Mpc-hc?

[(*|*)]

no, only audio.

[namaiki]

For what purpose, or what would distinguish it from MPC-HC?

If all fails, you can use MPC-HC and set video renderer as null. :P

[Keiyakusha]

What is the point in using directshow interface when normal audio players able to work with all more or less popular formats/containers natively or with plugin?
Anyway, afaik there was DS input component for fb2k from haali. But not sure if it compatible with recent versions. It was made to support mkv but now player has native mkv support so component is outdated.

[Mark_A_W]

I also want a directshow based audio player which is capable of gapless/seamless playback of separate AUDIO tracks (other than WMP).

This is so I can use Reclock and Convolver Filter/Wrapper (Digital Room Correction).


Whether it plays video or not is kinda irrelevant.

And no, neither MPC-HC or Zoom Player will do what I want.

Foobar will play seamlessly, but it won't load the DS filters I want (AFAIK).


So no, the "normal" audio players do not work, for me, at least.

[Keiyakusha]

Foobar will play seamlessly, but it won't load the DS filters I want (AFAIK).

What do you mean? It will or will not load filters, and what filters used should be controlled by merits like everywhere else (and by new restrictions in win7 :P)

[Mark_A_W]

Foobar is not a directshow player.

Until you mentioned a "DS input component" above, I thought it was completely impossible.


Can you explain how the "DS input component" works?

[Astrophizz]

There is a convolver plugin for foobar2k. I'm not sure why you would want/need reclock for audio only?

[Mark_A_W]

The convolver plugin in foobar (which I'm using now), is very limited.

It only works for 2 channels, and 1 sample rate (the sample rate used to generate the convolved file).

I cannot play 6 channel 24 bit, 96khz audio for instance.

It works, as far as it goes, but it's very, very limited.


The Directshow Filter "Convolver", is far, far more flexible. It allows you to use a look up table, to match the number of channels and sample rate to a list of per channel impulse files. I can play 2 channel 44.1, 6 channel 96, or when watching video 7 channel 48, or 5 channel 96 - or any combination thereof.



Reclock is only necessary when using a directshow player, to get Wasapi playback. Foobar has Wasapi or Asio inbuilt, I guess that's ok. But I'm not comfortable with foobar in general, as I don't know what it does "under the hood" - if I play back a 24 bit FLAC file, does it stay 24bit all the way?

Using madFLAC and Reclock, I KNOW it is 24 bit all the way.

Gapless/Seamless playback?

[(*|*)]

I wasn't aware of that. :o

:thanks: for the information.

you're welcome


Gapless/Seamless playback?

what do you mean?

[(*|*)]

Only 1 standard (DirectShow), instead of multiple standards like Winamp, foobar2000 & other proprietary standards.
You can change anything you want, unlike other media players
All popular audio formats are available in DirectShow.
Using DirectShow filters as Winamp plug-in. (Like MPC-HC external filters.)

[(*|*)]

anyone interested?

[Mark_A_W]

you're welcome




what do you mean?


I mean, that if I have an album ripped to individual lossless flac or wma tracks, that it will play them continuously through without pause.

Windows Media Player and Foobar will do this.

Zoom Player and MPC will not.

i don't know

[Astrophizz]

A solution to that would be to rip the whole album as a single flac with a cue file. Well assuming the player can handle a cue file.

[(*|*)]

the ages of winamp & foobar is over.
video player modern hd only for video.
audio player modern hd only for audio.
only directshow multimedia framework.
no proprietary stuff.

Yes.

But it's too late now....

[(*|*)]

any programmer interested?

[clsid]

any programmer interested?
No. You asking for a square wheel when there are already perfectly good round ones available.

[(*|*)]

No. You asking for a square wheel when there are already perfectly good round ones available.

like what?

[clsid]

Several have already been mentioned in this topic.

You should realize that nobody gives a shit about the fact that you don't like them, certainly not when you come up with crappy arguments for doing things differently. A programmer is not suddenly going to invest a couple hundred hours of work without pay just to satisfy some random n00b here on the forum.

[Mark_A_W]

Yeah, I can't figure out if this thread is a request or spam for vapourware.

[leeperry]

anyone interested?
allow gapless, VST plugins(in 64bit float),volume attenuation(in 64bit float too), Reclock support....and we'll bite http://forum.slysoft.com/images/smilies/agreed.gif

Simple powerful audio player. 1 universal standard (DirectShow) for playback, DirectX plug-in support (Audio processing).

If you want a DirectShow media player, buy JetAudio (piss-poor performance with large media database) or use MediaPortal.

no, thanks.
i want a clean-light-audio-player only like foobar, but directshow player, not a proprietary audio player.

[ranpha]

Then you never use JetAudio then. Just like foobar2k (its Media Center capabilities) but can use DirectShow filters.

[(*|*)]

jetaudio is bloatware.

[namaiki]

0/10











.

[ranpha]

jetaudio is bloatware.

Spoken by someone who never use Jetaudio.

Its only drawback is that the software is payware, else it is just like foobar2k.

Or do you think foobar2k is bloatware too?

foobar is liteware.

[ranpha]

foobar is liteware.

Then JetAudio is also the same. It is very obvious you never use JetAudio.

there are 2 version:
basic version sucks.
plus vx is bloatware: Video encoding, MP3/mp3PRO encoding Pack, Special Sound Effect (BBE) Pack, Sound Pack, Enhanced Recording Pack, Application Pack.

jetAudio 8.0.6 Basic 32 MB Free
jetAudio 8.0.6 Plus VX 32 MB $29

the ages of proprietary standards is over.

Did you know that you can disable all those features?

And since when DirectShow has become proprietary standard anyway? Did I already said that Jetaudio is a DirectShow player?

And the basic version is still vastly better than AudioPlayer any day.

Ah BTW, please do not forgot that JetAudio, basic or not, is still a DirectShow player no matter how you look at it.

Again, exactly what, if any, is your involvement in this apparently stagnant project?

Are you the author/developer?

Are you the publisher?

Do you own the website?

Have you been asked by the developer to solicit help to further develop this product?

Etc...

i'll try jetaudio.

[leeperry]

Does JetAudio support gapless and VST plugins? I'll drop them an email :)

PS: they do crossfade hah: http://www.jetaudio.com/products/jetaudio/features_12.html

tested jetaudio.
jetaudio is %100 bloatware, just like winamp.

[iron2000]

I don't think Winamp is bloatware.
Its a very customizable and modular piece of software.
You can actually make it pretty minimal.

I would say Windows Live Messenger is bloatware but thats not an audio player.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Stop trolling ok?

Jetaudio, or Winamp for the matter, is not bloatware. WMP or iTunes, now that's bloatware.

[Midzuki]

I don't think Winamp is bloatware.

My FOOBAR2K folder contains 11,520,390 bytes.
During my pre-XP-SP3 days, my Winamp 5.35 directory contained over 35MB (default install).

You can actually make it pretty minimal.

Talking about Winamp 2.x ?

<!-- trolling snipped -->

Hi, It’s coming soon ;-). (mp3-hd directshow filter)

"Marketing is the art of lying". :devil: 2 channels @ 16-bit @ 48kHz maximum is not "HD" in my books. :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

This says guy who has probably 500 GB hard-drive ;)

[Midzuki]

Only 120GB, actually
(I'm still too old for accepting the SATA standard).

Anyway, tons of RAM and tons of HDD space are not
(and will never be) an acceptable excuse for inefficient coding.
In the 70s, if a programmer decided to tell his colleagues his
"prophetic dream" about a thing called "dot net artwork",
I bet he would be duly "eliminated" in less than 24 hours. :)
