[amigakit]

The following software updates for the A600GS and  A1200NG have been uploaded today through the in-built live update system.  They are available to download for all registered AmiSphere users:


46.1.1110  (06/06/2025):


SystemV46:

* Move PlayMP3 to Utilities drawer
* Add new AmigaKit version of More V46 to SYS:Utilities
* Update filesysbox.library

PlayMP3:

* Add AmiBench support. Dropping icons on PlayMP3 icon now starts MP3 playback. Add to AB-Dock Add UNIQUE switch, only one instance of PlayMP3 can run with the UNIQUE switch, other started that way will send commands to the extant player and then exit. Current command support is limited to ACTION_QUIT. Initially this allows clicking on AB-Dock icon to start playing files and then clicking a second time to stop playback.

ArmMP3File backend: 

* Add opencount variable, to monitor opening depth and avoid the one 68k client killing anothers threads

* Add ASL requester when no files are parsed via command line or amibench startup message, add BASEDIR option to set the initial directory of the requester. Add directory scanning if an added path is a directory. With combinations of IGNOREM3U IGNOREMP3 and RECURSE options you can add all playlists or all mp3 files from a direcory heirarchy.
Add SHUFFLE option. Simple pseudo random shuffle, don't use for cryptology 🙂

Work:

* Add Work:Sound/Music/MP3 folder and three sample MP3s
