1.11.10

This update brings a few UI improvements, a new plugin system, and an internal overhaul of the audio system.

Highlights:

Features / Changes:

• Added plugin system, which allows QPlayer to be extended with custom plugins
• Implemented crash handler, QPlayer will now attempt to save a log and project file when an unrecoverable error occurs
• EQ now processes samples in double precision
• Sound cue pause now adds a 5 sample fade out
• Added an OSC cue plugin which allows QPlayer to send an OSC message when an OSC cue is triggered
• Implemented a plugin which allows the MagicQCTRL hardware to control QPlayer (https://github.com/space928/MagicQCTRL)
• Creating a new project and opening a project now trigger a running cues check to prevent interruptions
• Complete overhaul of the audio limiter, the new algorithm should be punchier or smoother as desired and generally adapt better to a range of program material.
• Added AutoGain feature to the limiter
• Added plugin manager window
• Added new splash screen

Fixes / Internal Changes:

• The project now uses a custom source generator to generate a lot of the code needed for the binding logic needed by the UI
• Changed how cues are implemented internally to allow for cues from plugins to be supported
• Updated project to dotnet 10
• Removed old dependencies
• Improved text rendering
• Documentation updates
• Fixed create cue menu bug
• Fixed a couple of property dependency bugs
• Improvements and bugfixes to some of the views
• Added create cue button and hint text to the cue stack
• OSC go now triggers a delayed go instead of an instant go
• Fixed bugs in the pcm -> floating point converters
• Fixed some bugs in the resampler
• Bugfix for single file compilation which resulted in a failure to read the assembly metadata
• Fixed potential crash when reading broken peak files
• Reimplemented fade in/out code for reliability and performance, it should behave more predictably now
• Fixed OOB read in metering sample provider
• Fixed mixer automatic input removal code which removed inputs in the wrong order
• Fixed plugin loader bug in locating DLLs
• Added API to allow plugins to scroll the cue list
• Timers have been replaced with DispatcherTimers which should be more performant
• Minor UI improvements
• The WASAPI driver now attempts to set the AudioClientStreamOptions to Raw, which might help prevent windows APOs from messing with the audio
• Improvements to the delay buffer class
• API improvements for the EQSampleProvider static methods + new filter types added
• Reimplemented a lot of the LoopingSampleProvider for better reliability, it is now specialised to work specifically with the QAudioFileReader
• Removed almost all of the locks from the audio thread
• Implemented asynchronous audio buffering system, which allows audio files to be read and buffered in separate worker threads automatically
• All of it's seeking code has been moved to the QAudioFileReader and it has been partially re-written for clarity and performance
• QAudioFileReader now implements an advanced buffering system reduce dropouts and removes all locks/blocking from the audio thread. It also handles seeking to specific sample positions itself as well now
• Peak files now store the peak level of a sample separately
• Fixed a couple of event handler leaks
• Reduced GC pressure for some property change notifications by caching the event args
• Removed dependency on JetBrains profiler
• Loop mode is now a hidden combo box in the cue list for ease of editing
• Replaced uses of ProgressBar with MeterBar, which disables (a bit forcefully) UI Automation, which was causing performance issues
• Fixed nullable generation in source generator
• QAudioFileReader now reads a number of samples into a junk buffer when seeking to warm up the underlying reader stream
• Lots of internal refactoring
