Video GUI for mplayer

[slavvo67]

Looking for a lightweight, low dependency front-end to mplayer. Tried MPV from the PPM which seems ok with headphones but I can't get enough volume with regular speakers. Xerus and RUXerus have Xine as default which is fine but I want something lighter and easier to use as an alternative....

I'm just using GNOME mplayer 1.0.9 with the # patch (for videos and music). It's not perfect, but it works well enough for me and I never saw a huge reason to use anything else. I think it is light-weight enough, but I might be overlooking something. I'm guessing you've used it, since it's been in slacko forever. I would enjoy hearing a review of what you like and dislike about it.

PeasyMP3 can act as a basic front-end for mplayer video, although some people don't consider a GTKdialog app to be light-weight.

You would need to learn the mplayer keyboard controls.

Thank you for your Peasy applications. They are most helpful. I chose to put together a small bash script on the desktop to handle either playing a full directory, one item or creating a playlists. I call it MM-Play and if things go well, it will be in the next RUXerus64. Like your Peasy applications, it doesn't require installing additional items. I prefer not to add bulk if I can help it.

Anyway, thanks again!
