Or sense maximizing the player window and auto-make it full-screen. * Full-screen button? Double-clicking the video window should do it. * Do really so many users want to enable to random playback or fine-tune the EQ that you granted those buttons a premier location? * Why wasting the horizontal space for the audio slider? Make it a fly-out. ![]() Again, separation of Pause/Stop is a thing of the tape-deck past. If I want to start the video over, I move the timeline slider to the left. if I want to stop watching video, I EXIT the program. There is “Pause” for that (Play/Pause toggle button). Why not give the users a usable timeline slider which allows them to navigate to any video position precisely. * Who ever uses FastForward/-Backwards buttons? It is an obsolete remains of the tape-deck days. It is rendered useless as you made it impossible to navigate precisely through the video. * The video timeline slider is one of the MOST important UI control but you made it ridiculously narrow. Really final? IMHO, it repeats all the mistakes of the past 20 years of media player design. Posted on FebruOctoAuthor feepk Categories VideoLAN as part of Google Summer of Code 2011, which allowed me to work on it fulltime without worries. NB: Development of the interface wouldn’t have been possible without a stipend from Google Inc. VLC 2.0 will be available later this week on. Speaking of that, we also added support for VLC’s lua-based extensions, which allow you to get info about the current movie from Allociné, post to Twitter, fetch subtitles automatically, etc.įor the main window, you’ll have the choice between a gray and a black window style. Besides that, the interface is noticeably faster and easily expandable. Playlist and video output share the same window, service discovery modules can be easily accessed through a sidebar and various audio + video filters are available through the respective panels. VLC 2.0’s interface for Mac is dramatically different from its previous revision, both technically and usage-wise. A re-write called Lunettes appeared in late 2009 and finally converged in VLC for iOS. Since then, it was more or less unchanged with minor optimisations here and there. The interface of VLC for Mac as you know it dated back to the 0.7.0 days with various additions until the 0.8.6 release (in 2008!). After slightly chaotic approaches and a few near death experiences for VLC’s Mac OS X port, we’re really proud of the result. ![]() Jean-Baptiste Kempf and me started to collect ideas for this interface in the summer of 2008. Since the release of VLC 2.0 is approaching, I thought it was time to publish its final interface design by Damien Erambert. shamil on MobileVLCKit and VLCKit, part 2.feepk on MobileVLCKit and VLCKit, part 2.VLC media player for iOS, iPadOS and tvOS version 3.3.Quicktime used to have nice options for blacking the other screens or not, etc. Because someone literally went in and deleted working code. This is why I just can't use iTunes or Quicktime for watching video content anymore. Not to mention that you should have the option of actually using your other monitor for actual work. It doesn't even do the slightly less broken behavior of giving you black on the other monitor, it literally fills it up with that ridiculous linen repeated pattern so that it can optimally annoy you as you are watching the movie. Forces you to look at linen (!!!) in the other monitor. So if you click it on your left hand monitor it jumps to your right hand monitor.Ģ. Forces you to full screen on the main monitor regardless of which monitor the window is currently in. Namely, if you have two monitors, native fullscreen is completely broken as it:ġ. It provides zero functionality over "non-native" (?) fullscreen, and actually severely degrades the experience in many situations. I can't believe this option is enabled by default, native fullscreen mode is by all accounts a bug marketed as a feature in Lion, especially for a video player. ![]()
