nPlayer for Nspire CX
« on: January 21, 2012, 12:55:27 pm »
Here is a test release of nPlayer for the CX.  It is still an early version, but it does do what it is supposed to do:  play videos.  Its drawbacks are that there is no file compression (not too big of an issue with the CX memory  >:D) and it does not allow videos smaller than the Nspire screen.  Nevertheless, here is a video of it in action (sorry for the large size, link is below) and the file is attached!  This won't work on the non-CX models, it is for the CX only.  Both versions will be combined when I update this on ticalc, this is just a test version for those who have asked for it on the CX!  Also, I will upload the player to the Omnimaga archives!

Looks great, I'll need to test it at some point. Was the process of creating videos for it made easier since last version?  IIRC you had to separate all frames of an AVI file into BMP format then merge them back together using command prompt or something.

EDIT: Downloading Super is a major PITA, because it keeps looping back to the home page in some browsers and the link is hard to find on others, so here's a direct download link (copy/paste it in your address bar http://www.erightsoft.biz/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe )

EDIT: Ok Apcalc you definitively need to find an alternative for video compression because SUPER doesn't work properly under WIndows 7 64 bits. After the conversion finished, no BMP files are present in the newly created folder. :/

I guess you can use ImageMagick or Photoshop?

How long can a video be before it's over 128 mb?
You just lost the game.

I had to delete 2 .wad files for doom to fit the video on my nspire D: (I can always rotate between video and .wads though)

Very Nice!
Unfortunately, I am getting this.  Oh well, still amazing though.

I know, the file sizes are huge.  I did not even attempt to add any compression yet, I only released it in this stage because people were asking for it! :)

That is strange.  Make sure the "video.cvid.tns" is in the My Documents/video directory and try again.  If that does not work, please email me the video file (email in my profile) so I can take a look! :)

How long can a video be before it's over 128 mb?

I'm not sure, I did not test it.  My example takes up about half of my memory and it is around 45 seconds.

Sadly, I don't know of any fix for this. :(  I wish I could find a better way, but I have not yet found one.

WOW silly me ;D  I had them both, the vid and nplayer, in a subfolder in a folder in "my docs", not its own folder IN "my docs" (if that makes any sense). It plays, however it is playing different variants of these,




Oddly I was on NOVER previous to opening nplayer and it gave me this,

sorry for the huge pics

Regards, Nathan
