Ideas are also welcome - if there is anything in your current video player that takes too many steps, or is not well enough implemented... or anything else that would make watching movies more enjoyable, let me know.
I know it is still the most used OS, but the UWP platform only works on Windows 10 and has so many advantages that I could not go back to other frameworks (it has been years since last update to those frameworks). Most APIs I use here are Windows 10 only.
Really cool looking. I hope you will continue working on this project and won't abandon it. Reliable and functional video players such as VLC, MPV and MPC-HC have very outdated or purely functional, ugly user interfaces. But I keep using them, because they really are reliable and have a ton of features, lots of customization options. And why is that? It's because of the perseverance of their developers. If you keep working on yours, it has the potential to be truly bullet-proof. I have checked JuMP out. It's clear as day that it's very focused on easy subtitle management and scene skipping (jumping). Pretty unique! But lacks in other areas. Unfortunately, as of yet, it's not ready for prime time in my opinion. I frequently watch movies, shows and anime, but I also edit videos and work with motion graphics, therefore I need a solid media player for production. So far, MPC-HC has been the best to me for both use cases. I do have a couple points of feedback. I'll post them here, and maybe shoot you an email (copy-paste): 1. It's too much about the subtitles! Whenever I open a video file it prompts me to search for subs. This shouldn't be the default behavior. 2. There is no drag-and-drop feature to open files. 3. There is no looping feature. 4. There is no way to skip to a next file, or to load an entire folder for playback as a playlist. 5. While the user interface is heavily inspired by Fluent Design, there is however little regard to UI item spacing and placement. For instance, the filename in the title bar has an oddly large font, leaving little padding on the top and bottom. It would actually benefit from having a smaller font. Even with the big font, it'll still be too small to read from a couch, so filenames or titles can be alternatively displayed for a couple seconds at the beginning of playback in a huge font in the video area. Just an idea - many players do just that. Even if your intent for this piece of software is to only do specialized tasks, like skipping through shows or searching for specific scenes, some of those issues really should be resolved regardless. Performance has been pretty good! It has no issue playing 2160p 60 FPS h.264 and HEVC. I didn't notice any stutters or dropped frames. But it can't play stuff like CineForm. Good luck with your coding adventures. Peace!
Pretty nice software, but scene cuts are way too sensible. For example at 3:40 you have 5 scenes at -0:20 detected. I'd recommend to add a threshold of some-kind. Like no more than 2 scenes each 3 seconds. Also interface is bulky and doesn't fit well. I think that command-bar (settings, play-pause, etc.) can be placed on the line with timecodes (between start\end time) to minimize overall interface. Will wait for newer, upgraded version so far! Player have some really useful functions, but current version seems a bit raw for me...
Thanks for the feedback. It is a work in progress and interface will evolve. So far the zooming-in/out confuses the detection but I am working on that. Expect in next update limiter of number of scenes per second.
Do you mean in the video? It is just a screen recording. A 4th gen Core i5 was able to play it and perform the screen cut analysis at the same time without dropping frames.

Win 7 version please, you will get most users for it

Really cool movie player
Does it support DTS/DD?
It is based on default windows media player so WMP supports it, then this one should too, but I did not implement anything extra related to it.
Why does it lag so much

Tech Guy oh ok. It just bothered me. This is your app right? If so you made an amazing job.
Thanks. Yes, and I am also author of One Commander File Manager.
