That is a helluva job!!! A lot of thought went in to this! I like the ability to have password protected media. This coud be marketed as a business tool because of that alone! 8)

My only question is: Does disallow snapshots mean I cannot even press F10 in Paint Shop Pro 9 and get a screen capture? I wonder if it has been tested against netmaestros screensnap :wink:

(The PSP9 thing does NOT always work though... I suspect it is a redraw issue)

Yes, it is fully developed with PureBasic
(The PSP9 thing does NOT always work though... I suspect it is a redraw issue)
Can you make a screenshot of this issue?
And can you change under options the loglevel to Debug, and send me the logfile?

This function is limited at the moment, it only protect against mirror drivers and print keys.

VERY well done 8)

i consider to make this to my default player (using MP-Classic Homecinema atm)!
One thing is missing (at least for me .. but I guess many other want this too):
Streaming from an URL
a second thing missing is a
Context-menu in fullscreen mode (video) for some commands like playback functions and aspect-ratio

Bugs encountered so far:
I cannot add a playlist ... every time I enter a name (regardless what) i get the error "Name already exists"

I don't understand what you mean with that?
You can stream files from a URL.
Context-menu in fullscreen mode (video) for some commands like playback functions and aspect-ratio
I know that, it is on my to do list.

oO, I don't understand this bug.
Can you change under options the loglevel to Debug, and send me the logfile?

Edit:
I found this bug, it was a very bad one, thx for reporting.

actually saw that this is on the features list .... :oops:

but then ... what kind of streams are supported?
I tried http://66.90.121.7:10013 which is a shoutcast radio stream ... didn't work

there is a file "listen.pls" at this url which contains the url:

Code: Select all

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://66.90.121.7:10013/
EDIT: bug (if so): Help->Update ... nothing happens ...

another feature request :
- REMEMBER the position of the window ... otherwise it's annoying :wink:
- a shortcut to fullscreen (i suggest CTRL-F)
- enumerating snapshots!
- a path selector for the snapshot-path
- remove the icons from the submenu of aspect-ratio ... and set a check-mark on the item which is currently selected ....PLEASE

another bug or two:

If the volume is set to i.e. 20%, you exit the program and start it again, i see at the slider that you'd remembered the 20% BUT ... the volume is set to 100% (or similar)

some of my movies are crashing the player.... the debug output = #null (nothing is printed)
After loading, the first frame is shown... then nothing .. the player is frozen for some seconds (20 or so) and then it seems no movie is loaded .... (if i press play, the open file dialog appears OR the player disappears ...)
I cannot upload such a movie as they are around 1 - 2 GB (I'd recorded them with my DVB-T Receiver ... but others do work - file format is mpg)

And a suggestion:
Editing a playlist is not very intuitive .. i had to doubleclick the name of the playlist ... may you can change this to a single click :)

I will try... :D Hang on a few I am at work and can't fire up the personal PC at the moment!

It would be a good feature if you could click a screenshot in your player! I wanna add a feature request for that! :D

ditto on making this my default player.

I'm finding difficulty playing a playlist (GP v0.6) - I can create them easily enough, but when I try to play them it just opens the dialog to create a new one. I also tried saving it to disk first, but GP returned "unknown media type" when I tried to reload it.

oh and a feature request: is it possible to override the power-options in windows (to turn off the screen) when playing media?
