Downloads

There are two types of downloads :

• Installers (using Install4J) : Theses are either .exe or .sh and will install and add desktop / start menu entries. You can update an older version by installing a newest one.
• Standalone Jars : Standard jars, run using javaw [jar] or java -jar [jar]

Please make sure you select the correct Windows installer for your Java version : x32 or x64. They are not interoperable.

Java 8 is the only working version.

On Linux, Oracle JRE is highly recommended over OpenJRE. If using the latter, make sure you have the openjfx package installed. Player will only work with a modern enough version of gstreamer with .mp3 codec installed (if on openjre, oracle has no issues with mp3).

Custom Build 342 : Fix Streamer Mode (again... sigh)

Custom Build 326 : Bugfixes and latest master

Yes, I know, the version number has decreased because I was lazy and force pushed from master... Don't worry about it, it doesn't affect anything, the program will detect you have a different version and clear its cache by itself. It's just cosmetically wrong.

Custom Build 329 : Downloader Directory Variables

Features (Branches)

• Downloader directory variables (downloader-dir-vars): All fields in the downloader's "Select Folders" dialog are now compatible with variables and subdirectories 😄
  This means that you can do things like :
  • [Base Directory (big field above)]/Singles/%renderedArtists%/%title% which will account to [base dir]/Stonebank/Life & Death/[mp3 and other files] for example. This works in all fields (except base directory)
  • Quick Reminder of the (few) variables that I know :
    • %renderedArtists% : Artists as shown in the website, it's an already formatted version.
    • %title% : title of the track / album
    • using curly braces like { %renderedArtists% - something else } will print Stonebank - something else Life & Death, or Life & Death if %renderArtists% is empty / null.
    • There are a lot of other variables that I don't know at all... I'll try to find them.

Custom Build 321 : Player Title Export into text file

Export Player Value was NOT into last release. My mistake. Sorry ! It is now. I hope.

• Player Title export (export-player-value) : Choose a file where the currently played song's title will be written and updated. Very useful for streamers to customize a text in OBS Studio for example.
