Chapter Playlist or Scene Cut

[RafkeP]

New idea :idea:
I'm not going to work on my BCFcreator anymore: I found a nice alternative... Subtitle Workshop

RafkeP, this is for subtitles!
Correct, but it also allows you to save your subtitles in a "custom format".
So if you copy this file into the "CustomFormats" directory of Subtitle Workshop you can create BSPlayer Censorship Files just like you create subs.

Use Subtitle Workshop to define beginning and ending of the censored parts and as "subtitle text" type 0 or 1 (mute or skip)

What do you think ?

Maybe in the future these files can be created with the subtitle editor of BSplayer. (haven't seen that one yet, so maybe it's already possible)

[Tizio]

The good thing is that I already have SW installed on my machine :D
The bad is that my version have problems with the manual time editing function.. I'll see if a new version has been released.
I'll try it

EDIT:
unfortunally there is no new version.. :(
But I'll tri to use it anyway

[Tizio]

Tried.. your utility is more userfriendly for this task!
I'll use it instead of SW (great software, but I'll use it only for subitles creation/editing purposes)

[Tizio]

BUG?
I noted that when I play a file that uses your plugin (so the BCF file is loaded) when I close BSplayer a Windows error appears (this will not occour if I'll reomove the bcf file from the folder..)
Maybe you don't close the file stream after you open it?

If VisualBsic had supported the BSP_GetFileName SDK function I would had developed the BCF editor, but I'm not able to retrieve the current played file name (I tried several approaches but none of them worked). I know I should stop to use VB, but it's really easy to use and the programs creation is really fast, and since I don't have time..it's the best development program I can use at this moment.. :P

I'll try to see if the BSP_OpenFile function will work (it should) and if that will be the case, maybe I'll develop the creator (now I have some really nice functions in my mind )

[Tizio]

Do you remember the problem with open devices when you developed the Name_plugin?
It's there in this plugin too :P

BSplayer v2.00.933, Unhandled exception at EIP: 10001810

OK, I will add a few more basic features into the BCFcreator.

I remember there were some problems with VB and the SDK, but I thought this was only with the BSP_OpenFile and not with the BSP_GetFileName.
Maybe we need to follow a course on programming ... that would save us a lot of time :D

I knew about the bug when closing BSplayer.
When you copy code from one plugin to another, you also copy the errors :? This error is present from my first plugin: the LCDplugin.
It has something to do with closing a thread.

I remember the nameplugin error.
I'll probably fix it tonight.

Unfortunally it's the contrary

Yes, absolutely right (at least for me), but I swear you that the BSP_GetFileName doesn't work for a VB limitation

Thank you very much!

Regarding the BCFcreator.. I wrote a first rough version that allows you to open a movie, seek forward (with seeking bar, and in the future also by manually typing the values), play/pause/stop BSplayer (I'll add also a frame by frame action), adjust the Volume, and save the BCF file.
Now I have to do the load part and I'll be finished, but not today (I'm too much busy).

Unfortunally 'cause of the GetFileName problem it will not be able to read it from BSplayer but it will take that from the OPEN FILE from the creator...

[RafkeP]

I made a new version to fix the "name_plugin" bug.
Can you check if that's working for you ?
The link is still the same.

I'm looking forward to your BCFcreator. It saves me the trouble

Tried it and the bug is gone :D
Thank you man!

I'll work at the creator this night after the film I'm watching will finish (if my eyes will be able to stay open :roll: )

[RafkeP]

Thanks for testing: I'm more relaxed now.
Good luck with the creator.

[Tizio]

Finished!! :D
I rewrote my BCF Creator from scratch today since yesterday night I was too much tired...

I think it doesn't need a tutorial to use it, but if you need it I'll write a documentation file

You can use it to either create or edit BCF files.
The only thing I was not able to do, is to "READ" the currently opened movie directly from BSplayer... but you won't need it if you'll pay attention to what you'll do with my utility :roll:

Download from here the plugin that RafkeP made, and use my BCF Creator with it.

Good chensorship to everybody

[Tizio]

@ Rafke
Can you find a solution for the error message when you close BSplayer?
Plus I noticed that if you modify the BCF file, it's not enought to close the movie file and reopen it to use the new BCF file, but 90% of times (if not 100%) you have to restart BSplayer. Maybe you have to clear the pointers list to BCF file intervals everytime the movies are closed (BSplayer state -1) and then played again.. :?

[RafkeP]

Looking sweet, Tizio !
I hereby withdraw myself from the BCFcreator creating scene :D

Maybe you could add the following features :
- When you add a new censorship line it get's inserted in the BCF file
where it belongs. (so resort the list if you add one)
- When you select a line from the edit box have an option to jump to the
start of that part.

(you don't need to do it for me: I don't like censorship :D )

Concerning the bugs:
1. I will give it another try. I think I allready tried in the past to fix this
error, but apparently I failed. :?
I'm not sure but I think it helps pressing stop before you exit.
(or not pressing stop before you exit)

2. Very strange: the BCF file is parsed when EV_OPENFILE is triggered.
The file is closed and handle is released before the censoring starts.
I will look into it, but right now I don't have my sources at hand.

1. I thought about it, but if I'll do that I'll have to consider also to inglobe the intervals that lays into a bigger one and merge overlapping ones.... and I wouldn't had been able to do this in the few time I had today
Maybe next week I'll make a try (if I'll find some extra time)
2. I can add this, but you can simply Jump to the time you want with the "Jump" button (if you move the mouse over the Start and Stop text field a tooltip with the converted timeformat will appear, so you only have to copy it into the jump to time window and press Enter... slower, but more handleable, and above all things..already implemented :P )

Thank you for checking the 2 reported bugs

Now everything works fine :?
I don't know why before it wasn't working.. Thank you anyway and sorry if I made you spend time on that

I'll wait for a fix for the first bug (if you press STOP or close the movie before closing BSplayer it doesn't occour, otherwise if you close BSplayer while the movie is playing the Windows error message appears...)

[RafkeP]

Good thing that I'm lazy from time to time: now I didn't waste any time on bugs that aren't there

I made a new build which should solve the problem when you close BSplayer. I replaced the original file, so the download link remains the same.

I'm sure you will test this to the fullest :D

Enjoy,
Rafke P.

[Tizio]

Downloaded, tonight or tomorrow I'll test it!

Thank you again Rafke

Right, thank you to have remembered it to me :P

Anyway.... :( I have bad news.. It didn't worked, the error on exiting BSplayer while a movie is played is still there.. :(

And as before, if you close the movie, or just stop it before exiting the problem doesn't appear :?

It's a problem I can live with, so Rafke don't go crazy to fix it, but if you have free time (and if you still want to do it) another try is appreciated :roll:
I would greatly appreciate an option to disable it on the fly (even a toggle button in the BSplayer's plugins management window is enough)

Thank you anyway :D
Now it's sleep time, so..good night

[POP3D]

That is completly great job , the plugin is great and the creators are great too...

I've tested the plugin and both of the creators , the creators work perfectly , and the plugin is just fine , it causes an error every time i close the BsPlayer but its no big deal... :D

But i still have a sugestion , the plugin reads the skip or mute out of the bcf file in frames , if it can read it in time format too like (01:33:21) it will be easyer to manualy modify the file , which is by the way can be opened and modified by (Notepad)...

And also if the creator can becom part of the BsPlayer itself that will be much better...

I hope i'm not asking for too much :oops: , the current plugin and creator doing the job in a great way :D , but i'm always looking for perfection...

Thanks...
