Alinea Computer: OmniPort - Multi port adapter for Amiga 1200
Press release: We are pleased to announce the release of the OmniPort multi port adapter for the Amiga 1200.
The OmniPort is a multi-port adapter that neatly routes various hardware interfaces on the Amiga 1200 desktop case to the outside via the expansion port. The interfaces are 2x USB, 1 x HDMI and 1x MicroSD. In order to be able to use the respective interfaces with the OmniPort, the corresponding hardware must already be installed in the Amiga 1200.
The hardware can be purchased now for 24.95 Euro in the online shop. (dr)

Floppy disk images reading and writing on PC or Mac: Greaseweazle 0.31
Keir Fraser's "Greaseweazle" does - similar to Kryoflux - read the magnetic information on a floppy disk independently from the format used and saves as much information as possible to generate a so-called "Flux Level Image" in Supercard format (SCP), which enables reading and back-writing of copy-protected disks (amiga-news.de reported).
The adapter gets connected between a floppy disk drive - e.g. a standard 3.5" PC one - and a USB port of the PC or Mac. Now released version 0.31 increases USB buffer size from 16 to 64 KB. Greaseweazle is available at various dealers. (snx)

Graphics card ZZ9000: New firmware 1.9.1
Lukas F. Hartmann's ZZ9000 is a graphics card with additional features and ports (network, USB, SD cards), which can be preordered in different versions (amiga-news.de reported).
Yesterday the new firmware version 1.9.1 was released. It requires the new RTG driver 1.9 (can be downloaded under the title link) and includes the following changes:
- Fixes issues from 1.9:
- PAL/NTSC/Interlace switching was sometimes unreliable, leading to garbage states if loading monitor driver after loading Workbench
- Video formatter writes (esp. for sprites) could be interrupted with other video formatter writes by vblank/split interrupt, leading to undefined states and garbage or doubled screen when switching modes (esp. with RTG/native mode switching)
- ZZ9000Installer had a bug that would not rename the correct driver for Zorro 2 systems (A500/A2000)
- Improvements vs 1.8:
- zzusb.device now in ZZ9000 ROM (Remove Devs:ZZ9000USBStorage.device!)
- Automatic discovery and boot from USB stick partitions (currently OFS/FFS only)
- "Turbo" method of setting up drawing registers now the default (helps with CyberStorm MK1, for example)
- 2 different palettes supported for 8-bit P96 split screen (requires P96 3.1.4+)
- Support for new Multi Monitor feature of P96 by setting DISPLAYCHAIN ToolType of ZZ9000 to NO (requires P96 3.1.2+)
- Horizontal Panning support in RTG modes
- Ethernet negotiation doesn't block boot anymore
- Native Capture: Fix rare Column Swap Bug
- Native Capture: Optional "Non Standard Sync" modes that are closer to the original refresh rate, enabled by setting ENV:ZZ9000-NS-VSYNC. Needs a tolerant display
- Native Capture: Moved all switching (incl. NTSC/PAL) code to vblank interrupt, fixing some RTG/native switching bugs
- INT6/INT2 Interrupts reworked in ZZ9000Net.device to support interrupt sharing with other cards and ZZ9000AX.
- New Screen Modes: 2560x1440@30Hz, 1600x1200, 720x480
- Fixes compatibility with some displays vs 1.8
- Known Problems:
- 256 MB AutoConfig Memory enabled only after first reset
- Autoboot and AutoConfig Memory features can lead to problems with some special Amiga setups. Use alternative firmware versions to disable these. With Autoboot disabled, you can use zzusb.device from Extras drawer in the installer archive.
- USB storage can be crashy with CS MK1 accelerator

AmigaOS 4: MediaVault 1.4.1 (Update)
MediaVault is an open source application for AmigaOS 4 which can be used to discover online radio stations. An external player like AmigaAmp and the jansson.library v2.12.1 are required. For the first time now Podcasts also are supported. The author George Sokianos wrote:
"I just released the new version of MediaVault 1.4.0, which brings one of my favorite features, and I am talking about the podcasts support.
MediaVault uses PodcastIndex.org to get data for the listed podcasts and episodes. It has more than 4.2 million of podcasts in it's database, making it one of the biggest online sources. I am sure you will find your beloved podcasts in there, as well.
MediaVault is the first native application for AmigaOS 4 that brings podcasts at the tip of your fingers. And I am sure that you will love it as much as I did developing it.
For now, MediaVault returns only 100 podcasts based on your search criteria, and only the latest 100 episodes of the selected podcast, but I am sure, until you listen to all of this content, the next version will be ready, bringing unlimited access.
The new version can be downloaded from the project GitHub page. If you already use the previous version, there is a self-update process, which you can find at the application menu. This can be used to update to the latest available version automatically.
I would like to thank all of my supporters for helping me develop MediaVault, adding new features and making better and better."
Detailed changes:
- You can now search for podcasts based on their title, see info and their avatar and a list of the latest 100 episodes.
- By selecting an episode and clicking the play button the audio is loaded to the player and starts playing.
- Changed the way the avatar images are downloaded, which is now faster and solves a lot of errors with network access, which resulted connection error messages to appear.
Update: (05:01, 11.10.21, dr)
Meanwhile version 1.4.1 is available. You now can choose your favourite player. With regard to playing Podcasts it seems that the 'Emotion' media player developed by Entwickler-X is most suitable. It can be purchased directly from the developer or e.g. in the Alinea Computer Shop for 25 Euro. Detailed changes:
- Added an error message when podcast response is not a successful one
- Added scripts/start_player.sample script. This can be used to set the preferred player. This needs to be renamed as start_player to be used. The reason the file is named like that is to avoid replacements in future updates. The file includes configuration for different supported players, but more can be added.
- Added Trending Podcasts search based on category and/or language
- Added radio station bitrate and codec information in results list and at the right sidebar.
- Changed the about window to add more information.
- Fixed the error of not finding the texteditor.gadget on start
