New release of Media Player 6.4

gabest · 24th July 2002, 20:09

Rewritten from scratch, enjoy: http://vobsub.edensrising.com/get2.php/mplayerc.rar

Don't forget to report bugs, crashings, etc.

p.s.
Because it is only a test version, there is a 5min time limit, sorry

This looks pretty cool. Just the player I am looking for.

When I open a file though it freezes before it starts. I press stop and then start and it plays fine.

Oh and when do you plan on releasing a version that is not limited?

ARDA · 24th July 2002, 23:40

I've just made a short test with an ogm and all was right. At first I could not manage correctly the selection of languages and subtitles but finally I've got it. The only thing I can mention that it crash if I try to close the player without stopping it before. Once more thanks for all your tools. Waiting for a new release.

Thanks for testing it, I'm trying to fix those misterious problems. It seems to behave differently on every computer

Time limit will be there until there are serious problems with it. This should prevent ppl spreading it too far.

Gabest,
I tried to get a copy to test but the link above didn't work. Any other way I can try a copy?

Hehe, I've just removed it a few hours ago, and the release version hasn't been copied onto the download server yet.

Until then try http://vobsub.edensrising.com/get2.php/mplayerc6401.rar

Gazza · 27th July 2002, 07:24

Bad timing on my part. Anyway I will download and give it a test.

ARDA · 28th July 2002, 01:43

I've tested again the new release with the same ogg (ogm);no
crashes when I close it without stopping.

Sources: Do you know any open-source player for windows?
Well, I don’t... May be later.

Of course you needn't at all release your source code.You
have already shared your work with your filters,but it would
be so funny to see....I'd better stop here.Thanks again for
your great work.

gabest · 28th July 2002, 04:51

There is one simple reason for keeping the sources to myself. I don't want to be the only one who finds out something and sees his ideas appearing a little later in the other closed source players

Dark-Cracker · 28th July 2002, 13:21

hi,

very nice work with your tool.i have found a little problem in fact i have create a .smil file with an interactive menu, but when i click on the video with the mouse , this pause the movie, could u add a little option that will disable the possibility (perhaps only if u opent a .smil file) to pause the movie by clicking on the screen. this will be great.

PS: i have tested the win2k and the winMe version and the 2 .exe file start on winXP why two version (compatibility problem)?

Sorry for my poor english.

bye.

I actually released some of the Zoom Player code and help out on programming forums. I even gave a few basic code stuff to competetive players in the spirit of sharing.

gabest · 28th July 2002, 17:54

Dark-Cracker:
- Could you send me a sample smil file? I have no idea about them.
- The 2kxp exe won't run under win9x, you can call it the "native" NT version. It would be a lot easier to only write the code for NT

Blight: I didn't want to hurt you or anybody else, I was just explaining what I feel.

gabest · 28th July 2002, 23:43

I found an smi file which has clickable items. For the first glance it seems impossible to allow both interaction and pause/play...

Shernand · 7th August 2002, 01:50

Very nice player Gabest, congrats

BTW, it would be great if you add this two really neat features

1) Option to use Default WaveOut Device instead of Default Directsound Device (to improve quality in 48000 hz clips with my old sound blaster awe 64 isa).

2) Option to use Cyberlink AC3 Decoder

Thanks again and best of luck

Ok

If you unregister all other ac3 decoder with higher priority, then the cyberlink filter will be used.

Btw, is there a way to enable 4/6 channel playback with that filter? Or is there some other reason using it over iviaudio? I'm just curious.

heldchen · 7th August 2002, 12:50

congratulations gabest, best player i've found so far. been using windows media player 6.4 for "years" now but dumped it in favor for MPc!

one feature i still miss tho (but haven't seen it in any other player either i must say): some movies have a low audio volume which makes watching them especially on notebook systems very hard. some kind of software audio volume amplifier would be awesome.

keep on the good work - vobsub & mpc rule!

Yusaku · 7th August 2002, 16:59

It should work with any player you like, including (my favorite) mpc

heldchen · 8th August 2002, 12:17

already tried that DeDynamic v.02 filter. no joy at all, it won't get loaded, neither in MP6.4 nor in MPC6.4.01... and yes, i've correctly registered the filter through regsvr32. its a pitty as according to other posts in the forum it would do exactly what i need: amplifying the audio :/

@gabest:
small bug:
"always on top" does not work correctly. if its checked and you close mpc, then open it again by playing a movie, the option "Always on Top" is checked but its not staying on top. you first have to uncheck and check it again, then it works...

gabest · 8th August 2002, 14:33

I checked that filter and it has a "do not load normally"

priority, so it won't get loaded until the player adds it to the graph.

"Always on top" bug fixed.

heldchen · 8th August 2002, 14:56

can you make an option to "load" one (or more?) filters that don't autoload in mpc? would be kinda cool i guess, for other filters as well...
