Dev 212 - API v2 compatibility, streamer mode

This is a pre-release. Expect bugs; feel free to report them in this repository's "Issues"

Changelog

API v2

Monstercat has rolled out their new version of the Connect API which broke the software in late-2019. This update uses the new API and everything works again !

Streamer mode

Like on the website, you can now enable streamer mode which will skip or remove tracks which are not available for content creators. It removes tracks from your playlist which are not safe, disallow playing those tracks in the player, and also disable their tick box in the downloader.

Installation

With the help of Install4J (thanks to them for lending us a license), we now have installers; the updater function is currently not working, so in order to update, just install over it (no need to uninstall), and disable updater in the settings.
On Windows, make sure you use the correct x32 or x64 version, depending on your Java version. On Linux, execute the .sh, adjusting its permissions with chmod +x *.sh if needed. On MacOS, open the .dmg and move the file to your app folder. It requires Java.

Dev 181 - Playlists, Coverart viewer(s), Installers, login dialog

This is a pre-release. Expect bugs; feel free to report them in this repository's "Issues"

Changelog

Playlists

Added a new tab which is a playlist for the player. You can add tracks by right-clicking in the catalog or the downloader tab. This also adds the possibility to shuffle tracks and repeat a playlist.
There is also a way to upload and fetch playlists from Monstercat.com in the event you need to share, save, or retreive a playlist from the website.

Coverart viewers

The coverart now shows as a background behind tabs; you can also click the small album art in the player to reveal a window with a higher-res version. Losing focus will close it.

Installers

With the help of Install4J (thanks to them for lending us a license), we now have installers; the updater function is currently not working, so in order to update, just install over it (no need to uninstall), and disable updater in the settings.
On Windows, make sure you use the correct x32 or x64 version, depending on your Java version. On Linux, execute the .sh, adjusting its permissions with chmod +x *.sh if needed. On MacOS, open the .dmg and move the file to your app folder. It requires Java.

API Login Dialog

Using connect.sid is now obsolete but still possible. When no connect.sid are entered, the Download button changes into a "Login" button; this will open a dialog prompting you for your credentials (which we do not store, only storing the connect.sid).

Misc fixes

• Added a license file; LGPLv3
• Added option to reduce maximum simultaneous API connections for slow internet connections.
• Misc fixes, mostly related to Monstercat API changes concerning remixes and feats.

Dev 43 - Safer Downloads

• Adds an Audio Equalizer
• Adds Discord Rich Presence when playing songs
• Downloader has been improved and will now create .part-files while downloading. This has two major advantages:
  • Already downloaded songs will only be overwritten by fully downloaded versions, meaning there is no space inbetween where you only have a broken file
  • Should there be an unexpected termination of the download, you can easily identify and remove any leftover pieces.
• Backend has been updated to cope with changes in the Monstercat API
