free download it from my page. Thanks!
