iPad 2 Video Mirroring is something different with the TV-out feature. You can still try TV-out for some apps even with iPad 2 HDMI connection.

Netflix does fill the whole hdtv screen but not youtube 360/720 videos and other movie files.
anyone know how I can expand it to full screen? or do I have to get videos that in 1080?

you can still access the 'Apps' tab through iTunes, click Goodplayer and upload files onto the device, can't you?

then again, yeah, i suppose it's more comfortable to use any lightweight FTP client than having to use iTunes. Also, you won't have to pair the device with every PC you want to exchange files with.

Yes, for iOS 5, you can still access the 'Apps' tab through iTunes, click Goodplayer and upload files onto the device.
As for the FTP support, the GoodPlayer supports FTP from 2.3 version.(The 2.4 version is the latest). FTP client is great for multiple files/folders uploading. HTTP is good for one file uploading, we are using HTTP for testing file uploading a lot during development.

BTW.. The App Store is not allowing "reviews" to be posted

I was wanting to post 5 stars for this app!

BUG REPORT:
When playing video, press the SLEEP/POWER Button and the screen goes blank; but GoodPlayer is still playing.

peelers · Jul 9, 2011, 10:23 AM

Does anyone know if there a program / app that can mute certain audio channel? Goodplayer can mute left/right channel but i found a few videos that was rip from a dvd and it does not mute any of the channels. Dvd usually have 5.1 or more but I want to just play LR or RF or center etc.. I know i can probably demux it and delete channels and re-encode the whole thing but that would take forever. If Goodplayer has more channel on the list beside left, right, stereo, reverse stereo that would be super awesome hint hint hint

either way Im looking for ways to do it without re-encode if that even possible.

thanks

hustmobile · Jul 9, 2011, 10:29 AM

I do not know why to choose some channels in 5.1.
5.1 channels will be mixed to 2 channels in GoodPlayer.
For mute left/right channel , there are some files that have such needs: such as left channel is English, at the same time right channel is Chinese. So mute one channel is a must.
But why mute channels in 5.1 channel?

But why mute channels in 5.1 channel?

There a large Asian karaoke that are on dvd, and when rip into avi and format to be play in Goodplayer, the left and right mute does not work. Also there are many American dvds that has commentator (voice) on the center channel (as i was told on web, not sure if true or not).

I did it in the pass by ripping to avi, separate the audio/voice, delete 1 of the stereo track, put the voice on 1 left channel, music on right channel then re-encode the whole thing into another avi and it work that way. Im trying to find a faster easier route if there is one that I dont have to re-encode etc..

I don't expect Goodplayer to have it, but wishful thinking and just to throw it out there to see if anyone else know a better way.

What's New in GoodPlayer Version 2.5
1. Built-in downloader and built-in browser added. Built-in downloader

Built-in browser also make it easy to play some kinds of streaming URL

2. The goodplayer:// URL scheme supports local media library file
playback. GoodPlayer local media library files can be accessed as
following URL samples:
Sample 1: goodplayer://filename1.avi
Sample 2 (with folder): goodplayer://foldername/filename2.mkv
3. Audio boost feature added: support volume beyond 100%. Boost the
media file audio volume from 100% to 400%. It is useful for those
media files with very low volume natively.
4. Folder password protection bugs fixed
5. Built-in downloader supports the following file extensions:
3gp,aac,ac3,ape,asf,avi,cue,dat,divx,dv,f4v,flac,flv,gxf,m1v,m2p,m2t,m2ts,
m2v,m3u,m4v,m4r,m4a,mkv,moov,mov,mp1,mp2,mp3,mp4,mpa,mpe,mpeg,mpeg1,

Hotfile... sites are tested. Please note that sometimes the URL can be
played back streamingly when the URL is HTTP, FTP and other supported
streaming protocols. So you can try play the URL directly. And HTTPS
URL such as file from Dropbox could not be played back online, so the
HTTPS files could only be downloaded and played back locally.

Dropbox integration is finally added in the 2.5 version. Please give your feedback

By the way, the SMB streaming/client will be in the coming 2.6 version

Unable to download from depositfiles,filesonic.com from the download manager/browser in the latest version.

I have no problem downloading using the 'downloads hd' app.

I think depositfiles.com site opens the download in a new popup window/tab. If that popup is blocked, the download fails. JUST A THEORY....

hustmobile · Jul 13, 2011, 11:20 AM

Thanks for the feedback.
The downloader feature is not a simple task. Please allow us improve it little by little. We will try these file sharing sites one by one

bnocabral · Jul 13, 2011, 07:41 PM

Hello,

I purchased the software today, first congratulations for the excellent product!

I have two questions:

- How do I hide the progress bar at the top screen during a video?
- How do I know which version of my GoodPlayer?

Thank you very much for the help!

The same here, purchased today, but cannot hide the bar.

Also, the app seems to crash an return to the home screen if I quit video playback, change some settings, and then return to playback.

Thanks.

Tap the screen once and the progress bar disappears. Tap it again and it reappears.

To see the version number go to setting and select the the arrow on the upper right corner. Select the Email Feedback option. When the email page opens the version number will be in the subject line.

Both progress bar and fullscreen feature work fine in version 2.5 on my iPad.

hustmobile · Jul 14, 2011, 12:23 AM

Thanks. Our iPad 1 and iPad 2 are okay too.
The iPhone 4, first without the "seek bar not disappear" issue, after lots of testing, the "seek bar not disappear" issue shows up on our iPhone 4. We are still checking it.

hustmobile · Jul 14, 2011, 03:11 AM

Now we knew what happens to the seek bar issue.
Urgent GoodPlayer news: for English iPhone and iPod Touch users, do not upgrade to 2.5 version. English iPhone and iPod Touch users will have a "seek bar not disappear" issue on GoodPlayer 2.5 version. Please wait for the 2.6 version. The 2.6 version was submitted to App Store.
For all iPad users, the upgrade to 2.5 is safe; for other language iPhone/iPod Touch users such as Chinese, Czech, French, German, Italian, Persian, Polish, Slovak, the upgrade to 2.5 is safe.
Sorry for the inconvenience. And Thanks for the waiting.

A quick question about the upcoming SMB support. Would a download be able to happen as a background task i.e. I could navigate to my NAS, start downloading a movie and then go check my emails or another application while the movie is still downloading?

hustmobile · Jul 14, 2011, 06:24 AM

It seems the background downloading only lasts for a few seconds. We are still checking how long the background downloading lasts.
So if you operate fast enough, the downloading is still there, or else you can still resume the unfinished downloads.
