New opusenc.exe build with a bug fix regarding the output filename

New opusenc.exe build with a bug fix regarding the output filename

Hi everyone, Today, I fixed a bug in my opusenc code regarding the output filename when it is not provided. The issue was that if a file didn’t had an extension, then the output string would be empty, so in reality, the encoded file would not be stored. This has been fixed in my latest commits still awaiting approval to be merged into the official opusenc GitHub repository. The new updated code is the following: There are now two “if”…

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Opus GUI v1.2 released!

Hi everyone, Late yesterday, I released v1.2 of Opus GUI: This new release brings several improvements. v1.1 was also released but was immediately superseded by v1.2 due to an uncorrected bitrate bug.

This is useful because sometimes, new opusenc versions are released which I personally compile and try to see if there’s new improvements to the audio files.
