The alternative is usually vlc or mplayer but we cannot include those - has a nicer firefox plugin Totem can use either gstreamer or libxine as a backend, here are the pros and cons I know totem-gstreamer - gstreamer is the one used in Ubuntu so the maintenance argument applies - gstreamer has integrated the codec wizard that downloads missing codecs when a certain media being played needs them - pidgin in xubuntu already depends on libgstreamer totem-xine - we keep the same functionality as with gxine only with a nicer GUI - has better DVD support than gstreamer well thought out and constructive comments welcome, regardless of their being for or against this change :) thanks Jani ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 15:45:16 +0200 From: Vincent <<a href="mailto:imnotb@gmail.com">imnotb@gmail.com</a>> Subject: Re: Considering Totem instead Gxine To: "Xubuntu Development Discussion" < <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:749ebd440709140645m74bdaf59of074842033e11b66@mail.gmail.com">749ebd440709140645m74bdaf59of074842033e11b66@mail.gmail.com </a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" On 14/09/2007, Jani Monoses <<a href="mailto:jani@ubuntu.com">jani@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have been thinking lately of switching over to Totem for the following > reasons besides the generic ones that were mentioned in the GNOME apps > thread. > > - it is friendlier than gxine > - we get another package co-maintained with Ubuntu lessening our bug > triage > - its dependencies are in already (although that was not a maneuver to > get here!) > - according to the threads here and the forum poll, gxine seems to be > one of the top apps that are being switched out from a default install. > The alternative is usually vlc or mplayer but we cannot include those > - has a nicer firefox plugin > > Totem can use either gstreamer or libxine as a backend, here are the > pros and cons I know > > totem-gstreamer > - gstreamer is the one used in Ubuntu so the maintenance argument > applies > - gstreamer has integrated the codec wizard that downloads missing > codecs when a certain media being played needs them > - pidgin in xubuntu already depends on libgstreamer > > totem-xine > - we keep the same functionality as with gxine only with a nicer GUI > - has better DVD support than gstreamer > > > well thought out and constructive comments welcome, regardless of their > being for or against this change :) Even if Totem would be found unsuitable, using an alternative for Gxine is a good idea in my opinion, I don't think *anyone* actually uses it... Anyway, I think if Gstreamer is already pulled in and also has the codecs installation dialog, it is the preferred choice. But then again, I never play DVD's, so I'm a bit biased and I don't know exactly what's wrong with playing DVD's with Gstreamer. The biggest objection I have against Totem is that it is labelled "Totem Movie Player" while it is actually also the default for music files, so it's actually a "Media Player", but well... thanks > Jani > > -- Vincent -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Because it includes support for everything, including formats that are patented and require royalties to be paid to distribute software to support them in some countries. ________________________________________________________ Robert McWilliam <a href="mailto:rmcw@allmail.net"> rmcw@allmail.net</a> <a href="http://www.ormiret.com">www.ormiret.com</a> Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most. ------------------------------ Message: 8 Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 12:54:41 -0400 From: Ghostvirus <<a href="mailto:theghostvirus@gmail.com">theghostvirus@gmail.com</a>> Subject: Re: Considering Totem instead Gxine To: "Xubuntu Development Discussion" <<a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com"> xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com</a>> Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:fba84300709140954l7f73938fyf850079d7bf35461@mail.gmail.com">fba84300709140954l7f73938fyf850079d7bf35461@mail.gmail.com</a>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On 9/14/07, Jani Monoses <<a href="mailto:jani@ubuntu.com">jani@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have been thinking lately of switching over to Totem for the following > reasons besides the generic ones that were mentioned in the GNOME apps > thread. > > - it is friendlier than gxine > - we get another package co-maintained with Ubuntu lessening our bug > triage > - its dependencies are in already (although that was not a maneuver to > get here!) > - according to the threads here and the forum poll, gxine seems to be > one of the top apps that are being switched out from a default install. > The alternative is usually vlc or mplayer but we cannot include those > - has a nicer firefox plugin > > Totem can use either gstreamer or libxine as a backend, here are the > pros and cons I know > > totem-gstreamer > - gstreamer is the one used in Ubuntu so the maintenance argument > applies > - gstreamer has integrated the codec wizard that downloads missing > codecs when a certain media being played needs them > - pidgin in xubuntu already depends on libgstreamer > > totem-xine > - we keep the same functionality as with gxine only with a nicer GUI > - has better DVD support than gstreamer > > > well thought out and constructive comments welcome, regardless of their > being for or against this change :) > > thanks > Jani > > > -- > xubuntu-devel mailing list > <a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com </a> > <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-devel</a> > I'm sorry, but trading one useless app for another useless one sounds pointless to me. How many people honestly use Totem for their regular video watching? I don't know anyone that uses it. Everyone inevitably installs VLC and/or MPlayer, especially if they're using Xfce. Obviously those can't be included by default, but why switch gxine out for Totem? I fail to see how Totem is better to use. It's hardly any more user-friendly than gxine. "It's already in Ubuntu" seems to be the only reasoning behind this... Just my $0.02. Ghostvirus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
