One year after last official release, I'm glad to announce a new version of xVideoServiceThief.

This new version 2.0a comes with a lot of new features, improvements and updated services, but the most important change is the new xVST core based on plugins (java script plugins), so everyone can now write their own plugins.

The new xVST is developed using the last Qt framework (4.5.x), which is needed for the new xVST plugins core.

Also, an official version for MacOS X (Intel) is available! Yes! Finally! The PPC version is being developed.

The xVST linux version now includes a simple install script, which will help the users install the new xVST. Please read the "readme.txt" before install the xVST linux.

Hey! The new xVST under Qt4 has been finalized!! All the main features are ready and now it's time to solve bugs and other issues.

The project needs your help! Try the new version and help us to fix bugs and other issues!!

Download the current version from the SVN server. Any help will be welcomed!

I'm glad to announce that the SVN service has been activated with the current project state.

The version uploaded and maintained is the new version of xVideoServiceThief using Qt4! The project is under development, so the code uploaded is incomplete and potentially unstable.

You can checkout the SVN here: http://xviservicethief.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/xviservicethief/trunk/

After a time off, I'm ready again to continue encoding the new xVideoServiceThief Qt4 version.

All (maybe almost all, to be exactly) of the base core program is finished (download, convert, list manager, etc...).

Please be patient!!!!! I'll come back with more news!

The project is changing from Delphi/Lazarus to C++ using Qt4.

What this means? This means a native support for MacOSX, GNU/Linux and Windows! with same quality and functionality!

Keep checking this website to know the current state of xVST!

I'm working every day, fixing and adding new features to xVST.

So, why a new version is not ready yet? The main reason is because I'm having important troubles to detect and fix an IMPORTANT hidden bug, which cause an internal error. The bug is almost localized, but it occurs into a non primary Thread, and it's hard to handle it in real time.

Note for Lazarus users: The future 1.3 Alpha source code will be updated and available to compile with Lazarus. I'm testing/writing the Lazarus code with Lazarus 0.9.23 beta for Windows.
