Puppy beats Bloat

[darry1966]

Please don't be swayed by my or anyone else's bias.

Whatever floats yer bloat.... or should that be sink.

Mplayer has a cute xmms skin... its actually quite light run that way.

lets do a rhumba....

Mplayer uses beggar all when run without gui thats my preference but love Patriot's 2x efforts with inbuilt ffmpeg they are brilliant even on old puppy 2 tried on Cupuppy an old 2.17 pupplet ran well.

My reasons for loving Xmms so much is that I have run it since Redhat 8 days and loved it's skins and sound and yes Beep player but sorry Xmms is my favourite.

So may be if anyone interested (Yes I know wishful thinking) might look at developing it for Puppy?????

Hmm yes...did a rebuild of 2009 and the lucid one (rc4) a while ago... minimised dependencies/esoteric features and made them player only...no encoding...the latter nearly halved mem usage.

The 2009 works fine on puppy 2.02 yet handles anything but the most annoying formats.

Look closely at the screenshot and both players have buffered about 5mb of the stream in those figures.
