Mediocre is a simple media player for windows, designed to be small, fast and flexible.
It uses OpenGL for rendering and is being improved to become extremely configurable, though at the moment it only has a minimal UI and is missing many esoteric features. This is just an early version though, more features are coming.
Developers may be interested in the source code as it implements video textures that are actually faster than DirectShow overlay rendering on ATI cards.
Nightly builds are now online, those who are interested may take a look in the download section.
Things have been quiet around here the last couple of months, mostly due to real life getting in the way. Fear not though—Mediocre is still being improved, just at a slower pace. [more]
nVidia has released drivers with GLSL support enabled by default and Mediocre 0.1.1 has been confirmed working in hardware decoding mode on a Quadro FX 500.
Version 0.1.1 has been released. It is a minor update but contains a bugfix that enables hardware YUY2-RGB conversion on GLSL-enabled nVidia cards. This improves performance on affected cards.
