I am still waiting for gstreamer 1.x that should fix that issue and guess what gstreamer has also an ffmpeg plugin so it can utilize ffmpeg aswell.
Though support for different protocols and codecs needs to be compiled in.
I've seen ffmpeg showing up on the Warehouse, maybe you could try it out to see if you could add it to LLS vPlayer.

As stated before ffmpeg binary isn't enough.
It needs hardware acceleration support.
It needs a qt5 binding otherwise it will be useless to me.

And no I don't intend to write this all by myself. (too much time waster and to high risk that the next update might break everything)

Update: 0.9-3 is out now.

The only change is the switch to Youtube API v3 to retrieve titles of youtube videos. API v2 is no longer working (Youtube turned it off basically)

Get the RPM here

Can you make right swiping when watching a video not ending it? I often try to remove lint, dust etc when watching a video and having it shut down when i swipe right is a pain in the behind.
And adding skip forward/backward buttons with 10 seconds or personal time skipping would be great.
Thanks for a great video player.

Sadly this is not possible with its current implementation and has a reason.
In its earlier incarnation I had the videoplayer page set up as the mainpage so a right swipe would not kill the audio/video playing.
But that introduced new problems. Due to the extremely poor gstreamer version on SailfishOS currently it every now and then crashes and freezes the player completely. Especially on URL/File Open changes.
And of course it also costs memory.
Therefore I created a new main page and load the videoplayer page on demand. This most of the times works better (crashes due to gstreamer are down by 80%) and uses lesser memory.

And adding skip forward/backward buttons with 10 seconds or personal time skipping would be great.
I don't see much space for this to be implemented.

Thanks for a great video player.
Thanks for your feedback.

Big update as it introduces youtube-dl integration in the OpenUrl page.
So now LLs Video Player supports all of these streaming sites: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html

However not all are supported by gstreamer on SailfishOS (e.g. Apple Trailers site and some movs seem not to work). Be aware of geo location blocks aswell.
Everything that is playable should be downloadable aswell.

I also fixed a small but annoying bug when searching on youtube and clicking a search result would tend to ignore the WebView.ignoreRequest and load the corrupt video page anyways.
This resulted in the annoyance that when you swipe back after watching the youtube video you would land on a broken site.
It should now go back to the last known url.
Though as youtubes mobile site nowadays does cache very much in javascript instead of relying on the browser it might not always be the site with the fully populated search results.
(Most noticable on channel sites were swiping back brings you back to the channels main site)

Update: Version 0.9-5 is there.

Several bugfixes regarding video player page and remote urls landed.
I hope to address freezes that occur when playing back several remote videos in one instance which keeped gstreamer to behave strangely and hang very long.
Forcing to stop the video and destroying the videooutput on deactivation of the video player page seem to solve this issues.

I also fixed broken edge swipes for newer SailfishOS versions and added TOHKBD support by adding 3 handy shortcuts for playing and pause aswell as seeking.

Changes:
  • Fixed Broken Edge Swipes in Landscape since Äijänpäivänjärvi
  • Fixed remote video playing not loading successfully after a couple of
    remote videos played back
  • Stop MediaPlayer on videoPlayer deactivating
  • Explicetely Destroy video on videoPlayer deactivating
  • Added keyboard shortcuts for TOHKBD users
    • Space Play/Pause
    • Left/Right Arrow jump -5/+5 secs

Thanks for the update!

I was wondering if you can add some support for dreambox streams. I have an Android app (dreamdroid) which I can pick "stream", but it ends up downloading the stream with the default sailfish browser

I don't know dreambox streams.
Did you try copying the stream url and try loading it in LLs Video Player?

Thanks for the new version!

I have one feature request/suggestion:
Since it already utilizes youtube-dl, could you add support for some of its functions, such as choosing the quality, and more importantly, could you add an option to cache (download) the video instead of playing it?
Maybe an ability to copy the video URL would do, but it would be a nice addition to be able to cache the video for later.

Thanks.
