Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I made a video player for the ZXpand plus a while ago https://sinclairzxworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2641

The time has now come for an updated version, working on both the ZXpand classic and the plus. This time only video, no fancy audio.
I've done the code and have a github repo ready, a proper release package with some select video files will be ready for you tomorrow.

This player can show several video files consecutively and loops infinitely, it's possible to skip to the next file. A little video jukebox.

EDIT:
Added the release package
Bugs squashed, now plays in EO, although slow

Excellent Adam look forward to seeing the final version.

Does this work with sx81p? All I get in the player window (the rectangle in centre of screen) is what looks like static

1. copy all files to the ZXpand_SD_Card directory
2. start sz81-win32\sz81p.exe
3. LOAD "MENU"
4. arrow to zvj60.p and press NEWLINE

I have not tested on sz81, so could not say. I could not get it working on EightyOne either, Zesarux works though. And real HW of course.

I did some quick calculations.
A single video file @20fps can be a bit longer than 54 minutes. Max 65536 frames.
A 2h video divided into chapters, would take about 211MiB. A LOT of video can live on a modern SD-card

With 30 minutes and some keypress logic mangement is possible to reproduce Dragon's Lair

But then again. Dragons Lair has been produced for the ZXpand already.
