With mpv-proper, it's possible to configure the keybindings via ~/.config/mpv/input.conf (at least on Linux) and remap most of the keys as well as add bindings for keys that don't have bindings. However, baka-mplayer is currently unable to inherit that from the mpv config files and does not provide that functionality on its own. The default input.conf file for mpv can be found here, and mpv's man page describes the various options. For instance, my personal input.conf is currently

RIGHT       seek  10
LEFT        seek -10
BS          quit_watch_later
CLOSE_WIN   quit_watch_later
AXIS_UP     ignore
AXIS_DOWN   ignore
AXIS_LEFT   ignore
AXIS_RIGHT  ignore
MOUSE_BTN2  ignore
MOUSE_BTN3  ignore
MOUSE_BTN4  ignore
DEL         set speed 1.0
ENTER       set pause no
PGUP        add chapter -1
PGDWN       add chapter 1

because that's closer to what I'm used to with other players. So, it would be great if baka-mplayer provided a way to either use mpv's input.conf or to configure it in its own config file. Even simply having the ability to configure it by hand in the config file directly rather than having it in the GUI would be a great start, though eventually, it should probably be in the GUI somewhere like it is with players like smplayer or vlc.

Create a portable way to save settings of Baka MPlayer. This includes a Setting Dialog, and perhaps an .ini file that is loaded and saved on load and on exit. This will be done through SettingsManager class derived from QSettings. Not only application specific settings but also mpv specific settings.

The problem is my negligence of putting version info into the settings file earlier.

Settings updating goes a lot smoother if there is version information in the settings file.

Though the master branch has this fix the release branch does not. When I merge mpv_settings and perhaps release it then people with the old version MAY lose their settings. Two possible ways around this:

1. Next release has current master branch--hopefully everyone gets it, so later we can marge mpv_settings and everyone'll upgrade seemlessly
2. Use AUR's update() in pkgbuild to make sure a baka-mplayer version exists in the config file; this would fix any difficulties
3. Add further complexity to the upgrade process temporarily in the application itself (checking to see if the settings file exists; even with that added complexity any older version of baka-mplayer being run will write on top of the settings resulting in a messy settings file.

I've yet to decide, suggestions are welcome.

Note:

This is most likely linuxmint/nemo's fault but perhaps we can fix it somehow?

Like the old Baka MPlayer there should be a hotkey to do everything. Perhaps we will apply mpv key-bindings according to user-specified settings OR we will make certain hotkeys fire the signals to send commands to mpv. Preferably allowing mpv to handle everything except baka mplayer specific hotkeys.

Snapshot support; perhaps use mpv's snapshot commands.
Snapshots with/without subtitles (S | s) hotkeys.
Save snapshots in application specified location.

If baka-mplayer is closed by ctrl+q, it doesn't have this problem.

To get the translations work we have to set the LANG when we just start building it and embed the translation into the baka-mplayer. It works well if I build it on my own system for my own use, but if I want to distribute it with rpm or deb to people in different countries, it is not a good solution.
I suggest to set the translations in the "make install" process.

In my system there are both qmake(qt4) and qmake-qt5, qmake use the one in qt4 and the build can not be done, so I suggest to change it.

ALL TOO FAMILIAR error message:

MediaInfo Output:

errorinfo.txt file:

Make the playlist functional, either design it the way mpv manages playlist with mpv's playlist support or without, or make it the way the old Baka MPlayer handled the playlist.

At least make the playlist useful (a list of files passed, double click to play file, add to playlist etc..)

This will be done via a PlaylistManager class which inherits the QListWidget on the form.

Screenshot: https://img.bi/#/5pDwmjM!AYTebopq3jYWWP395Gjml6xfOFPRIP9PafD2MwYf

(actually it just don't see that i3wm keep window in fullscreen. But it should!)

Was wondering if anyone would be interested in setting up one on Freenode. Don't want to jump the gun and do it myself.

Primary aim would be to facilitate communication on issue #7.

Not much of a coder, but I do I have a very nice Arch setup with a full mxe toolchain ready to do any QA.

Command-line capabilities as in the old Baka MPlayer, which can send commands to mpv or baka-mplayer. Will also be used for future features.

Same issue whether just using make.sh directly or using debian/rules
Ex. on latest git master

~/Desktop/baka/src/Baka-MPlayer$ ./make.sh
./make.sh: 3: [: unexpected operator
Configuring...
./make.sh: 26: ./make.sh: src/Baka-MPlayer.pro: Permission denied
Compiling baka-mplayer...
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Substituting the previous make.sh works ok

Will be cool if chapters will start from 01 instead of 1. The way it is now it looks a bit ugly if there are more than 9 chapters.

Add update support as in original Baka MPlayer; will check on the website for version information and direct user to the new update.

Update Support Features:

• Error-proof:
  • No/unstable internet
  • Closed in the middle of a download? (should restart where it left off if the update is the same)
• Allow user to enable/disable automatic updating
• Configuration versioning
• On Linux, it should tell users when there is a new update; on Windows it works as an updater

Black/Blank screen

Too familiar "uh oh" popup error dialog...

MediaInfo Output:

errorinfo.txt Output:

The baka-mplayer.md documentation file doesn't seem to be the best idea. It's about time we create the Wiki (using github is fine) for documentation.

For maximal portability we'll be trying to keep the documentation file nonetheless.

Basically when opening files (through the Playlist), we have ~1/5 chance that the file will NOT open.

Debugging shows that the string is indeed passed to the signal and even make it to mpv->OpenFile, for whatever reason though the file does not begin playback.

What's known about the bug is it is caused by PlaylistManager.

Could this be the root of my problems???

Get Baka-MPlayer compiled for windows (for our original user-base); we'd like a stand-alone application--just the Executable and the generated accompanying .ini file for settings.

Hi there!

First off, Baka is great! I'm really enjoying it. Clean UI, fast, light, it supports HTTPS streaming; it's quite elegant.

I just noticed a little snag: the playlist's search field is currently case-sensitive. (The version I'm using is a git checkout from last night.) I'm sure it's just an oversight. :)

Thanks for a great video player!

as the picture shows

Show menu on right click on the video.

PLEASE make something to avoid it. Settings dialog is also ugly.

If you use setVisible() on menubar, you should check that menubar was visible in the first place.
It creates wrong behaviour (menubar will be forced to be visible) if menubar wasn't visible at start (appmenu).

fix to 1.9.9 (git may be slighty diffrent)

Hi,

tested out a .flv video that plays perfectly in mpv player standalone, and it plays only audio with black (blank) video in this version/build of Baka-MPlayer. FYI. I'm including a Screencap of MediaInfo on the file for debugging purposes so you guys can see the codecs involved.

I got this little error message again:

And on to the MediaInfo Window RE: The .flv format video:

QSettings finds more ways to annoy me every time I try to use it to do something new. Very soon we'll most likely want to create our own settings handler.

Because I like the current format it will stay it's just the parser that will change--should allow us to use certain symbols that QSettings didn't let us use (or clobbered). This is becoming very evident in the custom-keybindings branch where Alt+1 becomes Alt%2B1...

Dependent on issue #21

Once keybindings are settled/set up for Baka-MPlayer, The interface for selecting and setting the keybindings should be graphical in nature, i.e. should utilize a GUI, not a text .ini file to set the properties of the keybindings.

Why? It is more straightforward in a video application to expect settings to have Graphical Dialog Interfaces rather than needing to open a text editor to jimmy around with pertainent text fields, saving the .ini file or what have you, and reopening the video application. That seems inefficent.

A more polished way of working would be to have the user open a Graphical Dialog, modify the desired parameters, apply the changes on-the-fly, and close the dialog. Then continue playing the Video content.

This is how most modern Video Players interact with users, and seems the least intrusive method of interaction.

Not sure if there is any intention of baka-mplayer being available from context menu, if so the Exec= line should end with %a letter (in gnome3 env
Possibles would be U,u,F,f
Ex.
Exec=baka-mplayer %U

General Issues

• Dim desktop
  • Window doesn't fill the screen on Ubuntu.
  • Window covers screen on Windows.

Windows Specific Issues

• mpv's status message overlay is not shown (probably because we're missing lua)
• @godly-devotion Quick Open button's image is kinda cropped out (doesn't happen with the playlist button).

Features

• Mark the currently playing file in playlist
• OpenSubtitles.org integration
• Optional: after a file has finished playing (or played up to a certain percentage of the total duration), strike out the playlist item to show that they've watched it already.
  • As bonus, we can have an option that deletes the watched videos.
• Tray icon
  • Clicking the icon toggles play/pause (show popup saying Playing/Paused)
  • If opened file is an audio file, show pop up showing {artist} - {title} or just file name (without extension) if id3 info is not available. The Hide popup setting under preferences basically hides this popup if checked.

Information for the user about us and the project as well as a user manual.

Dialogs are done; just need a user manual.

With left Alt it should also unfullscreen the player, but it doesn't.

Travis allows us to see if the current build successfully compiles or not. It also has a build history so we can see at what point exactly that the builds fails to compile.

http://docs.travis-ci.com

Edit: At the time of this writing, Travis is using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, which does not have all the Qt5 files we need for it to compile successfully. For now, the files related to Travis has been moved to etc/travis/.

This is the error dialog window I am seeing without deviation for every instance of opening a .flac format auido file via the method "File" > "Open File" > (browse to file location in File Manager, aka Windows Explorer) > select .flac format audio file for Playback > click pre-hilighted "Open" button.

More: The file will play, after I minimize the Error Dialog, but this is unexpected behavior.

Location:

Reason: focusWindow will be 0 if anything is clicked outside of our program which is useful. The only other problem is that when dragging by the top handle it will be 0 resulting in lights going off, this is a side effect which will have to stay for now.

It would be great if one of the menu items in baka-mplayer had a list of recently viewed files (presumably with the most recent at the top and least recent at the bottom) so that it's easy to find and reopen files that you viewed recently but didn't finish (or like to review frequently). IIRC, vlc and smplayer both default to 10 files, though it would be great if it were configurable. I'd probably be a bit extreme about it and want to make the list 100+ files long (which I can do with smplayer by editing its config file directly - while it's configurable, it normally maxes out at something like 20), so 10 is a bit low for what I'd like, but it's probably enough for most folks and even just having a list would be great. Similarly, it would be great if you could delete items from the list by clicking on a delete icon next to it or right-clicking and selecting delete or whatever made sense; being able to delete items becomes more critical when you're loony like me and have 100+ files in the list, but I expect that it isn't really required for most folks (I usually get around the lack of such functionality in smplayer by editing its config file directly). The only functionality along those lines that vlc and smplayer provide is to clear the entire list, not remove individual items. So, I certainly don't think that it's critical to be able to delete individual items from the list, but it definitely would be nice. Regardless, having a list of recently viewed files would be a nice addition and bring baka-mplayer's feature set closer to that of more mature video players (or even ahead in this case if it allowed for the deletion of individual items or let the list be configured to be ridiculously long).

I wish this wasn't the case, but I'm going to go through all my video formats and report the nonplayables to the Issue Tracker (for better or worse). Hopefully I am THE ONLY ONE experiencing these technical difficulties, and they can be ruled out as a quirk on my system, and the program and build are OKAY.

Here is the MediaInfo on the .m4v movie:

Now too familiar error message:

MediaInfo for the Video:

Also got an error log.txt file:

After uninstalling, and trying out the 1.5.0 x86 Windows Target from Softpedia's Mirror location, I can happily report that the beforementioned Issue Reports I submitted RE: Video formats playing audio, but black/blank screen seem to be contained to the x86_64 Target release for Windows, and not something that affects the 1.5.0 release on the x86 Target release as well. I would reccomend Windows users stick to the x86 build until the x86_64 Target gets some more work done on it.

Unfortunately it seems this file: Baka MPlayer/Baka MPlayer.settings needs to be deleted between playback sessions. Some kind of corruption of the settings file going on???

Baka MPlayer will throw this message window:

if you launch the program from a Shortcut of the .exe you place on the Windows Desktop or anywhere else.

I designed the original website back in powerpoint...this was before I started using Illustrator...
http://bakamplayer.u8sand.net

I wouldn't mind making baka-mplayer builds avail. for ubuntu 14.04 & higher but see an issue I can't figure out.
If using cmake then the builds are successful, whether the 2.0 release or the current git switched back to a cmake build.
However if doing current git with qmake it always fails to find libmpv-dev. - ex.
make[1]: Entering directory '/build/buildd/baka-mplayer-2.0.0'
sh make.sh
Project ERROR: mpv development package not found
On the other hand the same debian package build done locally with qmake works.
If anyone has any ideas that would be great, if need be I can provide links to the build logs
Thanks

Support for selecting audio/video/subtitle tracks as well as external subtitles; chapter support and media information.

As you might know, mpv has removed support for playing Youtube and etc. This was because the library they used--libquvi--was buggy and is not being actively maintained properly.
Livestreamer is a command line utility (seems to have API) that can pipe the video stream into mpv.
Being able to play Youtube videos and etc will definitely be useful (and will also match the old Baka MPlayer's features, although that feature has been broken for sometime...)
