1.0.0

No changes since 0.4.3; the program has been stable for a few months and most users seem happy so tagging as 1.0.0 and re-releasing.

0.4.3

More cleanups going towards 1.0.0. This fixes the "crash on mode switch" reported by multiple people.

• bugfix: fix crash on destruction of ffmpeg converter due to double free
• bugfix: 480p60/576p50 signals crash VP
• internal: major refactor, code is now a lib wich can be tested
• updated to ffmpeg master from 20210819

0.4.2: HDFury LLDV->HDR support, fix for white screen crash

This release offers bugfixes for different gui and memory errors. Next to that there is support for HDFury's LLDV->HDR conversion

• bugfix: white screen crash at end of play
• Support for HDFury LLDV->HDR (http://videoprocessor.org/lldv)
• bugfix: memory leak up
• added pop-up box for displaying capture device errors to the user
• added button to restart capture device
• internal: Put formatters together
• Note that the tag does not follow the usual series, tagging issue

0.4.1

Fix for interlaced source information leading to an exception being thrown.

0.4.0: Upscaling, added MPC-VR HDR, HDR controls

Here's 0.4.0, which focuses on better upscaling, MPC Video Renderer with HDR & fine grained HDR controls.

Key features:

• Support for MPC Video Renderer (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer), including HDR (ex RGB, renderer limitation).
• Option to force YCbCr422 (v210) to YCbCr420 (p010) to undo DeckLink conversion so that the renderer can do the upscaling
• You can now override all HDR data such as colorspaces and luminance values
• New command line option /frame_offset. Values can be "auto" to enable auto tuning or an integer which is set in the frame offset field.

Others:

• Latency numbers are colored to reflect how good they are
• Added V210 to P210 converter for general MPCVR YUV422 duty
• Frame queue size can now be chanced on the fly without restarting renderers
• HDR support for MPC Video Renderer (only for non-rgb formats, rest not yet supported by renderer)
• Fast v210 to p010 encoder which makes rendering times acceptable
• Fix for bad missed frame count and drops
• Display modes now stores and uses ticks/duration for video frames
• Major overhaul of renderer code
• pixelformat changed to VideoFrameEncoding as that covers the meaning better
• Do not show logo in display if renderer is running, show once renderer is done again
• Fixed all compilation warnings and handling them as error in the compiler now
• Fullscreen button is now checkbox
• OnPaint piped through to renderers
• ffmpeg logging enabled
• Improved error messages
• Lots of small TODOs solved

This will become 1.0.0 if it proves to be stable and bug free.

0.4.0-beta2

0.4.0-beta2

• HDR support for MPC Video Renderer (only for non-rgb formats, rest not yet supported by renderer)
• Fast v210 to p010 encoder which makes rendering times acceptable
• Fix for bad missed frame count and drops
• known issue: using r210 input with MPCVR is slow as it performs poorly and does not enable HDR, use the v210 to p010 conversion for testing

0.4.0-beta1

• Option to force YCbCr422 (v210) to YCbCr420 (p010) to undo DeckLink conversion so that the renderer can do the upscaling
• Support for MPC Video Renderer (https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer)
• You can now override all HDR data such as colorspaces and luminance values
• Display modes now stores and uess ticks/duration for video frames
• New command line option /frame_offset. Values can be "auto" to enable auto tuning or an integer which is set in the frame offset field.
• Major overhaul of renderer code
• pixelformat changed to VideoFrameEncoding as that covers the meaning better

0.3.2: GUI and startup arguments

This is 0.3.2, a minor release focusing on polishing the GUI and startup arguments.

• Most throws now lead to error popup
• keyboard shortcut added for renderer reset (r)
• Renderer can now be selected by command line option /renderer, example: /renderer "DirectShow - Video Renderer"
• Command line options /renderer [name] and /fullscreen together now immediately leads to fullscreen again (fire-and-forget)
• Extended the DirectShow start-stop options to include non-stop and smart selection options
• Using VP design icon
• Windowed video window now has black background and logo
• The renderer used now self-identifies in a static so that the user knows what's under the hood
• Internal cleanups
