Updated 2024-04-23 with Opus 1.5.2, qaac 2.82 and refalac 1.82.
Installer also changed - now no longer asks for admin credentials for regular users. And can query default install dir from the browse dialog for portable install users.

I did some benchmarking and GCC's fprintf takes 100 times longer even here compared to MSVC's or clang's function.
Attached is a patch that changes progress printing to use WriteConsole on Windows when stderr isn't redirected to file. That gives consistently fast progress display on all compilers. I also noticed that stopping encoding by keyboard press didn't work when not compiled on Visual Studio, fixed that too.

I also changed the progress printing to happen 4 times less often than originally. I think maikmerten's progress update happened too seldom, it looked buggy when it was so sluggish.

I hope @KevinB52379 can test this and report if things now work correctly.


I think you might forgot to add -static in the LFLAGS since it ask for libstdc++-6.dll in my env.

Is there any reason to stick to multiples of 16/32 for target bitrate in opus encoder or does it not matter? I noticed qaac/Apple AAC forces 112-128-160-192 etc.

Unless it's a special use-case which also requires hard CBR, it does not matter.

Edit: replaced with static compile.

I'm still working on it. But I need more time than expected because I decided to use OpenGl instead of GDI+ and therefore a large part of the code has to be rewritten. But OpenGl is much faster than GDI+. So it's worth the effort. So far I have been able to solve everything. Here is a current picture of the component.

Very well presented interface, I'll keep an eye on it!

Here's a bit of code for implementing %datetime%.

First you need this...

Code: [Select]
#include <pfc/filetimetools.h>

class TitleFormatHook : public titleformat_hook
{
public:
	bool process_field(titleformat_text_out* out, const char* field, size_t, bool& found_flag) final
	{
		if (stricmp_utf8(field, "datetime") == 0)
		{
			const auto ts = pfc::fileTimeNow();
			const auto str = pfc::format_filetimestamp(ts);
			out->write(titleformat_inputtypes::unknown, str);

			found_flag = true;
			return true;
		}

		found_flag = false;
		return false;
	}

	bool process_function(titleformat_text_out*, const char*, size_t, titleformat_hook_function_params*, bool& found_flag) final
	{
		found_flag = false;
		return false;
	}
};

Then to use it. existing code might look like this.

Code: [Select]
playback_control::get()->playback_format_title(nullptr, str, obj, nullptr, playback_control::display_level_all);

The first nullptr is the title format hook arg so it can be updated like this...

Code: [Select]
TitleFormatHook hook;
playback_control::get()->playback_format_title(&hook, str, obj, nullptr, playback_control::display_level_all);
