metal_dragen Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 I use xine with the gxine GTK2 frontend for all my video in Gnome/Xfce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Candyman Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I used to exclusively use mplayer, but xine was included with my slackware and I was too lazy to install mplayer, so I got used to xine and like it just as much...so either I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rezza Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 when i first started in linux, i started using xine, because it seemed the most "windows-like" and familiar media player... but when i started using gentoo, i decided to try mplayer instead just for a change, and i found it to be much more powerful and configurable. For example, in xine, if you're watching a video and the audio goes out of sync, can you adjust the audio delay on-the-fly to fix it? In xine, if the video has a bad/missing index, can you watch it and rebuild it at the same time? Can you extract audio tracks from a video easily with xine? mplayer can do all that stuff and loads more, like encoding files to different formats etc etc... I don't know, because i've not used xine for a while now, but i still think its just a basic player and nothing else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rezza Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 can someone tell me how to install mplayer.i installed the rpm but can't get it to work. what distro are you running? what RPM did you install? what happens if you go into a console and type "mplayer /path/to/random/video.avi"?

markwolfe Veteran Posted January 28, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 28, 2004 If you are using an RPM-based distro, you can do a: rpm -qa | grep mplayer To see if it installed. (It will even confrim the version for you, too) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syscrash2k Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I use mplayer for video files, and xine for dvds :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG-Cloud Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I use mplayer for both video files and dvds (mplayer-plugin roxs!). I broke my xine a while ago and have not yet had time to fix it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
