Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Update: Version 1.7 is out now.

This version comes with mostly bugfixes.
Most noticable is a new pulley menu entry for youtube videos called "Load in ytdl" which tries to load a non playable youtube video url with youtube-dl (mostly usable for Vevo or other DRM using videos on Youtube). The Youtube Search (Webview) has been updated to offer a long press menu which allows you directly loading the clicked video in ytdl.
Also updated was the browser cache + speed (using the same tweaks from Webcat) and user interface which now shows a self hiding back button bar.
I added a new option in setting allowing you to set the default youtube quality. This might be handy for mobile usage as you can set it to use 360p only (which loads faster and seems not to trigger the buffering issue with gstreamer from the latest SailfishOS version).

Changes

• Fixed path of Android SD Card in advanced filemanager (Closes #12)
• Fixed errorBox background not visible
• Added "Load in ytdl" menuitem in pulley menu of video player
• Some performance tweaking for latest SailfishOS versions
• Move error Text and busy indication to global ApplicationWindow
• Use ytdl best format by default for "Load in ytdl"
• Updated internal youtube-dl helper (2016.12.12)
• Set rewind to 5 seconds by default (as requested by ajalkane*on TMO)
• Added new docked panel for back button in webview
• Removed unnecessary code from webview
• Added long press touch event detection in userscript
• Implemented contextMenu for allowing opening stuff up with ytdl or*normal on long click
• Hide back button panel when on bottom of webview
• Use https youtube urls
• Sync keyboard shortcuts for ffwd and rew with onscreen buttons
• Allow setting default youtube quality

You can get the rpm from openrepos:

A short video demo will be uploaded to my youtube channels SailfishOS Playlst

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

thanks great update ( and you actually satisfied my feature request expressed in reagatta topic :) )

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Where do I find the setting for the youtube quality? I have 1.7 installed but there is no setting that I can find to set to 360p on my Jolla C?

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

It should be in the bottom right corner.

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Yes that there for individual videos, but watching the youtube video of 1.7 there should be a setting in the application settings to change the default quality. When I go in to settings, that option doesn't appear. :(

EDIT: ah, nevermind.. found it. you have to select "Load Defaults" in the top menu for that option to then appear. Move along people.. nothing to see here!. :)

Update: 1.8 is out now.
Only change is visual design fix for the big SailfishOS 2.1 (Qt 5.6 Update)

If you don't have 2.1 yet please don't update as it might otherwise break the visual design for you.

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Hi,

Sometimes, usually after pausing, a local video will 'lock up' and I just a spinning wheel. Once this happens, it seems that I can't play any local video until I've rebooted.

I just wondered, is there a process I can kill or a service I can restart to save having to do a complete reboot?

Many thanks

Update: Version 1.9 is out now.

This update improves the advanced and simple filemanagers. Both support now cut, copy and paste. Removing directories recursively is also now working.

Changes:

• Added cut, copy and paste for advanced filemanager
• Added cut, copy and paste for simple filemanager
• Use InfoBanner for error reporting in simple filemanager
• Added path to headerTitle description in simple filemanager
• Added option to remove directories recursively (advanced and simple filemanager)

You can find the RPMs as usual on openrepos.net

@moodroid

Not sure what the issue is. I have sometimes some videos paused for a day (some long podcasts or music) and they'll work fine resuming playback by hitting play.
SailfishOS 2.1.2 will bring a new gstreamer version fixing issues in regards to remote media (streams like youtube streams for example). Maybe it fixes the issue for you too

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Thanks for your continued support of this nice video player.

The warning to not upgrade until one is running SFOS 2.1 still applies here, right?

Re: [WIP] LLs Video Player
 

Exactly
