Found a nice way to quickly test the webview handling in DPF - a very minimal web browser plugin UI with a manual URL entry! 😱

Loading the online plugin project page inside the plugin itself 😀

I know, nobody asked for this, but its a nice way to test that the feature works. More of a dev tool than being useful for end users.
It's also cool :)

If anybody wants to try: https://github.com/DISTRHO/dear-plugins

I find it a bit "funny" (by that I mean sad) that the most common topic on some Linux forums is how to run Windows apps 😕

@dreamer my current thought was "winesulin", for many reasons.

but I think any name will be fine too...

Loading Linux plugins on Windows hosts through Wine.
Because a half-step is better than no step.

To be more clear... it's hard to leave FL behind but don't really want to dual-boot or starting relying on Windows plugins.
Its possible to do plugins such that:
- Windows host loads a small shim
- shim loads Linux plugin
- do some little odd XEmbed things to get UIs on Windows host side too

I might make this a "use it if you want, no support whatsoever" project, because Wine breaks too often... 🤔

It's release day! 🚀

> Podcast Plugins are easy-to-use plugins for speech enhancement, specifically designed for podcasters who can't or don't want to dig deeper into the craft of sound engineering.

Excited to help bring another set of plugins to life! Thanks @trummerschlunk for the trust and opportunity, and somehow always managing to get the funds for these projects 😅

🎉 🎉 🎉

@darix @danimo addition to master_me

after this is one master_me gets a little bit of updates thanks to it

Next plugin UIs are getting to final stages...

Colors still TBD but looks good already I think.

@madeindex Signal be like "can we sync contacts?"

"No? ok, will ask you later"

God damn, no means no, I don't want to be asked every month!

Installed https://jellyfin.org/ today and I am quite surprised how well it works. 👏

Playing media files feels instant, unlike nextcloud that takes several seconds to start video playback...
And finally something for group watching 👏 👏

Also handles music quite nicely.
Makes me want to buy more now haha

Can recommend! #jellyfin

@xinniw on DPF (the plugin framework I created and used here for the new plugin), one of the rendering modes is using opengl, so plugging imgui for that was simple enough, check https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF-Widgets/blob/main/opengl/DearImGui.cpp for the implementation.

I only needed to do that once, now everytime I need some imgui things is just creating a ImGuiWidget based class and do custom drawing on the virtual draw function.
See https://github.com/trummerschlunk/PodcastPlugins/blob/main/plugins/ui-widgets/InspectorWindow.hpp for the theme editor, its just a few lines

for the curious ones, this is how the color-theme editor looks like...

it is just imgui doing the heavy lifting, yes :)
love that little library for such things

Being able to tweak plugin UI colors is always a treat.

UwU mode activate! ☀️ 💥 🌈

Want to be able to save such colors as user preferences, so it becomes more usable than just for testing.

Doing another little project with @trummerschlunk

Coming soon...

I wonder if it already looks like a real plugin 🤔
My UI skills are a bit lacking, also not a whole lot of time until this needs to be done.
It works nicely though.

PS: Colors to be defined

I dealt with this before and created https://github.com/DISTRHO/Zinc just to deal with sample-accurate audio monitoring/recording when using OBS and JACK.

The audio plugin hosting I did for OBS was rejected in the end, so the usefulness of these plugins is minimal unless you manually build from https://github.com/falkTX/obs-studio/tree/carla-v3
