I have an even better solution: xine with a xine front end... Everything
else comes from livna and dag yum repositories (ffmpeg, dvd...,
libfoo...).
"Better solution"?
Short term yes. But long term no.
Trust me, have a look at the gstreamer architecture. I'm a Xine fan, i
use it all the time, i tell other people to use it and i contributed a
little to the project, and yes, currently seems to be the overall best
player. But gstreamer is so much more than just a media player. It's
like Xine + Enix (remember Enix? the now-dead twin of xine that was
aiming to provide an encoding platform) plus a lot more. It's still in a
pretty early stage, while Xine is a mature project, therefore it's
normal that Xine is currently better for end-users.
And by the way, the totem interface is as ugly as sin. (Just had to
get
that out of my system)
Well, both xine and gstreamer allow you to use any arbitrary interface
you like. You can even write your own. ;-)
