Video player with audio switching (GTVBox/ViMu Player)

[mcd2000]

One issue I have, not a big one, is getting it to play one MP3 or file after the previous one?? This would be a great addition to the program for me. I like to use it to listend to music too.. also maybe keep music going in the background while you are on the web or something on the
google box

Select the first file in a directory, longclick it. You will a see a menu. Select "play this and next files".
The player is mostly intended for the video playback for now, so background playback is not supported.

Hey Im new to all this so please forgive me if I sound super retarded to all you tech geniuses. But I just downloaded the GTVbox video player, I have the the Sony Google TV 46", and I have no idea how to set it up. As in i have all the movie files on my PC and I dont even understand the terms you guys were using in the app to get it to stream my media from my PC(Windows 7) to my TV. Im excited bout using this app, but I need a lot of help getting it started. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your patience guys.

Yes. You can select any file in the directory and it will play it and the following files. You can even sort files before and play for ex. from the newest to the oldest file.
The latest version now is 0.15. You can get it in Dropbox.

I'll be getting the 32" Sony Google tv soon, and I'm really excited about trying this out. I wondered would it be possible to add playback from rar files, like XBMC or Kantaris http://kantaris.org/ do? Would be a great way to get around that pesky 4gb file limit. Also I was wondering, if there was a way to shuffle playback or queue files?

This seems like a great player and as soon as my tv arrives I can't wait to make it the first thing I install.

I bought the version from Android Market and I have few questions and suggestions

1) Headers are shown on the top and I do not see any option to move them to the left. Is there a way to bring it to left as shown in the Market screen shots?
2) Please enable the embedded subtitles from MKV files.
3) Can you provide an option to select subtitles if multiple language files are placed in the directory?
4) Is it possible to implement the thumbnail view of files and folders?
5) Please provide the ability to resume video playback

Other than that, I am playing files from SMB server and I really like the way it is implemented.

Great you are here. This stupid Android Market don't allow developer to respond to reviews.
1) This is the difference between my Beta firmware and your release. Google changed actionbar look. I didn't expect it to happen that way. In the next version tabs will be at the left side with icons on all firmwares. More like TV&Movies app. (By the way, can you post some screenshot?)
2) It is the main thing I am working on now (not very easy, as it requires parsing MKV in Java which is not very efficient).
3) I don't know any standard naming for this. I mean how to name subtitle files to be recognized? Maybe it is better to support online subtitles from opensubtitles.org..
4) Basicly, yes. Please, scroll some posts up for explanation.
5) I am working on this since your post in the Market.

Realtime unpackage of RAR will require huge processor resources. At the same time you can not save much space by packaging a video file to rar.
Shuffle playback is not very hard to implement, but is it really important for video files?
