DesktopMeMer

DesktopMeMer is a Windows desktop application that allows you to open and view Wacky WebM files in scalable, resizable windows. It offers unique features such as directional audio, where the sound changes based on the window's position on your screen, and configurable options for playback and window behavior. You can easily configure the app with a config.json file, or use .zip and .dsmm files that bundle both WebM content and specific settings.

Features

• Open WebM files by dragging and dropping them onto the app's executable.
• Directional sound: Audio is dynamically adjusted based on where the window is located on your screen.
• Customizable configuration: Adjust settings such as window size, volume, and audio behavior via a config.json file.
• Support for .zip and .dsmm files: Package WebM videos with their associated configuration into a single file.

Building

To build DesktopMeMer from source, follow the steps below:

Prerequisites

• Windows environment (requires .bat scripts).
• Development environment with git installed.

Steps to Build

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Soleil-des-chats/DesktopMeMer.git
   cd DesktopMeMer

2. Run the Setup Project: This script will set up dependencies and prepare your build environment.

   SetupProject.bat

3. Build the project: After setting up, build the application using:

   BuildProject.bat

   Note: The config.json file is bundled inside the app during the build process, so it cannot be easily modified post-build. If you need to make changes, modify the config.json before building.

Usage

To launch DesktopMeMer, simply drag and drop a WebM file onto the app's executable (DskMeM.exe). The app will open the WebM in a window.

Controls

• Resize the window: You can drag the corners of the window to scale the WebM display.
• Directional Sound: If enabled in the configuration, the sound will adjust dynamically depending on the window's position on your screen.
• Volume: Adjust the volume based on your system settings or modify the config.json to set it by default.

Configuration

The app uses a config.json file to configure settings such as the window size, volume, and audio behavior. Here's an example configuration:

Example config.json

{
  "directionalSound": false,
  "volume": 1,
  "sizeRatio": 0.75
}

Configuration Options:

• directionalSound: A boolean that enables or disables directional audio. When enabled, the sound adjusts based on where the window is positioned on your screen, creating a spatial audio effect.
• volume: The volume of the WebM playback. The value can range from 0 (muted) to 1 (maximum volume).
• sizeRatio: The default size ratio of the WebM window relative to the screen. For example, 0.75 would make the window 75% of the screen's width and height.

Config in .dsmm and .zip Files

• .dsmm and .zip files can contain their own config.json file, which allows you to override the default settings for specific WebM files.
• When you drop a .dsmm or .zip file on the app, the configuration within that file will be applied automatically.
