Last but hardly least is I’m still badgering the developers to add slow motion to the next version but JRiver probably has the best zoom control of any Windows player-like my Pioneer LX500 BD player, where once you select the desired mag there are up, down and sideways remote buttons so you can center the desired part of the zoomed image on the screen. And this player may also have slow motion and zoom. Ditto for zoom, which I think VLC player has also. I’m not sure we’re talking about the same kind of media players but if you want a Windows player that does slow motion superbly I’d suggest What’s also cool about VCL’s zoom is that as it’s playing, say a TV episode from a DVD, you’ll hear at least part of the audio, at reduced speed, of course.

We’ve seen that same Waveshare display used in a similar player before, and while some will no doubt object to the muted color rendering, we think it could work well with a lot of movies. The result is an estimated full year of battery life for the display. Power management, however, can be an issue, but leveraged the low-power co-processor on an ESP32 to handle the refresh tasks. Of course there is the problem of the long refresh time of the display, which can be more than 30 seconds, but with a frame rate of one every two hours, that’s not a huge problem. But from what we can see, the display does a pretty good job at rendering frames from films like Spirited Away and The Matrix. OK, full color might be pushing it a bit the build centers around a 5.65″ seven-color EPD module. That’s where this full-color ultra-slow motion movie player by shines. Given that most of them use monochrome e-paper displays, they’re especially suited for old black-and-white films, which somehow makes them even more classy and artsy.īut not every film works on a monochrome display. We love them - displaying one frame for a couple of hours to perhaps a full day is like an ever-changing, slowly morphing work of art.

One of the more recent trendy builds we’ve seen is the slow-motion movie player.
