All features
[Overview]
Play Everything (Audio, Videos, Images, Playlists over any Protocol)
Extends FFmpeg's supported protocols and formats with additional plugins (You-tube DL, TorrentBitSwarm)
Accepts Custom I/O Streams and Plugins to handle non-standard protocols / formats
Play it Smoothly (Even with high resolutions 8K / HDR)
Coded from scratch to gain the best possible performance with FFmpeg & DirectX using video acceleration and custom pixel shaders
Threading implementation with efficient cancellation which allows fast open, play, pause, stop, seek and stream switching
Develop it Easy
Provides a DPI aware, hardware accelerated Direct3D Surface (FlyleafHost) which can be hosted as normal control to your application and easily develop above it your own transparent overlay content
All the implementation uses UI notifications (PropertyChanged / ObservableCollection etc.) so you can use it as a ViewModel directly
For WPF provides a Control (FlyleafME) with all the basic UI sub-controls (Bar, Settings, Popup menu) and can be customized with style / control template overrides
[Features]
