HEVC(H.265) support

[porto]

Hi there, I was wondering are you going to add support for HEVC(H.265) video format?

[radi]

I guess it will after it became a display standard.

Is there really any point in waiting for HEVC becoming oh-so-obama-approved standard? x265 is mature now. There are plenty of rips encoded with x265, and VLC already has some HEVC support playing them all.

i used to love and recommend splash pro to people.
i still love it in a way.
but there is a fundamental gap between what is absolutely required from a PROPER video player, which viewers EXPECT and NEED to have, and what mirillis think they need to have.

i'm sorry to say that, mirillis developers does not live in the same reality many of its potential clients do.
they do not have the same watch habits and uses for their video player.

H.265 is BECOMING something we'd like to have at its early stages of becoming the new standard, not its late stages.
but that is not even the big issue right now for me.

subtitles support is horrific.
i find myself more and more switching to my alternative video player because of poor subtitles support.
is it really so hard to add support of color coding in SRT? (for example)
obviously its a widely used standard.
even if its just an evolutionary addendum to a base standard, a support for it is requested by reality of available subs that implement it.

and what about SUB/IDX format that splash pro dont support?
some local language translators uses it to prevent competitive websites stealing and claiming credit for it.
are mirillis developers even aware of that?

even worse, many VIDEOS, especially those made from WEB SOURCED VIDEOS, glitch and skips when viewer with splash pro.
they does not do that with other players.

so clearly SPLASH PRO is disconnected from wide reality requirements of its users(or potential users).
that is a failure in both the software development map, and the business side of product/client overview.

and i believe, no.. i KNOW! this is one of the reasons SPLASH PRO sales are a fraction of what they could be if those issues had not been dragged and ignored for so long, losing its momentum when people loved and recommended it for all the good qualities it have.

maybe i should'v opened a new thread to say this.
maybe splash is a stillborn, and not even developed seriously anymore, as its developers moved to invest their times on more profitable ventures.
how else would you explain that the last developer blog was 2 years ago?

Excellent post, agerune, I can't add anything. Summarizes all that has been said around here. We understand that Action is the new product to put the efforts on, but Splash Pro seems discontinued. We told we can pay again, we understand, but you depelopers need to pull Splash Pro out of the deep hole is in, deprecated and forgotten for months and months.

Please, tell us something.
