About NiftyPlayer:
Small media player, with support for video overlay (even for DivX), full screen mode.

NiftyPlayer (aka nplay) is a simple media player drived from Be's mplay sample code. I was in search for a media player that could play DivX movies on my low-end hardware (K6-II 350), and either MediaPlayer was just stucked and didn't support RGB32 overlay (the only one the DivX decoder handles), either VideoPro was running half speed. So here it is. Features:
  • Supports every movie/sound type the media kit handles (including MPEG, DivX ;-), OpenDivX, MP3...)
  • Full screen mode (with screensaver desactivation, thanks to stampTV source)
  • Seeking DivX works (but takes time since since it has to read from the beginning)
  • Switch between the 3 drawing mode (DrawBitmap, DirectWindow, and hardware overlay) on the fly

Latest Version
   
Details about this version:
(phantom release)
  • FIXED a nasty bug that prevented magic overlay to work
  • magic overlay now tries to convert first from RGB32 to RGB16 which is takes less CPU
  • keyboard control with volume control and CL-Amp style shortcuts
  • drag-n-drop in the player window (reusing it; dropping more than one file opens the others in other windows)
Long live BeOS !
