Yes Mr Tao, and now, I try version 500 and 501. What are the *.BSI file ? These are text files that run bsplayer when clicked to indicate the location of the movie file dig in a subdirectory and the availability of multilingual subtitles and chapters lists, for good old AVI files (that do not integrate this information like it is now available in OGM or MKV container file formats). Do you agree ? Bsi are smart to implement on a CD. CD could be made autoplayable on cd insertion using some kind of autorun.ini. In BSI files, Code: [Movie] Directory=.\avidir FName=file even with spaces in it.avi in upper of lowercase but no abbreviation allowed... Code: [Options] lang=Nederlands fullscreen=1 Code: [Movie] Title=Mission for Pluto is totally discarded, I tought it would appear in the Video Info contextual screen at the Title/author/copyright frame. (It appeared on the second avi when bsi are chained or is replaced by any line from a subtitle file). Code: [Movie] AudioFile1=Spanish_audiotrack.mp3 (or wav) AudioName1=Spanish Code: [Subtitles] sub=english|filename.srt Code: [Chapters] 0=00:02:59 Intro Code: [Main] NumberCDs=3 CD=1 Code: [Main] CD=2 Note also that on the second AVi file , the Title (given in the [Movie]field will be displayed correctly on the BSPLAYER front instead of the filename. NumberCDs=3 must be repeated in each bsi file in order to stop the iterative search after the 3rd AVI file. The Lang=Nederlands that was present in the first BSI file is suddenly taken into account at the beginning of the second Avi file, strange, and the Chapters and subtitles present in this second BSI file, strange, strange ! Chapters times are countet from the first reel, selecting chapter 1 at 00:00:00 asks for the first CD or reopens the first AVI file. So after long experiments, it worked just a bit like described by Quietseb in http://forum.bsplayer.org/viewtopic....a4e20ef6eb86ac is . except for the first AVI file (or Quietseb, you will have to check and report your BSplayer version to me...) In BSI files, [Main][Movie] and so on are not case sensitive but in CHF files, [Charters] tag have a strange behavior, sometimes it requires CHAPTER to be written in uppercase to be taken into account. Some times, the chapters are displayed but it is not possible to skip to a given chapter, and if the file was opened with the help of a BSI file and then the CHF file was manually selected the chapters are selectable. Strange... Why ? If someone has the time to check my assertions, I would be pleased to know if I am right, or wrong. So the questions are: Who is in charge of this software ? Has he published its email ? How could I participate as a reviewer or as a programmer ? When did he left the support of BSI files ? Why has he suppressed the chaining of videos thanks to BSI files. Why could we still find an old version of .\bsplayer\doc\ini_files.html from 2001 that is absolutely not correct ? Why have you changed the parsing of CHF files which rejects the [Chapters] tag and need the uppercase? When will it be fixed ? There is long time since people asked to come back to what was available in old BSplayer versions (before 493). Every new version of BSplayer gives some hope, immediately disappointed. Several friends come back on the forum with old bsi solutions that are absolutely inoperant, no more available. I would be pleased if the author gave more transparency in his work (Change.log history say nothing between 499 and 500 for instance) and prepared an up-to-date documentation of the actual BSplayer functionalities. ANd a verbose switch would help debugging the syntax of faulty bsi files... Manuu |

Exactly, there were many new builds since me and others asked about bsi files but this problem wasn't addressed in any of them. I'm asking why? Reading configuration files can't be such a challenging part, especially compared to rest of great work done on bsPlayer. I realize that since I discovered bsPlayer, I liked idea of bsi files a lot so I ended with HD full of movies and waiting for new builds hoping that finally now I can burn my CDs. :lol: I believe that many of us will greatly appreciate correct syntax of bsi files description as well as fixed handling of them. edit: but hey, I just downloaded build 501 dated 5. August and things seems to be working! lang and fullscreen is working! title is working! sub is working! chapters seems to be working too! btw: its necessary to make absolutelly sure that there are no empty spaces at the end of the line. |

I know there are problems with .bsi files. Last few builds don't have any changes/fixes with .bsi files and probably there won't be any more in 0.8x versions. As you know I'm rewriting player. I can't give you exact date but version 1.0 should be finished real soon now. |

Nice to meet you bst, Thank you for your advice and the time you spent to that great project. I discovered that on the first bsi, chapters and subs are not loaded but if a followup is present in a second BSI file, everything works fine ! So I found a nice way around ! And it works for versions 499 to 501-5sept. I have created a very short AVI file (2 seconds) named P1.avi and the first bsi file refers to it. At the end of the dummy movie, BSplayer searches for another bsi file and find P2.bsi that contains the full load of subtitles and the pointer to the intended movie : Un tueur pour cible.BSI looks like : Code: [Main] NumberCDs=2 CD=1 [Movie] Title=Un tueur pour cible Directory=. FName=P1.avi Code: [Main] numberCDs=2 CD=2 [Options] Lang=Fran?§ais FullScreen=0 [Movie] Title=Un tueur pour cible Directory=. FName=Un tueur pour cible.avi AudioName1=Fran?§ais [Subtitles] Directory=.\sous-titres Sub1=Fran?§ais|replacementkillers_FR.sub Sub2=Ne?©rlandais|replacement_killers [Nl].srt Sub3=Anglais|The Replacement Killers [Eng].sub Sub4=Allemand|The_replacement_killers [Ger].sub DefaultSub=2 |

I use #501 and chapters are working for me (tested only on 1CD project), but only when VMR9 is not selected. If it's selected and bsPlayer was started using above bsi file, it displays warnings which can be bypassed by clicking continue, but Chapters submenu is empty (in fact it isn't even displayed). This comes first Code: BSPlayer v0.86.501, Unhandled exception at EIP: 004B12A0 If you click 'Close' application will be terminated. Please report this info to the author with description what were you doing. Access violation at address 004B12A0 in module 'bplay.exe'. Read of address 00000000 EAccessViolation , 0x004CA6A3, 0x004CA91D, 0x004526D3, 0x00449D3E, 0x77D57AD7, 0x77D5CCD4, 0x77D34455, 0x77D34D58, 0x004DDDBA, 0x77E814C7 Code: Bytes at EIP: 8B 00 FF 50 44 85 C0 75 30 A1 F4 2B 4E 00 8B 80 D4 03 btw: VMR9 works when bsPlayer isn't started using bsi file. |
