[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1307624, member: 109222"] Hi. The source code for Media-Buddy V2 is now available on GitHub. The [ICODE]README.md[/ICODE] file explains how to run the program directly from the source code, as there are no ready-made installers yet. It also lists the external tools required. [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/cplehmden-ai/Media-Buddy2[/URL] The video component is now complete—barring any as-yet-undiscovered bugs. Furthermore, the localization system has been fully transitioned to language catalogs ([ICODE].po[/ICODE] files), allowing you to use any language for the Media-Buddy GUI by loading or creating the corresponding catalog. If a language is only partially supported, any untranslated text will be displayed in English. [ATTACH type="full"]219716[/ATTACH] As a test, I had a few terms translated into French. As you can see, it works. I also tested Media-Buddy V2 on Linux. That works too—though I failed to install a current version of ImageMagick on my Linux Mint system.
