1. The player is not compatible with Vista Aero.

2. The volume bar and colour settings should not use the progress bar of Windows, because Vista displays an animation for it, which is annoying in this case.

3. It would be nicer, if the options would get icons (Play DVD = disk, Open URL = globe, etc.)

4. Ability to make screenshots

5. The about window should also read out and display MPlayer version information

6. The player seems not to be able to handle .m3u and .asx files.

7. Clip information could also contain ID3v2 information by the commands "-demuxer lavf"

8. An option to allow only one instance of the player.

Any response?

Btw: Is there already a date for a new version?

[doob]

I think I can answer 1 and 2. The reason for that is that rules player uses an old version of DWT that is ported from SWT 3.0.2 win32 or something like that. That means it uses the win32 API not the new WPF on vista and no one has ported SWT WPF to D, yet.

Thanks.

Hopefully this will be fixed with the new interface.

Thanks for the reply!

Of course, your features are not complicated. If I get my hands on the player once again I will implement them. But the way things are going I don't think I will have the chance to spare time for fun I don't even have the time to use it, let alone develop it.

In other words, the project is dead?

[bobef]

Well I wouldn't call it dead. It is not that I don't want to continue the project (in which case it would be dead), it is just my lack of time (which is unlikely to change). If someone founds a fund for sponsoring the development or something, so I don't have to work something else, I will gladly continue the development
