kmplayer (at least several generations of ~amd64, not sure about stable) |
| 10 |
now has the option of using xinelib, mplayer, or gstreamer. (You may have |
| 11 |
to recompile with the proper USE flags to get that option.) Here, I've |
| 12 |
has poor luck with mplayer, but xine has worked well. Haven't tried |
| 13 |
gstreamer. mplayer is just too hard to get the right plugins, it seems. |
| 14 |
xinelib "just works" a larger percentage of the time without fiddling with |
| 15 |
extra plugins. YMMV, but I read a similar post from someone else |
| 16 |
somewhere, and knew I was having issues with mplayer, and sure enough, |
| 17 |
xinelib worked far better for me. Perhaps mplayer could have been made to |
| 18 |
work, but I didn't have to "make" xinelib work at all, it just did, once |
| 19 |
merged (and with kmplayer remerged to use it). |
