Overview

This feature will add some extra functionality to the internal Blu-ray Player.

Description of Change

Included in this rework:

• Resume option added (Title Mode only!)
• Remuxed (movie only) Blu-ray Discs bypass the popup (Menu/Title selection) on resume
• Added Post Processing settings
• Added Aspect Ratio settings

Resume option (works in Title Mode only!)

When you resume playback of a Blu-ray Disc in MyVideos, you'll be presented with a popup:

Select Play video from beginning to start playback from the beginning in Title Mode (No Blu-ray Menus available)

Select Resume playback from ... to resume playback in Title Mode (No Blu-ray Menus available)

Close the Popup with the X and a you'll be presented with the Menu/Title selection popup

Remuxed (movie only) Blu-ray Discs bypass the Menu/Title selection on resume

When you close the above popup with the X on a remuxed Blu-ray Disc, you won't be presented with the Menu/Title selection popup, since the Blu-ray disc doesn't contain Menus, so hitting X puts you back on the movie list.

Added Post Processing settings

Here you can optionally select some filters to enhance playback quality.

See Postprocessing Guide for an example how to use these settings.

Added Video Zoom (aspect ratio) settings

This section allows you to select which video zoom modes, or aspect ratio, you wish to use when watching videos or TV in MediaPortal.

The zoom modes are selected by pressing on your keyboard or you can assign a button on your remote to change aspect ratio if it does not have one already.

Allowed zoom modes

• Normal - Default: on
• Original - Default: on
• Zoom - Default: on
• Zoom 14:9 - Default: on
• Stretch - Default: on
• Non-linear Stretch - Default: on
• Letterbox 4:3 - Default: on

Default mode

This allows you to specify which zoom mode will be used when opening media. Below is a list of the different possibilities

• Normal (default)
• Original
• Zoom
• Zoom 14:9
• Stretch
• Non-linear Stretch
• Letterbox 4:3

Additional Information and References

For the resume option to work with BDReader, BDHandler and/or LAVSplitter, a new function (Blu-ray title integer) was added:

g_Player.SetResumeBDTitleState

This value can be set or get.

constant integers used for Blu-ray Title:

/// <param name="default Blu-ray remuxed">BdRemuxTitle</param> 
public const int BdRemuxTitle = 900; 

/// <param name="default Blu-ray Title">BdDefaultTitle</param>
public const int BdDefaultTitle = 1000; 

To bypass the BDReader / BDHandler Menu/Title Selection screen, you can use the forcePlay bool (with value 'true'):

Play(string strFile, g_Player.MediaType type, int title, bool forcePlay)

Example:

g_Player.Play(d:\matrix\index.bdmv, video, 33, true);

Limitations:

• Resume on Full Blu-ray Discs will only work if you use the same splitter (BDReader / LAVSplitter) which was used to watch the Disc with the first time.
• Only works in Title Mode
