Since the last post (see “Media Player update”) I’ve added a tree-component which shows all the videos in the folder ‘media’. Also on the in the last topic about the mediaplayer i got two people who gave me some tips to improve my player.
The button to go full screen is now on the left of the mute button. And as extra feature you also can make the media player go full screen by double clicking the video itself.
I made the control-bar a bit bigger so when you hover it in full screen the control-bar doesn’t suddenly disappear when placing the mouse at the bottom of the screen.
Click here to watch the media-player.
Well I’m done with the media player for now. All there’s left to do is the skinning part, but were still busy with the design. I will now continue with other parts of the application, more information about this will be here next week. So be sure to check this blog out!!
Hey Dave,
Nice Improvements you made.
I still have 2 minor tweaks, but they aren’t of real importance:
1. When in fullscreen, the button for returning is still labeled FullScreen. I find ‘Leave FullScreen’ to be more fit.
2. The values on the VolumeSlider go from 0 to 1. I think 0%-100% is more obvious also (include the % in the label!)
But once again, they are not going to make or break your app: great job!

When the skinning is done, the button won’t contain text anymore but a graphic instead. That’s why i didn’t add that.
On the volume you got a good point in my opinion. Now i STILL gotta work on it !!
Another minor issue.. ViewSource is enabled, but the source isn’t uploaded, which means I can’t steal your nifty code
