Release v1.0.13

[BazzaCuda]

Windows 64-bit binaries.

New Functionality

• Ctrl-S will toggle subtitles on or off.
• Any number of windows can now be auto-arranged using Ctrl-9. If there are more than 4, however, MinimalistMediaPlayer will resize them all to a manageable size but leave you to then arrange them as you wish.
• MinimalistMediaPlayer will try to play a video at the largest window size for your desktop while maintaining the correct aspect ratio for the video. With the majority of videos, the height of your screen will typically be the limiting factor, not the width. Therefore, MMP will try to play at maximum screen width and then adjust according to the screen height.
• F5 takes a screenshot of the current frame.

Things to note about screenshots:

1. The default location for screenshots is the folder in which the video file resides.
2. This is because the setting for screenshot-directory= in mpv.conf is empty.
3. You can override this default location by editing the following line in mpv.conf to your desired location:
   screenshot-directory=C:\somefolder\somesubfolder\
4. mpv.conf should be in the same folder as MinimalistMediaPlayer.exe and is read each time a media file is started.
5. You don't have to pause a video to take a screenshot, although of course you can.
6. The screenshot will be of the frame being displayed at the point you press F5.
7. Screenshots are saved in PNG format.
8. Screenshots are in the same resolution as the frame and no compression is applied. This allows you to use your software of choice to manipulate the image to whichever resolution you prefer or to stick with the highest resolution possible.
9. Screenshot files are named after the video file (without the file extension) plus the timestamp of the frame (HH_MM_SS) plus a 4-digit number unique within the video file's screenshots so that multiple frames can be saved from the same second of video: <video-file> HH_MM_SS nnnn.png
10. The 4-digit number is sequential in the order in which you take screenshots for the same video file regardless of the timestamp of each screenshot. So you might screenshot a frame at 10 seconds ("0001") and then another at 5 seconds ("0002").
11. You can step (arrow left or arrow right) through frames and take a screenshot of each frame. The resultant files may have the same HH_MM_SS timestamp but will be made unique by the additional 4-digit number.
12. If you have subtitles on, the screenshot will contain any subtitle currently being displayed. If you want the screenshot(s) without the displayed subtitle(s), you can toggle subtitles off temporarily while you take the screenshot(s).

Fixes

• Previously, the window could not be dragged around by the left mouse button while the [P] playlist panel was being displayed. Now, holding down a CTRL key and dragging with the left mouse is also possible regardless of whether the [P] playlist panel is open or not.

If you have any questions, I wouldn't be at all surprised :D

Essential Files (unzip all to the same folder):

• MinimalistMediaPlayer_v1_0_13.zip
  (I strongly recommend that you do not download this file from any source other than Github)

• mediaInfo.zip
  This contains the new v23.09 of MediaInfo.dll - You may stick with the previous version if you wish.
  N.B. You don't need to download this file again if you already downloaded it for a previous version.

• libmpv-2.zip
  This contains the build from 2023/09/17 - You may stick with your current version if you wish.
  N.B. You don't need to download this file again if you already downloaded it for a previous version.

(If you have a lower-spec machine (or you have any issues at all with playback), you may prefer this version of libmpv-2.dll):

• libmpv-2.lower-spec.zip
  This contains the build from 2023/09/17 - You may stick with your current version if you wish.
  N.B. You don't need to download this file again if you already downloaded it for a previous version.

If you prefer, a more recent version of libmpv-2.dll ("mpv-dev-x86_64...") can be downloaded from https://github.com/BazzaCuda/mpv-winbuild/releases.
N.B. The file marked "v3" is for higher spec machines.

Optional Files:

• rot.zip
  You need this file if you want the "file delete" functionality. Without this file, no file deletions will occur even if you confirm them.
  N.B. You don't need to download this file again if you already downloaded it for a previous version.

All comments and suggestions for additional functionality or to highlight operational issues will be well received over on the Discussions page https://github.com/BazzaCuda/MinimalistMediaPlayerX/discussions
