Full Version: EncSpot 2.1 (hello!)

Hi!

After touring the galaxy for a couple of years, I am back!
Ok really I have been side tracked by other projects etc, you know how it is....

Anyway. I wrote a new version of EncSpot Pro : 2.1. People who bought 2.0 get it free of course, they should just email me.

There is a new site, and a new email address.
www.guerillasoft.co.uk

email is old email, but with .co.uk, instead of .com smile.gif PM me if you are stuck!

What I really want to do is put a spectral view of the mp3 into the Pro version.... it's quite good to see (guess) whether a low pass filter has been applied...... That will come up in the future if there is interest. Also, supporting other file types.

I admit I havent been working on EncSpot for ages and ages, but I am happy to start up again, if there is still interest!

Also : a new version of mp3cue is available (for free). It's now compatible with Winamp 5. I started listening to mixes again so needed a new version;)

Ciao!

PS: tried to put this in the Validated news section but couldn't.... do only moderators have the right to start threads there?

Hey! Nice to have you back working on EncSpot!

It's still my #1 choice.

Erh and I hope you will focus on determining the encoder and enc settings, most important feature that is. Of course an graphical freq analyzer is a useful tool and a good idea. biggrin.gif

Regards

Oh btw: you have to fix this I think:
404 Error -- File Not Found
The page you are looking for (http://guerillasoft.co.uk/EncSpot/EncSpot Basic 2.0.zip) is not here.

cool.gif Great to see you back, I wanna see the mp3 encoder guessing improved!

-Also MPC files encoded in q8 (BrainDead profile) & up detected
-Lame Tag updates (phwip has made a tool that supports current Lame Tag & has the source code here)
-What about including replaygain support?

Hi JonD, welcome back! Moving this to validated news...

this is good news wink.gif
i hope you'll be able to improve the sync error detection since that's what i'm mostly interested in. dunno about this latest version, but the one before sometimes gave false positives and sometimes it missed an error (confirmed with mp3trim they were proper sync errors not skips encoded to mp3).

might one be able to download a trial version of the encspotpro in the future, to make up your mind before paying (or not)?

now, this is something which does surprise me - encspot is back in development.

A warm "welcome back" from me as well.

Seems like the near future may look interesting in the encoder-guessing department with now at least 3 active projects.

Thanks for the welcome back everyone! I appreciate it!

Perhaps I will try to write a demo version of the pro version, as well as the free version. It is true that it would be useful to try out the extra features. I agree...

Can I use my same serial number as before? or do I need to obtain a new one?

lalala.gif I fixed the link to the Basic version now. Sorry about that!

Itīs really great to see that developement of EncSpot continues.
Some time ago (over one and a half year!) I modified detection routines to detect Uzura3 correctly. The encoder has a quite good quality, but itīs not used widely, probably because itīs very slow. Itīs quite easy to detect: Always uses padding, no reservoir, no intensity, no scfsi. Uses long, short and mixed blocks.
CODE
else
   { //scalefactors not used

    // Uzura3 always uses padding and reservoir is always 0

    if (data.mode == MPG_MD_JOINT_STEREO)
    {
     if (data.av_reservoir > 0)
     {
      if ((data.padding) && !(data.original) && !(data.copyright))
       return guess = _T("QDesign");
     }
     else
     {
      if (data.padding)
       return guess = _T("Uzura3");
     }
    }

    if (data.vbr)
    {
     if ((data.padding) && data.av_reservoir == 0)
      return guess = _T("Uzura3");
     else
      return guess = _T("Lame (old)"); //old Lame with no scfsi
    }

    if (data.mode == MPG_MD_DUAL_CHANNEL)
    {
     if (data.padding)
      return guess = _T("Blade");
     else
      return guess = _T("dist10 encoder or other encoder");
    }
    //either mono or plain stereo
   
   
                   if (data.av_reservoir < 40 && !data.vbr) //ISO based encoders are unable to properly use bit reservoir... average reservoir usage is about 10
    {
     if (data.av_reservoir > 0)
     {
      if (data.padding)
       return guess = _T("Blade");
      else
       return guess = _T("dist10 encoder or other encoder");
     }
     else
     {
      if (data.padding)
       return guess = _T("Uzura3");
      else
       return guess = _T("dist10 encoder or other encoder");
     }
    }
    else
     return guess = _T("Gogo (before 3.0)");
   }
Have you seen this thread (153 posts long): http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=11785
A discussion about a encspot-replacement (since it seemed to be dead) and ways to detect the encoders.

will you release new BSD console version?
(i'm working on linux gui for it right now)

Hi Jon, and welcome back!

I too am interested in an answer to that question - are you planning on updating the EncSpotConsole source as well?

I took the liberty of porting these sources to Linux/UNIX (with very few changes actually) - I hope that's OK with you... You can read a little bit about the port in this thread.

Cheers...

I'm also interested in the new console version (actually in the static library), I'm using it in my AMIP now-playing plug-in: http://amip.tools-for.net .

may i ask whats the changelog from 2.0 to 2.1?

huh? the basic version is still at 2.0 and console version is 2.01, so you mean the pro version, right? assuming this, there was a 2.1 beta version available since a long time now AFAIK (2.1 beta1 build 489)...
but yes, changes from 2.1 beta to 2.1 final would be interesting.

by the way JonD, if you click to buy the pro version, there is an option to "download the evaluation version" with this link: http://www.guerillasoft.com/EncSpot2/download.html
however, the link seems to be dead and refers to this
site...
