zPlayer-mpv

[CYCho]

Dear @Shark007,
I disabled K-Lite and installed Icaros. And my program cannot get the properties (frame height, frame width, frame rate and total bitrate) of MKV files. I checked "Activate" option when installing it. Do I need to do something more to make it work?

Thanks and regards,
CYCho

Being that MKV is covered by the default settings of Icaros, MKV properties should work, out of the box.

The attached image shows that the PROPERTIES are shown as ACTIVATED.

I found that K-Lite Codec Pack and Icaros cannot coexist in one system. When I installed Icaros in another computer which does not have K-Lite, it worked.

In over 5,500 lines of code there are many places where it can be optimized, improved or corrected. I need everyone's help to find such places. I uploaded the latest version in the first post above.

I consider my migration to mpv is complete and will upload the latest version of zPlayer-mpv to the download section of this Forum.

Hi everyone!

In previous versions of zPlayer, playing 4K videos in windowed mode caused an issue where the playback would freeze after about 20 minutes if the video window was completely covered by another window. This was due to the Windows native haviour to suspend video rendering when it is occluded for certain period of time.

This version, uploaded in the first post, bypasses this Windows behaviour in 2 ways. The first is addition of --d3d11-flip=no in mpv command line. This prevents Windows from breaking the hardware acceleration pipeline when the window is hidden. The 2nd is setting the attribute of mpv video window, not AutoIt GUI, to DWMWA_EXCLUDED_FROM_PEEK mode, which takes effect when the video is in minimized state. The top window does not lose focus in either of the cases. These measures proved to be effective both in my desktop (AMD Ryzen 5 3400G with Radeon Vega Graphics) and laptop (Intel Core Ultra 7 with Intel Arc 140V GPU). I would appreciate it very much if the Forum members could let me know how zPlayer performs in minimized and hidden state in their devices, together with the names of CPU and GPU.

Thanks in advance.
