Sprintbit Software updates
We have fixed and improved audio and video playback for the following programs:
Sprintbit
Playlist Manager, Sprintbit Media Player
and Home Multimedia Library.
Sprintbit Media Player version 1.1 has two new features:
DVD Player
Radio Stations Player & Database
Because lately, only three of our programs mentioned above are being
constantly updated, many users asking
us about the status of the rest of our programs, so at this moment the
status is as follows:
Current version of Visual Lottery Analyser is in good shape, Vista
ready and working with no problems.
Currently we are working on version 3.0 which will include changes like:
New SDF databases instead of MDB files, more wizards and interface
updates.
Release of new version is planned on last quarter of this year
Current version of Sprintbit File Manager is also in good shape,
Vista ready and is working with no big problems.
The software was build with use of many thirty party components. Sometimes
that components are causing some minor
problems and we are unable to fix it. Some of developers of those
components either went out of business or abandoned
making new versions.
Currently we are working on a brand version 4.0 which will include a lot
of changes.
We are getting rid of thirty party components and new File Manager will be
only our code written
in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. Release of new version is planned on last
quarter of this year
Current version of File Audio Processor works only on Windows XP
and older systems!
The software also was build using many thirty party components. That
components are not compatible with Vista.
We have to write our own. Currently we are working on a brand version 5.0.
We are getting rid of thirty party
components and new program will be only our code written in Microsoft
Visual Studio 2008
We do not have the timeline for new release yet. Probably in the next
year.

restored in today's releases for the following programs:
Sprintbit
Playlist Manager, Sprintbit Media Player
and Home Multimedia Library.

Sprintbit Software updates
We have released today new maintenance versions of Sprintbit
Playlist Manager, Sprintbit Media Player
and Home Multimedia Library.
In the past few weeks we have received many emails from our users
stating that these programs did not play audio
files on some Windows XP machines. The problem was that we used a
thirty party software from other developers
(MultimediaSoft)
and theirs DLL's files did not registered correctly on users
computers.
To solve audio playback problems, avoid any of such problems in the
future and deliver the software that will meet
your expectations we
have removed those thirty party components from our software.
By
removing these components certain features in new versions are
temporarily disabled:
CDDB Database
Audio Playback effects and equalizer
Selection of sound card, only your first, default sound card is available to
use.
Internet radio stations playback
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you. We will try
to get these features back online ASAP.
We have worked very hard to write our own code to handle audio
playback and we are glad to inform that all problems are seems to be
gone now.
We encourage all users that were unable to play audio before to
re-download our programs and try them again.
Current users do not need to download this update.

Sprintbit Software updates
Sprintbit Playlist Manager 6.1 and Sprintbit Media Player 1.1 new
versions released.
We have made significant changes in new versions. As of today these
programs can run only on the following
operating systems:
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Vista Home Premium
Windows Vista Business
Windows Vista Enterprise
Windows Vista Ultimate
Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition SP2
Microsoft Windows XP Embedded SP2
Unfortunately we cannot maintain back compatibility for older
systems anymore. According to recent research
only a small percent of users still use Windows 98/ME or 2000.
Making our programs compatible with oldest systems
caused too many problems and kept us from moving toward
newest, better technologies.
To enhance our programs
we have changed database system from old MDB to newer SQL Server
(SDF) files.
New databases are more reliable, scalable and will give our programs
better performance.
They have more capacity, each database can store up to 4GB of data,
which can give you almost unlimited possibilities.
You will be able to store millions of entries in our programs
databases.
While making those changes we have also fixed a number of small
bugs.
We are encouraging everyone to download and install new versions.
For current users of Sprintbit Playlist Manager we provide a small
tool that will move your data from old to new databases. Before
installing new version make copies of your old .mdb files.
Please refer to help file for more information about where databases
are located but they should be in
Your Documents\Sprintbit Software Databases\Sprintbit Playlist
Manager folder.
After installing new version put old (.mdb) database files back into
that folder
Please download Playlist Manager Migration tool from
here and run it to copy data. |
