LLs Video Player
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

successfully updated it, but it doesn't remember the position of any file played, do I need to do something special for the feature to be activated? I am running 1.1.9.28

Sorry about that man, just saw the settiing, i guess i was a little too anxious. For anyone that needs this amazing feature and gets confused like I did, just play the file and use the pulley menu to select "play from last known position"
Thanks a million man, I am really appreciative. Can I make one more request please?... Stretch to display.

On the player page hidden in the Pulley Menu should be an entry "Play from last known position"

I feel I can never thank you enough man, I am so grateful to your work.
Can I expect the stretch to display feature to be implemented? some videos are not full screen a way to stretch those videos to fill the entire screen would be so awesome.
Anyway, thanks again man. CENO is grateful to you

I will take a look at it now that Gstreamer 1.4 is there in 1.1.9 it might be possible.

Not sure what the problem is.
Can you paste the full error somewhere (nopaste service)
Can you try installing python manually?

update 1.1.9.28 seems to have fixed the audio bug in gstreamer I used to complain about some videos with low audio quality loosing their sound after 1 minute 26 seconds of playback. But still no flv support as LLs video player returns "internal data stream error" message.
What about the remember last file position option? Is it still a long way out? Thanks once again for the player man

The FLV error is a gstreamer limitation. The codecs seem not to be supported by gstreamer 1.x
I hope that someone will either add an extra codec gstreamer build or Jolla will fix it with an update. (I think they should have the license for it)
Last File Open Position is implemented already in git: https://github.com/llelectronics/videoPlayer/commit/5570693daac46316f4b3...
As you can see this was pushed on 2nd September already. I guess it is time for a new rpm release :)

if i pause the video for a few seconds and switch to other app and return to it the app closes itself and a ghost of the app appears in the multitasking view and if that is clicked the app reopens it self..
If this is a bug of the app or the OS??
cause in previous versions of os or the player i had no problems of resuming the video after texting or browsing something

It is OS specific. The oomkiller killed the app apparently as there was too much ram used.
OS Version 1.1.9.28 introduced that app covers of killed apps won't dissappear. That explains the app reopening when clicked.

Audio codecs of some kind seem broken after 1.1.9.28.
No sound, it also.reports unknown format before starting video without sound.
Fix plz?
Edit: Think its ac3 that didn't work.

1.1.9.28 uses new Gstreamer 1.x which misses some codecs as it seems.

See last git commit from a few minutes ago. I added this feature now.
It only saves the last known position for local files on swiping back the video player page for now and adds a pulley menu entry "Play from last known position" if it found the video in its database. The database saves the last known positions for the latest 10 files only. (I can raise the limit but for now it seems to be a reasonable limit)
All in all its a bit hacky as the players code was never intended to work this way. Not sure if this will ever work perfectly or if it can be improved to save the last position on closing the app. (without back swiping the media player)

I definitely am grateful for the commitment, and I will never fail to show my gratefulness for the good work you put on... Limit to 10 is far better than none, I am not sure if everybody is as determnine as I am to seeing this feature fully implemented, but watching movies on my jolla just got better.
I am off to testing the latest update, will get back to you...
Thanks again
Just tried it and the option isn't implemented on 0.9-8 there is no option to remember the last position of file on the pulley menu, and it doesn't remember the last positon of any file. Is there any extra procedure I have to undergo? I have uninstalled and installed it again to no avail... I am really in need of this feature, so I am anxiously anticipating any feedback. Thanks

Any hint to select language while playing a multi-lingual video? (audio and/or sub-titles)

Works fine with local files.
But openurl doesn't work: "Your GStreamer installation is missing a plug-in"

Might be that the stream you are trying to watch is using a codec which isn't supported by the system.

For soundcloud I had best experiences not using m.soundcloud.net but only soundcloud.net

I think some url support is broken. (Soundcloud works fine withouth "m."Is possible to update youtube-dl from shell?
llelectronics

You can. However as it found a stream with the m. but a stream which isn't supported by gstreamer which is the multimedia backend used by my player I guess its nothing wrong with the url support. Its just that the stream on the m. is a different one it found than the one the desktop site.

I've asked because dailymotion and other sites don'twork and i've tried some links that you used on your YoutubeVideo.
Where is installed youtube-dl?
llelectronics
Thu, 08/27/2015 - 10:12

It is located in /usr/share/harbour-videoPlayer/qml/pages/helper/
If upgrading makes those links working again please notify me about it so I will update the rpm to include the newest version of youtube-dl

Yeah! It works now!
I'm not a developer but maybe you can automize "youtube-dl -U"
Thanks a lot.
