I can give you some information about why I keep saying it's coming, it's coming...
So here's my timeline of how I've been working on this software. The main feature, ffmpeg integration, really only runs on *nix. I had to figure out how exactly to install it on windows. Once I got it installed I have to be able to support it with both, windows and *nix. This has caused much more of a problem than I had anticapted. I spent a whole week and a half on just getting it installed and working on windows.
I had to re-write a bunch of the front end as well. I wrote a new database class which helps with the stripping of slashes out of the database. I had to find a few bugs issues and figure out how to fix them. It's not exactly the easiest thing to do trying to replicate a bug. I then started more work on the backend. As I moved on towards the front end I realized I'm missing a few things within the admin area. I had to redo a bit of the admin area in order to get it all working.
Every file on the front end has been recoded already and is ready to go. Nearly half the backend is done as well. This includes me recoding every file and making it work much better.
One of the biggest issues I saw in the backend was the ability to not save information at the same time. Meaning, settings, you had to do these one by one. I had to recode that so that it would properly work without any issues. This took quite a bit of time with testing and figuring out exactly how I wanted it.
I'll be honest with you, when I first stated that it will be in the next version I was not exactly working on it as religiously as I am now. Trust me, if you see the amount of work going into this you would understand why it's taking so long.
I also do not give an ETA as often times I will run into an issue which will give me problems. I expected to have it done, released and ready to go by now, but obviously it's not.
On top of all this, I have to make sure I document each change in order for the install / upgrades to work properly. :)
Here is my original todo list:
- Display Added Dates
- Download
- Ability to not allow guests to download
- User Uploads
- Report Videos
- Email to Friend
- Ratings
- Search in Admin
- "N" Issue
- Display Who Added
- .MOV in IE (http://www.humorsoftware.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92)
- Admin / Frontend cookies.
- Search pagination.
- Drop downs in IE
- Contact Page
- Height and Width for each file
- Banner Specific Codes
- Banner Manager
- ffmpeg Integration
Some of these features have been put off but many area already done as well.
