Videos playing and no option to stop

Post by faltonico »

Hello!
Were is the option to stop Xnview MP from handling videos in fullscreen now? version 1.8.0.

This was not enough:

unchecking Video (Settings > View > Filter) is enough to skip video files in Viewer Norm/Fullscreen and Browser Fullscreen
if you have problems - reinstall app (including deleting xnview.ini)

I did just that. And when scrolling to a video, you could still see the place the video was, it just that it showed a black screen.

Do you use fullscreen from viewer tab or browser?

I think it was Browser > Viewer > Fullscreen

Edit: Is there a way to enable notifications? I feel bad for responding so late, i don't have a habit of checking this often, so sorry.

I can't believe this...
I uninstalled the old version and reinstalled the newer one to reproduce the INI file... And i was still seeing the "black screen"...
It suddenly occurred to me, what if it was trying to open another type of file? So i dumped a bunch of images in a folder and some videos, and i didn't get any black screen nor i saw any videos, (i was having the issue in a download folder with a bunch of unsorted stuff). So i went and viewed the properties of that black screen file to know what it was, and it was this:

The problem was that the new version of Xview MP is trying to view .cbz files while in full screen -__-
This wasn't happening in older versions.

Even funnier thing is that it can't see over a dozen different cbz files, but it does see this one:

I went back to the custom filter and i noticed .cbz files were there (i don't know if this option was already there in older versions) and unticked it, but i was still getting the black screen
H__Pictures_Screenshots_ - XnView MP 10_5_2024 12_04_34 PM.png

This is the restored INI file for version 1.8.0.0:
xnview.zip
So the new title for the thread would be, "CBZ files trying to be opened and no option to stop" *facepalm*
I don't really need to see those files while in fullscreen, if you would let me browse/view/read INSIDE them while in full screen would be nice though. I would finally retire the aging CDisplay.

The cbz that was shown as a black screen had png images inside, the one that it could see were jpg.
Could not see:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/b2tynpyx ... 9.cbz/file
Could see:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/uofq06td ... D.cbz/file

btw, to create a cbz file you just have to rename the .zip extension to .cbz
