OS Detection

nikola23 · Postby **nikola23** » 10 Jun 2009 08:07

I added some code to the script on the front side that detects your OS.. currently it only detects that your running os x. I added a little code to have it check which version you're running so that when 1.0.0 comes out everyone running 10.4 wont be downloading an incompatible version... I could only test it on os x 10.4, 10.5 and windows vista though so someone might want to double check the logic.

Code: Select all

Can you send a patch against the website code?

nikola23 · Postby **nikola23** » 10 Jun 2009 18:34

http://pastebin.com/m643e4204 That's just against the original script itself... hopefully it's more readable because its all tabbed out and such this time.

Is that more along the lines of what you were asking for?

Postby **Jean-Baptiste Kempf** » 12 Jun 2009 00:06

No, I have no time for this.

Please patch source code of website:
http://svn.videolan.org/listing.php?rep ... deolan.org_

@nikola23: This is probably the file you want to patch (in addition to index.php perhaps):
http://svn.videolan.org/filedetails.php ... ecific.php
