I have just created an AUDIO_TS folder with dvda-author, and your tiny player worked fine. Still have to test it on higher samplerates than 44.1kHz, and on MLP tracks as well. Yes, the UI still needs to be improved (but not very much, displaying the groups of tracks in a playlist window would be more-than-adequate for my preferences) — but hey, a non-bloated standalone DVDA player is what I've been looking for since many moons ago. Nicely-done job, sir! Again, |

So, new version is ready - 0.3a.
It does almost everything I need, so functionaly will not be changed deeply in new versions, only some bugs. Almost RELEASE. Enjoy! Now with remotes also Last edited by Shadson; 3rd April 2009 at 15:42. |

Well, when I click on the PAUSE button, and then click NEXT or PREVIOUS, the playback mode "inevitably" returns <-- I see this as a design flaw. Not to mention that sometimes the player shuts down just after a click on NEXT or PREVIOUS ...
Besides, a seeking bar ( or the REW + FF buttons ) would be a nice feature ( and quite useful too ). For last, as you appear to feel that even a track list would be "too fancy", I humbly suggest that the window caption of ShaPLAY.exe could be a little more informative — for example, "Track 1.2.3 of 2.2.9" . Sincerely, Me, Myself and I. |

is there a way you could let us pick the audio renderer? so we could possibly use ASIO
I've forced ffdshow to connect to WaveOut only, and my MME drivers are bit-perfect so I should be fine. But apart from some RME/M-Audio/Audiotrak there isn't many soundcard w/ bit-perfect drivers AFAIK. and maybe someone could cook a nice GUI, anyway very nice app...major kudos! |

Still a "pre-beta"
OK, I have just converted an entire Audio CD into a regular AUDIO_TS folder with the help from dvda-author, and much to my tristesse, Shaplay.exe shuts itself down after one PAUSE click on the first track and one click on the button NEXT. Definitely there should be independent buttons for pause and playback; besides, STOP should mean "stop", and not "prepare yourself for another album, or to quit". Not to mention that a volume control is a must-have for any minimally-decent audio player.

- What kind of OS, - AUDIO_TS folder as I understand, not disc in drive (or not?), - which DVDA (please attach testlog.log), - was it once or every time? - if you just leave it to play, will the track #2 start ok or also crashes? - try to get extended log file. Open shaplay.cfg and make a change in last string "ExtendedLogging=1". DO NOT CHANGE THE STRINGS' ORDER IN FILE OR EVEN LETTERS. PS: I don't think the volume control is "must have" |

AUDIO_TS folder on the HDD; Test folder from ripped Audio CD already deleted, using another one now; if I leave it to play, it will play Track 01, Track 02, Track NN, etc. ; but I rarely let my standalone CD player play all tracks from the beginning to the end, unless I'm listening to classical music; And here go the debug logs: Quote:

P.S.: I still think that a minimal functionality should have greater priority than being compatible with remote controls, media centers, and similar "bonus" features. 2nd EDIT: I have just disabled the option "Build complete DS graph", but the bug remains: Quote:

I'm lucky to have bitperfect MME/Waveout drivers, very few cards have them....so ideally if you could set an option to chose the audio renderer(ASIO/WASAPI/Kernel Streaming) or simply WaveOut this would be really great. when you listen to 24/96(or better 24/192) DVD-A, the last thing you wanna have is KMixer butchering your audio to 48KHz |

Regarding the buttons, and in order to avoid possible "navigational bugs" with uncompressed audio, I suggest the window of Shaplay.exe should contain these ones:
PREVIOUS (@: queue) PLAY (@: selected track) RESUME (@: paused track) PAUSE (@: track being played) STOP (@: all tracks) NEXT (@: queue) EXIT (@: current album) @ Shadson: if neither a volume control nor a seeking bar are a "must-have", then why the heck an EJECT button should be a "nice" feature ? P.S.: Unless you decide to drop your apparent fixation with "autostart" and "looped playback", I'm afraid your .AOB player cannot avoid becoming just another half-a§§ed application.

I took a look into WASAPI/Kernel Streaming - sorry, it will be too complex to implement ant take a lot of time. BUT! Try to install and use ReClock - it supports Kernel Streaming, but ShaPLAY will call it like generic DirectSound Renderer. At least, it works on my machine, but I can not test is it bit-perfect output or not (my note has only Realtek HDA chip).у With ShaPLAY 0.3 you have to: - install ReClock - set settings in it for loading as default - in ShaPLAY choose WaveParser and _uncheck_ BuildFullGraph. After starting playback you have to see icon of ReClock in tray. Unfortunately ReClock will now always be called as a renderer for all other applications, but in ShaPLAY 0.4 you will have possibility to type GUID of ReClock in сап file and not to set it as default, just install - ReClock will be used this case only in ShaPLAY. Sorry if it will not help or if it is not the solution you want to have. Last edited by Shadson; 11th April 2009 at 09:44. |
