 an opinion

First impressions: 1) nice idea for a simple player 2) wtf interface is this? No play/pause/stop buttons, gui is unresponsive upon starting, although very nice menu pops up for me to choose what to play after a few seconds of bewilderment 3) Fullscreen works ok, but only if movie window is selected, else kicker stays visible 4) no sound control or subtitle loading but 5)player overall feels so right that I must make some

Suggestions: 1) adding control bar, volume and slider to the GUI would be great - amaroK style, which means nice and uncluttered 2) the control GUI should be dockable, ie. easily made a part of the movie window and undocked to function in order it now does, again somewhat reminiscent of amaroK behaviour 3) fullscreen menu for complete DVD navigation in Kaffeine's fashion (on left-click lil' gui appears with basic controls, would go very well with overall amaroKish feeling). 3) Definitely an option to configure and load subs, both divx and dvd ;). Thanx for the preview of possibly great player...

P.S. My system is Mdk 10 with Qt/KDE 3.3, if it should matter in regard of any issues I mentioned...

I'm afraid you have been an idiot. You didn't make install, if you don't make install with KDE applications the UI files don't get installed and you don't have an interface! Of course there are play/pause buttons you wally! Didn't you even look at the screenshot.

Fool.

I get 4 or 5 emails a month from users slagging me off for not adding a toolbar and not putting anything useful in the menuitems with regard to Filelight. It is most frustrating, and is all down to them not installing Filelight before they try to use it. I emphasise as much as I can that you simply must make install the application or you will not get an interface. This is common to any KDE application that uses the KXMLGUI system. Now naturally the application should alert the user that the interface files were not found, I only wish I could. KDElibs unfortunately is at fault here, and it needs to be corrected.

Fortunately amaroK doesn't work at all if you don't install it so we don't have to put up with this kind of complaint/bad first impression.

Anyway, I apologise for losing my temper. With regard to the unresponsive startup, you have a point, I'll make the cursor the busy cursor, I'm not sure how this slipped my mind. The delay is due to xine initialising. This has to be done at some point, so I do it after the window appears to make startup seem faster.

It is true about the kicker and fullscreen issue. I'm not sure why this happens, perhaps I need to set the window to be always on top also? Would seem daft, KWin should handle that.

I do like the idea of a left click in fullscreen mode showing the control window.

Definitely an option to configure and load subs, both divx and dvd ;)

What do you mean?

I like the idea of making it possible to dock the video window, but am not sure of it yet. I considered that route before but in the end have always preferred 2 window video players.

Again I apologise for my previous comment, it is clear from your post that you took the time to write a response and that you were being constructive and often very kind. It's just this particular issue has come to drive me crazy.. Thanks,

Max

 good start

Well I agree with a lot of what the poster above me has said.. but this is a very nice beginning..
I have a play/pause button, so thats fine, though the ability to fast foreward would be nice :) also a volume slider would be a good idea.
Its odd to see a program integrated with KDE yet with completely separate color and style schemes, a option to use the default KDE scheme might be nice at some point but definitely isnt like critical or anything..
A option to disable the screen that comes up asking you what you'd like to do would also be nice, though its a nice feature..
All in all I'd say my first impression of this is that it will likely be replacing my kaffeine soon enough, as I do not much like kaffeines new layout, especially compared to this

Thanks..

With regard to codeine not using your configured kde colour scheme and style, I can only assume you ran the application as root because I assure you Codeine doesn't pick its own scheme or colours! It is a completely standard KDE application.

I confess I see no reason to make the initial dialog optional, it doesn't appear if you open Codeine via Konqueror etc. so why would you open Codeine if you didn't first want to play some media?

I'd like to add fast forward/rewind as I think they are useful. Volume slider will be coming, although personally I think there are already too many volume sliders on your average computer without media players getting cluttered with them too.

Thanks for the comments.

Temper, temper my friend, calling ppl idiots isn't that appealing for further feedback... good thing I am not that vain to refuse an apology, so it is ok... next time, though... ;). I actually did make install for your personal info, only I did ./configure without --prefix=/usr, which is an obviously an issue on Mandrake, that is why I added Post Scriptum which goes " My system is Mdk 10 with Qt/KDE 3.3, if it should matter in regard of any issues I mentioned..." Key word - issues ;). I recompiled, the buttons are there, but still most of my points are on the spot, imho - control bar needs few buttons more, stop, back, fwd, which, I see, you plan to add... and subs - well, I haven't seen an option to load/unload subtitles for any kind of films/media. Docking just as an option would be nice, as well as comprehensive settings dialogue, and splash screen would solve the problem with initial unresponsiveness... hope you like this post more than previous one...

I liked both posts very well, after I had calmed down... :) I can only apologise for my temper, a problem that plagues me all the time, and gives me no benefits.

Anyway I will look into the subtitle support. I confess that I was not aware that you could have subtitles on anything apart from VCD and DVD. So I'll have to do some research. I promise beta2 or 3 will have full-subtitle support.

Stop is actually there, play is a toggle button. This is different to other players, and I'm seeing how it pans out. If people don't like it I'll deactivate the toggle. Back and forwards are only useful in a single-use player as rewind/fast-forwards which I do plan to try to implement. In dvd's/cds they are useful so they will pop-up when required as another toolbar in these cases.

I think I have been convinced to make docking possible too.

Thanks!

I'd love too see some decent subtitle support...
Some of us like to watch those wacky asian martial arts movies with subs(srt's)...

How about renaming Codeine to Kodeine to help emphasise the fact this project is a KDE app?

You should somehow associate the name with amaroK. Not that I'm sure how.

I really like the concept fast/simple/clean 2 window player. If I want a featurefull and messed player I switch to the original xine gui. Just click and play almost instaneous... gooood

Also agree on the volume control, there is alsamixer, kmix, that round thing on my table atached to my speakers, on the keyboad, etc. But if many people wants, a little bar at right is not annoying.

Only a glitch, the position bar does not work. 99% of the times it goes to (the end of the movie - 5secs).

What about making it a "unique instance" app? I mean clicking on konqueror opens the movie in the running player. ¿do someone see two films at the same time?

Only to say I should remove the spectrum-o-meter also :)

I'll probably add a volume control, but make it hidden by default.

Should be fixed for beta2 that will be released later this week. I'd release today but I'm about to go away for a few days..

KUniqueApplications have slower startup, but also I quite like having two movies etc. at once.. But I see your point, it's handy for Konqi usage. You can drag and drop files though. I tend to do that.

I added that because I quite like them, and also because the code was already written and bug free from amaroK. It'll be easy to remove for beta3.

Thanks! :)
