Guest hackbart Posted April 6, 2004 Posted April 6, 2004 nice player - especially the playlist. I hope someone will create a much more simple skin (e.g. like winamp 3) for it. Christian
Guest Michael Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 nice player - especially the playlist.I hope someone will create a much more simple skin (e.g. like winamp 3) for it. Christian yeah, that's the same thing i am waiting for
Guest DAvenger Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 (edited) You are not alone edit : build 9 is out Edited April 7, 2004 by DAvenger
Guest Oliver Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 When are you going to enable setting the aspect ratio? I have lots of AVI files, some of them with resolutions of 480 * 576. Since AVI contains no header information concerning the aspect ratio I can't use the pre-betas for watching. There should be 4:3, 16:9 and 21:9. Bye, Oliver
RadScorpion Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Aspect Ratios are implemented, but not enabled at the moment. In the next release there should be quite good aspect ratio support...
Guest hackbart Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 yep, also keep those nasty mpeg2 aspect ratios in mind. Somehow the mediaplayer is struggling about the resolutions Christian
Guest Oliver Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 Hm, I think the BSPlayer features the most comfortable handling of aspect ratios - even custom made - yet. @DAvenger: Stay thy wrath! Bye, Oliver
Guest DAvenger Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Build 10 of the RadLight 4 multimedia player is out. This is last version before the long awaited BETA release. We would like to focus on fixing all of the bugs (there is a lot of them) and doing some code clean & speed ups. Unfortunatelly, this will be a really tough job so you are gonna have to wait few weeks before we complete it. pre-beta 1 (build - 10) Added RadLight Vorbis DirectShow Filter 1.0.0.0 Queue and Play Playlist customization form added Tabs actions + hints Brand new playback module Dynamic playlist Brand new playlist component Aspect ratios (w/touch from outside) Download using Bittorrent (Learn how) Download "RadLight 4 pre-beta 1 build 10" (HTTP)
Guest DAvenger Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Wouw your DS-Filter have reached 1.0 !?! No, we always start at 1.0.0.0 because RadScorpion codes them
Guest Oliver Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I've just had a short look at it, I like the aspect ratio control! Bye, Oliver
Guest DAvenger Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I've just had a short look at it, I like the aspect ratio control! Cool It's still very simple, though. Custom aspect ratios will be added later, I guess.
crypto Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 I also found the time to check out the new RadLight and I am really impressed. Great sound, great skin and great functions. The smooth roll-over effects and the cross-fading effects are really cool. Two thumbs up.
Guest DAvenger Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 If you guys have any suggestions feel free to post them here or over @ radlight forums.
Guest DAvenger Posted April 27, 2004 Posted April 27, 2004 Latest SDK can be found here : http://www.radlight.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=645 If you search the board you will also find a few sample modules including the "Auto shutdown module" by Osho (the first RL coder )
Guest Oliver Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 I've just noticed that the aspect ratio setting doesn't work with XViD files, although there are no problems with MPEG and DivX. I was also not able to add an MPEG2-PS file with the extension ".m2p" to the playlist via drag'n'drop. To be true, I wasn't able to play it at all. There was no problem after I renamed it to ".mpg". Bye, Oliver
RadScorpion Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 The reason is ffdshow filter (or some other decoder) which outputs video data with VIDEOINFOHEADER2 format that has aspect ratio support directly inside. VMR renderers accept this information ... you would either need to disable the VIH2 output in the ffdshow settings or select XviD Decoder instead...
Guest Oliver Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 I am using the original XViD MPEG4 decoder, but I have the same problem when using the DivX 5.11 decoder for XViD files. BTW: I was wrong before, I have problems with DivX, too. But this shouldn't be a problem of the decoder. I can set every aspect ratio with all MPEG4-files with the DVBViewer or BSPlayer, no matter the decoder being used. It's also independent of overlay, VMR or plain video renderer. Bye, Oliver
Guest DAvenger Posted April 28, 2004 Posted April 28, 2004 .m2p ... go to Shell property page, right click on the list and select "Add new", then F2 and type "mp2". The opendialog filter should be updated now
Gioxy Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 @Oliver & DAvenger With NVidia filters I haven't any XviD-"aspect ratio modification" problem... fully functional If you intended "aspect ratio detection" instead, then I have too... DVBViever is more reliant in detecting the correct AR... or maybe it is too "lazy" for change from 3/4 Cheers Gioxy
Guest Oliver Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 With NVidia filters I haven't any XviD-"aspect ratio modification" problem... fully functional What does the NVIDIA decoder have to do with MPEG4 playback? Maybe you confused something... Bye, Oliver
Guest DAvenger Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 You can select preferred filters & source/splitter in the Playback property page (ALT+P). I don't think it has something to do with Oliver's problem but just in case it has
Guest Oliver Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Okay, here is something to despair about for Radscorpion: Setting the aspect ratio for MPEG4 works perfectly when using the ffdshow decoder. The problems only occur with the original DivX/XViD decoders. Bye, Oliver
Guest DAvenger Posted April 29, 2004 Posted April 29, 2004 Thanks for reporting this. I am sure Igor will look into this and get back to you soon (right now he's busy by saving the world)
Gioxy Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 GULP! Sorry for the unforgivable mistake, but I was posting at work, a little hurried... But I can confirm that with "original" XViD decoder I haven't any aspect ratio problem... So I think that probably is the XViD decoder version (or maybe the building, Koepi/Iago/Nic etc...) that make the difference: I belive I'm using the Koepi's Xvid (24-06-2003) ver., the only that I found very reliable until now (but I haven't tested yet the last Koepi's build, XviD-1.0-RC4-05042004). Cheers Gioxy
Guest Oliver Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 I'm using the latest DivX 5.11 Pro decoder and Koepi's XViD "Hola!" 1.0-RC4-05042004. @Gioxy: "Hola!" works perfectly for me, I never encountered any problems. Bye, Oliver
Gioxy Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 @Oliver: ...except in changing aspect ratio with RadLight! Ok ok, I'm sorry for the acid humor; I hope I find the time to test Hola! in this week-end... BTW: here there was a XviD 1.0 conversion setting's guide... Cheers Gioxy
Guest DAvenger Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 Weird. Works fine here. I'll investigate more. BTW. There is a new build 11 : http://www.radlight.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=655 ... focuses on stability improvements ...
Guest Oliver Posted April 30, 2004 Posted April 30, 2004 The problem still occurs. I've made some screenshots. The film has an aspect ratio of 4:3, I've used the latest XViD ("Hola!"). In Radlight I've selected the aspect ratio "free" for better illustration. I believe you can see the problem now. Bye, Oliver
Gioxy Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Hummm... ...having installed Hola! I have the same Oliver's problem... ...and the decoder isn't compatible with my "old" Xvid"... ...also recording in Xvid on-the-fly with SkyView doesn't work anymore... ...but I was able to compress correctly a long film: with the old one I get huge A/V async... (BTW, it was the last Nic one's, marked 16/07/03, the ones the guide I mentioned refers, and not Koepi's one.... another shameful mistake ) Perhaps I will return on my step... Cheers Gioxy
Guest Oliver Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I have this problem also with the official DivX Pro 5.11 decoder. Can you confirm this, too? Bye, Oliver
Gioxy Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 (edited) I installed the official DivX 5.11 Boundle (I mean the free version...) and I confirm that if I had set "Keep Original" it can't automatically detect the correct format (3/4); conversely, if I set "3/4", it goes fine with DivX & XviD... but I had "strange" aspect ratio with some MPG file: maybe is because they are 480x576, 528x576 and 544x576??? (BTW, they also look like it where "zoomed out" of about 50%)... ...maybe we can stop the world until Radscorpion resolve this... Cheers Gioxy Edited May 3, 2004 by Gioxy
