My video player allows for playing back local files (via a built-in file-browser) and remote files (from sites like youtube or rtp or mms streams) 

 

It is based upon the gstreamer engine shipped with Sailfish OS and only supports codecs that are supported by that gstreamer layer.

Current features include:

  • Cover with pause and play function
  • Open local files with file browser (except version 0.6) & video file picker (since version 0.6)
  • Open remote files via url (detects youtube urls and is able to play them)
  • Open URL Page with history of the 10 last played urls (local or remote)
  • Youtube Search Page integrated
  • Timeline with ability to hide/unhide and scroll through media file
  • Show media metadata
  • Registers mimetypes for audio and video files in Sailfish OS automatically (for opening up with xdg-open or via jolla-fileman and others)
  • Can be used from terminal (e.g. harbour-videoPlayer /path/to/local/file) 
  • Subtitle support for *.srt files 
  • Get artist information over Wikipedia
  • Get more videos from same artist on Youtube
  • History support
  • Integrated youtube-dl support  (see supported sites: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html)
  • TOHKBD shortcuts support
  • Playlist support (Creating, Opening, Saving PLS files)
  • Download Youtube Videos and Audios in different formats

Play only as audio would bring what benefit?
If you only want to listen to the audio part you can turn off the screen.
The playlist support allows you to add a whole folder to the playlist and play it back.
Remembering file position is included aswell. I am not sure what you mean by higher security. In terms of power consumption there is no difference playing an audio or video file when the screen is turned off.
I think the multiple files for one topic thing can be achieved with playlist support already included.

I can't install it in SailfishOS 2.0.2.48 from Warehouse.
I tried to install last version from Terminal but I got an error with python:
"File ./core/i486/python-2.7.9-1.4.2.i486.rpm not found on medium 'https://releases.jolla.com/releases/2.0.2.48/jolla/i486/"

Try refreshing the package list with

in terminal.

Kudos for this awesome SFOS application.
I stumbled over a little annoying bug, though:
When opening a YouTube video from the bookmarks, the video quality chooser in the lower right corner is not displayed!
This is not the case (i.e. the video quality chooser is there), when opening a video from YouTube search.
Tested with LLs Video Player v1.4 under SFOS 2.0.1.11

It is a technical limitation as it saves the direct url to the video. So no quality chooser.

Thanks for the clarification, although I think this is a bit unfortunate.
So one should set the video quality first and bookmark then, correct?
NB: The (otherwise inferior) YTPlayer (from Jolla Store or Warehouse) handles that better. (Unfortunately the Video URLs are not visible in YTPlayer's bookmarks at the GUI, so I cannot quickly check, how.)

Version 1.5 should fix this annoyance. So bookmarks on youtube videos should add the original youtube url (not the stream url).

llelectronics's picture

llelectronics

Thu, 2016/07/21 - 18:52

Yes exactly. Though I am not sure if the url is then always available or if it expires. (Google does some of this stuff on its videos to prevent people from downloading them)

edit: Regarding YTPlayer it might save the URL to the Youtube Video (not the direct video stream url) and then when clicking on the bookmark tries getting the real stream urls which grabs all available quality streams. 
I will take a look into if I can manage to do the same when I update the bookmarkmanager.

Hi,

I am using your fantastic app, as many others, but I have tried the recently posted Kodi package:

https://openrepos.net/content/krnlyng/kodi

It's very nice too, but has issues to decode big videos on the jolla phone, such as full HD mkv with DTS sound, whereas the same video plays super smoothly with Lls vPlayer.

If you have any idea how to improve Kodi about this, that would be nice if you could post some comments/suggestions on Kodi openrepos' frontpage.

Thanks!

cheers.

Thanks for notifying me. I send an answer to your thread there. In general my player simply uses the officially supported libs to for media playback that use gstreamer and hardware acceleration in the background for it through the android driver.

Hello,

I cannot play avi files, only mp4 files.

Should I install anything else?

Than ks in advance.

Depends on the codec used in the avi container.
You can try installing those and see if it works: https://openrepos.net/content/larswad/gstreamer-1x-bad-extra-codecs-145

Hi,

Thank you for your app.

Until now I used VLC for Android but yesterday, with the new update, I discovered your player. It works as well. Tested video and audio, all were working.
Thank a lot.

Nice that you solved it.
But it basically has nothing todo in particular with my video player it's more of a general SailfishOS thing I guess.
Though maybe others encounter that problem and can reproduce your solution :)

For better subtitle reading, you could use in the videoPlayer.qml the following properties for the Label item:

            //color: subtitlesColor
            color: "white" //white color not present in Silica ColorDialog
            style: Text.Outline
            styleColor: "black"

This way, choosing the color is not necesary, because white letters with black outline can be read on any color in the movie.

Last time I tried that there were some performance problems. 
Also in general I want to let the user choose the color. 

But I will take a look at how to make that more configurable.

hey,

Is it possible to choose in .mkv audio source, if there are more available ?

and not sure if you or someone can answer to this:

still confused about playable media files in sailfish os.
have 3 files (.mkv containers).
1 H264-mpeg-4 AVC 1280x720
2 H264-mpeg-4 AVC 1280x546
3 H264-mpeg-4 AVC 720x306
only 1st is playable.
what else should I check to know compatibility with system (Gstreamer) ?
display aspect ratio ?
bitrate ?
writing library ?

so I can avoid files which are not compatible/ playable.

I am on last sailfish - 2.0.0.10 and should have additional codecs installed.

I will check also to run it in terminal and try to understand output.

thank you.

Unfortunately there is no audio track changing available in the API. 

As for the various different videos. Can you be more specific ? Which Audio & Video Codecs do you use ? 

Normally resolution shouldn't be a problem as long as it isn't larger then fullhd. 
Getting the error message from Gstreamer is very helpful to figure out whats going on.

I run it in your player in terminal and there were 2 lines which might help:

[D]  QGstreamerVideoWindow::QGstreamerVideoWindow:72 - No m_videoSink available!

and

[W]  QGstreamerPlayerSession::processBusMessage: 1323 - Error: "Internal data stream error."

LLs Video Player v0.9  ( warehouse shows, Installed: 1.0-1 )

Gstreamer ugly and extra bad codecs 1.4.5 installed.

does this help you somehow ?

thanks

Hi llectronics!

We've got some problems here with 2.0.0.10 (Saimaa) when we try to install, it simply fails. It doesn't report any missing package or nothing :(

Can you try installing the rpm manually via the terminal?
Also do you have python installed?

Version 0.9.9 won't install on 2.0.0.10. All I get is an error and a buffer wheel at the end of the app list, that only disappears if I restart the device.

I also cannot uninstall the version I've already got, 0.9.5. Seems like some tweaking is required.

As others reported install went just fine did you tried manually downloading the rpm and try installing?
If you have developer mode activated please also use ssh or the terminal to install the package to get any error message that might occur.
