FLV Player 2.0 wishlist

27 April 2006 | filed under projects, software | 6 comments

I’m looking for bèta testers for a new version of FLV Player. Interested? Read this post to find out more on how to participate.

FLV iconI’m looking for feedback on how to improve FLV Player. FLV Player is rather simple at the moment, but I want to make some time to improve it, as a lot of people seem to use and enjoy it. Also, I have been provided with a license for mProjector by the kind folks at Screentime, so that also brings a Mac version into view. Thanks guys!

My personal wishlist…

  • better detection of available metadata, so resize buttons always work (I found a way to do this using good ol’ Video object instead of the MediaPlayback component I’m currently using)
  • add fullscreen option
  • add multi language system for texts in UI
  • add possiblity to cueue FLV’s and play in sequence
  • add access to deblocking filters and video smoothing
  • check if FLV file association still exists on startup (and restore automatically)
  • remember last position on screen
  • error reporting if RTMP stream is not found
  • check for new version automatically
  • Mac OS X version

Wishlist from visitors so far:

  • Display time in HH:MM:SS:MS format
  • Optionally display video only, without UI
  • Frame-by-frame comparison shortcut
  • Zoom-lock, remember zoom preference
  • Pallette swatch to change background color (perhaps even a “load background image” option?)
  • Always on top option
  • Save current FLV frame as JPEG

    It would be nice to have the option to halve the size of the video like on youtube.

    Keep up the good work and thanks for the player!

    It would be nice to make Fullscreen on Secondary Desktop and not when I press that i only see on Primary Display Fullscreen. So it will be nice to see videos on Youtube or other sides on TV at Fullscreen. Thank you for the player, nice work !

    A loop or repeat AB option.
    I’d take loop over AB any day, but both are nifty to have.

    Martin:

    Thank you for this wonderful program. It has been a real helpo. One thing, besides the full screen or better yet drag to any size feature is the ability to set the player up for repeat play so that it loops continuously.

    Is there any way, perhaps with javascript, to have a link that not only loads your player & an rtmp stream from Akamai, but have it open in fullscreen mode automatically?
