Hi, Today, the GStreamer team has released new versions of their GStreamer core and plugins. Also, Bastien Nocera has released a new version of Totem, which features a largely rewritten GStreamer backend, amongst others. There has been a news posting about this on gnomedesktop.org. We're convinced that the current combination of these is the best legally shippable playback application that has been created so far. It might not match mplayer yet, but it's pretty, stable, extensible [1], fits well with the rest of the GNOME desktop and, not unimportant, it will playback quite a few movies and webstreams by default already (Ogg/Theora, in particular). Also, it's actively developed and maintained by a large amount of developers (look at the GStreamer plugins contributor list, for example). How would you guys feel about including this in Fedora Core? It would add a missing piece to the desktop. We're also considering to propose Totem for inclusion in GNOME 2.10. Ronald [1] for some formats (e.g. divx, xvid and so on), you'll also want to install gst-ffmpeg. Latest pre-releases are available from http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/src/gst-ffmpeg/pre/. -- Ronald S. Bultje <rbultje@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
