New in QMedia 1.5 (Jun 18, 2009)

  • Enhancements:
  • QMedia is now packaged as a cross-platform, bundled plug-in, supporting 4D versions 2004.x and 11.3 or later.
  • QMedia is a Universal Binary, i.e. it runs natively on both PPC and Intel-based Macs when used with 4D v11.x.
  • Added a set of new commands that allow audio level metering on movies (volume and frequency levels).
  • Implemented a workaround for a problem in QuickTime versions later than 7.3, where the short pathname was returned instead of the long one.
  • Due to 4D's new threading model in v11.x QuickTime VR movies now play correctly on Mac OS X. Under 4D v2004.x QMedia implements a workaround that achieves the same result.
  • Fixed bugs:
  • Potential crash during startup in 4D 2004.x on Mac OS X. Fixed.
  • Potential crash during startup of 4D Server 2004.x on Windows if there was a TRACE command or a breakpoint in the "On Server Startup" method that would trigger the 4D Debugger window. Fixed.
  • Due to Mac OS 9 backwards compatibility, long filenames returned by the plug-in could be truncated on Mac OS X. Fixed.
  • Pathnames containing accented characters would not be interpreted correctly on Mac OS X. Fixed.
  • Re-opening the currently open database could lead to a crash. Fixed.

New in QMedia 1.5 Beta 7 (Dec 4, 2008)

  • Fixed a bug that would cause a crash during startup in 4D 2004.x on Mac OS X.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause a crash during startup of 4D Server 2004.x on Windows if there was a TRACE command or a breakpoint in the "On Server Startup" method that would trigger the 4D Debugger window.

New in QMedia 1.5 Beta 6 (Dec 4, 2008)

  • The QClientHelper component is no longer necessary.
  • It seems to be safe to run QMedia under 4D's native threading mode on Mac OS X, meaning that fiddling with 4D's Info.plist is not necessary.

New in QMedia 1.5 Beta 4 (Dec 4, 2008)

  • Various minor fixes.
  • Enabled license control.
