MP 0.20 Win: Will not play any video

Post by JohnFredC »

Select a video in the browser. Preview displays nothing. Display the video in full screen mode. A blank screen displays and video does not play.

Show in preview is enabled in Settings->Browser->File List. Open in "XnView" is also selected. No luck.

0.21:

Video plays in Browser preview, but there is no "movie playbar" to control playback.

Video will not playback directly from browser thumb->full screen mode. To reproduce:

1. Select a video
2. Switch to full screen mode
3. Slideshow playbar appears briefly
4. Blank screen: video does not play

When in full-screen slideshow mode, slideshow stops at videos and will not play. User must click the "next" arrow on the playbar to bypass the video.

It seems to me that integrating video playback into the XnView MP GUI requires more thought and discussion. There will be "conceptual" confusion between the slideshow playbar and the much needed video playback controls.

Yes, video is only in preview currently
