MakeInstantPlayer v1.60 - Packaging MPlayer w/ Video Into Single Executable

[The Colostomizer]

I've heard that you can package MPlayer with a video/audio file into a single executable. Anyone know about this? How to do it, if it's even possible, anything?

I've made a small tool that can do this, maybe you like to give it a try:

Look for "MakeInstantPlayer" download :cool:

[The Colostomizer]

Thank you very much, MuldeR.

Just wanted to ask mulder,

how do you change the default language in makeinstant player?
In most applications default language is english, not dansk.

example: if I do a package for a average joe friend of mine from Europe, common sense is that he'll be able to understand english, not dansk.

MakeInstantPlayer uses MPUI.
And MPUI will either load the langauge from MPUI.ini or detect the OS language at runtime.
As there's no MPUI.ini in the InstantPlayer package, it will always detect the OS language, I guess...

From recent posts about using ini files with MPC I'm a bit sceptic if that will happen with MPUI/MPlayer package.

FYI, my OS is english, so if MPUI detects OS language at runtime, then the first screen should be in english. That is not happening here :confused: .
Maybe you can change the default language in MPUI, or patch it to display english. That will be very much appreciated :) .

Thanks for the package, very nice for distribution.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Well, MPUI should detect your OS language, when can't load the setting from the INI file.
Unfortunately there seems to be a few problems with this feature :(

So I added a tweak to my 'MPlayer for Windows' installer, which will pre-select "English" when checked.
I can add a similar feature to MakeInstantPlayer. Give me a few hours for that...

That'll be great, thanks.
Can you add support for custom icon for the instant player ?
I've tried replacing the "movie" icon with a different one and it complaints about missing file.

Thank You, works very well :cool:

Just another small update:

The settings "parameters" and "language" will now work in preview mode too.
Furthermore the default logo has been slightly improved.

And no, this is not an April Fool's joke :D

[LoRd_MuldeR]

http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#instplay

MPlayer binary has been updated to SVN-r28126.

[Hubbabub]

It would be nice if you could add a audio boost option
-af volnorm=1
-af volnorm=2
-af volume=20:0

[LoRd_MuldeR]

-af volnorm=1
-af volnorm=2
-af volume=20:0

You can. What do you think the "Parameters:" edit box is good for? ^^

Note that you can enter whatever MPlayer parameters you want to have set initially there. For example:

-vo gl:yuv=2 -af volnorm=2 -vf scale=800:-2 -sws 9

(Tip: Use the "Preview" button to test your params before making the SFX file)

MakeInstantPlayer v1.31 (2009-05-07)
http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#instplay

This is a maintenance release. People that were using v1.30 are recommended to update to v1.31 now.
Also I added a readme (http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/docs/instplay_readme.txt) file, including a brief manual of the application and some info about MPlayer on Windows Vista.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

MakeInstantPlayer v1.32 (2009-05-08)
http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#instplay

Yet another update. I added a number of commandline arguments, so I thought this is worth a new release.
See the readme (http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/docs/instplay_readme.txt) file for details, please...

[b66pak]

thanks a lot...

See the readme (http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/docs/instplay_readme.txt) file for details, please...

I'm having trouble with the extra parameters. I can't get the /NOSPLASH option to work. No matter what, I keep getting the MPlayer splash screen before the player starts. Here is my command line: "/NOSPLASH -vo gl:yuv=2"

[LoRd_MuldeR]

It seems you are mixing things up!

"-vo gl:yuv=2" is a parameters for MPlayer. Such parameters can be specified inside the MakeInstantPlayer application, in the "Parameters" edit box.
But "/NOSPLASH" certainly is not a MPlayer parameter. It's a parameter that can be passed to the InstantPlayer executable created by MakeInstantPlayer.
For example: If you saved the self-running player to "C:\MyFooPlayer.exe", you could call it like this from the Start -> Run dialog:

"C:\MyFooPlayer.exe" /NOSPLASH

[OLEEG]

Sorry for my English.
Is it possible to make the parameters inside the MakeInstantPlayer application, in the "Parameters" edit box, to remove splash made in exe file?
Or reduce the time display splash.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Nope.

Or reduce the time display splash.

The splash screen will be displayed while temporary files are extracted. It's displayed as long as needed, not longer (nor shorter).

Not displaying the splash screen won't decrease startup time...

[betty78]

hi and first,thanx for ur usable program
a question.how can i use the exe file with a parameter ?
i mean ,suppose that the exe file is called 1.exe
i want to run this file in cmd as
c:\>1.exe 123
this 123 number is a password.if the password is not included in command,so the file should not be executed or not be executed properly
is it possible?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

There is no such feature implemented in MakeInstantPlayer.

I know this is over 2 years old now, but I was wondering if you ever supplied an un-installer for this program?

I installed it and tried it out for a while and it all worked perfectly thanks. However, I have no need for it now and would like to remove it. I can easily delete it from Program Files, but it is also embedded in the Registry.

I am running Windows XP.

Sorry for late reply. There is no un-installer, because there never was a "real" installer for this project.

Instead, I just used NSIS' zip2exe tool to create a self-extracting EXE from the ZIP file. There are no files "installed", except those extracted to the target directory. And there are no registry entries either.

So, you can simply delete the install folder and that's it :)

(BTW: I plan to make an overhauled version of this tool at some point in the future. It will probably be based on Qt and SMPlayer, rather than Delphi and MPUI then)

[WSC4]

And there are no registry entries either.

Unfortunately, that's not so.

I can't remember now, but it did install in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ or in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\. The key name was MuldeR. In there were references to MakeInstantPlayer with values.

It doesn't matter now. I combed the registry and removed all traces and also removed it from Program Files.

You are right, in a way. Even though the "installer" does not create any registry entries, the program itself will still store the settings, in the registry.

Just delete the following registry key and you should be fine:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MuldeR\MakeInstantPlayer

Not that it would be a big deal to keep those settings. It's probably less than a KB ;)
