New features
ISL Groop recordings are now supported and compatible with this version.
They can contain following streams:
- Slide Area (Remote Desktop)
- Chat
- Videos
- Podium Video
- Audio
Also new and redesigned exporting to .avi files is now possible.
Initial release for Linux 32bit, Linux 64 bit and MacOSX 10.4 was released with ISL Recording Player 3.0.0.
ISL Groop recordings can contain bookmarks. Each bookmark consists of a time created and text comment.
Navigation to PREVIOUS/NEXT bookmark can be done with PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons in player.
NOTE: These PREVIOUS/NEXT buttons work different for ISL Light recordings, they were created in the past for switching among recordings recorded on the same day (in the same session).
Export dialog was removed from Settings dialog. Exporting settings must now be set separately after you click on Export.
User can there change the default Layout, video resolution, exported streams and quality...
Settings are now stored globally and are remembered after you exit or restart the program.
User can now choose only between playback and export settings (User usually works with only 1 recording at the same time).
The settings can be reset by clicking the RESET button in Settings dialog.
ISL Groop recordings already contain indexes. This is done when the recording is being recorded. However ISL Light recordings haven't yet got same indexes recorded, so these ISL Light recordings must be indexed in ISL Recording Player before playing it.
In the past, indexing was done relatively to the current time position by creating so called checkpoints (restorepoints) in player. In this version indexing is done entirely sequentially from the beginning till the end. After indexing process reaches 100%, these recording can be played smoothly from any time slider position.
Chat is now being expandable and not fixed size anymore as it was in the past.
In "full screen mode", the controls animation is now different (it is resizing the recording area instead of covering it).
Exporting of ISL Light recording now also creates a text file named isr_chat_cache.txt, which contains the chat stream cache.
