Release v2.0.3

[BazzaCuda]

Windows 64-bit binaries.

Fixes

• corrected the display of cover art when playing an audio file. The window is now sized (600x400) so that the cover art can be seen. If there is no cover art, the default minimalist "letterbox" audio window is used.

Known minor issues

• There are still some minor issues with the Undo (Ctrl-[Z]) and Redo (Ctrl-[Y]) stacks in the video editor (Ctrl-[E]).

NEW

• if auto-centering is on (can be set back on by [H] or [M]), when a new audio or video file is played, the mouse cursor will be automatically positioned in the middle of the progress bar for easy clicking.
• NOW DISPLAYS IMAGE FILES:
  • specifically, files with the extensions .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .png, or .webp.
  • The playlist [P] will include all images, videos and audio files in the current folder.
  • The current image will be displayed until a keyboard control is used to show the next, previous, first or last file in the current folder.
  • This can be overridden in mpv.conf by setting "image-display-duration=" followed by the required number of seconds; in this case, Minimalist Media Player will display a slideshow of consecutive image files. However, currently, MPV only displays each image for 1 second, regardless of the setting in mpv.conf - this will be addressed in a subsequent release.
  • As with videos, an image can be adjusted with the brightness, gamma, saturation, contrast, zoom-in, zoom-out and pan [left, right, up, down] controls.
  • A screenshot [F5] can be taken of the adjusted [brightness, gamma, saturation, contrast] image.
  • screenshots are saved in the current playlist's folder.

Asset files
The "...full.zip" release file below contains everything you need to run Minimalist Media Player:

• MinimalistMediaPlayer.exe
• MediaInfo.dll
• libmpv-2.dll
• ffmpeg.exe
• rot.exe

Alternatively, if you already have any of these from a previous release, you can download the others individually.

MinimalistMediaPlayer_v2_0_2.zip
(I strongly recommend that you do not download this file from any source other than Github)

mediaInfo.zip
This contains the new v24.04 build 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 2024/04/17 - 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 2024/04/17 - 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.

ffmpeg.zip
You need this file if you want the timeline editing (Ctrl-[E]) functionality. Without this file, nothing will happen when you click "Export" unless you already have FFMPEG.exe installed and on your system path. Even then, some builds of FFMPEG are not compatible with all the functionality that MMP uses and it would be better to use the build provided here and to unzip it to the same folder as the MMP executable.
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

Thanks for taking an interest in Minimalist Media Player!
