Mike--
For curtain effect, look at the
Tron demo here:
http://www.objreader.com/index.php?topic=14.0or at the "Accordion" here:
http://www.objreader.com/index.php?topic=16.0this kind of animation would be very easy to add, once i have turned all the CreateWindowEx controls, into GDImage widget.
We could also have a marquee effect to display
.srt subtitle while playing video.
Indeed, i would like to have all my media players into one single application.
"MovieBox", "BassBox", "BB64", "BassBox radio", and "Media settings".
About playing videos, many of the new players are based on the latest Mircosoft API, for example:
"Movie and TV", "Netflix", "Molotov".
And several are build upon VLClib, like "Popcorn Time"...
While VLClib works great, it requires a huge Framework.
When using the Microsoft API, there is nothing to install, because everything is already provided by the OS itself.
The main reason why i would like to switch to 64-bit, is because many of the new movies i have, couldn't be played with a 32-bit player, due to their very large size (above 4 Gb).
Did you read what i said about "Media Foundation" vs "Media Session" ?
