What media player do you use?

antsunrise · 2014-06-14 02:19:25

MPV. Just works . Good quality codecs and nice .
Deadbeef. Just works and reminds me of foobar

I use vlc to play both music and video mostly because It was the default mediaplayer in crunchbang. Now I want to try out ncmpcpp for audio files.. just because I like the look of it..!!
I hope it taste as good as it looks

vlc for videos....banshee atm for tunes.

DNAngel · 2014-06-27 11:47:22

VLC for videos (naturally). As for music, i haven't found a lightweight and elegant music player with e-radio support - and maybe spotify integration.

Alad · 2014-06-27 12:02:27

Does e-radio have a .pls file? If yes, you can use mpg123.

I've started using Quod Libet for music playing - it manages all my music well enough, has a nice, simple interface, and some really good extensions.

MartinRF · 2014-06-28 08:27:30

Rythmbox has been the source of some grief for some time now so the information in this thread has been most welcome.

Based on the votes here I have tried mocp (good for stuff on HD) and Quodlibet. The latter is of interest as I do listen a lot to posdcasts. That works fine but most of the posdcasts are efemeral in nature (news, etc) so I want to purge them from the list once I have listened to them. I can't figure out how to do this in Quodlibet and (of less concern right now) I have not been able to figure out where Quodlibet keeps the audio files.

The Quodlibet manual doesn't help me much and I start to suspect I don't understand the use paradigm.

Any enlightenment is greatfully accepted.

Currently :

video /// mplayer2
audio /// moc
img viewer /// feh

twoion · 2014-06-28 17:25:44

Still the same old:

video: mplayer2 statically linked against true FFmpeg because of ongoing Debian libav madness.

audio: mpd + ncmpcpp + my custom DWM client

img viewer: sxiv

I have looked there and if it is there it is hiding from my prying eyes.

Vlc for video. Audacious for music (it only uses 6Mb RAM).

ah nice. never tried feh. i like. also sets background with it instead of having to use nitrogen. good work.

Ozitraveller · 2014-07-07 03:24:56

Wheezy vlc
sid smplayer (vlc currently busted)

Anaconda · 2014-07-07 07:01:42

I've been using VlC for video and Audacious for audio files for so long and across so many linux installations I lost count ages ago.
Just never found the need to use anything else.

primit1v3 · 2014-07-19 20:49:39

I use mplayer2 for video and alsaplayer for audio but after a daring upgrade to unstable, alsaplayer crashes when I hit play. I haven't done any troubleshooting yet.

tivasyk · 2014-07-21 13:14:30

jvc kd-x150ee mostly. sometimes youtube (hehe). and vlc if i really need to…

weareua · 2014-07-21 14:01:25

vlc-video and aqualung-audio. Aqualung not playing all of the popular music formats, so for that reason i have Amarok (Hello from Mandriva 2008).

I tried only feh image viewer regarding cli, really i am happy with his fast performance

jdonaghy · 2014-07-31 19:56:24

On Slitaz, I've begun to use Consonance. Pretty much a good time. Pretty much a time worth having.

Maynard · 2014-08-12 21:38:59

Vlc & Clementine

Can't believe I got all of these replies.

tonyoptical · 2014-09-15 20:03:37

Hi

Music - i rely on gmusicbrowser because it's the only player i've found which can handle my HUGE library.
For simple stuff - deadbeef
Video - umplayer

I hope you've read them all
I'm using mpd with mpc & ncmpc to control it

exidux · 2014-09-15 21:01:06

i usually stick to vlc as the end all be all player.
but i also like audacious (audio) but do not feel like having apt install the needed packages.

CrunchBang Linux
