.. :) There's always a but. This time is the interface. I got some hints that will improve user experience while using your player (and I mean - I'ts best out there!)

- redesign (repaint) buttons - now they looks 90tish or so - we're at ICS era, it's just stands out not in a good way
- since double tap is for pause (i suggest single tap) I suggest such an implementation:

. pause/play - single tap

. +/- 60sec double tap right/left edge of the screen

. swipe right/left - seek movie for swipe length (longer -> further seek) - defined time, but i.e. 30sec: full screen swipe, 10sec: just a bit, etc

- allow to disable playlist generation (recent played, etc) or/and easier way to clean it (menu/clean recent played, etc)
- add option to disable folders and files with . [dot] at the beginning - (not only .nomedia) - some programs leave thumbnails in such a folders - no need to see it, as usually it's a rubbish
- Browse/Playlist - please add Favorites - and not the just a file but folder/directory, I'm not watching the same movie all over again, I'm watching new movie from folder movie buried on my sd card :)
- subtitles - please add outline shadow to text and ability to make it bold - while bold text outlined black looks best in all scenes

Now bugs I've spotted:
- mkv movie (matroska 23.976fps, h264, 1280x720) - when swipe on the screen it's just reset to beginning of the movie


OK, lots ow whining - but it's just a hints for better GUI, not much :) Overall it's the best player I've found till today.

BS Player hardware acceleration is the only hardware acceleration decoder that has shown to decode at the original framerates on my AT&T Galaxy S2 Skyrocket with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. But it is not without bugs. It stutters, objects seem to disappear, sometimes the images are distorted. But it shows a lot of promise. Currently there are is no perfect hardware (choppy framerates), or software (pixelated upscaling) decoders. BS Player can be the first if the decoder's weird behavior can be addressed. I believe that this problem exists on the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 which also has the Qualcom Snapdragon processor.

Hi! I Just received my Ainol Novo 7 Paladin Knight (MIPS based) and, no, BS Player is not compatible :(

Have you plans to have a MIPS Build?

Thanks

I have already tried it! but my bsremote (of my smartphone) can't find any bsplayer (from my tablet). I have tried it auto detecting the ip address and writing it also. Does the android bsplayer come with this feature?

Thanks

[BSPeter]

I'm afraid BSRemote (android) is intended to be used (through its accompanying host server application) for BS.Player on a Windows platform. This to the best of my knowledge. Sorry!

BS Player often cuts off the end of a video file, about the last 10 seconds or so. Playing the same file on Mirage Beta on my Acer A500 tablet & it plays till the end, so the fault is with the player.. Need beta tester for different version, lemme know, I'll help..

[mydquin]

If so, how do I activate it?

[BSPeter]

Repeat mode > Shuffle ?
