iPhone 6 resolutions vs. Mac/PC Player app.

FlimFlamboyant · September 2014

The new 4.7" version of the iPhone 6 brings a brand-spanking new 1334x750 resolution to the table. Unfortunately, the Gideros Player app (for Mac, at least) has no option for this resolution. Of course, in an ideal world, I'd like to be able to manually enter any resolution I want.

With Gideros in its new open source state, I figured I'd take a crack at changing this myself (once I figure out how to compile all of this), but I also figured I should make a mention of it here.

- i'm interested in having a full-screen gideros player, if you get to know how to do that, let me know (i need it for win btw).

Hi, I have changed the player background color to a darker color (My eyes thank, when i develop at dawn lol), and changed the info (IP) color to white.

Its easy to add a new resolution:

In the mainwindow.ui, player folder:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/player/mainwindow.ui

Add a new addaction and action:

<addaction name="action750x1334"/>
 
<action name="action750x1334">
 <property name="checkable">
  <bool>true</bool>
 </property>
 <property name="text">
  <string>750x1334 (iPhone 6)</string>
 </property>
</action>

---

In the mainwindow.cpp:
https://github.com/gideros/gideros/blob/master/player/mainwindow.cpp

Constructor, these snippets:

connect(ui.action750x1334, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(actionResolution()));
 
resolutionGroup_->addAction(ui.action750x1334);
 
case 750:
 ui.action750x1334->setChecked(true);
 break;

In closeEvent:

else if (resolutionGroup_->checkedAction() == ui.action750x1334)
 settings.setValue("resolution", 750);

In hardwareWidth:

else if (resolutionGroup_->checkedAction() == ui.action750x1334)
 return 750;

And in the hardwareHeight:

else if (resolutionGroup_->checkedAction() == ui.action750x1334)
 return 1334;

Sorry if I missed, or if something is wrong.

@marcelojunior elegant style!

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

@marcelojunior thanks added tutorial to wiki

http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Add_New_Resolution_To_Gideros_Player

keszegh · September 2014

it's good that you collect these, @ar2rsawseen.

where can we reach these from the main wiki page? (from here:
http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Main_Page )

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

I'm no good with Wiki, do not know formatting yet, etc
But my guess would be, you could get to there by using search

keszegh · September 2014

so this wiki is a collection of secret pages, quite practical: )

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

@keszegh

You can register there and make it all even more practical if you want

FlimFlamboyant · September 2014

Thanks, marcelojunior, I'll do that! I did finally get everything to compile without incident (though Gideros Studio doesn't want to stay open yet), but the Player is good to go.

marcelojunior · September 2014

Thanks for the feedback dudes! (and sorry for my english, i'm from Brazil).

@ar2rsawseen
Can we register in the wiki to write/update the documentation?

I'm trying but returns permission error.

marcelojunior · September 2014

Hello everyone, I did a test and added a fullscreen menu in the player.

The soundtrack has a special touch :P (Jake Hamilton)
Sorry to those who do not like.

keszegh · September 2014

@marcelojunior,
that's amazing, can you share the exe?
also, would it be possible to make a real full-screen version, one without the top menu? (say esc or even better alt-enter could switch back to non-fullscreen or fullscreen+menu view)

marcelojunior · September 2014

Hello @keszegh,

There's the link with 2 files, to use the black player \m/:

GiderosPlayer.exe
gideros.dll

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8mnhWOnho8nUHhTUVJUOWxzSVk

It's strange because, my gideros.dll has 53kb, and the gideros.dll that come with installation has 133kb, lol.

Please, rename the original gideros.dll and giderosplayer.exe to won't lose anything.

I've tested so much the player with the gideros studio, if you have any trouble, post here to us.

There are 2 shortcuts:

Fullscreen: Alt+Return
Hide Menu: Alt+M

I was wondering if we could get some small features, take a branch of Gideros Github and work on it to evolve the application.

What do you think?

Perhaps a form, collaborative spreadsheet or the github itself to raise the requirements.

keszegh · September 2014

@marcelojunior , that's f*ing awesome, thanks. this made my day, how much i've waited for this, at last i see the first advantages of the open-source-ness.
so that my friends can use this feature too, could you compile such a mac player too? (not urgent whatsoever)

marcelojunior · September 2014

@keszegh

Yah, i'm happy to help.

Well, i dont have a mac

but in my workplace there are. I do not know much of mac, but I will search how to build the player on it.

It may take a while (days, weeks), okay? 8-|

=;

keszegh · September 2014

take your time (better late than never), this is already a major step. thanks again.

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

@marcelojunior
Here's the link for info to build on Mac:
http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Build_Gideros_On_Mac

And feel free to make fork on github and make a pull request later, I will merge it after reviewing

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

@marcelojunior now you and everyone else can also request an account to the wiki
and I'll review and approve it

http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Special:RequestAccount

marcelojunior · September 2014

@ar2rsawseen

Thanks.

I have requested an account in the wiki.

\o/

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

@marcelojunior confirmed

marcelojunior · September 2014

Haha thanks bro!

I'll create a page to put the things that I learned about the Gideros source code.

keszegh · September 2014

@ar2rsawseen, @marcelojunior,
good work

SinisterSoft · September 2014

Autoscale would be nice - so it scales based on the size of the window/full screen.

keszegh · September 2014

what/is there an event that is automatically triggered when i change the resolution in the player?

marcelojunior · September 2014

Hmm nice @SinisterSoft

i will try this.

marcelojunior · September 2014

Hi all.

A little test with Auto Scale on player:

unlying · September 2014

@marcelo Looks great!

ar2rsawseen · September 2014

:-O
That looks awesome

keszegh · September 2014

that's great. and what should be set up in the app so that it notices the resizing?
