Because hardware decoding has many limitations while software decoding has not.
If there is no picture but sound, please switch the hardware decoding algorithm or just use software decoding. It's not recommended to run this tool in virtual machines, because the graphics card drivers of virtual machines are usually out-dated and even not completed. It would be very nice if you update your graphics card driver to the latest version. The CPU and memory usage will increase enormously if you are using software decoding and that's normal, all media players will, don't worry. 
To experience Hardware Accelerated Decoding better, make sure this tool runs with your high performance GPU(on Optimus). Make sure you have installed the latest DirectX. You have to enable Windows Aero first if you want to run this tool. Windows 2000 and even older systems will never be supported. Windows XP and Vista are not supported currently. It would be very nice if you are willing to follow the template provided by GitHub. If you find any issues or have any feature requests, please inform me through GitHub Issues. Screenshotsįor official builds and third-party packages please see. Mobile systems are not supported as well for the same reason. Linux and macOS will never be supported due to the limitation of the technique I used. Microsoft Windows 7 ~ 10, desktop editions, both 32 bit and 64 bit systems.Ĭan't run on systems without GUI desktop, for example, some editions of Windows Server. No ads, free of charge, open source, etc. Pure green: no need to install, no write to registry and no files left in your system. Support automatically run when the system starts. Hardware Accelerated Decoding support: CUDA, D3D11 and DXVA. Supports almost all kinds of media files. Multilingual support( translators needed). So if there is anything wrong in English translation, please inform me through GitHub Issues. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the translated texts. I use Google Translate to translate Chinese into English. My native language is Chinese and I'm not good at English. Suggestions and pull requests are both welcome. However, if you really need it, you can fork this repository and do it yourself. 
Although this tool has the ability to show executables and web pages on your desktop, I don't want to add this kind of functions.
It doesn't have as many functions as Wallpaper Engine has, but that's indeed what I want. This tool will stay simple and will only play videos. I created this tool only to play my favorite animation clips on my desktop, so I will never make it just like Wallpaper Engine. Maybe Wallpaper Engine's principle is totally different with this tool. It may have some limitations because it's just a media player, putting it's window under your desktop icons. Only for Microsoft Windows 7 ~ 10(with GUI desktop). A small tool that can play videos on your desktop.
