missing features of BSPlayer
 

Hi, please add some new variables to BSPlayer for SKIN-creators... some other variables, please... I need other variables for my SKIN (not in OSD info, but to SKIN):

Video codec:
------------
-codec ID & codec name (XviD, DivX, MPEG1, MPEG2 v1-3, WMV, FLV, etc.)
-type of compression
-quality of compression (bitrate)

Audio codec:
------------
-codec ID & codec name
-type of compression
-info about audio-chanels (detailed for AC3 codec and/or for mp3 codec -> joint stereo, stereo, mono, double stere, dolby, etc.)
-number of included audio tracks (dubbing audio tracks in movie)
-bitrate
-sample frequency


......becasue I need know what's codec using when I'm watching some movies in BSPlayer


THX a very much !

[Alt]/[3] opens Media-info window
(or rightclick > Options > Media info)

Codec(s)/filter(s) used by BS.Player for playback of a specific file can be established by
(rightclick >) Options > Filters > Advanced
(Clicking on the [+]-signs reveals further info and access)
If you e.g. see that ffdshow is used for video and/or audio:
1. click on the [+] in front of "ffdshow Video/Audio Decoder"
2. then click on ffdshow resp. ffdshow audio
3. select the box "OSD" below "Info & CPU"
(Other decoders may have similar options)
:wink:

Do you really want to see all that info and - at the same time - still watch the movie? :happyroll:
So, what is the size of your skin vs. size of movie-window? Or do you want to display movie on one screen and the controlpanel with all that info on another?
(There are several programs (<>players) more appropriate for the task of providing info on media; e.g. read item (3) of my Help2Help-post).

I think you're pretty unique in your 'wish list'. In this connection I would invite other users with similar wishes to let the developers (which I'm not; I'm just a user like you) know so by adding their posts to this thread.
:wink:

THX... but...

- please, not "media info" by pressing keys (I do know about this)

- please, not FFDSHOW (filter of codecs)

- please, not OSD !!!!!

- no all my requests, I need see video-codec and audio-codec of movie in SKIN (I need see it !)

- BSPlayer is very pretty software for movie watching
- I don't want other software than BSPlayer
- for detailed info of movies I use "GSpot" utility

- my select of thread is OK -> "FEATURE REQUESTS"


- for example (edited screenshot of "NightRider_03Apr2006" SKIN) :

:confuse:

To be sure: do you want the skin to show the codec originally used for encoding the movie or are you interested in showing the filter(s)/codec(s) used by BS.Player to decode the moviefile? What exactly do you want to be able to be shown in the skin (and -meanwhile very curious- why)?
:wink:

I need to see 4CC getting from video file (from movie), displayed on my SKIN
( FourCC: GSpot Supported Video Codecs )
:omg:
FFDSHOW is not (A/V) codec
FFDSHOW is filter of many codecs
I need to see FourCC (ID-code of codec)
I don't need to see FFSHOW filter (tree type structure about video output)

...there is screenshot as EXAMPLE (accentuated with red colour)

Because I need always info about A/V files:
-to support for desktop (or mobile) Multimedia Players (DVD Player, MP3 Player, mobile phone, PDA, etc.)
-for converting to some web servers with file hosting
-etc.

I need to see immediately always info about video quality and about video codec. For these informations is much place on BSPlayer SKINs, why don't add of these variables to BSPlayer ? Why ? Hmm...

So the straight answer (without ado) is that you want the skin to be able to show the codecs originally used for encoding.
:wink:
(You indeed posted this in the correct (i.e. feature requests) forum.)

well this could be done with a plugin, but not in the skin, only a new window (which could be made to stick to the main window, so it could follow it, etc when you move it). A new window could even be skinned if you don't like the normal window's style maybe.
