Establish Connection with Microsoft Services

You can customize Elmedia Player settings in Preferences, invoked from the main menu.

Preferences window consists of several tabs:

1. General

Put new downloads in: Choose the folder where your downloads will be stored to.

Playlist:

• Autoplay files added to playlist: If this option is enabled, once a file is added to playlist, it will start playing automatically.
• Add downloaded files to playlist automatically: Your downloaded video will be automatically saved into your Elmedia playlist.
• Automatically add files to playlist on opening: If unchecked, files are opened and played without adding them to Elmedia playlist.

2. Playlist

Go to next playlist item if:

- the last frame is reached: This option permits to find out whether the current movie has been finished. Once this option is enabled, Elmedia Player proceeds to the next playlist item when the last frame of the current movie is reached.
- the frame number decreased: Elmedia Player is able to detect the last movie frame when unexpected or unusual frame sequence happens (the movie was rewound and played from the start). Check this option if you would like to proceed to the next item in the playlist when such movie behavior occurs.
- the player stays on the same frame more than …: When you select this option, you let Elmedia Player jump to the next playlist item automatically if the movie stays on the same frame during the certain period of time. Elmedia Player gives you a possibility to set inactivity time of the movie manually.

3. Capture

Here you can customize options for making screenshots of files:

- Specify the destination folder where screenshots will be stored into. You can choose to save captured screenshots either to the same folder where the movie is placed or to set other directory.
- Captured screenshots can be saved either in TIFF, PNG or GIF.
- Specify the screenshots interval in seconds by dragging the corresponding slider.
- If you choose “Always start capturing from 1st frame (1st sec)” option, capture will always start from the first frame (or from the first second for FLV files). In case you are watching a video file and click “Record a Series of Screenshots” option, you will notice, that playback of the file starts from the very beginning and Elmedia starts capturing screenshots of a file.
- If you tick “Keep capturing in every next movie in Playlist“, Elmedia will capture screenshots of all files, located in the playlist.

4. Video

Enable force index rebuilding: If this option is on, Elmedia will automatically repair broken search index for corrupted video files. Force index rebuilding ensures that certain Elmedia movie controls (such as dragging progress slider, or seeking backward/forward 10 seconds) will correctly work for broken files: incompletely downloaded files, badly created files, etc. Force index rebuilding for large files may take some time, so playback may be delayed by some seconds.

Deinterlace method:
Deinterlacing is the process of converting interlaced video, such as common analog television signals or DVDrip, into a non-interlaced form. Deinterlacing is used to get rid of the visual artifacts like edge flicking, line crawling, blur, jaggedness, etc.

The choice of deinterlace method depends on the movie itself. Simply try several methods before choosing the best one for the specific video.

There are several deinterlacing algorithms to choose from:

• None – no deinterlacing.
• FFMpeg – FFmpeg deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the given block by filtering every second line with a (−1 4 2 4 −1) filter.
• LPF5 – Vertically applied FIR (finite impulse response) lowpass deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the given block by filtering all lines with a (−1 2 6 2 −1) filter.
• Blend – Linear blend deinterlacing filter that deinterlaces the given block by filtering all lines with a (1 2 1) filter.

Image enhancement:
Video image can be improved by means of post processing. Post processing techniques permit to delete MPEG artifacts, smooth the sharp edges, etc. The filter effectiveness depends directly on the CPU speed.

The following filters are available:

• None – No filters are applied.
• Normal – Default post processing filter combination (hb:a,vb:a,dr:a): horizontal deblocking filter plus vertical deblocking filter plus deringing filter. Switches horizontal deblocking, vertical deblocking and deringing on or off automatically depending on available CPU time.
• Fast – Fast post processing filter combination (h1:a,v1:a,dr:a): experimental horizontal deblocking filter plus experimental vertical deblocking filter plus deringing filter. Automatically switches the subfilter off if the CPU is too slow.
• Advanced – High quality post processing filter combination (ha:a:128:7,va:a,dr:a).

Performance:

Use cache for local files: Enable caching for slow media, like files of large size, videos on external storages, Flash drives, etc. Turn off caching for badly interleaved AVI files (when audio is slower or faster than the video, the picture is jerky, etc.).

Hardware acceleration: For videos encoded with the help of H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) video coding format. By default, this option is selected to improve the quality of playback, particularly the performance of full-screen playback. Hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video card on your computer to display video more clearly and quickly.

Skip frames: Check this option if you experience playback problems, for example, with high definition video. Elmedia will skip video frames to keep video and audio tracks in sync.

Action on double-click: Set double-click action (Play/Pause, Enter/Exit Fullscreen).

Fullscreen monitor: Assign your Mac monitor for full screen videos to be displayed on it.

Interface:

Resize interface to the original video size: Elmedia automatically resizes to show the video at the best size.

Show OSD: When playing a video, you can bring up the on-screen display controls: progress slider for dragging or seeking backward/forward 10 seconds.

5. Audio

Audio device: Set the default sound device (speakers or headphones). – PRO feature

Number of playback channels: Set the number of playback channels for stereo equipment. Most DVDs and many other files include surround sound. Elmedia Player supports surround playback but does not enable it by default because stereo equipment is by far more common. If you have surround sound equipment it is safe to change the option “Number of playback channels” in Elmedia Player Preferences. For example, to make quadraphonic playback the default, choose 4 channels. Elmedia Player will then output audio in four channels when all four channels are available. – PRO version

Automatically load external tracks: Set automatic loading of external audios – all tracks with movie name, same name as movie or all tracks in directory.

Preferred audio language: Specify the preferred language for media with multiple audio streams.

Passthrough for hardware decoders: Enable passthrough for hardware decoders – AC3 or DTS for surround audio (PRO feature). DVDs usually have surround audio encoded in AC3 (Dolby Digital) or DTS (Digital Theater System) format. Some modern audio equipment is capable of decoding these formats internally. Elmedia Player can be configured to relay the audio data without decoding it. This will only work if you have a S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) jack in your sound card, or if you are passing audio over HDMI.
If your audio equipment can decode both AC3 and DTS, you can safely enable passthrough for both formats. Otherwise, enable passthrough for only the format your equipment supports.

Virtual surround emulation:
1. For 5 to 6 channel audio (PRO feature):
Enable virtual surround for headphones (only for 5 to 6 channel audio). Converts multichannel audio to 2 channel output for headphones, preserving the spatiality of the sound. Only works well with 5 or 6 channels. Virtual surround for headphones uses technology called Head Related Transfer Functions (HRTF). HRTF uses information about the physics of your head to create a virtual surround sound experience through your stereo headphones. When listening to music or movie audio with enabled virtual surround, you might feel like the sound is transcending the headphones, providing a listening experience that includes hearing sounds from front to back, as well as side to side.

2. For stereo (PRO feature):
Enable virtual speakers for headphones to improve headphone listening experience  – only for stereo audio.
A typical stereo records are being made to listen by speakers. Therefore, you will be tired during a long time headphone listening more by a superstereo effect than by a poor design of headphones. This option improves the headphone listening experience by making the sound similar to that from loudspeakers, allowing each ear to hear both channels and taking into account the distance difference and the head shadowing effect.

6. Subtitles

Autoload subtitles: Set here the way to automatically load the subtitles file.

Preferred language: specify preferred subtitle language for media with multiple subtitle streams.

Select first available subtitle: In case the video contains subtitles, they will be displayed automatically.

Encoding: It is expected that the default setting (UTF-8) works for the most of languages but if you see wrong characters on the screen, try to change subtitles text encoding.

Font: You can change font type, size and color.

Apply these settings to ASS files: If unchecked, the predefined subtitles formatting and style of .ass files will be ignored so that Elmedia style could be applied to subtitles.

Don’t forget to restart playback to apply the changes.

You can watch a video at the specified web address using Elmedia Player interface as if you were using a web browser.

1. First, switch to the browser mode:

 2. Enter the web address and press Enter:

3. Choose the video you would like to watch:

4. Finally, watch the video you want:

‘Open Online Video’ option lets you quickly play any videos (including YouTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion) without opening browser window, if you already have a direct video URL.

1. Choose Open Online Video option from the main menu:

2. Insert the URL:

You can set the resolution to play the video at.

3. Finally click Open. Your video will start playing in Elmedia player.

Elmedia lets you manage playback controls, allowing autohide them as well.

Three states of controls are possible:

1. Controls are always visible. Autohide is off.
Elmedia will keep the progress bar and player controls always visible.

You can use alt+cmd+c keys combination for ‘Controls are visible’ option as well.

2. Controls are always invisible.
Elmedia will keep the progress bar and player controls always invisible.
Hiding controls might be comfortable when playing certain SWF files.

3. Controls are visible. Autohide is on.
That means that the progress bar and player controls only pop up when you hover over the video.

Note: Autohide option is not applicable to audio files playback.

The following table lists the file types (formats) supported by Elmedia:

What if:

1. Subtitles display incorrect characters…

If you are loading an external subtitles file but some of the characters are being displayed incorrectly, please first make sure that the suitable font is set. By default, WenQuanYi Micro Hei is used. This is an all-purpose font which allows displaying the majority of subtitles properly, including Chinese ones. But sometimes subtitles may be displayed incorrectly even if WenQuanYi Micro Hei is set. Try setting another font in Preferences and restart the program.

For example, to display subtitles in Arabian correctly, set Arial or Arial Unicode MS. Do not forget to restart the video.

3. Open the subtitles file (.srt, .ass, .smil, .jss, .rt, .utf, .smi, .txt, .ssa) manually using one of the following ways:

3.1 View → Subtitles → Add from File

3.2 From the context menu: Subtitles → Add from File…

3.3 File → Open…

3.4 Drag and drop the subtitles file on the application icon in Status bar or on Elmedia’s main window.

Follow these steps to take a screenshot:

1. Go to “Capture” tab in Preferences and specify the destination folder where screenshots will be stored.
2. Start playing the file.
3. Now, click Take Screenshot option in the main menu –> Movie:

Each time you click this option, a screenshot is made. Screenshots are saved in .tiff format.

To make series of screenshots, follow these steps:

1. Go to “Capture” tab in Preferences.
Specify the destination folder where screenshots will be stored.
Captured screenshots can be saved either in TIFF, PNG or GIF.

Specify the screenshots interval in seconds by dragging the corresponding slider.

If you choose “Always start capturing from 1st frame (1st sec)” option, capture will always start from the first frame (or from the first second for FLV files). In case you are watching a video file and click “Record a Series of Screenshots” option, you will notice that playback of the file starts from the very beginning and Elmedia Player starts capturing screenshots of a file.

If you tick “Keep capturing in every next movie in Playlist“, Elmedia Player will capture screenshots of all files, located in the playlist.

2. Start playing the file. Click “Record a Series of Screenshots” option from the main menu. Screenshots will be taken according to the interval you’ve set. Click the option one more time to stop making screenshots. Screenshots are saved in .tiff format.

In Elmedia, files can be organized into playlists, which is especially helpful when you have many files. You can create a playlist to suit some occasion, to group specific kind of files (for example, your favorite pop songs), etc..

Elmedia supports standard playlists.

How to create a new standard playlist:

• Drag and drop the files (or even a folder containing the files) to Elmedia Player.
• Go to the main menu –> File –> Save Playlist:

• Type the desired playlist name in the text field, assign tags and set the destination path.
• Then click Save button:

Saving playlists may be useful for backup purposes. When you create a new playlist, export it to your Mac’s hard drive. Now, if you accidentally delete this playlist from Elmedia, you can easily restore it by importing from your hard drive.

You can also export a playlist and then import it to Elmedia Player on a different Mac, so that you can have the same playlist on both Macs.
Tracks from the imported playlist will be played only if they can be located by Elmedia Player on your hard drive, otherwise you will receive an error message. It happens because the imported playlist contains only the list of items (with the paths to the actual files indicated), but not the actual files themselves. If you receive an error message, which means that the file was not located for some reason (for example, its path is different), you can locate this file manually by clicking the “Find” button:

To load (import) a playlist, choose “Load Playlist” option from the main menu. In the invoked window browse to the required playlist and click “Open” button.

How to manage a playlist

1. To remove an item from playlist, right-click it in the list and choose “Delete” option from the context menu. Or choose “Remove from Playlist” option from Main menu. This does not remove the item from your hard drive.

2. There are two modes of files playback – Repeat and Shuffle:

1. Repeat may have one of the three states: “Repeat Off”, “Repeat One” (the current file will be played continuously), “Repeat All” (all files in your playlist will be repeated).
2. Shuffle option plays playlist items randomly.

With Elmedia Player PRO, you can download YouTube playlists.

To download YouTube playlists with Elmedia Player PRO, do the following:

1. First, go to the required YouTube account and switch to Playlists tab:

2. Choose the required playlist from the list. Be patient, parsing may take some time.
Once parsing is over, choose the format to save the files into. Finally, click Download all.
