Noatun remains the undefeated champion...
by Mystilleef on Friday 13/Jun/2003, @04:37

I tried Juk today, but my experience with it wasn't potent enough to warrant a change from Noatun. I've never really been a mouse and click person, so perhaps Juk isn't for me to begin with. I've grown accustomed Noatun's 'global' keyboard combinations, skins and inumerable plugins(hayes playlist inclusive). Juk is great, but Noatun is better. And Xmms is just old.

But for Noatun and aRts control, kde multimedia is an embarrasment, an abomination and an abberations. I hope exciting changes are been made to Noatun for KDE-3.2 because I don't yet find Juk as worthy replacement. I also hope (K)mplayer becomes KDE's default media player. It will be interesting to integrate Noatun, Kscd and K(m)player into a single application.

Otherwise, kde multimedia is just a joke. Are there any exciting features we can look forward to in KDE-3.2, with regards to kde multimedia? A thumbs up to both the Noatun and Juk team. To the kde multimedia team; we support you but we are yet to see the best from you guys.

Regards,

Mystilleef

Note kmplayer is no mm framework like arts, just a frontend for mplayer/xine/ffmpeg for people how know what they are doing (and have broadband internet). Its main focus is playing inside konqueror/khtml. So I don't expect kmplayer becoming the default media player ever.

I very much like Kplayer. Like Kmplayer it is a frontend to mplayer, but its interface rocks! Even though it is only at version 0.2, it is very stable already and has a great GUI, check it out: http://kplayer.sourceforge.net. There is no playlist support yet, but for films it's just great!

You know something? I just tried this (umm, over nine months later. LOL.)

Kplayer is at version 0.5 now (from CVS) and I like it. It compiled fine and worked quite well, once I upgraded GNU automake as it required.

I guess I'll have to try Kmplayer too, at some point.

Maybe it doesn't make much sense to reply after this long a time, but on the other paw, let's hear it for archives :O)
