About / What is QuickPlayer
---------------------------

  Thanks for using QuickPlayer.
  QuickPlayer is an GUI (Graphical User Interface) for
  Firelight Technologie's (http://www.fmod.org) fmod.dll.
  This means, QuickPlayer manages the playlist, menus,
  options, ... (What you actually see) and uses fmod.dll
  to play back (...) sounds/music (What you hear) (load/
  play/pause/volume/time/seek/...).
  
  QuickPlayer gives you some of the best features a
  player could have. Some of these features I found in
  other players, e.g. Winamp 2 or Apollo (Win)

  As long there are bugs or requests, QuickPlayer is
  under development. The latest official version can be
  found at http://www.ctuser.net. For suggestions,
  questions, requests or bug reports, send eMail to
  info@ctuser.net.
  
  So I optimized code (sharing, groups, ...), size grew
  with each new feature. QuickPlayer has now approximate
  900kb / compressed 225kb.
  The source code & resources take about 685kb
  (14800 lines / 208kb pure code)

  This document will give you additional information of
  QuickPlayers features. It will not contain any infor-
  mation about basic features that any player offers.

!Version history
----------------

  Due to file size the version history is now found in
  then file 'History.txt'
  This section will be removed soon

!Behaviours, Bugs, Errors, Problems
-----------------------------------

  Spectrum analyzer: The spectrum analyzer does not show
  the full spectrum, just a small spectrum. (It's a cool
  visualization). I tried full and some larger settings,
  but it was boring to look at.

  Known problems:
   - MP3/OGG tag reading may not work properly on some
     files (I have no detail information about, I just
     viewed these files with a hexeditor (RAR) and tried
     to 'guess')
     It will work on some non-standart id3v2 tags (e.g.
     tags containing jpeg images... I found one,
     according to file contents it was encoded with Real
     Jukebox)
   - During usage of menus (and similar events),
     QuickPlayer may not handle different events
     (e.g. Fade in/out will pause until menu usage has
     finished).
     Also, QuickPlayer will not react on menu clicks when
     crossfading, refreshing, ...
   - Skipping tracks will use previous/next playlist
     entry, not last played tracks. On random mode, both
     Previous/Next will play a random playlist item.
   - When using "Minimize to tray" and not "Always show
     trayicon" with "Show player", clicking on the
     trayicon will show QuickPlayer, but the next icon
     will still get your click-event, too
   - QuickPlayer may accept commands (keyboard/clicks) so
     it should NOT react on (e.g. during fading, refresh)
     If you find anything like that, please eMail me
     (info@ctuser.net)
   - QuickPlayer may crash on some Trackers or faulty
     MP3s (should be a fmod problem)
   - When crossfading to streams (wav/mp3/wma...) from
     the same CD, sound might 'stutter'
   - When using Ctrl+[key], and releasing Ctrl before
     [key], QuickPlayer may react on [key]
     (eg: Ctrl+C  ->  Clear playlist
               C  ->  Pause)
   - For Audio CD related problems, see "Audio CDs"
     section
   - QuickPlayer may skip songs after playback starts.
     This problem occurs on some computers / OS ??? only,
     Should now be fixed, but not yet tested.
   - When QuickPlayer does not get enough resources, it
     sometimes aborts (ends) the current song and goes to
     the next one (well, not really a problem, is it?)
   - No crossfading when both current and next item are
     audio CD tracks, wether on the same device (drive
     letter) or not.
   - No crossfading whem both current and next item are
     Midi files


  Other (un)known behaviours:
   - When starting the program "Handle" from SysInternals
     (www.sysinternals.com), the current played songs
     restarts from the beginning, but process indicator
     is still the old. The song will be aborted according
     to process indicator.

  As QuickPlayer uses an external dll-file (fmod.dll),
  any problem/error could be:
   - QuickPlayer error/bug
   - fmod.dll error/bug
   - other software error/bug (e.g. Operating system)
   - multimedia device problem (e.g. no device, device not
     installed (properly), device in use by other appli-
     cation; incompatibility; directx problem)
   - media error (invalid/damaged file)

  What you should do:
  Of course I'm testing my software and find most errors
  myself. Additionally, a good friend of mine tests any
  version (alpha, pre-beta, beta, ...).
  If you find an error anyway (that's why it's a beta),
  here's what you should check first:
 
  FIRST of all, please check if you have both the latest
  versions of QuickPlayer (http://www.ctuser.net) and
  fmod.dll (http://www.fmod.org; included in FMod Player)
  You need at least fmod 3.60 or higher ! (3.71 or higher
  recommend; QuickPlayer will crash on older versions)
  Versions newer than 3.71 have not been tested, Version
  3.70 crashes sometimes.

  If it's an error that occurs on some media files only:
   - Test other players; if an error occurs:
     other software error/bug, multimedia device problem,
     wrong / damaged [/] Microsoft operation system
   - Test same media file with other players: if the
     error occurs: media error
   - Test same media file with fmod player
     (http://www.fmod.org). If the error occurs:
     fmod error/bug (...). Check their homepage
   - Test it with QuickPlayer:
     If the error occurs with QuickPlayer only (oops),
     send me an eMail (See "Otherwise, ..." below)

  Otherwise, try to find out what you did that caused the
     error (bug) and the easiest way to reproduce this
     error and eMail your report (info@ctuser.net).
     Please also check if the error depends on one or
     more settings (repeat mode, fading, ...)

!Stop / Next Song / End song / Play next - Differences
------------------------------------------------------

  Stop:      Stops current song. Does not jump to next
             item. (When "Play next" is set, QuickPlayer
             will not stop but remove your "Play next"
             command.)
  Next song: Stops current song and play next item
             "Remove played song", "stop each song" and
             "MD Record Mode" options are NOT be processed
  End song:  Stops current song (simulates the song ended)
             and plays next item
             "Remove played song", "stop each song" and
             "MD Record Mode" options are processed
  Play next: Selected playlist item will be played after
             the current item. To skip a "Play next"
             command, press "Stop" once (does not stop
             current song)

!Volume
-------

  So the volume slider shows a large green, a yellow
  and a read area, QuickPlayer output level is never
  'overloaded', not even at maximum. However, when your
  soundcard's volumes are at maximum, most soundcard will
  increase that volume, and so it is overloaded. In that
  case, you should slightly reduce volumes of your
  soundcard.

!Drag'n'Drop
------------

  Adds files/directories to playlist end
  Dropping on the form or playlist will insert file(s).
  Dropping on the form or playlist with right mouse
  button will insert file(s) and open a menu for further
  actions.

  Dropping on the default play buttons will insert
  file(s), mark to first file, and:
   - Previous button: dropping not supported
   - Play button:     Play new file(s) immediately
                      (no crossfade support)
   - Pause button:    No additional function
   - Stop button:     No additional function
   - Next button:     Play new file(s) after current song
   - End song button: Ends current song, play new file(s)
                      (e.g. crossfade, stop each song)

  You can also drag items from your playlist to the
  explorer or other programs. (Dragging to the explorer
  will copy files)

MP3 Format Icon
---------------

  Be sure "Read MP3 format" is activated (General
  settings, Supported formats)

  Icon          Description
  Red           Low Quality (below 128kbs/44kHz) or mono!
                any Version / Layer/ Bitrate
  Blue          128kbs/44kHz, not Version 1 Layer 3 or
                Variable bitrate
  Blue Checked  128kbs/44kHz, Version 1 Layer 3
                Constant bitrate
  Green         High Quality; below 320kbs/44kHz, not
                Version 1 Layer 3 or Variable bitrate
  Green Checked High Quality (320kbs/44kHz or higher)
                Version 1 Layer 3, Constant bitrate

!Automatic Playback
-------------------

  Be sure "Automatic playback" is activated (General
  settings, Filetypes)

  Whenever you start playback (Play-Button, Menu, ...),
  and playback will be stopped (error, empty playlist),
  QuickPlayer automatically will retry playback after one
  minute. Pressing "Stop" will disable automatic playback
  (When "Play next" is set, QuickPlayer will not stop /
  disable "Automatic Playback", but remove your "Play
  next" command.), pressing "Play" will reactivate it.

Audio CDs
---------

  Multiple CD-Drives:
  QuickPlayer does not detect CD-Rom drives. Whenever you
  specify a CDA file, CD playback for the according drive
  will be started.
  
  No crossfading when both current and next item are
  audio CD tracks, wether on the same device (drive
  letter) or not.
  
  Be sure the CD drive you use for audio cds is connected
  to the "Audio CD" input on your soundcard (not Dat In,
  or Auxilary). Otherwise volume changes wont work
  (affects fading / crossfading / volume / ...).
  Whenever using audio CDs, this may change the global
  volume setting for Audio CDs.

  I encountered problems with playing audio CDs
  (Songs are skipped so the track is not yet finished; I
  think it is a fmod problem). I have not tested this
  that much. I discussed this problem with my brother and
  he thinks that either the first / last CD drive should
  work without that problem, but I have not yet tested.
  If anyone knows details, please eMail (info@ctuser.net)

!Kiosk mode
-----------

  When starting QuickPlayer with the "/locked" command
  line parameter, QuickPlayer will use the kiosk mode.
  This mode is designed when using QuickPlayer for
  playback on public computers to prevent the user from
  aborting playback but give him the possibility to see
  the Player. The user can search songs in the playlist,
  change between playlists found in QuickPlayer directory
  choose the next song, depending on "Playlist
  doubleclick" setting, even skip or end songs. Therefor,
  QuickPlayer will hide most menus and overwrite some
  settings.
  
  It's recommed to check all playlists in the QuickPlayer
  directory are functional. Additional, you may want to
  define QuickPlayer as windows shell and start with the
  "/SHELL" command (QuickPlayer will show the Windows
  shutdown dialog instead of quitting).
  You may also startup with other settings, using the
  "/BASE=..." command line parameter
  Globalkeys will still be active, but denied keys will
  not work.
  Use /VOLUME parameter to allow volume changing (+/-)
  Use /CD to allow the "Refresh CD content" function.

  Check the other commandline parameters for other
  features.

Keyboard shortcuts
------------------

  All functions are available via menu. The keyboard
  command / shortcut is mentioned there, e.g.:

  Play      X      -> Pressing x will start playback
  Find...   Ctrl+F -> Pressing Ctrl+F will open the find
                      window

  When using Ctrl+[key], be shure to release [key]
  before releasing Ctrl, or QuickPlayer may react on
  [key]

  If Globalkeys are activated, you can press these short-
  cuts to control QuickPlayer, with no need that
  QuickPlayer is the current application / form:
  
  Ctrl + Alt + Z Previous
  Ctrl + Alt + X Restart/Play
  Ctrl + Alt + C (Un)Pause
  Ctrl + Alt + V Stop
  Ctrl + Alt + B Skip
  Ctrl + Alt + E End song

  Ctrl + Alt + A Repeat all
  Ctrl + Alt + S Repeat single
  Ctrl + Alt + D Repeat random

  Ctrl + Alt + + Volume up
  Ctrl + Alt + - Volume down

  If keyboard commands don't work, you may have to press
  tab once or click once on your playlist.

!Mouse Gestures
---------------

  (Thanks to Opera Software (http://www.opera.com) for
  using gestures. Once used to gestures, I liked them, so
  I decided to support gestures for QuickPlayer, too.)
  
  Be sure Mouse gestures are activated (General settings)
  
  Mouse gestures allow you to do actions by special
  mousemoves. Do do this, rightclick on the playlist (be
  shure not to click on an marked item), hold down and
  move...

  Left          Previous track
  Left   Up     Pause
  Left   Down   Stop
  Right         Play
  Right  Up     Next track
  Right  Down   End song
  Up            Play next
  Up     Left   Add file(s)
  Up     Right  Add directory
  Down          Restore window
  Down   Left   Maximixe
  Down   Right  Minimize

!End songs after ... minutes
----------------------------

  The "End songs after ... minutes" setting affects the
  time the current song really has been played, not the
  current position.
  It's designed to prevent tracker/midi/CD Audio from
  playing continous.

!Generate playlist
------------------

  This tool helps you to recreate a playlist, that means
  that you know the artists / titles (e.g. you have a
  tape or CD and want to record them to MiniDisk)
  Simply type one search expression for each song, and
  this tool will add the requested songs at playlist end.
  When multiple songs are found, a new "folder" is
  created for that seach request.

!Recording support
------------------

  QuickPlayer does not support recording / cd recording
  itself, but as it supports full drag'n'drop, you can
  simply drag any song(s) to your favourite recording
  software.

!Timers
-------

  To load timers on startup, use the /LOADTIMER[=file]
  command line parameter.
  
  Additionally, when importing timers, you can use a
  relative time (+30 means 30 minutes later):
  Timer file syntax:
    <time>: <events>[<description>][{<playlistfile>}]
   - Open your *.qpt
   - Edit your line
       e.g. 1210: 100600 LoadPlaylist{C:\Test.m3u}
       to     +30: 100600 LoadPlaylist{C:\Test.m3u}

!Command line parameters
------------------------

  Please note that some parameters are useless when [not]
  used with other parameters.

  <Playlist>
  /BASE=<path\file> Instructs QuickPlayer to use another
                    filename for settings, playlist and

                    minimized
  /VOLUME           Allowes volume changing in kiosk mode

  When no commandline parameters (except <playlist>, /CMD
  or /BASE=...) are specified, QuickPlayer tries to open
  "QPlayer.cmd" for commandline parameters (if the /BASE
  commandline parameter is used, QuickPlayer looks for
  a matching <file> first). A /BASE parameter in the
  CMD-file will be ignored. A playlist specified in a
  CMD-file is only used if no playlist is specified in
  the commandline parameter, or it cannot be loaded.
  If no playlist is specified (or none can be loaded),
  the default playlist (according to /BASE, if specified)
  is used.

  Here is the hierarchy:
    <playlist>
    <(other) parameters>
    </base>
      <cmdfile>
        <playlist>
        <(other) parameters>
      <playlist>                        (Used for saving)
    <default>                (if /base is NOT USED only!)
      <cmdfile>
        <playlist>
        <(other) parameters>
      <playlist>                        (Used for saving)

!Settings / Presets / Playlist
------------------------------

  The INI-file is compatible with most previously saved
  files and may be compatible with future QuickPlayer
  versions. Some settings, of course, may be ignored
  when using different versions

  The playlist (m3u-file) is compatible, but when using
  QuickPlayer playlists with other players / other
  QuickPlayer versions (or versewise), only the playlist
  itself (filelist) will be loaded. Any additional
  settings will get lost.

  Preset files (*.qps) are similar to the INI-file.
  Use them to quickly changes multiple settings at once.
  You can use up to 64 presets. You can use the built-in
  preset manager or create presets with a simple editor.
  You can also copy and rename your current INI-file (if
  QuickPlayer is running, save settings first).
  
  The following settings are stored in the playlist (m3u):
   - Autorefresh refresh interval (#iAutoRefreshTimer)
   - Autorefresh directories (#a...)
   - Last played song (ignored on random mode)
     (#iLastSong)
   - Playlist (non-refresh songs only)
   - Remove missing songs (*) (#iRemoveMissingSongs)
   - Remove manually skipped songs (*)
     (#iRemoveSkippedSongs)
   - Remove played songs (*) (#iRemovePlayedSongs)
   - Repeat mode (*) (#iRepeatMode)

  The following settings are stored in the INI-file or
  preset file(s):
   - Allow file delete (AllowFileDeleting)
   - Always on top (AlwaysOnTop)
   - Automatic playback (AutoPlay)
   - Check for accurate streams (CheckAccurateStreams)
   - Crossfading / MD Record mode / Stop after each song
     (EndSongMode) (0=off, 1=XFade, 2=MDMode, 3=StopMode)
   - Directory/file sorting (Sorting)
   - Disabled file types (DisabledFiles)
   - End ... after ... minutes (EndCDAudio, EndStreams,
     EndTrackers). (0 or negative value if disabled)
   - Fading (Fading)
   - Flat Buttons  (FlatButtons)
   - Follow current song (FollowSong)
   - High detail spectrum (SpectrumQuality)
   - Get MP3 Format (GetMP3Format)
   - Global Keys (Ctrl+Alt+KEY) (GlobalPlayKeys)
   - Ignore files/directories beginning with # or _
     (IgnoreUnderscored)
   - Mouse gestures (MouseGesture)
   - Output device settings (OutPutMode, SoundCard)
   - Playlist doubleclick action (PlaylistDoubleClick)
   - Remove missing songs (*) (RemoveMissingSongs)
   - Remove manually skipped songs (*)
     (RemoveSkippedSongs)
   - Remove played songs (*) (RemovePlayedSongs)
   - Repeat mode (*) (RepeatMode)
   - Show elapsed time (ElapsedTime)
   - Show titles when minimized (TitlesWhenMinimized)
   - Spectrum analyzer (Spectrum, SpectrumQuality)
     ('SpectrumQuality' stored in INI file only)
   - Tracker Stereo Panning (TrackerPanSeperation)
   - Tray icon settings (TrayIcon, TrayMinimize,
     TrayLeftClick, TrayRightClick)
   - Show additional file infos (GetFileInfos)
   - Volume (Volume)
   - Window position (Player) and size (WindowLeft,
     WindowTop, WindowWidth, WindowHeight)

  The following settings are stored in the ini-file only
   - Failsave state (Failsave)

  The following setting is stored in the Windows
  regestry:
   - Register playlists / Default playlist program
   - Run at windows startup (HotKey_LocalMachine,
     Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run,
     QuickPlayer)

  (*) These settings are stored in both ini-file and
  playlist (m3u-file). The settings in the ini-file will
  be used on startup if no playlist is loaded / playlist
  loading fails.
