Hah! Who needs PPAs? I have my own multimedia+ repo!

Upgrading ffmpeg to 3.4 for Stretch...builds fail on the Jessie base, so sticking to ffmpeg 3.3.4 there until I figure it out, if ever. I can however build 3.4 on my own laptop for Jessie-based MX 16, at least for amd64. Trying the 32-bit build as I type.

Added glmark2 openGL benchmarking tool. Known limitation: discrete GPUs on Optimus systems read much lower than the integrated Intel GPU. Use glxspheres(64) for that instead, which I am going to add with the virtualgl package soon.

also added paint program Krita 3.3.1 from upstream Debian.

[Innovate]

Thanks for updated Azpainter 2.1.1. I'm appreciated.
Steve, can you package this thing? I've discovered new treasure this moment.

Rarirty: ***** stars
None any distro package this yer not even AUR.
Github have linux archive binary though but it'd better if you can build deb package on repo.
If you can package this one we MX & Debian become have new stuffs than Arch sometimes.

I will take a look at it, but plan to put it in a separate repo if I can package it correctly.

Updating Krita to latest 3.3.2.1 release.

[roseway]

Thanks for that Steve. I hadn't used your repository before, but I set it up to upgrade Krita, and it was painless and much appreciated.

[stevepusser]

Audacity upgraded to 2.2.0 and obs-studio to 20.1.1 for both Jessie and Stretch.

Steve, thank you so much for this and for qmplay2. It's the only youtube streaming client I have found that works for me in Stretch.

I am getting an error on start

QtSvg module doesn't exist.
QMPlay2 will not display icons!


This does not prevent the player from working, however.

Now I can find quite a few qtsvg modules. Which is the best to install?

Code: Select all

lysander@psychopig-xxxiii:~$ apt-cache search qtsvg

Argghh---looks like the dependency was added back in April. I'll add it as a hard depends, since it doesn't get added automagically like the others.

For Qt 4 builds like mine, the correct package is libqt4-svg. If the program is built against Qt 5, I'd try adding libqt5svg5-dev to the build-depends and see if the runtime gets added to the dependencies automatically, as is usually the case, before trying the manual addition.

[Lysander]

For Qt 4 builds like mine, the correct package is libqt4-svg.

This sorted it out. Thank you, Steve.

One more question - I've come across one YouTube video that asks you to sign in. Is there any way sign in to play such videos? It gives this message

I did an update to qmplay2 in the repo to add that dependency automatically from now on.

I encountered a Youtube video like that once before, and nothing I tried could view or download it outside a browser. AFAIK, qmplay2 keeps the internal version of youtube-dl that it uses updated, so I assume that's some "mature content" video like a violent video game trailer that I encountered. But maybe they are working around that, too...needs some research.

Vidcutter-5.0.0 added for Stretch only, since Jessie's python 3 is too old.

Indeed, I just added your repo and downloaded QMplay2 to my netbook and it was added automatically.

No matter about the signing in, to be honest since it happens very rarely. Curiously enough, the video that requested it was an Iraqi wedding dance video.

Today's QMPlay2 17.12.11 release is built for Stretch. This new version mandates use of Qt 5 >= 5.6.3, so Stretch just squeaks in, no more Qt 4 builds, and Jessie builds are no longer feasible.

drop support for Qt < 5.6, CMake < 3.1, and FFmpeg < 2.5,
add Ukrainian translation file (Alexey Lugin),
update Russian translation file (victorr2007),
more mouse interaction with system tray,
remove already fixed Qt bug workarounds,
use Qt5 JSON parser instead of Json11,
add Toast notifications for Android,
simplify LineEdit using Qt 5.2 API,
remove SoundCloud and ProstoPleer,
use "QCommandLineParser".

Added Blender 2.79 for Stretch.
