[ubuntu-uk] Media players with video

[Simon Wears]

The only issue I've got with Ubuntu is the media player selection. I'm
trying to find a nice media player (preferably GTK, and very preferably not
mono) but I'm having a hard time - specifically because I'd like one that
supports video podcasts. I've tried a few, but I've not really been to
happy, including:


   - RythmBox - Great simple music player, but I can't get video podcasts,
   which is the major letdown.



   - Banshee - I liked this because it wwas very similar to Rythmbox, but I
   can get video podcasts. I however had a few bugs using it, such as when I
   clicked 'Skip track' on the notification box for Now Playing, it opened my
   dropbox, and I never understood why. Also, after a few episodes, podcasts
   stop downloading / being readable, by which I mean they either failed to
   download, or they downloaded, and Banshee decided they were corrupted. After
   deleting and retrying, it still happaned.



   - Amarok  - Amarok 1.4 is my favourite media player, but no video
   support. Amarok 2, although it has video support, was a big let-down for me,
   and I really don't like the new interface. Also, after subscribing to a
   podcast in it, it didn't seem to want to download anything reguardless of
   what I did.

I'm sure there's one out there, but I can't find it. Anyone know of one that
may make me happy?

Cheers,
