RealityRipple/Lime-Seed-Media-Player

This system is a multimedia framework comprising several components for video decoding, audio playback, and file management. It provides an API for remote control of the FFDShow video decoder and a dedicated tray player for persistent music playback. The system also includes libraries for extracting detailed metadata from various audio and video formats and integrates with Windows Explorer to expose file properties and handle associations.

The Seed component now includes dedicated header parsers for ID3v1 and ID3v2 (MP3), Xing/VBRI (MP3 VBR), Vorbis/FLAC, MIDI, MKV, RIFF/AVI/WAV, and MPEG streams. This allows the application to extract detailed metadata—such as track titles, artists, album art, and technical stream properties—from these file types.

LimeSeed adds a new floating tray player (frmTray) that provides persistent, top-most playback controls (rewind, play/pause, stop, fast-forward, and restore) with custom hover/active states and a progress bar, allowing users to control music without the main window. The application's error handling has been improved: unhandled exceptions now display a detailed dialog with the full stack trace and options to ignore or exit, replacing the previous simple balloon notification, and missing critical assembly errors now trigger a clear message and immediate exit. Additionally, the legacy ID3v2 tag creation form (frmNewID3v2Tag) has been removed, and various internal classes (clsCDRip, clsCDText) have been updated with modern VB.NET syntax and more robust error handling for CD text retrieval.

Added the FFDShowAPI library, a .NET component that enables external applications to interact with the FFDShow video decoder. This API exposes COM interfaces (such as IffdshowBase, IffdshowDec, and IffdshowDecVideo) and a remote communication mechanism via Windows messages (WM\_COPYDATA) to allow developers to get and set live settings, manage presets, control playback state (play, pause, seek), and retrieve metadata like frame times and subtitles.

FFAPI · high confidence

GreenThumb now extracts detailed metadata for audio, video, and document files (such as artist, album, duration, and resolution) to expose them in Windows Explorer properties, alongside a more robust thumbnail scaling process that includes garbage collection and exception handling to prevent crashes during image generation.

The repository now includes a public domain license (Unlicense) and updates the .gitignore to exclude DLL files. The solution file has been refactored to remove a project dependency, add a new C\# project (FFDShowAPI\_2010), and introduce multiple new build configurations (Debug/Release ASCII) across various platforms and architectures.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The application version has been updated to 0.8, and the file association logic now registers the .m3u8 extension alongside .m3u for playlists. Additionally, the .ogg extension has been added to the list of video file types handled by the association manager, and registry property handlers are now configured for OGG, OGM, and MKV formats to expose detailed metadata in Windows Explorer.

LSFA · high confidence

The project files have been updated to reflect significant structural changes: the FFDShowAPI dependency has been replaced with a new project reference to FFDShowAPI\_2010, and the ID3v2 tag creation UI (frmNewID3v2Tag) has been removed. A new system tray interface (frmTray) with associated icons and resources has been added, and the Seed library has been expanded with new header parsing classes (e.g., clsID3v2, clsMPEG) and a socket class. Additionally, XML documentation generation has been disabled for the LSFA project.
