[Suggestion] Extend MPC's zoom and moving factors

Hi there,

first off, thanks for giving us the greatest player ever!

The features I use most are rotation, moving and zoom ("increasing/decreasing size"). However, moving is limited to 0.000 - 1.000 (0.500 being the default) and zooming to 3.000 as can be seen in the status bar. Is that a restriction that cannot be exceeded? I know that VLC has a (horrible) zoom function that allows for much deeper zooming. Would it be possible to extend this?

Your work is much appreciated. The "Donate" option in MPC's menu does not do anything, by the way.

Cheers

It might be possible. But do you really need it? What is the use case for such extreme movement and zoom?

If I didn't need it I wouldn't suggest it.
I have several videos shot with my HTC U11, which has such a great cam that even at fully zooming into the video the quality is still good. The more you zoom, the less panning of the video is possible of course. That's why it would be great to be able to extend both functions. Like zooming to 6.000 instead of 3.000 and panning/moving also doubled maybe.
I often shoot videos upside down or slightly rotated, that's why those features in MPC are really handy, I love them! There is no other player that handles dimension manipulation this easily. That's why I thought why not even extend it? Would it hurt anyone?

The maximum zoom has been increased to 5x.

Fantastic!
Would a higher panning/moving value also be possible? I'm sorry if I'm asking for too much.

It allows panning to the edges of 5x zoomed video.

You're the best.
Will it be part of the next K-Lite update or what's the way to get it? I was always wondering if MPC was only available through the K-Lite pack.

Yes, it will be in next update.

It works. First I thought the panning hadn't changed, but once you zoom deeper than 3.0 the addidtional panning is available.

Where can I donate to the project? I always wanted to do that but the Donate opton in MPC doesn't work and I can't find a Paypal donate button on the K-Lite homepage.

Donating is not possible right now, but maybe in near future.
