Version 1.7.0

1.7.0 - 2021-06-20

Update notes

Since the project has been renamed, you should migrate your configuration file, if you have one.
On Linux:

mv ~/.config/dakara/player_vlc.yaml ~/.config/dakara/player.yaml

On Windows:

# cmd
move %APPDATA%\Dakara\player_vlc.yaml %APPDATA%\Dakara\player.yaml
# powershell
mv $env:APPDATA\Dakara\player_vlc.yaml $env:APPDATA\Dakara\player.yaml

Added

• mpv is supported as an alternative player.
  In the config file, the player can be selected in the player.player_name key.
  Current accepted values are vlc and mpv.
• VLC runs in a permanent Tkinter window if possible, which doesn't close between media.
  The old behavior can be restored in config file using the player.vlc.use_default_window key.
• The default backgrounds and text templates can be copied to user directory with the command dakara-play create-resources, to be easily customized.

Changed

• The project is renamed:
  • Repository name: dakara-player-vlc > dakara-player;
  • Module name dakara_player_vlc > dakara_player;
  • Pypi package name dakaraplayervlc > dakaraplayer;
  • Config file name player_vlc.yamd > player.yaml;
  • Command name dakara-play-vlc > dakara-play.
• Custom backgrounds and text templates are loaded from the user directory: ~/.local/share/dakara/player on Linux and $APPDATA\Dakara\player on Windows.
  It is not possible to specify a custom lookup directory anymore, so the config keys player.backgrounds.directory and player.templates.directory are now ignored.
