YAP (Yet Another Player) v0.9.5
YAP: Yet Another Player is a desktop application - media player. Targeted for use on computers running Windows OS to create a library of media files, playback them, and also view DVB broadcasts. The best effect from using a media player is achieved on media center computers in multi-monitor configurations and controlled by remote control.
Project home page links 0.9.5 changes Description Gallery Download Help and support Credits Big thanks to Shiandow for shader developing and image processing consulting. Notes If someone want/can help to improve this project, feel free to join in. What I think are the parts of a project that need to be addressed: - Shader developers. If you can implement some image processing algorithm or improve existing ones, YAP shader pack editor is a good place to start - Better graphics. Graphic designers can make YAP looks better. - Translators. If you want to see it in your own language, you can spend some time and translate it. - Ideas and suggestions about further improvements/features YAP miss/must have. - Testers. Are always needed and welcome. But if not, you can simply have fun with it. Last edited by Orf; 12th March 2019 at 13:23. |

Well, if i wanted to use this filter in your player, usually one has to add it in the player so it will use it.
http://www.dmitrirender.ru/ and there are others out there that one has to add manually because that is the only way to use them. MPC-HC and kmplayer have lav filters integrated into player so you don't have to install the separate package. Is that something you can do? |

@Milardo
The one by your link is a video renderer. This is different. Adding a video renderer required some testing and code changes. And the filter by your link is not a free one. As for the other filters, Yap will use them automatically, if DirectShow decide to load it to the graph. The same about LAV, it is not required for Yap to function, but LAV can be used (and I use it myself) if installed. I do not think Yap should install LAV automatically and force someone to use it. Also there's no support for capture and I do not even imagine how it should look like inside Yap. p/s Before implementing any new features, I plan to fix all bugs in current version and release version 0.7 |

As someone who often watches in window mode I appreciate the auto hiding of toolbars. In a brief test I noticed a few issues:
1. scrollbar thumbnail stuck on and couldn't figure out to remove it 2. Maximized window to fullscreen then back to window goes to a default size, expected maximized Some things it's missing that are important in a mediaplayer imo: a. pixel shaders b. auto play when media is opened c. large time display (second important thing on toolbar imo but usually one of the smallest) d. options to declutter the toolbar, the top line of toolbar is unnecessary imo, ditto with messages and status icon in lower left. e. tv tuner support (this is probably a lot of work) f. maybe an additional skin option or skinning support (default isn't ugly but some may prefer different looks)

Yes I meant toolbars and it's mostly ignored to auto hide and glad it's in YAP. I'm going to use numbers and letters to reply because there's no nested replies in this forum. Strict replying to your post wouldn't make any sense and manually nesting takes quite a bit of work.
1. Scrollbar thumbnail sticks for about a minute the first time for every video I've tried. Consecutive thumbnails go away as expected. 2. Going back to previous window state is what's common and expected. a. pixel shaders for sharpening for me b. ok then auto play from library would be welcome and is expected from a media player c. not the clock but the currrent timestamp and length of media playing, it's small, tough to see on tv's d. group toolbar is very confusing e. for a nicer gui and ability to use madvr, pixel shaders, etc. every pcr software I've used has an average gui at best and lacks a lot of ability f. ok, like I said it's not an ugly design imo but it's cluttered.

There's nothing wrong with the auto hide toolbars, I was praising it.
1. Open video, press play and hover the timeline, the thumbnail stays for a long time the first time, then it's normal. 2. OK a. I use madvr with Lumasharpening, MadVR alone even with Lanczos8 is still a pretty soft picture in most situations for me. b. No, I mean when opening a video it plays instead of having to press play c. 47" 1080p it's somewhat difficult to read, on a 1024x768 CRT it's unreadable. d. Confusing because there's 2 trackbars, I can see advantages of it in some cases though e. Yup, I said it was probably a lot of work in initial posting, I can understand not wanting to take it on I use Potplayer which has the capability to do all of this plus a lot more but apparently they use edited open source code for their closed source player which I don't agree with. I'm really open to changing players but have never seen alternatives offer half of what I demand from a player.

Changelog lists some positive changes but unfortunately I can't play anything with 0.7. Message is "Import completed, 0 files were added"

Strange, nothing was changed in the import. Normally such thing only can happen, when you import folder and no files with extensions listed under "Options/Supported media extensions" was found...

I tried YAP 0.8.5 (with anydvd hd) to play a blu-ray but unfortunately I failed, whatever I did. But as I'm not used to the interface, maybe I did something wrong. By the way, maybe more straightforward menu entries ("Play a file" and "Play a disc") would be a great addition to the player.
I tried first to import the mpls and the m2ts files of the movie to the playlist of YAP but it didn't work (i used BDinfo to know the correct files). So I used "import folder" to import all the blu-ray files and I succed to have all the mpls in the YAP playlist. I tried to play the main file but I had an error message ("SQLite: unknown error"). I tried also to run the menu disc and after a long time of running, I got a crash of YAP with this message: Using VLC I have the menus and the playback easily and with MPC I have the playback easily also. I tried with several blu-ray, I got each time the same result. I'm using Win 7 64x updated, YAP 32bit (because I plan to use reclock if I succed to use YAP) and the last version of LAV filters, Madvr, dsLibBluray and dsLibDVDNav |
