Updated version? #12

Closed niksy closed 12 years ago

niksy commented 12 years ago

Any chance of having some updated version of this fork for us who don’t have or don’t use Xcode? :)

samiamwork commented 12 years ago

Yeah, sorry I should have been uploading builds. I've just been holding off on uploading a new build because there are some problems that look like regressions and I wasn't sure if people would want that. I guess I could just keep the latest version uploaded with the warning that it might have issues.

samiamwork commented 12 years ago

Okay, latest build is up. Feedback and problem files welcome!

niksy commented 11 years ago

Any chance of getting the most recent stable version up? Your work is excellent since there aren’t many simple and lightweight yet really powerful video players on OSX, and official Movist (available on App Store) IMO went the other way.

How is the current version behaving on recent OSX builds? I’m still on 10.6.8.

samiamwork commented 11 years ago

I really should be better about uploading builds. I'll upload a new build shortly. Thanks for poking me about this.

Unfortunately I dropped support for 10.6 so I could get off some deprecated API that was keeping Movist from being 64-bit. Now the minimum requirement is 10.7. It would be totally doable to maintain a branch that supports 10.6 but it might be a bit tough to maintain it and I don't have time to do it. If someone wants to take a stab at this I can point them in the right direction.

Relevant commits with respect to the 10.7 switch:

No problem regarding 10.6, I am planning on switching to 10.9 when it comes, so it's no big deal, but I'm glad you're considering releasing new builds :)

Regarding releases, have you considered GitHub Releases workflow?

samiamwork commented 11 years ago

Good to hear!

I hadn't heard of GitHub Releases. I'll look into it. Thanks!

I know it’s annoying, but it would really help if more recent binary is available for download :)

samiamwork commented 10 years ago

Crap. Sorry. I did say I would do this. Thanks for bugging me. It's not annoying at all. =) Top of tree has a bug or two that you wouldn't want but I'll try and make a build from just before that.

samiamwork commented 10 years ago

Unfortunately I forgot that I can't build the version that doesn't have the audio bug (Issue #29) anymore (due to Xcode changed), but If you don't mind that bug (and the mild annoyance of broken update checking) I've uploaded a build here:

Feel free to file bugs against it.

niksy commented 10 years ago

Thank you :) I’ve tried with the original version available at https://github.com/samiamwork/movist/downloads and it works perfectly with 10.9 so I think I will stick with that for the time being.
