bsplay Files

Beigesoft™ bsplay is FFMPEG/GTK2 based multimedia player.

Why BSPLAY?
FFMPEG plus ALSA, Xorg (standard graphic and video libs) are enough for playing any audio/video file and Internet stream.
ffmpeg's ffplay can play any media,
but it's really needed to manage audio play lists.
Also, GUI is mandatory for further mobile/tablet version of LFSC or for any other mobile Linux.
BSPLAY's GUI is designed for using in mobile view.

It requires FFMPEG compiled source code, e.g. file fftools/cmdutils.o!

------------------------------------------
To build it:
0) if you have ffmpeg from main vendor (e.g. it's form Debian package, i.e. it's in /usr/lib folder), then uninstall it (e.g. apt-get uninstall ffmpeg)
1) get ffmpeg-4.2.2 source code: http://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-4.2.2.tar.xz.asc
2) unpack it, build and install: (destination prefix should be /usr/local for any cases):
 ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-gpl
 # for subtitles and free mpeg encoder use --enable-libx264 --enable-libass, install libs for this, e.g. from main vendor packages: apt-get install libx264-dev libass-dev, otherwise see Beigesoft Linux From Source Code to install the libs from source code
 # these flags are essential!: --enable-shared --disable-static
 make
 #as root:
 make install
 ldconfig
3) after that unpack bsplay into ffmpeg source root folder (e.g. ffmpeg-4.2.2) and make:
 make --file=Makefile.bsplay
 make --file=Makefile.bsplay install-strip

------------------------------------------
features:
* Adding set of files (including m3u lists) into play-list
* Moving items inside play-list
* Saving play-list into a m3u file
* Loop all playing
* Random playing
* Subtitles file must has the same base name as video one to be opened automatically
* Go to position HH:MM:SS (seek), it's useful to continue watching a video
* It prevents screen-locking during playing or pause!
* To play Internet stream, you need to add in a m3u list direct HTTP address (not m3u8)
* During video playing, ffplay's hot-key interface is available (e.g. space - pause, right seek...)
