Re: KDE memeber sites are not updated

Best would be to write a good KDE gui for mplayer, it is
the best video player out there (Although the developers are
a little difficult sometimes, they do not like gcc 2.96, ICEWM,
sawfish, KDE and users who don't RTFM)

Such writing should be easy with KDevelop, last but not least since it has won the Award. ;-)

or use aviplay - its C++/QT
and integrate a standard lib for mpeg2/dvd
and integrate "transcode" into artsbuilder objects..
and ...

(*dream*)

But aviplay only supports AVI/ASF/WMV(7)s... MPlayer also supports MPEG1/2s, WMV8 and playing directly from encrypted DVDs. And it is more optimized... And rumours say that they are also planning on support for RealVideo and QuickTime movies...

libs vs. apps
by Thorsten Schnebeck on Monday 22/Oct/2001, @08:04

Yes, there are quite some very nice universal players like xine, mplayer...

This is not about "assimilation" something into KDE.
This is about integration into KDE. We need a plugin-like player/arts-object/component also for integration in apps like kpresenter.

So maybe better go with a pool of libs than with one app (?)

Well, this being Open Source, we can have our cake and eat it too. We can just re-integrate any given codec as an aRts library, and then it should run (theoretically :-) in any app using KParts, including Konqi and KPresenter. Of course, (in KPresenter for example) doing things like making sure movies play at the right time in presentations, grabbing the first and last frame and using them for in and out effects, etc etc, would require special coding, but once that is done, you could swap out the backend for another fairly easily.

Ogle rocks for DVDs, it just rocks #1.
Aviplay for ASF/AVI.
GTV for MPEG.
RealPlayer for the crappy RMs.

That's all you need. :-)

You're right about that! I wonder how many times ARPi has had to get a new keyboard because the keys R, T, F and M are broken... :)

I have been thinking about making a KDE mplayer GUI for quite some time, but my C++ skills are just not there yet... I'm trying to learn though...

mplayer & kde
by fl on Monday 22/Oct/2001, @04:53

well you can have fullscreen in xv mode in kde / icewm and others
just use the sample config file and select the proper option (the file itself is well documented).

Otherwise, fullscreen works fine with -vo sdl

mplayer simply ROCKS! It's too bad the gui is gtk, cuz I didn't install those libs and I'm not planning to because gmplayer needs them.. I currently merged mplayer in my filetypes thingie and it's heaven! real player and quicktime support would make it even more powerfull then m$ mplayer, quicktime and realplayer in one!! (really curious about that rumour :P) and last but not least, it even works with arts thru sdl! Maybe it's possible to write a noatun plugin?
