So I've been working on making Whirligig a viable none VR video player for a few reasons. My development is actually mostly using the NoneVR version as it's easier to work on than in VR, I enjoy watching movies and series using VLC but would like to be able to do things that it can't in that player and of cause it's just nice to keep improving Whirligig.
A request for a way to turn off the gaze option was sent to me as the user was using the desktop features and didn't want the mouse to be snatched away every so often. It seemed like a good idea to add so I have.
The way it works is under settings/input there are now three options to disable different control systems, disable VR controllers, disable gaze control and disable mouse control. you can't disable all options (to prevent being locked out) and if you try the mouse control will come back on. Let me know if you have any issues but hopefully this implementation should fix a couple of things.

So this is something I wanted to do for a while and because it wasn't too hard to implement and also didn't effect any other part of the player I've added it now.
Currently it only works with Media Foundation and WinRT video paths.
The implementation uses this plugin https://youtu.be/7A7ae-gYLUI so have a look and give it a try.
Other than all that I've continued to fixes bugs and optimise. If you come across any bugs please let me know phileday@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks for everyone's support.
All the best
