Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Hi
I had buy N900 for few days.
Luckily I had succeed installed both Mplayer+ SIB.
May I ask a stupid question that:
1./ What is advantage when we launch mplayer via sib with specific parameters.
2./ How to do this?
3./ Can I play subtitle with separately file .srt?
Thanks
Yin

I just have a problem using sib player. When ever i am forwarding or reversing the movie the voice and the video is not symetric. The video is coming before and the voice is coming with some delay.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

You can adjust the audio delay (default 100 ms, I believe.)

See the application description. I can't recall what buttons you use.

1. Ability to launch mplayer with higher soft volume, different aspect ratio so that it will play any videos stretched and filling the whole screen. (even if it looks a bit weird, I sometimes prefer the bigger video) Ability to tweak video playback settings etc.

2. You can do it from xterminal by using the mplayer via CLI. But not from SiB gui.

3. I believe so. Haven't tried it myself. I know smi files work however. So if all fails, just use a converter to convert srt to smi.

Is plastik still working on this? I'm looking for a new version linked against the PR1.2 QT libraries, as I'd like to get the libqt4-maemo5 libraries off my N900 (and they'll be disappearing from the repositories soon).

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

I wouldn't say that I'm working on it but I plan to release a new version next week that links against the PR1.2 Qt libs. That should also make it possible to finally move SiB to extras-testing :-D

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

SiB 0.0.5-2 now depends on the PR1.2 Qt libs and is available from the extras-testing repository.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Thanks. Any plans for enhancements? :D

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Plans, yes but not sure when I'm going to work on it :p

Besides of being lazy there are also reasons for not extending the program.

I thought about creating an extended settings page to control the mplayer settings (by writing the ~/.mplayer/config file) but I'm not sure if that's really necessary. I believe the default mplayer settings are just right and only few users do really need to modify them. And they do get excellent support in this forum :). Did I mention that SiB stands for simplicity is beautiful? :p
