In an attempt to satisfy many users, I have added another mode to the
now playing widget. This shows the large cover art however it draws the song details
below the artwork, without the gradient that everyone seems to have a problem with.
This is just an option and all the original functionality is unchanged.
Block analyzer uses an internal variable m_step to determine how
long to hold a bar up. This is dependant on framerate, however it is
only set on creation or resize of the analyzer. This patch changes
this value whenever the framerate is changed, preventing the analyzer
from appearing wildly fast or extremely slow until a restart.
When viewing the "Full Size" album covers, if the cover was higher in
resolution than that of the monitor, it would get cut off. Also,
the window was resizable however the image was not. This patch makes
the dialog a fixed size and resizes the cover only if it is too large to
fit on the screen. It also now displays the dimentions of the original
artwork in the title bar.
The chunks are now determined by the density of data in the buffer
to the length of audio in the buffer. The chunk length can change
size so that the audio that is analysed is exactly what is being played
at the instant the frame is requested.
The analyzers are sent new buffers of audio data to process each time
they pass through the gst pipeline. Different file formats and bit depths/
sample rates can change the size of these buffers, in some cases making them
large and therefore infrequent. This causes choppiness in the analyzer
as it is not getting new data with every frame. This patch chunks the buffers
coming off the pipeline to correspond with the framerate of the analyzer.
This patch prevents the framerate of all analyzers from
increasing beyond the framerate set in the interface at all times.
It however will allow the analyser to redraw as often as required
to prevent artifacting when the play scrubber is drawn in front.
If "fade out on stop" is enabled, the "stop after this track" feature
would stop not stop the on current track, but instead start playing
the next track and fade out on that immediately. This patch disables
fadeout when the engine is stopped by HandleStopAfter().
