|

<p>MediaPlayer is an application used for viewing multimedia files such as music or video files. It supports different formats.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Interface</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer is easy-to-use because of its interface. There's no difference in interface while playing music or video.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer is the default player for all audio and video files. Thanks to it's <a href="http://www.ffmpeg.org/">ffmpeg</a> backend, a plethora of widely used formats are supported. Its simple interface has all the controls you'd expect:</p>
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediaplayer.png" alt="mediaplayer.png" />
|
||||
<p>The slider of the progress bar allows you to quickly skim to a position, resting the mouse over it shows the current and remaining time of the clip. Clicking on the time display to the right of it, toggles between length, current and remaining time.<br />
|
||||
Below that you find the usual controls to skip to the previous track, play/pause, stop and jump to the next track. Then comes a volume control (clicking the speaker symbol toggles muting) and a VU meter.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can control playing media using a set of buttons - previous, play/pause, stop, next. Also, there is a progress bar, a volume controler and even an oscilloscope.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Audio and video playback</h2>
|
||||
<p>Since there aren't any specific features for for audio playback, we'll go straight to video or general features.</p>
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediaplayer-info.png" alt="mediaplayer-info.png" />
|
||||
<p>Available to all media is the <span class="menu">File info...</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">I</span>). It shows information about the currently loaded file, like playing time or details of the audio/video track and its codec.</p>
|
||||
<p>Most of the often used commands from the menus are also available from a right-click context menu on the video area. Convenient when in full-screen mode.<br />
|
||||
Under <span class="menu">Video</span> you'll find options to zoom the window to various levels or force the aspect ratio to some standard values. Leaving the aspect ration to the default <span class="menu">Stream settings</span> should work best for correctly encoded files.</p>
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer supports subtitles in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SubRip">SRT</a> format. To have them show up under <span class="menu">Subtitles</span>, their filenames have to be identical to their video file, with a suffixed language name and ".srt" instead of the video's extension. For example:</p>
|
||||
<pre>MyMovie.avi
|
||||
MyMovie.Deutsch.srt
|
||||
MyMovie.English.srt
|
||||
MyMovie.Français.srt</pre>
|
||||
<p>Multiple audio tracks, most often used for several languages inside one video file, are available from the <span class="menu">Audio track</span> submenu. The <span class="menu">Video | Track</span> submenu offers the same when having multiple video streams available.</p>
|
||||
<p>You can toggle the <span class="menu">Full screen</span> mode (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">ENTER</span> or <span class="key">F</span> or a double left-click), hide MediaPlayer's window borders and controls with <span class="menu">Hide interface</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">H</span> or a double right-click) or have it's window <span class="menu">Always on top</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">A</span>).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="box-info">Once you play a video file, you can double right-click on the display to hide interface. Double left-click instead causes displaying video in full-screen mode.</div>
|
||||
<h2>Playlists</h2>
|
||||
<p><span class="menu">MediaPlayer | Playlist...</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">P</span>) opens a window with the files currently queued up for playback. Double-clicking an entry starts playing it.</p>
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediaplayer-playlist.png" alt="mediaplayer-playlist.png" />
|
||||
<p>You can add more files by dropping them into the list and rearrange their position via drag & drop. From the <span class="menu">Edit</span> menu you can <span class="menu">Randomize</span> or <span class="menu">Remove</span> (<span class="key">DEL</span>) an entry from the list or delete the actual file with <span class="menu">Move to Trash</span> (<span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">T</span>).</p>
|
||||
<p>Of course, you can <span class="menu">Save</span> a playlist and later <span class="menu">Open</span> it again, or start it with simply double-clicking the playlist file.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Playing media</b></p>
|
||||
<h2>Settings</h2>
|
||||
<p>There are several settings to fine-tune MediaPlayer's behavior:</p>
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediaplayer-settings.png" alt="mediaplayer-settings.png" />
|
||||
<p>The first batch, <span class="menu">Play mode</span>, is pretty self-explaining. Start playback automatically, close windows when finished or play clips in a loop.</p>
|
||||
<p>Next are different <span class="menu">View options</span>.<br />
|
||||
You can opt to <span class="menu">Use hardware overlay if available</span>, which cuts down CPU usage but only works for one video window and needs a supporting video card driver.<br />
|
||||
You can <span class="menu">Scale movies smoothly</span> (when not in overlay mode) which uses very fast filtering to smooth over otherwise blocky pixels when zooming video or watching in full-screen mode.<br />
|
||||
<span class="menu">Scale controls in full-screen mode</span> if you prefer slightly bigger controls, maybe because you watch the screen from a bit farther away when in full-screen mode.<br />
|
||||
Then there are settings for <span class="menu">Subtitle size</span> and <span class="menu">Subtitle placement</span>. They can be shown at the <span class="menu">Bottom of video</span>, which will always have them overlayed over the picture. Or <span class="menu">Bottom of window</span>, which allows you to resize the window vertically and have the subtitles appear in the black bar at the bottom instead.</p>
|
||||
<p>The last setting determines the volume of clips whose windows are not currently active. You can have them all blaring at <span class="menu">Full volume</span>, at less confusing <span class="menu">Low volume</span> or quietly <span class="menu">Muted</span>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are options especially useful while watching DVD video or other files which include different audio/video tracks or have subtitles included. You can change audio tracks from <span class="menu">Audio | Track</span> just as <span class="menu">Video | Track</span> for various video tracks. You can also make use of subtitles, MediaPlayer supports .srt format. All available subtitles are showed as options in <span class="menu">Video | Subtitles</span> menu. The player gets names for this positions from the filename, eg. videoclip.english.srt shows as "english" in the menu.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Keyboard controls</h2>
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer offers convenient key combinations to control playback without using the mouse.</p>
|
||||
<table summary="keycombos" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
|
||||
<tr><td><span class="key">Z</span></td><td style="width:15px;"></td><td>Skip to previous track</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td><span class="key">X</span></td><td></td><td>Play</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td><span class="key">C</span></td><td></td><td>Pause</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td><span class="key">V</span></td><td></td><td>Stop</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td><span class="key">B</span></td><td></td><td>Skip to next track</td></tr>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
<p>These keys are assigned to the functions of the control buttons. They are always the bottom left letter keys on the keyboard, i.e. they are used independently of your current keymapping. The above keys correspond to a standard US-american keymap.</p>
|
||||
<table summary="keycombos" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">→</span></td><td style="width:15px;"></td><td>Seek forwards</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">SHIFT</span> <span class="key">→</span></td><td></td><td>Jump forwards 10 seconds</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">→</span></td><td></td><td>Jump forwards 30 seconds</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">←</span></td><td></td><td>Seek backwards</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">SHIFT</span> <span class="key">←</span></td><td></td><td>Jump backwards 10 seconds</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">←</span></td><td></td><td>Jump backwards 30 seconds</td></tr>
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediplayer-video_menu.png" alt="video-menu" />
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">↑</span></td><td></td><td>Increase volume</td></tr>
|
||||
<tr><td align="right"><span class="key">↓</span></td><td></td><td>Decrease volume</td></tr>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can change the scale by resizing the window or simply from the <span class="menu">Video</span> menu. There are 50%, 100%, 200%, 300% and 400% options. There is an option to change the player to full-screen mode or to change ratio of the display.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Playlists</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer supports playlists. You can either select a few files in Tracker using <span class="key">ALT</span> and launched the application or add other files after launching the one using the drag and drop method. You can get to the playlist from menu - choose <span class="menu">MediaPlayer | Playlist</span> and the playlist window will pop-up.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediaplayer-playlist.png" alt="playlist" />
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can save the current playlist or open one from the playlist window, of course. There is also a function that lets you to randomize your playlist. Use either <span class="menu">Edit | Randomize</span> menu position or <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">R</span> shortcut. You can also both remove any file from playlist and remove it from playlist and put into Trash. This functions are available from <span class="menu">Edit</span> menu, too.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Other options</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>If you would like to rate a file, you can do this directly from MediaPlayer, too! Choose a rate from 1 to 10 from <span class="menu">Attributes | Rating</span> menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>MediaPlayer is also able to show you some information about the file you play. It is available from <span class="menu">MediaPlayer | File info... </span> menu.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../images/apps-images/mediplayer-settings.png" alt="settings" />
|
||||
|
||||
<p>You can configure the application from <span class="menu">MediaPlayer | Settings</span>. There are some interesting options concerning looping playback, closing window when playback finishes, size and placement of subtitles or volume level while playing in the background.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Shortcuts</b></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are plenty of shortcuts for this application. <span class="key">SPACEBAR</span> is used to play/pause the playback. You can control the whole playback with one hand, because alternate keys are used - <span class="key">Z</span> to go to the previous track, <span class="key">X</span> to play, <span class="key">C</span> to pause and <span class="key">V</span> to go to the next track. Left/Right cursors are used to seek, they cause 10 seconds seeking while <span class="key">ALT</span> is pressed at the same time. Up and down cursors controls the volume and cause going to the previous/next track while <span class="key">ALT</span> is pressed.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">F</span> activates full-screen mode, <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">P</span> pops-up playlist window, <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">I</span> shows file information, <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">H</span> hides interface, <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">A</span> causes MediaPlayer is always on top, <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">S</span> moves you to the settings window and <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">Q</span> quits the application.</p>
|
