SMPlayer - a new frontend for MPlayer

[fastplayer]

With that option set to false, the playlist is not saved to the config file, but it won't delete the remaining info there could be already there. You have to delete yourself.
No biggie! I just deleted the "playlist_contents" category and all is OK. I was just wondering why an entry was left.

About the problem with "directx," I'll check it later (I'm on linux now). BTW, could you copy the mplayer log when you use "directx" (without the comma)?
I remember the option "Repaint background of the video window" from the previous version 0.6.2. If I disabled it, it had the same effect as the issue above: blank screen. I can't find this option in the preferences anymore. Maybe it is set to disabled in the smplayer.ini itself?

Edit: OK, my last assumption doesn't make much sense because then "-vo directx" itself would show a blank screen too...

I found the problem. If using "directx," smplayer doesn't pass mplayer the -colorkey option... Horrible bug indeed :(

I didn't realize of it because I compiled and tested it on a windows xp running on a virtual machine inside linux. There it worked.

I noticed that too after I diff'ed both logs but I wasn't sure what to think of it... :confused:

I've just uploaded an update: smplayer-portable_update_svn_1903.7z (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smplayer/windows/smplayer-portable_update_svn_1903.7z).

Could you test if it works ok now?

I removed the smplayer.ini before extracting the update in order to start with a clean profile. I changed not one setting and immediately opened a video file which played back correctly. The MPlayer log indicated that the "colorkey" parameter was added to the command line. :)

Version 0.6.3.1 (release for Windows only)

This release includes a fix for an important bug in 0.6.3 which affected the version for Windows: the video window would be black on the first video played, or always if the user opened the preferences dialog before playing a video. In those cases "directx," was used as video driver but the -colorkey option was not passed to mplayer producing the problem. Windows Vista probably wasn't affected by this bug, as it uses a different video driver as default.

rvm,
Issues in SMPlayer svn-r2030 (XP-SP3, NVidia, mulder's full package, GL/fast output):

- When the video is restarted (after preference changes, if reloaded while set to "remember settings", etc), a custom aspect ratio is restored at the menus but is not applied to the video.

- When I set middle mouse click to "show equalizer", it didn't work.

- Sometimes, maybe due to mplayer bugs, certain preferences changes through the menus (certain filters, etc) may cause mplayer to stop playing. In such cases, the bad menu option cannot be turned off because the menu is disabled (video not playing). It's even worse if the "remember settings" is checked in the preferences because it automatically applies the "bad" option, aborts the playback, menu gets disabled, and no way to disable the option without unchecking "remember " and reloading the video. I suggest to enable the menus even if the video isn't playing, such that changes can apply to the next playback.

As always, beautiful front end :), keep up the good work!

[fastplayer]

Can somebody reproduce this?

Click on a menu like "Help" or "Options", then move the mouse across the menu items into the video output area, move it back to the opened menu. Do that back and forth. The mouse cursor will disappear at some point when pointing inside the video output area.

Confirmed. My case is even simpler: just open one of the menus and move the cursor to the video area -> cursor disappears (tried with output GL and GL(fast))

Thanks for confirmation!
I'm using DirectX output and yes, I can reproduce the behavior you described but it's not consistent. Most of the time I have to move the cursor a couple of times between menu and video area but sometimes the cursor disappears immediately.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

But it only disappears when moving the cursor over the video area. Moving it back onto the menu makes it re-appear.

I'll try to find a fix for this. Meanwhile there's an easy workaround, just disable the "remember settings" and open the video again. After that you can enable "remember settings" again.

Thanks. And for quoting my workaround ;)

OK, I didn't try it with many files, just with the ones I actually needed this feature for (I capture to 572x288 and the a.r. should be 4:3) and it didn't work for them. It does seem to work with other files.

I'm attaching a video snippet of the problematic file (format?). If you still can't reproduce it, I'll upload the log files.

BTW, because this video is so short, there's an easier way to reproduce this issue: start playing, pause if you need to, change to 4:3 from the menu, let the playback finish, click play --> not in 4:3.

thx again.

Normally smplayer sets the aspect ratio (and other things, like subtitles, audio track...) just after the video has started to play, all important info is printed by mplayer before.

But this file starts to play a little bit before some of the info (resolution, video driver) is printed by mplayer. That confuses smplayer.

Maybe you video has a few ms at the beginning with audio only?

Changing the demuxer from avi to lavf fixes the problem with this video.

Edit: the video doesn't have this problem if using mplayer r27130. So maybe newer versions introduced a bug (or a fix)...

Edit 2: another strange thing in the video, the movie aspect is 2.00:1, if you are creating these videos, why don't you set the aspect to 4:3?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

rvm, what exactly does "dxlist.exe" do and what do we need it for?

Or in other words: Shall I include it in my package or not? I can't see any problem with excluding it :confused:

[rvm]

There's a document in the sources which explains:

dxlist is a small console application for Windows which can list the
directsound devices and directdraw display devices. This info is then used
by smplayer.

Usage: just run dxlist.exe with the -d or -s switches. -d shows the display
devices, -s the sound devices.

Compiling: in order to compile it you need the directx headers
(you can get a package here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/dx7headers.tgz), and
extract it in the directx folder. Then just compile it with the usual:

qmake
make

Installation: dxlist.exe has to be installed on the same folder as smplayer.exe.

Someone may be wondering... why don't you just simply call mplayer to get that
info instead of writing this program?

Yes, mplayer can display that info, but there are several inconveniences:

1) it's necessary to use the -v switch. That makes mplayer to be much more
verbose, that could even have an impact on performace (at least that was
a problem with old versions of Qt)

2) it's necessary to play a file. Yes, you can't get the info if you don't
play a file. That's a problem, smplayer wouldn't be able to get the info until
the user has at least played one file.

3) even worse, to get the info about the attached displays, you have to
use the -adapter option, but how can you know what value to use for
-adapter if you don't know yet the list of valid values?

Because of those problems, I found easier to try to get that info using other
ways. This program just outputs the required info, no need to play anything,
smplayer can call it whenever it needs it.

Finally, the reason to implement all this in a separate program and not inside
smplayer itself (which would have been easier) is just simply to avoid it
to depend on directx, and require everyone who want to compile it to install
the directx headers. After all this (dxlist) program is optional, smplayer
can work without it.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

There's a document in the sources which explains:

I see. Thanks for the info :)

That's what I wanted to clarify :D

regarding A/V delta, could be, it's captured with virtualdub and ffdshow. The relevent vdub options are left at default "auto a/v sync" or something similar. I didn't intentionally create this skew if there is one.

Can one choose lavf demuxer from the options? if not, how?

Could also be an mplayer bug of course, or vdub bug. But I think vdub is usually very "correct" with the file it outputs. mplayer is considered very robust too... but playback before it outputs certain parameters seems a bit strange. dunno.

regarding the manual capture aspect ratio, already tested earlier while trying to find a solution for my problem, it worked (initially ffdshow encoder was left at the default of PAR 1:1, I had to manually set the output display aspect ratio of ffdshow encoder to 4:3), it definitely is the correct way to handle this and I'll probably set my cap params this way now, but I was just reporting an incorrect behavior of the playback using SMPlayer.

[rvm]

Can one choose lavf demuxer from the options? if not, how?

Options->View info and properties->Demuxer. But this only affects the current video.

There's also a way to change the demuxer for all videos, add -demuxer lavf in Preferences -> Advanced -> Options for mplayer -> Options, but then lavf will be used for all formats and it may not be suitable for some of them.

[avih]

K, thx. Do you think this kind of video might also "confuse" SMPlayer in other aspects (pardon the pun)?

[rvm]

Apart from the aspect ratio issue, I don't see any other problem.

Version 0.6.4 released.

Most important changes since 0.6.3:

* Now the dialog to find subtitles can also download the subtitle file and load it in smplayer automatically.
* (Linux) The black screen problem when using Compiz should really be fixed now.
* Added support for encoding autodetection for subtitle files. Requires a mplayer compiled with enca support.
* (Linux) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with alsa (needs the application "aplay").
* (Windows) Now it's possible to choose the audio device to be used with dsound.
* (Windows) The menu Video->Screen displays now the actual available screens with their names.
* Added the possibility to add consecutive files (video_01.avi, video_02.avi..) automatically to the playlist.
* Bugfix: logout is not cancelled by smplayer.
* Now the options in preferences display a tooltip with a help message.
* Now it's possible to change the video track.
* Added the Galician translation.

rvm, is there any chance to fix Drag&Drop for the OpenGL renderer on Win32 ???

Not being able to use Drag&Drop in fullscreen mode (and only outside the video area in windowed mode) is a bit nasty, although it's definitely not the end of the world ;)

(AFAIK the problem is that the GL renderer is using it's own window, but doesn't forward window messages, such as WM_DROPFILES, to the front-end app)

[Reimar]

(AFAIK the problem is that the GL renderer is using it's own window, but doesn't forward window messages, such as WM_DROPFILES, to the front-end app)

No, not quite. Qt (which SMPlayer uses) uses the OLE drag-and-drop method, so WM_DROPFILES is not involved and supporting it does not help.
Luckily I was stupid and there is a much easier way than forwarding messages: set the window to disabled, which also works for Drag-and-Drop.
So unless I once more messed up my testing this is fixed in MPlayer SVN r27904.

I got a feature request for SMPlayer:
When I do "+" -> "Add file(s)" in the playlist window and select a ".m3u" playlist file, then import&append the playlist to my current playlist.

At the moment it will add the ".m3u" file as a single item to the playlist, so it won't play at all :(

:thanks: in advance!

[rvm]

I think I forgot to announce the changes in version 0.6.5:


Most important changes since 0.6.4:

* The subtitles when using the SSA/ASS library can now be further customized. It's possible to select the font, size, colors, bold, italic, outline, shadow...
* (Linux) Now smplayer tries to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification for the config files. That means the now the configuration files will be saved under the directory $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/smplayer (or $HOME/.config/smplayer if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined). If you want to keep your preferences, copy or move the files from $HOME/.smplayer to the new location.
* Added some options in Preferences->Interface to configure the floating control.
* The commandline option -ini-path has been removed and replaced with -config-path, which specifies the directory where smplayer will store its data (not only smplayer.ini).


And these are the changes in the new version 0.6.6:

Most important changes since 0.6.5:

* Added an option to generate a preview (thumbnails) of the video.
* Added a new gui (mpcgui, a media player classic clone) developed by Matthias Petri.
* Added some auto zoom options, to display the video without black borders.
* Implemented a new (and optional) method to save the file settings. This method uses an ini file per each played file. It's faster than the old one.
* Added a new option in Preferences->Video: add black borders on fullscreen. If this option is enabled, black borders will be added to the image in fullscreen mode. This allows subtitles to be displayed on the black borders.
* Increased the resolution of the seekbar. Allows a more accurate seeking.
* Added 3 modes for the stay on top option: always, never and while playing.
* Added a history to the open URL dialog.
* Added new action to cycle through all aspect ratios. Assigned by default to key "A".
* It's possible to run some specified actions every time a file is loaded.
* Possibility to set up a proxy for internet connections (used for subtitle downloading).


Currently there's only available an update package:
smplayer_update_0.6.6.7z (ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/smplayer/windows/smplayer_update_0.6.6.7z)

[Unity]

A fantastic mplayer gui !

The new mpc skin is really nice too :)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thank you rvm :thanks:

I noticed one small cosmetic error with the MPC GUI: If you press the "play" button again while it's already pressed (lowered) it will become un-pressed (flat) again.
There is no effect though, so the media will keep on playing...

BTW: Happy new year !!!

Question:
can smplayer take a screenshot of a video and put it in the video's folder (like using some kind of option: use video's folder for screenshots)?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Question:
can smplayer take a screenshot of a video and put it in the video's folder (like using some kind of option: use video's folder for screenshots)?

Answer: Yes.

(Use the "Video" -> "Screenshot" function to take a screenshot. Also note that the screenshot directory can be configured in the "Preferences" window)

[tekNerd]

No, I know that it can take screenshots, I just want to know if it is possible to have as screenshot folder the video's corespondent folder, not a global screenshot folder.
And another thing: is it possible to save the screenshot with the video file's name?

[mhj911]

a little issue, because I have no real decode file drvc.dll, so when I play a rmvb video, smplayer have no video image, some menu about video are disable status, it is normal. I click 'stop' button to stop playing this video, then copy 'drvc.dll' to 'codecs' folder under mplayer folder. I continue click 'play' button to play this video. smplayer display video image, but status of those menu about video are not updated. if I choose open this video again, those menu is ok.

check VIDEO_CODEC whether is null to decide whether have video, then to update those menu status.
VIDEO_CODEC='';
if mplayer ouput 'ID_VIDEO_CODEC=codec_name' then VIDEO_CODEC=codec_name
if VIDEO_CODEC='' then HaveVideo=false else HaveVideo=true;
menu.enable= HaveVideo;

because version of mplayer, it don't play video but only audio without real decoder 'drvc.dll', it maybe can use ffrv40 to play a real video after update mplayer.

No, I know that it can take screenshots, I just want to know if it is possible to have as screenshot folder the video's corespondent folder, not a global screenshot folder.

No, it's not possible. Maybe I could add an option for that.

And another thing: is it possible to save the screenshot with the video file's name?

No. There was a patch sent to the mplayer-dev-eng mailing list which added support for that, but it hasn't been added to mplayer yet.

Maybe I can add that possibility in smplayer anyway, it would be just a matter of renaming the screenshot made by mplayer.

name of system font not always uniform with first font face name of font, so use fontconfig + font name, may not work. e.g. simhei.ttf display as '黑体' in list of system font， if use -fontconfig -font 黑体 ，it don't work, use -fontconfig -font simhei ,is ok. so I never use fontconfig, but directly use -font +font.

I have the following issue.

In Preferences -> File Types, when I click "Select None", all but the bin, divx, dv,iso, nsv and vcd extension disappear. Even when I uncheck the extensions manually and click "Apply" the boxes are automatically ticked again.

As a result only through Windows folder options in control panel is it possible to apply a different player.

What version of Windows are you using? (XP? Vista?)

[rvm]

a little issue, because I have no real decode file drvc.dll, so when I play a rmvb video, smplayer have no video image, some menu about video are disable status, it is normal. I click 'stop' button to stop playing this video, then copy 'drvc.dll' to 'codecs' folder under mplayer folder. I continue click 'play' button to play this video. smplayer display video image, but status of those menu about video are not updated. if I choose open this video again, those menu is ok.


Maybe you need to install the additional codecs package (smplayer_codecs_20071007.exe (http://www.mediafire.com/?jzlj6iw0wls) or windows-essential-20071007.zip (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/windows-essential-20071007.zip)). They are not included in the smplayer packages because of licensing problems.

[rvm]

New packages for Windows are available:

* smplayer_0.6.6_setup.exe (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smplayer/smplayer_0.6.6_setup.exe) (includes mplayer svn r28126 from this site (http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php))

* smplayer-0.6.6_without_mplayer.7z (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smplayer/smplayer-0.6.6_without_mplayer.7z)

* smplayer-portable-0.6.6.7z (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/smplayer/smplayer-portable-0.6.6.7z)

Hi.
I know SMplayer is only a frontend for mplayer (a very good one, the best), but I was wondering: to pass new settings does have to restart the mplayer everytime?
I understand for video or audio renderer or some other setting like that, but for a subtitle setting or just for going fullscreen?
Am I doing something wrong or this is the normal behavior?
Thank u.

[rvm]

Sometimes it's necessary to restart mplayer, but not always. Selecting a different subtitle track doesn't require to restart mplayer but if you change the font then it does. Going fullscreen doesn't require to restart mplayer (unless you have the option to automatically add black borders in fullscreen enabled).

[tekNerd]

I see.
Thank u for the help.

What version of Windows are you using? (XP? Vista?)

XP. But it wasnt such a big issue. Uninstalled and installed again and problem solved. Though now when I press select all, only m3u, m3u8 and pls extension are not ticked. Is it because another application locks the file type?

[rvm]

Probably, but I don't know. The file associations code was written by another person, so I don't know exactly how it works.

I experienced sometimes on Windows Vista that some of the extensions are disabled, so they can't be checked or unchecked, but I never had that problem on Windows XP.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I don't think file extensions can be "locked" by an application. Maybe Windows Vista itself doesn't allow certain extension to be associated with a custom application?

Also some applications install an "Agent" which will be running in the background all the time and re-associates the file extensions with their own application as soon as it's changed by another application.
