[Announce] Open Video Player
Announcing the initial test release of Open Video Player.
The purpose of Open Video Player: Some users have expressed dismay at the lack of features in the stock video player. The purpose of Open Video Player is to provide the features that are lacking in the stock video player, whilst maintaining a similar look and feel. The fact that it is FOSS will of course make further improvements easier. What additional features does it have? Features that are currently implemented are: 1. Playback in background (optional): Continued playing of videos whilst browsing your collection or viewing the details of a video etc. 2. Playback whilst minimised (optional): Continued playing of videos whilst the application is minimised. 3. Support for auto-rotation, fixed landscape and fixed portrait modes. 4. You can add videos to the playback queue as well as play a single video. 5. Additional controls in the playback toolbar. 6. An option to use smaller thumbnails. 7. Sorting of videos by date (asc or desc) or title (asc or desc). 8. Theming options. Other feature requests are welcome. That's the purpose of OVP. :) Installing OVP will not change any settings regarding the stock video player. I have not changed any MIME-type associations. It works alongside the stock video player just as any other application. Both the .deb package and the source code are available from https://projects.developer.nokia.com/ovp/wiki/Downloads Some screenshots: http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/2...1202413.th.png http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8...1202500.th.png http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/556...1202441.th.png http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/252...1202751.th.png http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/7...1202805.th.png http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/7...1202821.th.png http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/5...1202524.th.png http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4...1202946.th.png Demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY9znLsRbSs UPDATE: Version 0.0.4 now available Changelog: * Added option to lock to landscape orientation when viewing videos. * Added optional marquee text in video delegates. * Now using filenames rather than embedded titles for videos. * Fixed error in displaying playlist video details. |
Re: [WIP] Open Video Player
Wow! Cool! I know one of the most anticipated features the stock player are missing is DLNA. So it would be cool if that was a possibility. Another idea would be to try make it as light as possible by giving it extensive plugin capability.
I saw another project where QR-codes where used to redirect playback from N950 to TV and then back again... that would be a cool feature to have. Anyway.. love you work so far. ;) |
Re: [WIP] Open Video Player
Thanks for your great work.
Which backend are you using? Could it be backported to Maemo? |
Re: [WIP] Open Video Player

Re: [WIP] Open Video Player
This is great news. Thanks for all this work.
What I would like you to concentrate on is the video playback and its usability around it. I don't think the metadata, video sharing etc is that important as that's already in the stock player. What I really want is a better video "player" for people who watch a lot of video files on their N9. (a fine example is actually the stock video player of SGS2 or the old 7" Galaxy Tab) Such as: 1. Resume capability (maybe even multiple bookmarking support) 2. Easy seek/skip buttons for forward/back. (specific intervals such as 5 or 10 second etc) Even possibly using the physical volume buttons as forward and back of a specified interval. (and have touch volume control bar on the screen instead) This was sooooo handy with mplaer on N900 as it could use arrow keys for 10 seconds or 1 minute skips. 3. Smaller thumbnails so I can see more videos on the list at once. Like a grid of 2 columns and 4 rows etc. 4. Option of HW decoding or SW decoding. (e.g. via long press of video to get option to do SW decoding using mplayer etc) 5. Option to specify only a specific directory or directories for the videos. (like SiB in N900) and even option to include or exclude its subdirectories. 6. Brightness control within the player and to be able to lock it down independent of the system brightness level. 7. Child lock activated via power button. (this is one of my favorite features of stock video player on Samsung Android phones) Just tap power button while playing to make it unresponsive to any touch/swipe/volume keys until power button is tapped again to unlock) 1,2,5,7 are the real important ones for me. Would make the N9 a much better video player. =) |

Re: [WIP] Open Video Player
Awesome!
Just a question: is your player working when started from menu? Because I have tried to play with QML video element, but it works only when started from QtCreator, than it gives me setup_buffers: couldn't allocate buffer: not-linked. Thanks for your effort. |

Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
Wait. Communication from a developer... and it's a project I can fully get behind and use daily?
Wow. Great work Marxian. I've already been impressed by your prior work, but this answers a question I didn't even know I had with an application that I pretty much needed. |
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
which kind of format video to support???
|
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player

Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
Is UPnP support something that would be possible to build into this?
|
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
@marxian
THIS PLAYER IS MEGA AWESOME!!!! (had to shout) Amazing work marxian. Made the N9 much better for me. =) Now what I need: :p 0. I need persistent resume support. OVP currently does not. (stock player does even after reboot) 1. Specifying of video folders. 2. Brightness control. (I want to be able to fix it at MAX brightness which isn't achievable right now) 3. Double tapping of playing video to pause. |
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
can we set itso that when minimized it stays in landscape mode please
maybe next update? =] but this awesome! great work guys! |
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
Awesome work!
I'll download the source and see if I can help with something (at least make the spanish translation) |
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
make it can play rm rmvb?
|
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
Cant believe I missed this. Just downloaded it and love it.
Is there anyway to create playlists? I have music videos, documentaries and movies on my N9 and I'd prefer having the choice to view videos by filter. Great work Marxian. |

Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
0.0.2 released
changelog: SRT format subtitles supported |
Re: [Announce] Open Video Player
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Version 0.0.2 is now available, with experimental subtitles support (currently SRT format only). The .srt file must be in the same folder as the video file and must have the same filename. You can change the font size and colour, and choose whether the font is bold.

Video folders support is planned and will be added pretty soon. Brightness control is something I'll have to look into, as I don't have any experience of working with GStreamer. Double-tap to pause can easily be added, so I'll do that for the next update. :) |

and queries the right metadata nmm:runTime, but QtGallery queries for nfo:streamPosition (which isn't used by tracker) Btw, I can not see the Nokia Pure video, the screen is black I can only hear the sound. |
