Airsoft Softwair has just released minor updates for several plugins that allow Hollywood to load and play lots of different tracker formats. The AHX, DigiBooster and XMP plugins have been updated. The new versions contain a few fixes and enhancements and also support macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 now. You can download them from the official Hollywood portal.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce that version 2.0 of the OggVorbis plugin for Hollywood has just been released. This is a major update which now adds support for encoding OggVorbis streams as well. Previously, only playback was supported but with Hollywood 11's new sound export interface the plugin can now also save OggVorbis streams. Constant and variable bitrates as well as several quality settings are supported. It's also possible to directly record audio data as OggVorbis now.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the new networking dream team for Hollywood: HTTP Streamer 2.0 and hURL 2.1. HTTP Streamer 2.0 is a major update which now supports a true streaming mode for audio and video files and it can also use the hURL plugin to stream files from HTTPS sources or any other protocol supported by hURL.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present version 2.0 of the PDF plugin for Hollywood. This plugin can be used to create and view PDF documents from Hollywood scripts and contains the most advanced PDF rendering engine available on Amiga systems. The plugin was formerly known as Polybios and was renamed for version 2.0 because the old name caused some confusion. Version 2.0 is a major update which, in the spirit of Hollywood 11 which has lots of optimizations for smaller executables, now contains two separate flavours of the plugin: A full version that includes the full PDF renderer and a light version which is much smaller because it only contains the engine to create PDFs. Furthermore, it's also possible to directly load PDF pages into Hollywood vector brushes now. Finally, the PDF plugin supports the macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 platforms now.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to announce that version 1.6 of the AVCodec plugin for Hollywood has just been released. This plugin allows Hollywood scripts to load all kinds of video and audio formats supported by FFmpeg. Version 1.6 is a minor update which contains some enhancements, bugfixes and support for the macOS arm64 and Linux arm64 platforms.

Version 1.6 of the AVCodec plugin is now available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3 (m68k, m881), AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, Linux (ppc, arm, arm64, x86, x64), macOS (ppc, x86, x64, arm64), Windows (x86, x64), Android (arm, arm64), and iOS (arm, arm64) are provided.

Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are proud to present the first plugin exclusively for Hollywood 11: Coderise It's called MP3Enc and allows scripts to use the new sound export interface introduced with Hollywood 11 to encode sound streams as MP3s. Constant and variable bitrates as well as certain quality settings are supported. It's also possible to directly record audio data as MP3 now.

The plugin is available for free download from the official Hollywood portal. Thanks to Hollywood's cross-platform plugin system versions for AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, MorphOS, WarpOS, AROS (x86), Linux (arm, arm64, ppc, x86, x64), macOS (arm64, ppc, x86, x64), Windows (x86, x64), Android and iOS are provided. Hollywood 11 is strictly required.

Note that on AmigaOS 3 it's highly recommended to use the FPU version of the plugin because otherwise MP3 encoding will be very slow since the MP3 encoder used by the plugin is heavy on floating point operations.

After almost 3 years of development Airsoft Softwair, the hardest working men in code business, are back on your screen to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 11: Coderise. Hollywood is a programming language that can be used to create a wide variety of programs, ranging from games and GUI-based applications for desktop systems to mobile apps for Android and iOS. Hollywood's special feature is its support for retro platforms (e.g. AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS) and modern operating systems (e.g. Windows, macOS, Linux) alike. It comes with a library of over 1000 commands and its functionality can be extended further through over 30 plugins which are available for free download.

Hollywood 11: Coderise is a massive update with lots of new features, optimizations and bug fixes. The most important new feature is that Hollywood 11 finally introduces a modular build system which will only link the libraries actually required by a script to the compiled program. This can drastically reduce executable sizes and is especially important on Amiga systems where memory is often limited. Hollywood 11 finally makes it possible to compile programs that fit on a single 880kb disk and run on a vanilla A1200! The new modular build system is made possible by a brand-new subsystem called Miniwood which, in contrast to Hollywood, allows scripts to only link the libraries actually required by the script to the output executable. Using Miniwood doesn't only have advantages for Amiga users but also for users of other platforms: For example, if scripts don't decide to load the display library, the program will also work on systems without X11, e.g. on pure terminal servers which was previously impossible.
