Hi all,
I have just upgraded to Dapper. I observed that most of the non-Free media formats can be played
using three media players, rhythmbox, totem (totem-gstreamer) and gxine by installing few additional
packages.
Following are the packages I needed to install.
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly,
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, gstreamer0.10-pitfdll, w32codecs,
libxine-main1, libxine-extracodecs, gxine
I tested following types of media
mp3, avi, wmv, mp4, m4v, mov, rm
In my opinion this pretty much covers the formats that an average user will ever will play. So we
need to restructure Restricted Formats wiki page accordingly.
Also IMHO, gxine has a pretty simple interface compared to xine-ui. So better recommend it instead
of xine-ui.
Please let me know your opinions.
