Main changes
Better performances on Intel GPU for Windows
Video decoding performances have been improved on Intel GPU for Windows when using VLC backend. The optimization is automatically activated when player is running on Intel GPU. For example, on Intel NUC with Intel Core i7-6770HQ and integrated GPU Intel Iris Pro Graphics 580, GoPro VR Player 2.1 was not able to decode 4K@60fps smoothly, GPU global usage was about 20%. Now with GoPro VR Player 2.2, 4K@60fps runs smoothly and GPU usage is about 10% !
Video metadata and automatic choices
Some metadata can be read from video. Here are the fields read by the player :
Kolor Eyes 360 Video Player 2
Stereoscopy
Input Projection
Writing Tool
Initial yaw, pitch, roll
Frame size
Video framerate
The values in these fields are displayed in the software log only if the player finds them.
In the settings, you can set 'Auto' mode for input projection and input stereoscopy to automatically apply values found in metadata.
Be sure to use the last version of Autopano Video to have these metadata encoded in your video.
VLC custom mode
The custom mode allows to use VLC backend with your own parameters. For instance you can read YUV-420/422 8 and 10 bit. To allow this you will have to run the player in 'VLC custom' mode and set the parameters. See documentation for more details.
Color conversion
With VLC backend, player applies a better color conversion if the video has been encoded by Autopano Video.
Also with VLC backend, a new setting allows to disable our shader color conversion. It can be useful if you encounter color issues when playing video but be aware that it will be less efficient in terms of performance. See documentation for more details.
Others
You will find a new category called 'Audio' in the Settings. For now it only contains a setting to set an audio delay (for VLC backend only).
You can set yaw, pitch, roll and fov values directly in help box (keyboard shorcut 'H').
