Wow ! Thank you !

Hi, when I press 'U' to enter full screen mode, it works, but the menu bar remains visible. I want to go into "true full screen" mode, with nothing visible except the image. Is this a bug?

btw, the app is incredibly responsive and well-optimized. You did an amazing job!

[darbyjohnston]

@DizzyQuarkArt Thanks! Maybe I could add a setting for full screen mode to hide the UI. I think it's useful to have the UI sometimes, but a true full screen mode would also be nice. Or maybe a keyboard shortcut to toggle the UI off and on? It might also be useful in regular non-full screen mode.

@darbyjohnston Thanks for the reply! I think the best approach would be a keyboard shortcut to toggle the UI visibility in full screen mode. It would also be really helpful if DJV could remember the window position or whether it was in full screen when last opened.

Another feature I’d love to see is the ability to view "EXR" metadata directly in the player. ChaosPlayer has this feature, but I stopped using it because of a strange bug that adds a slight green tint when using "OCIO" configs. Being able to quickly glance at render metadata, like the parameters from Houdini Karma, without needing to open a full compositing app like Nuke/Fusion would be a huge time saver.

Thanks again for your response, and congrats on creating such a fast, responsive app with a beautifully minimal GUI design. I love it.. definitely a 10/10

Cheers man!

@DizzyQuarkArt I created an issue for hiding the UI, I'll try to add it for the next release:
#560

For the metadata, have you tried opening the "Information" window (menu: Tools/Information)? It shows some of the EXR info:

[DizzyQuarkArt]

@darbyjohnston Excellent news!
yeah, it’s not a big deal, but for example ChaosPlayer shows all metadata written in the EXR file, including custom ones like render settings.

Man, can you compile this with the codecs for us who are not technical people? I constantly get a "3.92 tl::io::ffmpeg::Read: ERROR: No video codec found:..[File name]" or if you don't want to do that, at least give us complete instructions on how to "..replace the FFmpeg shared library files" and name the ffmpeg package to use to replace the files and where is that folder etc?

I have tried stuff for an hour now and it doesn't work. yet the old version never gives me ERROR: No video codec found, when i reinstall it.

[darbyjohnston]

Hi @QualityRing, sorry for the troubles, but I'm not able to include the proprietary codecs. Hopefully in an upcoming version I can start adding codecs like AV1 and OpenAPV which can be freely distributed.

[QualityRing]

Thanks, i still think you can explain the installation better than just "To enable full support..replace the FFmpeg shared libraries." i have tried doing that but i have no idea if i am even doing it correctly. At least give us complete instructions on how to "..replace the FFmpeg shared library files" and name the ffmpeg package to use to replace the files and tell us where the folder is etc? You can show us which ffmpeg to get and what to do with it etc. that's all.

I still wonder why the last version worked and still works out of the box. even when i reinstall it, i don't have to fiddle with anything.

[darbyjohnston]

@QualityRing I've been looking into adding support for the Microsoft codecs on Windows, I think the next version will be able to include some support for H264/H265 playback.

[QualityRing]

Yeah, I moved to Linux and build the app man.
