Any good xine-based media players?

Seeing as totem-xine drags in gnome deps, XFMedia is for XFCE, GQoob is dead, and gxine has a plugin that probably conflicts with xine-plugin... Are there any other Xine GUIs for GTK? Ones using pyxine, perhaps? I can't find any good/alive ones on Gnomefiles.org, but there have to be some, somewhere...

There seems to be no feature rich GUI for either mplayer or xine on gnome. I am looking for options which help in syncing subtitles(I believe it is a crucial feature). Both Smplayer and Kaffeine have them. It is a pity that many gnome apps have excellent user interfaces, but are not feature rich and kde has some apps with an amazing feature set but poor interface design. Many kde apps are impossible to use at 800x600 and I am currently not in a position to upgrade my display. Anyways, you can check http://xinehq.de/index.php/releases for some frontends but I have a feeling that the webpage is outdated.

Java-based media players no longer have working buttons.

When I visit a website using java-based media players embedded on the page, autoplay will work just fine, but play/pause, volume control, etc. will not click. I already had Firefox updated to 10.0.2 days before this problem cropped up. With the exact same plugins, the same websites are viewable and buttons are clickable in Chrome and IE.
To resolve the issue, I uninstalled, reinstalled, and updated Firefox, Java, Flash and Shockwave. I tried disabling addons, all with no change. All plugins are up to date, as are all active addons.

IMovie won't play in any of my default media players on my PC including Quicktime. Solutions?

I wanted to upload this movie to youtube and I tried multiple times to do so from my iPod Touch. After many failed attempts I sent the movie to iTunes so that i could just upload the movie myself from my PC. But the movie will not play on any of my media players including Quicktime.

+Could this be related to the brand of DVD's I'm using or the encoding that older DVD players are not able to read?+
Yes and yes. If it plays in your Mac, it should play in a DVD player. Use DVD-R, not any other format. Verbatim works flawlessly for me.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility. You can set burn speed in iDVD '08 if not creating a disc image.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his iDVD 6 book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."
iMovie '08 & iDVD: The Missing Manual.
I buy Verbatim white inkjet printable in stacks of 50. Verbatim's part number: 94971. They have been flawless for me.

Not sure I understood what you meant with 'local radio feed'...
I use mpc and mpd to listen to web radios.
If you install mpc, you will find 2 script files :
/usr/share/doc/mpc/mpd-m3u-handler.sh
/usr/share/doc/mpc/mpd-pls-handler.sh
Running them against a m3u or pls file downloaded from a web radio does the trick.

i am looking for a media player that is able to play HD content as I am not so pleased with the low bit-rate of DVD's and cant burn blu-ray yet.
i don't want to compromise the high quality that i've worked so hard to achieve when i compress to dvd...
any experience with the various media players that are in the market ? last time i've checked "tvix" can play h264 content but cant play uncompressed...
suggestions ?
Nir

besides a mac ? any experience with the tvix players ?

After downloading iTunes all media players have choppy playback

I got a new computer and my CD and DVD playback was great until I downloaded iTunes. Now all my CDs and DVDs play back choppy/stuttering/etc. on any media players that came with my computer and iTunes. I know it is a software issue, but I don't know much else.
Can anyone help me please??

Just an off the cuff suggestion: Have you run your Windows updater since you got your computer? Do you have all the most recent available drivers for your computer's components? You should be able to check your computer mfg's website to verify this.
Good luck! (And be patient, I'm sure others will chime in with other suggestions as well!)

FCP 10.1 Import Tape based media Issue

When I import tape based media in FCP X 10.1 the 'capture' window weirdly flickers between what appears to be the 1st frame on the tape and the one currently being injested. The media does seem to import correctly, and I'm able to skim the clip once it's finished with import, but I'm nervous to start editing with it in case there is some issue with the way it's being injested.
Thanks for any help.
Steve Pustay

Hey Steve,
I'm having the exact same problem. For those who can help but need some additional info: I'm capturing from a Sony HVR -M25U HDV deck via Firewire 800 onto a MAC Pro tower running Mavericks.
also
from a DSR-40 DVcam deck via Firewire 800 onto an IMac also running Mavericks
I've been doing this seamlessly for a few years till 10.1
Additionally, now my "j" and "l" keys are not communicating with either deck. Again this is since the upgrade.
Anyone with ideas on how to solve this one?
Sorry I couldn't help you Steve. Maybe this extra detail will get us some help.
Good Luck

Any Good suggestions on docking station for tmt2

I just ordered my hp tm2t and waiting for delievery. In the meantime, I wonder if there is any good docking stations that comes with a stand and even audio speakers. I notice HP has a docking bundel that has everything that I want, but based on wt i read so far, it sucks, so it would be nice if anyone knows of a good alternative docking station. THanks

If you are still looking for an answer, there are tools to help you do exactly what you are trying to do. I had to solve this same issue last week trying to add both Apple Lossless and FLAC to my WMP library on a Win 7 x64. It should work on 32 bit version too. For me, converting to a lossy format such as MP3 or AAC was not desirable as their audio quality is too low for a high end home audio system. I have a second lossy library to use on my iPhone with earbuds.
So far with only a week's experience to draw from this is working well. It is a two part solution:
Add a DirectShow component that supports the media playback you want. For Apple Lossless the open source one I found was DC Bass: http://www.dsp-worx.de/?n=15 I had to also install madFlac 1.10 which you should not need to do if you only have Apple Lossless. If you have any FLAC, you will need to add this: http://madshi.net/madFlac.rar
Install WMP Tag Plus which works as a WMP plug in. It allows WMP to read the file tags to treat your files as music rather than "other media"; also supports reading other tag data (song name, genre, etc) on the files
Step one will let you play your music while step 2 will help you organize the WMP library. I have not tried to update tags from WMP yet, so I am not sure if that works. I use Tag&Rename to update metadata in tags.
I hope that helps.

[SOLVED] Media players licenses

I noticed some issues about software patents in general (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPlayer#Legal_issues and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLC_media_player#Legality) concerning media players.
Can you suggest me a way to avoid those issues? Are gstreamer-based players free from those troubles?
Thank you

Gusar wrote:My honest advice would be: Ignore those issues.
Agreed.
I'll give an example of why ignoring this is helpful. I bought an internal Blu-Ray drive mainly so that I could get larger physical copies of my data, but I thought that it would be cool to check out a few movies. I got a gift card for my birthday and picked up a couple of movies from a local retailer. I couldn't play either. What? I legally paid for the hardware and I legally paid for the movies at full price from the retailters that I used. I did exactly what a Windows or Mac user would do, and yet I can't use my purchases for watching legal content?
It turns out that if the designer of any player doesn't get charged as well, that things aren't going to work out for honest people using that player some times. So, when you legally buy a movie, expect that it will only teach you about all of the other licensing fees that were assumed that someone would pay. Do you ever wonder how the film industry in America had gotten so powerful that when the end user is still doing the right thing that penalties would still incur?
*** The American patent system is severely broken. If one needs any proof, understand that almost the entire human G-Nome is patented. Someone needs a gene sequence to cure a disease? It could cost them in the order of millions of dollars. These laws will need be broken at the grass root level. ***

MSI DR16-B DVD-RW Drive, any good?

Hi Commander Sinclair
Babylon 5 is the greatest sci-fi show ever! "Sooner or later, everyone comes to Babylon 5."
Have a look to this site for more detailed info and hints about a DVD writer (http://www.anandtech.com/printarticle.aspx?i=2260). As they say, "setting a booktype (bitsetting) is just the process of telling your burner to convert a DVD+R disc "virtually" into a DVD-ROM instead. This feature is important for some people who have older set-top DVD players that cannot recognize the "bit" that determines what type of DVD media is sitting in the drive". Many just don't care, but if movies are your first goal, well, maybe you'll find it an interesting option.
And yes, you're right: much better not to mess with firmwares. Anyway, don't worry too much: I can burn and play my favourite movies even with my not-so-up-to-date DRA-8.
Stay tuned.
Quote from: Bannik on 09-August-05, 01:21:19
Ah, a Babylon 5 fan, excellent, thanks for the post, i'm not interested in flashing the firmware and i don't know what this booktype thing is, all i want to do is burn DVD's but i guess with all the advancements in technology, it won't be as simple as that.
Thanks Ambassador G'Kar (i know it's not the name you're using) :D

Muted/Muffled audio on all Media Players after upgrade to iTunes 7.0.1.8

In the past few days I have upgraded my version of iTunes to 7.0.1.8. I am now noticing new audio playback issues I have not seen up until my upgrade.
When playing back a large majority of my library, the audio on an MP3 becomes muted/muffled at various points in the song. I thought my speakers were damaged, so I tried the same MP3 files in both Windows Media Player and Creative Media Player. I found that the other two media players had muting/muffling at the exact same points in the songs.
The interesting this is that this issue never occureed until I upgraded to the latest iTunes. In addition, the exact same MP3 files sound perfect when played on my Nano.
Did iTunes corrupt a DLL file on my PC? Since this problem started I have updated the drivers on my Creative Labs Audigy 2 Platinum Pro, have not seen any improvement.

Thank you for describing the problems so well. I also have been going nuts trying to restore my Itunes Library to its original (or acceptable) condition. I have a 5th gen 30G Video with about 4250 songs on it. After downloading 7 I found that every song in my Library had been dulplicated or triplicated. Then, a day latr, when I had downloaded album art, I discovered that every other song in any album I had downloaded (from Itunes or my own cd)prior to perhaps version 5 or version 6 could not be found. Luckily, I had an generation 4 Ipod with the original Library and I was able to download that to my external harddrive. I have spending pointless, arduous hours pointing Itunes to the correct file. Its faster to re-download the CD. Of course, I can't do that for any music I had bought from Itunes directly. Its weird because the name of the song is in Itunes, just the file can't be found. And why every other file? When I go into earlier (6 and before)Itunes Libraries, the music files are missing from them. Where did they go? When I try to sync my Ipod with Itunes, it takes forever because Itunes is searching for the missing files. I have tried to ask Apple support directly but I have gotten no response. Very, very frustrating! Any headway with your problems? Lisa

Asio Driver issue in Premiere Pro CC conflicting with all other media players on PC

Whenever I have Premiere or audition or After effects opened---- should I want to play a media clip on J River Media center, or Windows Media Player, the Asio driver is locked by the Adobe products, so the other media players do not have access to it. This may be a new windows 8.1 phenomenon, as i never had this before with 64 bit Windows 7.
I have had some success running the other media players on the lousey windows sound drivers, but they don't sound nearly as good as the Asio driver does, with its near zero latency.
My sound card is a Lynx aes 16, and the Win 8.1 PC pushes the digital audio out to my Berkely DAC , then to separate mono bloc amps, into Magnepan speakers as the reference audio system for my music and video editing....or for entertainment listening :-)
Does anyone have a solution that will force the Adobe CC software to release the Asio driver when I try to use J River Media center, or some other media player?

I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop.
I open Pro CC and had the Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... ) Error
Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
Now working with no problem.
Hope this helps.
