I've gotten a lot of value out of both kaffeine and smplayer in the past, among many others...<div><br></div><div>But vlc currently has the best blend of performance, configurability and features - to be honest my main issue with the GUI is simply the playlist handling (would be lovely to have it as a frame in the window) - and apart from this it's near-perfect ....</div> <div> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 18 July 2010 21:24, Jonathan Riddell <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jriddell@ubuntu.com">jriddell@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> <br> Hi<br> <br> We're currently looking at whether Kaffeine 1.0 is suitable for<br> inclusion in Kubuntu by default. I have a few issues and wonder if<br> you could comment.<br> <br> Firstly, it doesn't use Phonon. This means (at least with Pulseaudio<br> which most distros use now) that it doesn't follow the settings for<br> audio output, so it doesn't work with my USB headphones. Is there any<br> way to fix that? (It also means it will continue to use xine should<br> distros ever start to use another Phonon backend.)<br> <br> Videos don't currently show when they start playing, I have to switch<br> to the playlist tab and back to the playback tab.<br> <br> Finally, my pet dislike, a pointless systray icon, we can turn it off<br> with a config option I hope but I'd like to hear the justification.<br> It's also using the old KSystemTrayIcon class I see, that probably<br> means Aurelien Gateau will be taking an axe to it to replace it with<br> KStatusNotifierItem at some point.<br> <font color="#888888"><br> Jonathan<br> </font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br> --<br> kubuntu-devel mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-devel</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
