Save AVS...!!!
 

Save the AVS, i been hearing rumours of you deciding NOT to re-do AVS ? can u release the source code or something???!

AVS will not be ditched, but it will probably not be developed further aside from bug fixes.

The source code won't be relased, as it will cause compatibility problems with many different versions flying around (just like how most software isn't compatible across Linux distros without seperate compiles).

Also, keep in mind that the AVS code is very mature, and it is doubtful that somebody who has never seen it before can do much to improve it.

what about Jaak he's the master of avs, c++ etc (linux)

What about UnConeD?

that's partially true, all of the code won't be released but... the expression evaluation library (NS-EEL) was released publically back when 5.04 came out (there's at least a copy in the sdk installer i make.

also what's this crap of 'deciding NOT to re-do AVS'?? i don't see AVS being ditched from the Winamp distro so whoever said that needs to be sorted out if you know what i mean...

i see it piece by piece crumbling away...

For example?

please do explain this since i've no idea of what you're talking about??

Maybe he's talking about his brain? :p

im sorry maybe ill clarify next time :P, i was talking about the amount of people who cant be bothered to read pak-9's manual (770#) words... or dirkdeftlys

Yeah, right :weird: :igor:

Tell ya what, let's move this from the Wishlist to AVS forum...

WHAT THE FUCK?

heh lol. looks like you got promotion

Isn't this subject overdiscussed already? please lock this before the biggest flaming ever begins

AVS is (c) nullsoft, but everyone who developed on it has left. It's unlikely there will be updates. AVS is not going to be open-sourced because AVS is a valuable asset to Winamp, and the competition between media players is fierce.

However, maybe in the future the community might make a vis. I have some code lying around that I might pick up after my exams in January ;).

I agree about Jaak's skills though. The skills shown off in Jaak's third pack is just crazy.

I would seriously consider e-mailing AOL/Winamp developers with your queries about AVS, they may be happy to persue development with a third party or otherwise. Provided you give them a reason, the community, benefits to their product etc.. they will have a reason to listen to you.

Anything posted here is speculation and discussion, and therefore will get you no closer to 'saving' AVS.

still dreaming of that magical community-visualizer . . .

lol

And fridges might fly.

*cough* sorry I mean 'pigs'.
