Continuous playback mode to play successive small video fragments slices without silence interruption

Open drimisone opened this issue 11 months ago • 4 comments

There is media player which has feature named : continuous playback mode: this function eradicates the silence between each playback of several short files, those will be preloaded and played as a single file.

This function is useful because many download can download embedded streaming hls videos but in a non-sequential way i.e. we do not obtain a single temporary video file while donwloading but there are many small fragments videos slices .ts in the download folder,

so we hope Qmplay2 add option : continuous playback mode to remove the interruptions and silence between the playback of the small successive videos .ts for a smooth playback and to be able to playback temporary hls video while downloading i mean play successive small video fragments slices without silence interruptions, thank's.

It "works" when you have same audio and video parameters between files and you have enough playback audio buffer to allow HDD/SSD to read data (or your system already cached them temporarily in RAM).

Interesting, thanks.

the worrying thing, yes I managed to playback the small fragments video slices .ts without interruption or silence with other media player, but sometimes there are artifacts on the video...it says if the continuous playback mode causes a problem, we should enable internal filters...it seems a bit complicated, or maybe I have problems with drivers...

And to test and obtain short and successive .ts video files, we have to use download managers that detect videos and download them in a fragmented way with lots of small video slice fragments.....

for example neat download manger and file centipiede can do that, both download managers are free....

and of course we have to pause the download to test the continuous playback mode on the downloaded slices small video fragments...

Update about artifacts problem on the video when we playback short files consecutively :

I am doing tests in other media players like mpv, kmplayer, smplayer, vlc, potplayer....

if in the video/audio codecs section of the media players, we choose the option: default system decoder,

there are no more artifacts, glitch when we choose the option = continuous playback seamless playback preload and combine files....
