I’ve made an update to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion, which included adding Issues 59 and 60. I’ve also added support for LdPic format images, and updated the pages shown for programs to include links to download the disc image for the relevant issue.
This version adds support for LdPic format compressed images, as well as the existing memory dump image support. It also includes native support for 64-bit platforms and a number of internal enhancements.
For full details and to download this release, see the BBC Graphics Viewer page.
I’ve just released a minor update to Radio Downloader. The application code is unchanged from version 0.10, but I have updated the bundled Mplayer binary to a full build instead of the smaller one that I was using before.
This should resolve the issue that I previously mentioned with international users incorrectly getting AAC streams transcoded to mono.
I’ve just added Issues 62 and 61 to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. As the amount of bugs I encounter adding each issue seems to be reducing, I’ve added two new issues this time.
Just a quick update to let you know that I am aware that Radio Downloader is incorrectly producing mono files for some BBC Radio programmes for users outside of the UK.
I believe that I have found the cause and the fix is currently being tested. All being well, I hope to release an update which resolves the issue in a week or so.
Today I have released version 0.10 of Radio Downloader. This release removes the final dependencies on the BBC’s Real Audio streams by implementing re-encoding MP3 streams to different bitrates, and falling back to encoding AAC streams to MP3 if there are no MP3 streams available (such as currently for a number of episodes for users outside the UK).
For full details of what has changed in this release, please see the changelog.
I’ve just added Issue 63 to the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion. I’ve not made any other changes or bug fixes to the conversion this time around.
I’ve recently become aware that most recently broadcast BBC Radio Programmes do not have either Real Audio or MP3 streams available for international users. This means that Radio Downloader is unable to download these programmes outside of the UK.
I’m currently working on a solution, and I hope to release an updated version which will fix the problems for international users in the next few weeks. This issue doesn’t affect UK based users.
I have just released version 0.8.4 of Radio Downloader. This is the second bugfix release in the 0.8 series, and does not include any new features.
The fixes in this release allow the most commonly reported MP3 download errors to display informative error messages. For full details, check out the changelog.
I’ve just updated the 8-Bit Software Magazine Online Conversion to include Issue 66. I have also tweaked the navigation to be clearer and enable navigating from an item to its parent magazine instead of just up to the index.
