TheaterTek sendmessage commands?

[Marbles_00]

Anyone have a complete list of TheaterTek sendmessage commands. I'm looking to find if there are commands for controlling aspect ratio, display configuration (gamma, contrast, brightness, etc.), and any other commands that haven't been covered in the "theatertek" eventlist. Maybe it can't be done...oh well, worth a shot.

Thanks in advance.

On my list of unfinished plugins is one for controling TT via its TPC interface...


Anyway heres a list of the WM Command messages that TT is supposed to support

[Marbles_00]

Thanks for the info. I did see the IP commands, but haven't tried them. I quickly tried the gamma, brightness and contrast send messages, but nothing seemed to happen...then I had to get going to work, so I will play somemore tonight.

Not to crap on your thread Marbles but I have been curious to hear what people like better about TT over Zoom. Have you tried Zoom, Marbles?

[Marbles_00]

I love Zoom Player. It is so configurable...and you know me, I love tweaking things. I guess that's what individuals like about TheaterTek, it's a type of player where you don't have to have a PhD in order to use it. Two reason's why I was wondering about TheaterTek Send Messages. I wanted to incorporate it into Mirage, so individuals have the chance to use one or the other. I wanted to make it easy on people. The second reason: I was having problems lately with my version of Zoom Player. I had TheaterTek sitting around and figure I'd just swap over. I was able though to figure out what was wrong with Zoom, and now I'm swapping back.

Well off to the gym.

[S Pittaway]

lets be honest they all use the same codecs so the picture is more or less the same with most players.

reseons i went with TT,
i think the on screen menu looks more professional when its running on my projecter.
it has sensible default values to help give a good picture.
it worked out of the box, i started off using zoomplayer but it was taking up to much time

[Marbles_00]

Pretty much assured the reason I think people like TT over Zoom. Nothing wrong with either program, as Pittaway states, each use the same codecs, so you can't go on the merit of picture quality, but Zoom requires alot of "fine tuning". Some like me, don't mind the fine tuning...others don't want to be bothered.

[scottw]

Thanks to both of you!!!!

[CiXel]

My biggest reason for using TT over Zoom was the aspect ratio mode. This gives me a really easy way to go 'fullscreen' with a movie should I desire, and also for people like my brother who have a 42" widescreen plasma at a resolution of 1024x768 it allows for properly displaying a move on that screen, something we have been unable to achieve with zoom.
