devries Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 What discusiion? Mplayer is the best :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 i voted other because i use xine AND totem mostly and sometimes vlc. it depends on the situation. totem is enough for watching films but xine is imho sometimes better for certain films (=better visual quality. don't ask me why...)

Lärs Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 (edited) I think it's all about what you're looking for. I use MPlayer mostly because I work in pure CLI a lot. However when I'm in X I use Xine. I voted MPlayer due to the tremendous amount of features it has. Edited July 24, 2005 by Lärs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 I also use xine, either plain or via a frontend (kaffeine, kmplayer, amarok). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Well xine has problems with certain subtitles, the only player that can play everything flawlessly for me is vlc and the GUI looks great. Voted vlc! (dur) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 MPlayer rocks, but lately I've been using VLC. It's an exciting approach to media players (if you look at it's streaming capabilities) and, like MPlayer, plays everything. Although I find VLC's GUI to be a lot more stable than MPlayers (although MPlayer is nicer to look at). No, I haven't messed around with skins. No time. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeral Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 how does one make real player the default player in mandriva 2005 LE and also, how do I play the windows media format videos on the net in mandriva? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowe Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 I think there is a mplayer plugin that does that. Search around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steppenwolf1984 Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Kaffeine, without a doubt....(meaning a xine frontend, but not ANY ole xine front end, oh no no....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 kaffeine has surely advanced more than totem (both xine frontends- the former for KDE, the latter for Gnome), but mplayer is just fine as well, and the same goes for vlc (it never worked well for me when coming to .asf videos, and it cannot playback SVCD content yet), as well as MPD (superb solution for audio, but can't handle video at all).

Lowe Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) I don't use vlc anymore either, switched to kaffeine since it plays more formats than vlc and I just like it's "feel". Subtitles still suck, but xine always had messed up subtitles i could probably live with it. Unless someone knows a way to make them not suck. link removed by mystified - violation of Posting Guideline 2.2 This only happens with softsubs(I think that's whats it called anyway) and sadly all the softsubs I have are hentais so look at the screenshot at your own risk. It might not look like much but I cant seem to find how to change it, I want the subtitles more spread out and I want a nicer looking font I can't find the option in kaffeine and I tried changing stuff in the ~/.xine but it has no effect.
