Thanks. I will take a look and make it default eventually...

Probably nothing, but AVG says there's a trojan in the installer: PSW.Lineage

Yeah, this fixes all my problems :-). Weird, since the subtitles I was using are in SSA format I would have expected this to just happen. Anyway, thanks a lot Julio!

Cool. I find MPlayer to be the best player ever written for Windows and Linux but the defaults are somewhat strange sometimes.

I guess it is disabled by default for performance reasons but the option should be more visible in the documentation.

Other commands you should take a look at are:

-sub-fuzziness 2
Loads all subtitles in the folder and you can select which one to display using the J key. Useful if you have English and Spanish subtitles in the same folder.

-vf screenshot
To allow taking screenshots of the movie (With the S key). Otherwise the screenshot will only show the video overlay.

-subfont-text-scale 5 (default subtitles)
-ffactor 1 (For -ass)
I find the default font size a too big. This reduces the scaling factor a bit.

-idx
Re-indexes a damaged movie to allow scrolling.

Curious: on my PC, AVG didn't complain.

I like this player: very simple to use.

I have some small annoyances with it:
- There is no play/pause when I click on the window.
I've tried adding in config.kfg bind mouse1 "@pause" without success.

- When I pause with the spacebar, it 'stay paused': when I press the spacebar again to make it play again, it plays just a few frames and then it pause again.

- it cannot open files with an accent in the filename on my PC (I've opened a topic on the subject in the forum).


But it's still quite good: very usable skin.

Hmm... Weird... Just checked and you are right... Maybe I broke something cause it was working a while ago. I will fix it...

If you your binding in the config while player is running it will be replaced when you quit, so type "bind mouse1 @pause" (w/o quotes) in the console. It will fix the mouse1 problem.

Thanks for your answer: now mouse1 indeed pause the screen.
I don't know why the first time it didn't work: I did modify config.kfg while rulesPlayer was off, maybe it was the quotes around @pause, but this seems strange as all the other entries have quotes, and now the entry have also quotes around @pause (added by the player at exit I think), oh well, it's working now, thanks, maybe you could change the default configuration file in the package?

Now that mouse1 works, I don't care much about the 'spacebar stay paused' bug, your player just became my default player, thanks!

Funnily there is another bug opposite to the 'stay paused with the spacebar bug': when you're in pause mode and you use the left arrow to go back 5s, it will change in play mode: in my opinion, it should keep the current mode: play mode if it used to play, pause mode if it was in pause mode..

Your player is better than mediaplayer classic as the user can easily adjust the colors, but worse as he cannot zoom easily like with mediaplayer classic.

For the bugs, do you prefer, entries in the forum or in the ticket system?

It is in the default config. I investigated and it was a typo that was causing the problem (mouse1dbd instead of mouse1dbl)... Quotes are used as on the command line, i.e. take bind for example. It is taking 2 parameters - one for the key and one for the command but if you want command that is not just "pause" but say "yell HELLO!" you have to write "bind x yell HELLO!" which becomes 3 parameters so you quote the yell command and everything in the quotes is parameter 2 like this "bind x "yell HELLo!"", so when you press x you will see a message box (useless really:)

Yeah I think so too but this is up to MPlayer, and it isn't working as documented on this matter...

For now you can just resize the window to the size you want... I will think about zooming...

Please use the forum, I added few entries to the ticket system but it seems useless now because I am the only developer on the project...

Thank you for your interest in my player. I will answer in the forum but currently I can't open dsource.org...
