Syncplay

We are pleased to announce that Syncplay 1.6.3 will adopt our new logo for Syncplay!

The old Syncplay logo (left) alongside its replacement (right)

According to the new logo’s author Catlinman:

“My goal in mind was to create a new version of the logo that embraces a more modern and clean design while retaining and accentuating the original wing design. Furthermore I wanted to include some sort of play symbol to give the whole design a much easier visual understanding. One of the challenges I faced was that the logo had to work at even tiny resolutions of 16×16 pixels while also looking good with large word mark. The final design incorporates all of this!”

As long-time followers of the #Syncplay IRC channel can attest, Catlinman put in a lot of work not just creating the initial logo but also working with Syncplay developers and users to respond to feedback by generating alternative designs and explaining his design decisions.

See Catlinman’s Imgur post for more about the evolution of the new logo which includes some of the alternative designs he produced as part of our discussions. You can also see some other mock-ups from the design process as part of our Facebook post from February 2018. A big thanks to him for all his work on this!

We did explore including additional elements in the logo, but in the end this hampered the ability of the logo to look the same at different sizes so in the end we decided to keep it simple. The addition of the play logo provides a clearer link to our core function, which is supporting people to play media. While the logo has been modernised we have retained the concept of the wing design from our original logo. Do the wings represent Hermes, known to the Greeks as a god of synchronicity and to the Romans as a god of communication and information, or is it simply an old-school anime reference? That one, dear users, we will leave open to interpretation…

The fact that the final design ended up looking a lot like the initial proposal is a testament to Catlinman’s good design instincts, and we hope that even if you find the change to be a shock that it will grow on you over time. We are also grateful to Devon who helped us explore some other logo options and to everyone who provided feedback on the logo as it was being developed.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

Change log for Syncplay 1.6.2:

• Update AppVeyor to pypiwin32 and PySide2 5.12.0; use the PySide 5.11 homebrew bottle (albertosottile, resolves #208).
  Note: This should resolve issues on Windows with Syncplay not loading (but you may need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package) – (Download the 32-bit version, i.e. ‘vc_redist.x86.exe’).
• Allow for settings variables to be stored in environmental variables (#211 by mordner)
• Create XDG_CONFIG_HOME with safe permissions (#209 by sometoby)

MacOS user? Thanks to jamebus you can now install Syncplay on macOS via a Homebrew cask:

• brew cask install syncplay

Download links (hosted by Github):

• Windows installer
• Windows portable 
• Linux Tarball
  
• macOS .dmg file (10.11+)
• macOS 1.5.3a  legacy .dmg file (10.6.8+)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package (for if Sycplay does not load on Windows) – Download the 32-bit version, i.e. ‘vc_redist.x86.exe’.

Is anyone you know having trouble connecting to syncplay.pl?

Some users have recently reported problems connecting to our server. Anyone experiencing problems are advised to try changing their DNS server to a non-geographic server, e.g. 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS), 8.8.8.8 (Google Public DNS) or 208.67.222.222 (Cisco OpenDNS).

Python 2 is being officially retired in 2020, and so it is important for Syncplay to begin the transition to Python 3. For Windows this currently means Python 3.5, but for other platforms we now support Python 3.4-3.7. Beta 2 fixes some bugs introduced in Beta 1 and adds support for anonymous statistics collection for the server – see https://syncplay.pl/guide/server/ for instructions.

Note: Due to changes in how the Syncplay configuration file is saved you may have difficulty reverting from Syncplay 1.5.6+ back to Syncplay 1.5.4 or earlier. If you care about this then backup your syncplay.ini/.syncplay file prior to testing out Syncplay 1.5.6+. Going from 1.5.6+ to 1.5.5 should be fine.

P.S. The server guide has been updated by albertosottile to explain how to run a server on macOS: https://syncplay.pl/guide/server/

Syncplay 1.5.6 Changelog:

• Transition to Python 3, and move Windows builds to PySide2. Python 3.4+ is now required to run Syncplay (for those not using pre-built versions of Syncplay), and Python 3.5 is required for Windows developers. (Issue #169 by FSMaxB with input by albertosottile, xNinjaKittyx, and et0h) resolved by PR #191 (by albertosottile with support from xNinjaKittyx, wiiabo and et0h)
• Code syntax refactoring (#195 by xNinjaKittyx with code review by albertosottile and et0h)
• Introduction of anonymous server statistics (#196 by albertosottile, with code review by Uriziel and et0h)

Python 2 is being officially retired in 2020, and so it is important for Syncplay to begin the transition to Python 3. For Windows this currently means Python 3.4 (which still supports PySide1 and py2exe), but for other platforms we now support Python 3.4-3.7.

Note: Due to changes in how the Syncplay configuration file is saved you may have difficulty reverting from Syncplay 1.5.6+ back to Syncplay 1.5.4 or earlier. If you care about this then backup your syncplay.ini/.syncplay file prior to testing out Syncplay 1.5.6+. Going from 1.5.6+ to 1.5.5 should be fine.

P.S. The server guide has been updated by albertosottile to explain how to run a server on macOS: https://syncplay.pl/guide/server/

Warning: There are two known bugs in this release: File sizes being reported as ‘???’ and erroneous ‘not ready’ messages. A second beta is in the works!

Syncplay 1.5.6 Changelog:

• Transition to Python 3. Python 3.4+ is now required to run Syncplay. (Issue #169 by FSMaxB with input by albertosottile, xNinjaKittyx, and et0h) resolved by PR #191 (by albertosottile with support from xNinjaKittyx and et0h)

Thanks to everyone who let us know that some of the 1.5.4 download links were broken. We’ve fixed the links and fixed a bug too.

• Fixed macOS certificate bug (#184)
• Add support for ‘portable’ versions of media players (MPC-HC, MPC-BE and VLC).
• Fixed bug of VLC “invalid URL error” when attempting to play an HTTPS stream with square brackets (#187)
• Changed config path logic to support XDG Change config path logic to support XDG (PR #188 by sometoby)
• Fixed some Unicode and Italian translation issues (PR #179 by albertosottile)
