Then just try out totem, it's a nice GNOME2 media player with plenty of
functionalities and neat stuff like movie thumbnails in nautilus etc.
Really good integration, and the good news is that it has the potential to
make it into the main distribution as it can also use gstreamer as a
backend (it uses xine-lib by default), which is completely modular, already
shipped in Red Hat Linux, and to which additional codecs can easily be
added (think mp3, ffmpeg...).
