QMPlay2 14.12.28 is released, Available for Arch Linux, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Windows and Mac OS X

In this article we want to see you about "QMPlay2 14.12.28 is released, Available for Arch Linux, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Windows and Mac OS X"


QMPlay2 is an open source and multi-platform software project that allows you to play all sorts of video files from the comfort of your Linux, Windows or Mac desktop. It is backed by the amazing and powerful FFmpeg multimedia framework and features an integrated Wrzuta.pl and YouTube browser.

Features at a glance

Key features include support for a wide range of video and audio codecs, including MP3, AC3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, support for playing Internet streams supporting the HTTP, RTSP, RTMP, MMS, and YouTube protocols, support for a wide range of subtitles, including SRT, SUB and SSA, as well as support for playlists, which can be saved or imported.

Additionally, the application features a tabbed interface, allowing you to easily navigate between the main components, which are called widgets in the app. These include the video player, equalizer, video downloader, YouTube viewer, Internet radio, FFT Spectrum, simple visualization, playlist and information. Each one can be detached from the main window.

 

You need (devel packages):
- Qt4 or Qt5 (including QtOpenGL, OpenSSL(for https) and QtDBus on Linux/BSD)
- portaudio (default on non-Linux OS, if you want to compile portaudio module on Linux, change "src/modules/modules.pro")
- libasound (for ALSA module on Linux)
- pulseaudio (optional, if you don't want to compile pulseaudio on Linux, remove it from "src/modules/modules.pro")
- ffmpeg >= 1.2 (libavcodec, libavformat, libavutil, libswscale, libswresample or libavresample*)
- libva (vaapi) and libvdpau - only on X11
- DirectDraw SDK - only on Windows
- taglib >= 1.7 (>= 1.9 recommended) (you can disable it in "src/gui/gui.pro")
- libcdio and libcddb
- libass
- libxv
*libavresample:
Uncomment last three lines in "src/qmplay2/qmplay2.pro"
Running compilation script:
Windows (Cross-compile):
- install all required MinGW packages (I recommend ArchLinux unofficial MinGW repository),
- some libraries are incompatible, uses unneeded libraries or doesn't exists in repository - you must built them on your own,
- notice that QMPlay2 uses static linking for some libraries,
- run compile_win_cross
You can also compile it on Windows, but you must build toolchain for your own!
I'm using my own PKGBUILDs for many MinGW libraries.
Visual Studio can't compile QMPlay2.
Linux/BSD:
- if you don't want to open Xterm or Konsole - "export NOTERM=1",
- if you want to prepare *.desktop files for system use - "export SYSTEM_BUILD=1",
- if you want to compile with qt suffix (for example "qmake-qt5") - "export QT_SUFFIX=-qt5",
- run compile_unix,
- QMPlay2 is in "app" directory, you can move its contents into /usr directory if $SYSTEM_BUILD == 1

The source is available now and you can download for Arch linux, OpenSUSE, Gentoo. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.

Krossword 0.18 alpha is released, Available for Linux OpenSUSE 13.2/13.1 and Gentoo [KDE Environment]

A crossword puzzle game and editor for KDE.
It's based on KrossWordPuzzle[1] by Friedrich Pülz[2] (code from the last revision available on KDE svn[3]). The development has stopped since many years and the original author is unreachable (various attempts to contact him).
For these reasons we (Cilium[4] and me) had to fork it.

General aims of the project:
- maintain the codebase;
- simplify the code where possible aiming to port it to Qt5/KDE Frameworks 5;
- improve the user experience.

Currently it's in alpha stage with some rough edges.

You can contribute with:
- translations (currently available bs, cs, de, eo, es, et, fr, ga, gl, hu, it, mai, mr, nds, nl, pl, pt, pt_BR, sk, sv, tr, ug, uk);
- themes;
- crosswords;
- reporting online *.puz providers (even not-English ones);
- packages;

Changelog of Krossword 0.18 alpha :

- Added language support (with KrossWordPuzzle old translations. Thank you KDE translators!).
- Added a French provider (mots-croises.ch, just the free crosswords).
- Added a new English provider (ChrisWords.com).
- Reworked menu layout (better organization).
- Added a new plain theme (Ink).
- Improved default theme.
- And various minor changes and fixes.

Hedgewars is an open source and multi-platform turn based strategy (TBS) video game especially designed to act as a Worms clone, but with hedgehogs. It supports GNU/Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X systems.

How the game works?

In this game, each player controls a team of several hedgehogs, using only one of them per turn to attack and kill the opponents, with the ultimate goal of winning the game. Each hedgehog has its own weapons and abilities. You will be able to move the hedgehogs around the terrain in different ways, such as jumping, walking or by using various objects (rope or parachute).

The game also includes several different weapons to choose from, including grenade, bazooka, cluster bomb, UFO, desert eagle, shotgun, fire punch, dynamite, baseball bat, mine, or pneumatic pick.
