The appearance of the player has been completely changed. Now you can quickly scroll through the video using the mouse wheel and function keys.

Download: https://mediachips.app/downloads (only for Windows)

Added:

• Item meta display options.
• Filter conditions for meta with array type.
• Item page.
• Mouse wheel scroll events on the player’s time bar:SHIFT and scroll skips +-10sec CTRL and scrolling skips + -2sec ALT and scroll to navigate marks

Changed:

• The appearance of the player with many small details.
• Appearance of the dialog with filters.
• The scrollbar has been replaced with a standard, but slightly stylized one.
• In the appbar, the buttons for the number of pages, item size, item view and display meta are combined into one menu “Item Settings”.

In an attempt to fix the error when closing the application on macOS, I decided to improve the application a little.

Updated app icon. Particular attention was paid to the macOS version.

I did not create a separate version of the application, since there are few changes. Therefore, if the following changes are important to you, then you can download version 0.11.2 again (I replaced the files).

Added:

• Shortkey for quit in macOS (Cmd + Q).

Changed:

• App icon.
• Preload image logo.
• Default image for cards (it shows a ghost).
• The app’s default colors are now purple and yellow hues.
• On macOS, when you close the application, it closes immediately (the error still occurs).
• Update to the latest version of Electron 17.

Back to developing a self-hosted version. Alpha version 0.2.0 will be released soon.

Just look what a cool player awaits you in this version! 

Added:

• Option for view counting.

Fixed:

• Checking for new versions.
• The generation of images was launched with the timeline preview option turned off. #138
• Slightly optimized application performance during timeline image generation. This was achieved by adding a delay of half a second after the generation of each frame. When generating a frame, the CPU is still used at 100%, but the process of generating one frame is very fast.

For Windows only. Later for macOS and Linux.

Link to the download page

The portable version extracts itself to a temporary folder, so it doesn’t start immediately.
I recommend downloading the unpacked version to speed up the launch of the application.

Since new features appear during the transfer to a new database, I decided to publish an alpha version.

I want those users who follow the development to see the progress and be able to try out new features for themselves.

So far, the differences from the last working (0.11.1-beta) are small, but they are:

– endless scrolling. pagination remains. you can switch between these two types of item display on the page. from my own experience of using it, I can say that by making infinite scrolling by default, I stopped using pagination.

– added “AND”, “OR” conditions between filter rows. I hope that in the future I will be able to go further and make the conditions even more detailed so that I can filter like (A = 1 “AND” B = 1) “OR” A = 2, etc.

I also work on the design to make the application look more modern and aesthetically pleasing. Since the application will be available from any device, I adjust the appearance to fit all screens.

When I publish the alpha version, I will definitely notify you in all our communities. Thank you for watching and helping the app grow.

Redesigned the meta list.  
Now there will be no division into complex and simple meta.  
Complex meta and simple meta with type “array” are now combined.  
I think you’re already confused and that’s why I decided to simplify the meta.

And also the application will now be more minimalistic and not so full of colors.
But you can still change the colors to your liking.

This is just a small change along the way, transferring the database to SQLite and the self-hosted version.

I want to share my news and thoughts with you.

First, some good news:
The app has been added to the Microsoft store.
https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9NFFJ2PVXS6C

The Microsoft version does not have a parsing function for performers from adult sites.
If you buy the application from the store, then I can send you a free key for the version from the official website of the application, which has all the functions.

Also, unfortunately, it will never be added to the Apple store. Apple didn’t even accept my developer profile.
It has been about a month since the filing date.

Despite all of the above, I will come back to signing the application later.
Now I want to focus on developing features.

Some technical details:
Although I previously wrote that the database in JSON files can support a huge amount of videos, I want to transfer it to SQLite.
With this solution, I will be sure that users will not experience a performance loss with a huge number of database records.
It is also needed to add each image to the database, and not in folders or archives as I wanted to do earlier.

Since I want to switch to the SQLite database, I began to consider a way to support two versions of the application at the same time: for desktops and for servers (self-hosted).
It turned out that for this I did not have to spend a lot of effort.
But first, I need to transfer the entire application to the self-hosted version and then connect the desktop version to it.
And it will take quite a long time. In addition, I want to add support for images and other file formats in parallel.

Thanks to everyone who uses the application and supports it.
