01如何添加媒体文件以及字幕文件到GoodPlayer?

有2种方法

1.1. Wi-Fi文件上传
点击GoodPlayer中的“Wi-Fi”按钮,然后通过浏览器或者FTP客户端上传文件,推荐使用Chrome浏览器,Chrome浏览器在左下角有上传的进度提示
注意:Wi-Fi上传可能较慢,大文件还是用iTunes File Sharing 上传较快


1.2 "iTunes文件共享"上传文件
Apple公司"iTunes文件共享"介绍页面 https://support.apple.com/zh-cn/120403

如何使用“文件共享”拷贝文件

1. 使用随附的基座接口转 USB 电缆将 iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch连接到电脑。
2. 在电脑上启动 iTunes 9.1 或更高版本。
3. 从 iTunes 的“设备”部分选择 iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch。

4. 点按“应用程序”标签,并向下滚动到页面底部。
注:如果没有看到下图所示的“文件共享”部分,则表示您的iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch没有任何支持“文件共享”的应用程序。

5. 在“文件共享”部分中,您将看到 iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch 上当前安装的支持“文件共享”的应用程序列表。选择某个应用程序可查看 iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch 上与该应用程序相关联的文件列表。

02GoodPlayer 如何删除文件 ?

Goodplayer有如下2种删除文件的方法.


2.1 在文件上左右滑动手指,“删除”选项即会出现。
2.2 使用iTunes文件共享删除文件

要删除使用“文件共享”拷贝到 iPad 应用程序的文件,请执行以下操作:

1. 将 iPad 连接到电脑。
2. 在 iTunes 的“设备”部分中选择 iPad。
3. 点按“应用程序”标签,然后向下滚动到“文件共享”部分。
4. 选择要从其中删除特定文件的应用程序。
5. 从“文稿”列表中选中文件,然后按下键盘上的 Delete 键。
6. 系统提示您确认请求时,点按“删除”。

7. 文件将立即从 iPad 上的应用程序中删除。

03GoodPlayer 通过Wi-Fi上传时如何查看进度 ?

推荐使用Chrome浏览器,Chrome浏览器在左下角有上传的进度提示

04GoodPlayer 通过Wi-Fi上传时,程序退出怎么办 ?

推荐使用Chrome浏览器,Chrome浏览器在左下角有上传的进度提示,并且Chrome浏览器在上传测试时最为稳定。如果一种浏览器始终有这个问题的话,请换一种浏览器试试,比如Chrome,Opera, Safari,Firefox,Internet Explorer

05GoodPlayer 通过Wi-Fi或者iTunes文件共享上传后,程序不能列出文件 ?

先尝试用任务条的刷新按钮;如果还是不能列出文件的话,可以试着重启一次程序;重启GoodPlayer程序无效的话,请重启一次手机。

06为什么程序说明支持记住当前位置,但是每次却从头开始播放文件?

需要按了“完成”按钮后才能记住当前播放位置。

07为什么购买了GoodPlayer程序后却无法安装到设备上?

安装和运行本应用程序要求CPU为Cortex-A8或Cortex-A9,对于特殊的机型iPod Touch 3 8G,请仔细检查CPU要求

08为什么不能把文件上传到Inbox文件夹?

不要上传文件到Inbox文件夹,也不要在Inbox文件夹里创建子目录,Inbox文件夹是系统生成管理的特殊文件夹,不支持这些操作。

09如何删除文件夹?

与删除文件类似,有2种方法: 在文件夹上左右 滑动手指,“删除”选项即会出现。 或者在iTunes文件共享中,选中文件夹,然后按下键盘上的 Delete 键。

10为什么输入网址时只能输入流媒体的具体地址,而不支持网页?

目前输入URL的格式是 http://192.168.1.10/test.avi 等等具体的流媒体地址,还不支持打开普通网页

11“Open in”功能还支持从其它的程序中打开文件吗?

除了支持Safari与Mail,GoodPlayer也支持从其它的程序打开文件,但是前提条件是该程序支持这个特性。

12购买GoodPlayer后,发现它不是自己所需要的程序,怎么办?

请尽快联系苹果公司办理退款手续,苹果公司对这种情况在一定期限内提供了退款服务。对于由此带来的任何不便,我们深表歉意。

13观看如何用GoodPlayer局域网上的媒体文件?

可以用HTTP或者 FTP流式播放来观看.

Mac计算机内置了HTTP与FTP文件共享机制, 在PC上也有很多类似的软件可以实现HTTP与FTP服务器.

Mac -->System Preferences
-->Sharing---> Web Sharing is for HTTP.

Mac -->System Preferences
-->Sharing---> File Sharing --->Options is for FTP.

通过HTTP/FTP共享文件后:
1. 在GoodPlayer中输入URL即可以播放. URL例子:
http://192.168.1.10/test.avi
ftp://username:password@192.168.1.10/test.avi
2. 或者制作一个 包含goodplayer:// URL链接的网页,链接的例子
goodplayer://http://192.168.1.10/test.avi
goodplayer://ftp://username:password@192.168.1.10/test.avi

再从 iOS 设备打开网页, 点击 goodplayer:// 链接 ,就可以播放了. 请注意FTP例子中是有用户名口令参数的。

14为什么我的设备不支持TV-Out/VGA-Out
?

由于API的限制, TV-Out/VGA-Out只支持iPad,iPhone 4和iPod Touch 4,请注意,应用程序中如果使用了iPod插件播放就不支持电视输出,只有使用该应用程序的原生播放才支持电视输出,另外,iPhone 3GS和iPod Touch 3不支持电视输出和VGA输出。

15新建立了文件夹后,怎么把文件上传到文件夹?

由于iTunes文件共享功能不支持把文件上传到子目录,所以只能用Wi-Fi上传功能把文件上传到新建立的文件夹。

1. 新建文件夹 2. 点击GoodPlayer中的Wi-Fi按钮 3. 用浏览器打开网页,浏览到对应的文件夹,上传文件。

推荐用Chrome浏览器上传文件,测试中Chrome是最稳定的,Chrome浏览器的左下角还有上传的进度显示。

16如何用GoodPlayer观看电视直播?

如果可以找到电视直播的URL,输入后就可以观看了。

也可以自己建立直播电视源,然后用GoodPlayer观看,比如说用VLC软件把电视或者其它视频源作为UDP或者RTP流等推送出来,然后在GoodPlayer上用如下URL形式观看

udp://@192.168.1.182

rtp://192.168.1.182

或者自建立网页,用如下的goodplayer:// URL

goodplayer://udp://@192.168.1.182

goodplayer://rtp://192.168.1.182

请注意UDP流URL中的“@”符号。

17如何在程序中访问帮助文档?

GoodPlayer----》设置-----》右上角按钮-----》在线帮助

注意需要互联网连接才能访问在线帮助。

18有些文件GoodPlayer无法播放,有些文件GoodPlayer无法流畅播放,怎么办?

除了AVI/MKV这些文件容器信息之外,我们还需要详细的媒体信息(比如视频格式,音频格式,比特率等等)来判断问题出在何处。请用免费的桌面软件MediaInfo ( https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo)获取这些详细的媒体信息,然后发送给我们,谢谢。

有些我们需要有问题的文件来精确定位问题,文件较小时请直接Email发送给我们,文件较大时,您可以把文件上传到一些文件共享站点,然后我们去下载。谢谢对GoodPlayer的支持。

19如何在GoodPlayer应用程序中把文件从一个文件夹移到另一个文件夹?

19.1 点击左下角的文件管理器图标,进入文件管理器模式
19.2 点击左下角的新文件夹图标,创建新的文件夹
19.3 点击“编辑”按钮
19.4 使用文件右侧的圆圈选择一个或者多个文件
19.5 然后点击下方任务栏上的"剪切"图标
19.6 浏览到目标文件夹
19.7 点击下方任务栏上的"粘贴"图标, 此时文件就被移动到了新的文件夹
19.8 回到Documents文件夹,然后点击 "GoodPlayer"按钮,回到媒体文件列表

20如何查看GoodPlayer的版本号?

GoodPlayer ---> 设置 ---> 点击右上角按钮 --->点击 “Email反馈” , GoodPlayer版本号在Email的主题中

21GoodPlayer播放器如何支持
srt/idx/sub字幕的显示?

在HTTP/SMB等流媒体播放时,GoodPlayer应用程序会自动检查2个文件夹,根据文件名匹配字幕文件:应用程序的根文件夹(此文件夹是iTunes文件共享与Wi-Fi文件共享的缺省文件夹),以及应用程序的Download文件夹(此文件夹是GoodPlayer下载管理器的缺省文件夹)。
请先把所要用到的字幕文件下载或上传到上述的2个文件夹,如果视频文件的文件名是 filename.avi , 那么字幕文件的文件名应该是类似于 "filename.en.srt" 、 "filename.fr.srt" 。

1. 把srt/idx/sub文件与视频文件上传到GoodPlayer的同一文件夹,但是用不一样 的文件后缀 (本地播放时,字幕文件可以与媒体文件处于同一个文件夹;网络播放时,字幕文件必须位于根文件夹或者Download文件夹)
2. 如果视频文件的文件名是 filename.avi , 那么字幕文件的文件名应该是类似于 "filename.en.srt" 、 "filename.fr.srt" (或者 "filename.en.smi","filename.fr.smi"), 然后去播放视频文件,字幕就会显示出来
3. idx/sub字幕文件的文件名应该与视频文件的文件名一样,比如"filename.idx","filename.sub"
4 . 字幕可以显示后,GoodPlayer --->设置--->"字幕设置 "处可以设置字幕的编码、字体、颜色等等

22GoodPlayer中如何选择字幕编码?

GoodPlayer ---> 设置 ---> 字幕设置 -->编码格式, 在这里请按照下面的对应表格选择正确的编码格式。

23GoodPlayer对 HD视频的支持如何?

For best GoodPlayer performance, please check these settings
(sometimes, a reboot of iDevice will help):
1 Multi Core Decoding to "On"
2 High Quality Mode to "Off"
3 Deinterlacing to "Off"

请注意,由于CPU软件解码的瓶颈限制,新iPad(iPad 3)的性能与iPad 2几乎完全一样

关于HD (High Definition,高清) 播放支持:
iPad 2/3, 部分支持720P(1280x720) MKV/H.264/AVC播放,请注意并不能支持所有的720P(1280x720) MKV/H.264/AVC文件的流畅播放,具体要取决于视频的编码参数
iPad 2/3, 支持1280x720 RealVideo (RM/RMVB) 播放
iPad 1, 支持大部分720P(1280x720) AVI/MPEG-4播放,请注意并不能支持所有的720P(1280x720) AVI/MPEG-4文件的流畅播放,具体要取决于视频的编码参数
对于MP4,M4V和MOV等少数几种文件格式, 可以通过打开iPod插件(GoodPlayer-->设置-->插件设置-->iPod, 选中"iPod"), 从而iOS设备内置的硬件加速可以播放1080P (1920x1080)的MP4,M4V和MOV文件

24如何设置文件夹密码保护?

在GoodPlayer的文件管理器中,可以对普通的子目录设置密码保护;如果需要对GoodPlayer最上层的根目录设置密码保护,需要到GoodPlayer的“设置”的最下方,“主目录锁定”设置主目录的密码,或者用“主目录解锁”消除主目录的密码保护。

25忘记密码时,如何清除密码?

忘记密码时,需要把iOS设备连接到iTunes,通过iTunes文件共享找到GoodPlayer,然后选择“_Configure_”文件夹并删除,“_Configure_”文件夹被删除后,所有的GoodPlayer密码会被清除。

26如何在不同文件夹中移动文件
?
a. 打开GoodPlayer文件管理器
b. 切换到编辑模式
c. 在源文件夹中选择文件,然后用下方任务条上的“剪切”按钮剪切
d. 转到目标文件夹
e. 用下方任务条上的的“粘贴”按钮粘贴
27WiFi文件共享的FTP文件传输时,文件名看起来是乱码,如何解决?

对于文件名或者文件夹名中含有非ASCII字符的情况,FTP客户端要求使用UTF-8编码来对文件名以及文件夹名进行编码。以FileZilla程序(一个著名的免费FTP客户端,https://filezilla-project.org/)为例说明UTF-8的设置如下,"FileZilla"-->"文件"-->"站点管理器"-->"新站点", 在这里根据GoodPlayer页面信息输入对应的参数-->"字符集"--> 选中 "强制 UTF-8" -->"连接"
28阻止iTunes同步时文件备份的选项为什么没有效果?

在第一次关闭iTunes Sync选项时,最好关闭一次台式机的iTunes,重启iTunes后与iOS设备连接,然后再进行iOS设备与iTunes的同步

system orientation lock is used, GoodPlayer could not rotate the
video. Check the upper right corner of your iPhone/iPad for a lock
icon.

34Why do my .mts/.m2ts files not play back smoothly in GoodPlayer?

Please make sure your mts file is not over 1280x720, for iPad 2, 1280x720 is
the limitation to support.

Only part of 1280x720 mkv/mts/m2ts files can be played back smoothly on iPad 2.
It depends on the mkv video encoding settings. Some 1280x720 mkv/mts/m2ts files
could not be played back smoothly on GoodPlayer with ipad 2.


Besides the AVI/MKV file container information, we need more detailed
media file information (such as video format/audio format/bit rate)to
tell what is the issue. Please use free desktop application MediaInfo
( https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) to get the detailed media
information and send it to us.Thanks.

35Does GoodPlayer supports the AirPort Disk?

GoodPlayer supports the AirPort Disk.
1. AirPort Disk is actually a SMB server
2. Find the IP address of the AirPort Extreme, it is the IP address of the AirPort Disk SMB server
3. Add the SMB server to the GoodPlayer SMB server list, then the AirPort Disk can be accessed from GoodPlayer directly.

36Why is there only audio for GoodPlayer AirPlay? Is there AirPlay Mirroring support?

This is because of the iOS sysmtem API limitation.

Please use AirPlay Mirroring instead if possible.

41I have files that could not be played back on iPad 2/new iPad(iPad 3)/iPhone 4S, please help

If you have some files that are with issues for GoodPlayer playback on iPad 2/new iPad (iPad 3)/iPhone 4S, please try to set GoodPlayer->Settings->Multi Core Decoding to "off", and play the issued files again.
For iPad 2/new iPad (iPad 3)/iPhone 4S and future multi core iOS devices, there is an option to disable multi core decoding. GoodPlayer->Settings->Multi Core Decoding. The default is on. When it is on, some video decoding will use multi core concurrently to improve the performance greatly. When it is off, all the decoding only uses single core to get more stability. Please note that it is recommended to set it to on. Only for those media files that have issue with multi core decoding, set it to off.

42On iOS 5, how to use the "Open in" feature?


There are some changes in iOS 5. In iOS 5, you need to "long press" the attachment to get the "Open in" menu.

Here an alternative way we found to open mail attachment. The attachment sometimes never gets an "Open in" menu in iPad 2 with iOS 5.

1. Send the file as attachment to Gmail mail box
2. Use the GoodPlayer built-in browser to access the Gmail (https://mail.google.com/) , then download the attachment , play it at last.

43Sometimes the downloaded/uploaded files disappeared?

For GoodPlayer 4.0 and iOS 5.0.1+, now the files will remain on device, even in low storage situations. Upgrade to iOS 5.0.1+ is recommended.

Please change Settings->File Manager-> iTunes Sync to "on".

For iTunes/iCloud Sync, we have already given an option to the end users in
the GoodPlayer settings. GoodPlayer->Settings->File Manager->iTunes
Sync, the default is "off" from 3.2 version, when this setting is
"on", the media files uploaded to GoodPlayer will sync with iTunes.
When this setting is "off", the media files in the GoodPlayer will not
sync with iTunes. For the iOS 5, when the setting is "on", the
media files in GoodPlayer will sync with iCloud, when the setting is
"off", the media files in GoodPlayer will not sync with iCloud.
From GoodPlayer 2.3, the option was added to disable iTunes Sync file
backup, this can save a lot of time and disk space when the iOS device
sync with the iTunes.
Please Note: for the first time the iTunes Sync is turned off, the
most safe testing way is to exit the desktop iTunes , and restart the
desktop iTunes , then sync the iOS device with iTunes. It was found
sometimes the iTunes Sync setting does not work immediately, maybe it
has something to do with the cache.

44How to check the subtitle encoding? And how to change the subtitle encoding to UTF-8?

Check the subtitle encoding steps:
1. Open the original subtitle file on desktop PC with Firefox browser
2. In Firefox->View->Character Encoding, to change the encoding one by
one , find the correct encoding method for the subtitle file


Please check these links for "Converting files to UTF-8"

https://www.herongyang.com/Unicode/Notepad-Save-File-in-UTF-8.html
45Why are some WMV files without video?

Please note GoodPlayer does not support MSS2 video codec.

Please use free desktop application MediaInfo ( https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) to get the detailed video codec information and send it to us.Thanks.

46Does GoodPlayer support YouTube video download?

No. Because of the YouTube TOS (Term of service), GoodPlayer can not support download video from YouTube.

47Does GoodPlayer support Axis password protected RTSP streaming?

No.GoodPlayer cannot support Axis password protected RTSP streaming. Please remove the password protection then check it anonymously.

And if the audio is needed for Axis RTSP streaming, please use the following format.

48How about the DVD .iso support in GoodPlayer?

GoodPlayer DVD .iso support details:

There is no DVD menu support in GoodPlayer.

a. For local iso playback:
DVD .iso support improved.
DVD title supported, now by default GoodPlayer will only play the
"Title 1" of a DVD .iso. For other titles playback, during the DVD
.iso playback, in the bottom right of playback control, click Info
button, click "Title".
DVD chapter supported, during the DVD .iso playback, in the bottom
right of playback control, click Info button, click "Chapter".
DVD .iso audio tracks selection improved

b. For network iso streaming:
Please use the following GoodPlayer feature to select audio tracks:

✔ Swipe fingers up/down on playing, to change the subtitle or turn off
subtitle on the fly (for media files with subtitles)
✔ Swipe fingers left/right on playing, to change the audio track on
the fly (for media files with multiple audio tracks)

Please note the DVD .iso title and chapter support is only for local
.iso files, not for .iso streaming playback. For DVD .iso streaming
playback, please still use swiping left/right or up/down to change
audio tracks and subtitle tracks
49For the media playback, why is there no audio?

GoodPlayer removed 3 audio supports(AC-3(A52), E-AC-3 and TrueHD(MLP)
) from 5.8 version. DTS audio support was removed from GoodPlayer 6.2 version. They are due to patent reasons.
So far, we get no progress on this patent issue.

Please use free desktop application MediaInfo
(https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo) to get the detailed audio and
video codec information.

Only 5.7 or older version supports AC-3. You need back up the older
version in iTunes for getting back to older version. Or else there is
no way to go back to older version.

50如何设置NFS服务器,才能使得GoodPlayer NFS客户端可以访问它?

请注意:NFS服务器端设置必须允许普通(非root)用户连接到NFS共享文件夹!!!
到目前为止,我们只测试了OS X的NFS服务器。
OS X上的NFS服务器设置:编辑 "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist"文件,在其启动选项中加入“-N”参数如下:
<array>
<string>/sbin/nfsd</string>
<string>-N</string>
</array>

或者也可以查看这个网页: https://kodi.wiki/?title=NFS

English reference


Please note that NFS server side must allow regular (non-root) users to connect to your NFS shared folders!!!
So far, we only tested NFS client with OS X NFS server.
NFS server setting for OS X: edit the "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.nfsd.plist" file. Open it and add the option "-N" to the startup parameters as follows:
<array>
<string>/sbin/nfsd</string>
<string>-N</string>
</array>

Or please check this website: https://kodi.wiki/?title=NFS

51In the GoodPlayer SMB/CIFS client, the downloading is okay, however the SMB streaming does not work?

It looks that this issue is caused by the SMB workgroup information most likely.

Please check SMB workgroup information carefully.
