Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Wow. Just saw the update to this!!
0.0.6-1 * added zoom and framedrop settings

I just tried a 4:3 ratio video with zoom option enabled.
It zooms the video to fit-wdith but the top/bottom is cropped due to it.
Is it possible to have fit-screen option as well? (both horizontal and vertical)

Framedrop option works as expected and is definitely handy with some of my demanding vids to ensure video syncs with audio.

Good to see you back working on this. My favourite frontend still by far. :D

Some other ideas/requests:
1. I regularly change folders and when I do, I lose all the resume times when I go back to the initial folder. Is it possible to save this information per folder basis and not reset?
2. Some of my file names are really long and it gets cropped in the list view. Is it possible to make them scroll sideways like a banner when selected?
3. Size column doesn't show the "MB" when the file is greater than 1000MB. It's really nothing but would look better if the column width was a tiny bit wider. =P
4. Maybe later on, we can have option to change backends? (such as vlcplayer)

Where can I find the new version jakiman ?

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

It's in extras-devel.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

I've installed the version 0.0.6 now, but the program still shows 0.5, when clicking on the info button.
And the videos are lagging like hell now, everything was running smooth before :/

//edit : unticked frame drop and it's running smooth now.
And the "zoom to fit the screen" function is really usefull, no black bars anymore finally.
But the programer really forgot to change the version number in the info tab.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Thanks for the feedback guys :)

Actually version 0.0.6 in extras-devel is work in progress and I will change some more things before promoting to extras-testing.

You mean you want to stretch the video? Should be possible.

Only files in folders that get completely removed from the scan list will have the resume position reset. SiB maintains a table of files with the resume positions and if a file is no longer visible to it then the entry gets removed from that table as a cleanup.

I'll think about it - maybe I'll add an option to the settings screen which keeps the file information.

I'll have to check...

Yep, I'll fix that.

Maybe later ;)

Yep - I will update it.

I just converted some 1080p 15mb/s bitrate to 800x480 1,5mb/s bitrate and its very asynchronous with SiB (Mplayer), but runs smooth with standard player and VLC.
Why is that ? Would really like to use Mplayer with SiB.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Did you try to adjust A/V sync with +/- keys?

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

800x480 h264 would bee too big for MPlayer. VLC and standard can decode h264 baseline on the DSP, MPlayer can not.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

That's sad :/
Gotta use VLC then, till mplayer gets an update.

Re: SiB - mplayer gui frontend
 

Why SiB doesn't show .m4v files ?
I can't name it .mp4, because VLC won't detect it then xD
