Vaporware announcement!
Well v1.2.x isn't but I've decided to jump ship and am proud to announce v2.0 of Silverwolf will be a Windows-only app... NOT
In reality, my wife and I have decided to trade our Infiniti FX35 in on a Honda Ridgeline so in preparation for that alot of changes are in store for Silverwolf:
The Screen size will no longer be static at 800x480 since I'll likely be installing a higher resolution screen in the Ridgeline.
All sound output and possibly even Tag hunting will be handled by FMOD instead of a conglomeration of things (read the Intuitionsys/Llama techie thread for the details ad nauseum about that
).
Everything is getting ported to Qt4 and as such I'll be taking advantage of some of the cool transparency functions in the new Qt4 libraries.
The skinning will have to change significantly (hopefully for the better) so any pre-2.0 skins will be unfortunately incompatible.
Touchscreen will become a reality. I'll still be keeping remote control functionality the way it is though.
So when the dust settles, all you'll need is:
Silverwolf (and small ancilliary libs/apps)
Xine
FMOD
Qt4
ivtv driver (if you use the PVR)
with no reliance on a billion other things thus making the setup a kagillion times easier than it is now. I know alot of people have looked at my setup page and thought "yeah right I'm going to do all that"
I expect it'll be a good three months to make all the changes...
