Software News   Software News : Hollywood 6.0: Epiphany out now
   posted by softwarefailure on 22-Feb-2015 11:48:54 (7376 reads)
Three years after the release of Hollywood 5 Airsoft Softwair is proud to announce the immediate availability of Hollywood 6: Epiphany. Hollywood 6 is a massive update with a myriad of new functions. The most important new feature is the complete abstraction of the core components display, audio and DOS. These can now be completely replaced by plugins which opens up totally new possibilities. For example, it is possible to replace Hollywood's inbuilt display driver with a custom implementation now. A plugin, which uses this new interface to make OpenGL available to Hollywood, will be released shortly.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of new features in Hollywood 6:

- Complete abstraction of the display, audio and DOS core components
- Support for multiple monitors
- Support for OS-native menu bars
- ARM-Linux is now supported (e.g. for the Raspberry Pi!)
- Stand-alone versions of Hollywood for Linux and Mac OS X are now included
- Videos can be used as normal Hollywood layers now including all effects and filters
- Hardware-accelerated video playback on AmigaOS 4 with the new RadeonHD driver
- Full AmiDock support including animated dockies and context menus
- AHI driver completely rewritten: it no longer blocks the audio of other applications now
- Hollywood's IO implementation is ready for streaming now
- Script execution on AmigaOS is significantly faster now
- Support for multiple Xservers on Linux
- Massive extension of the plugin interface: its size has doubled!
- Support for HTTP upload and authentification
- Inbuilt vectorgraphics renderer for perfectly smooth antialiased shapes
- 300kb of new documentation
- New example scripts
- Standard library set encompasses almost 700 functions now!
- Lots of other changes, optimizations and bug fixes

Hollywood 6: Epiphany is the ultimate Multimedia experience and a must-have for all creative people. Hollywood is available on a CD-ROM and as a download version. Both versions include Hollywood builds for all supported platforms. If you order the download version, you will have to download an ISO image which you need to burn on CD-R then. If you already own Hollywood, you can buy a discounted upgrade version.

Hollywood is the ultimate bridge between all the different AmigaOS compatible platforms and the other three modern desktop systems, Windows, Mac OS, and Linux! Additionally, Hollywood also supports the Android platform. A truly unique feature is the ability to cross-compile native executables for many different platforms including: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, WarpOS, MorphOS, AROS (x86), Windows, Mac OS X (x86 & PPC), and Linux (x86 & PPC & ARM). You don't even have to own these platforms in order to compile executables for them. It's enough to run Hollywood on one of the supported platforms and then compile programs for all the others! Only Hollywood makes it possible. If you want to learn more about Hollywood, please visit the the official Hollywood portal which also has a forum for all questions concerning Hollywood.

All this makes Hollywood The Cross-Platform Multimedia Application Layer. Join the Multimedia revolution and get your personal copy of Hollywood 6: Epiphany now because life begins at 6.0!

There is a line in the press release:

- Script execution on AmigaOS is significantly faster now

It is not just a marketing slogan, it is REALLY runs my scripts almost THREE TIMES FASTER!

Bought it ofcourse one minute after informed the release

Haha.. impressive list of new features!

I'm really glad to see how Airsoft Softwair continues to improve Hollywood - to have something unique like this developed on/to amigaOS/morphOS in 2015 is just amazing!

Our Dental information-software developed using Hollywood/Designer is now the marked leading software of its kind in Norway. Recently we even bought the rights to the software of our only competitor, simply to put their software to rest :)

Being able to use amigas in development is great fun! I would urge everyone to support Hollywood / Designer

best regards

@FerruleMedia

Good to hear about your success.

Makes the time spent at the dentalwaiting room a bit more sooting, atleast an Amigaoriented company is profiting on my pending pain ;)

Sounds like a nice upgrade...

Now if someone would write a book on cross platform programming for beginners with Hollywood I would upgrade right away. But as I failed to get into using the previous version, mainly due to a lack of good guides and tutorials for beginners I will hold off on the upgrade for now.

Linux ARM and AROS support both sound really exiting and I will look forward to seeing existing software ported over to the Raspberry Pi (and other such low cost Linux devices).

I can see a lot of new interesting projects being created with £30 Raspberry Pi's and Hollywood, as together with a touch screen they should make a very cost effective and powerful interactive display platform.

cross platform programming for beginners with Hollywood


I am not sure what you mean by this sentence, but in case you have understood the thing wrong, I will correct you then.

There is no such separate thing as cross platform developing with hollywood.

Idea is that you make a program, as example the typical:
print("hello world)

And then you choose from menu options "Compile executable" after whcih you pick to which machine you wish to make that exe for.

Then Hollywood makes you that executable for that machine, and it is ready to be used.


So there is no separate cross development thing. You just make a program, and you can make executable from it to any supported machine.

Only exception to this is some plug ins. Like for example the MUI (Magic User Interface), since this doesnt exist for PC, Mac and Linux, you naturally cant compile executables for them with those commands.

However, once again, you make the code, and then you simply choose, AOS3, AOS4, MorphOS, AROS as platform to make your exectubale to, and Hollywiood will make a working executable out of your code for any of those platforms with your MUI code in it.
