BZR Player

BZR Player is an audio player for Windows with the primary goal being able to play a lot of different file formats. It is developed in C++ and QT. The sound engine is based on FMOD. The first version was released 12-Apr-2008. The last 1.x version was released 2019-Apr-08. This is the beginning of the new 2.x version which is coded pretty much from scratch.

SUPPORTED PACKERS

None right now

bzrplayer's Issues

Mute-setting resets when playing a new file

Crash when launched with zero-byte playlists/Default.m3u (playlist file without any content)

7-zip support

Mute isn't saved in settings

Restore layout action should completely Restore the default layout, not only reopen closed panels

full *.m3u support

*.m3u files (created with vlc) loads when dragged in (correctly displaying its tracks) but tracks don't plays

Popup menu should be in left corner

Right now you have to right click the the "dead" area to get the menu. It should always be visible in the top left corner.

Add popup menu "Show containing folder" for files in playlist

sid files always report only 1 subsong

sample loop not triggered (drums) in Prorunner 2.0 (libxmp)

pru2.zip

Some sound formats doesn't have any sound length

wrong bpm for LDS files

in bzr1 *.lds files start playing with wrong bpm (slower) then player automatically corrects it to the right one in about a second. in bzr2 instead, bpm remains too slow

Lds files.zip

Add systray icon minimization

Useful requirement for a software potentially used in background for many hours a day is a preference for minimizing bzr2 to systray icon instead of quit when main window is closed

Adplug plays too slow at start

Add STOP button

Increase mouse scroll sensivity for volume slider

2/3 scroll actions shoud be sufficient for go from 0 to 100 (or viceversa)

Reverb is always enabled on start

Last line in top graphics in tracker view is missing

[2.0.10 Alpha] clicking play with empty playlist then clicking 'cancel' on adding files dialog makes bzr2 crashes

add search bar

for searching files through multiple playlists (result should be displayed like "playlistName/matchedTrack") based on title and filename

Display sid subsongs in playlist

press play with empty playlist should directly open dialog for adding files

Crash when launched without playlists/Default.m3u (manually deleted)

Silently skips a corrupted playlists/Default.m3u

i suppose user should be informed when bzr skips an incorrect playlist file

m3u8 support

*.m3u8 files (created with vlc) are not supported:
when they are dragged in, tracks are not recognized but "?" is displayed instead (and subsong counter goes crazy)

vumeters are off

In the trackwer view, VU-meters are off vertically

Make a better layout for channels window

So that it fits better in a small area

add convenient actions

very convenient actions (some of them are used in vlc also, maybe with some differences):

• esc for unselecting any window/component (switching to global)
• spacebar for play/pause action (without need to manually select gui component first) (global) (currently F5 is used, this should be unbinded then)
• enter for play (or re-play) action (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• backspace for backward to the beginning (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• up/down for selection (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• home/end for selection (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• left/right for playback seeking (10s) (ctrl: 60s) (shift: 3s) (alt: 1s) (ctrl+alt: 300s) (global)
• mouse_wheel for playback seeking (when mouse hover on slider) (10s) (ctrl: 60s) (shift: 3s) (alt: 1s) (ctrl+alt: 300s) (global)
• pitch (when mouse hover on slider) (10%) (ctrl: 20%) (shift: 5%) (alt: 1%) (ctrl+alt: 50%) (global)
• double right click on pitch for reset to 100%
• volume (when mouse hover on slider) (10%) (ctrl: 20%) (shift: 10%) (alt: 5%) (ctrl+alt: 25%) (global)
• 'del' for remove selected (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• 'm' for audio mute (global)
• p/n for prev(next track) (global)
• ctrl+left click for selecting individual tracks (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• shift+left click for selecting bunch of tracks (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• ctrl+a for selecting all (on tracklist or playlist only) (tracklist/playlist specific)
• ctrl+mouse_wheel to zoom in & out text (on tracklist or playlist only) (needed for modern high resolutions) (tracklist/playlist specific) (better if could act on every bzr2 component depending on where the mouse cursor is placed, not only on tracklist and playlist)

'global' is when no other component is selected (clicked)

in order to make keyboard actions (like spacebar) works without conflicts i think that current tab action (for selecting gui components) should be disabled, or the users should know which window/component is currently selected

Optimize tracker view

It's very slow at many channels, it shouldn't be since there are javascript players that have no problems at all.

deletion & creation of default playlist

"right button -> delete" action on "Default" playlist should delete the default playlist, then when adding a new file should automatically creates a new "Default" playlist

zip support

bzr2 starts displaying '1/2' subsong but playlist is empty

antivirus is triggered *everytime* i launch bzr2

this has never happened to me with other applications, only with real viruses.
I think it is caused by AVAST CyberCapture component.
Virus Total reports:

Fix normalizer

free placement of components

means detaching a gui component, moving it around then, if it comes close to the space between two other components, propose an insertion, then release the component when the insertion is proposed, and it will be placed between the other two components (dinamically resizing them for creating adeguate space): the height or width of placed componened will be inerithed from the other two.

More briefly: add possibility to insert a gui component everywhere, automatically resizing other components for making enought room

Last selected playlist should be selected at startup

add midi support

reverb is not working: no output difference with reverb enabled (since first reverb impl)

Reverb

add right button action in track component) for clear playlist (remove all tracks)

Loop type button (none, all, one) is a little bit indistinguishable at higer resolutions. maybe use a BOLT design

5 and 6-channel xm has bad layout in tracker view

Filter/find in playlist

visualizer ID3 tag support

Choppy start with UADE songs

Missing channel numbers in Fasttracker tracker view

Crashes if last file in a playlist is unplayable

add/load track" when pressed on empty space

add right button menu on tracks in order to manage them ("delete from playlist / remove selected" action, first of all)

Files with uf8-filenames doesn't load
