Whoever is enough of a fanatic to KILL people should be shot on sight. There also is an mplayer input plugin for XMMS. ease of use - You heard of WinAMP? => XMMS. Less than 12% CPU with trippy plugins, using MAD decoder (way better audio quality) and esoud-out.ĥ. If it doesn't have it then there's some plugin that makes it do.Ĥ.
Winamp mplayer software#
When I really want a software player, I use (g)mplayer.ģ. playing dvd's - I use my DVD player with my TV, works better. Posted: Fri 12:41 pm Post subject: Re: xine vs mplayerġ. Location: Socialist Sovietic Republic of Belgium Well, it uses the xine engine, which is really noticable only when I have some strange cd image movies to play. Now, I like to run Totem, as it feels 100% integrated in my gnome desktop.
Winamp mplayer plus#
Plus it didn't handle as many formats as mplayer did at the time (I think that's changed now though).īack when I loved the minimalistic WMs, I was a MPlayer addict. To be fair, I haven't used xine in almost a year but when I did use it, the UI was buggy, video was choppy, and audio would get out of sync with the video. features - mplayer (simplicity is a major feature to me) Posted: Fri 5:04 am Post subject: Re: xine vs mplayerģ. "Rarely is the questioned asked: Is our children learning?" George W. I like gxine alot, but kaffeine is pretty nice as well.

(Mainly because I was told it was better) If I have files on the computer I use mplayer. I use xine for all the web stuff, cos this one loads manually. it's simple, it's console and i lt's in portage
Winamp mplayer movie#
switching to another language when watching dvd without restarting the movie as necesary with mplayer.Ĭoncerning mp3: cplay is my favorite. I think mplayer is much more tollerant when playing messed up video files, but xine has some nice features as e.g. but i really have difficulties putting dxr3 to work with xine. I'm using mplayer but moving more and more towards xine.
Winamp mplayer how to#
xmms for musicĭoh ! please tell me how to enable deinterlacing in mplayer !Īnother vote for the xine / xmms combo xine's gui is ugly, but if you just use the nice right-click menu, it's fantastic with xine, vlc, and xmms, I can do anything. However, xine 0wns mplayer on the dvd audio. I'd be on gxine for dvd's, however mplayer spanks xine on video quality and deinterlacing. Xine gets screwy on me when I press "->" too quickly when advancing through a scene, but otherwise it's great. I have yet to get mplayer to support libdvdnav, so I can't control the movie's flow once it starts.Ħ. Both load almost instantly and play the movies at the correct speed.ĥ. xmms Why use a video player to play music? xmms is smaller, takes less memory, and has a better playlist.Ĥ. Yet i have to use mplayer when i got movies in iso, and bins. + i can easily switch to 5.1 while playing DVD's and the most importand thing that i like is that its got deinterlacing options ! its a blessing while playing dvd's ! + its got very easy menu structure and is very handly while playing DVD's also, it dosent crash very often on bad mpg streams. its fast, and very good on features.Įsp the latest rc is very fast to start. "You couldn't fool your grandmother on the foolingest day of your life if you had an electrified fooling machine" Both are in portage for your convenience.īut to answer your original question, I personally prefer MPlayer for all your criteria (except, of course, the mp3's). If you have been a Windows user, then the best SAT-style analogy I can think of is xmms -> winamp as Zinf -> MusicMatch Jukebox. Recently, however, I've started playing around with Zinf for my mp3's.

The exception is mp3, for which I've been steadily using xmms.

Maybe I have some kind of bias because of that, but now I use MPlayer for almost all media files. Or is their a better program for playing mp3's and DVD'sīack when I was a n00b using Mandrake/Red Hat, I had a ton of trouble even getting Xine to work properly.
