Previously I have only | used it as a server platform. I've managed to replace | most of the desktop utilities I need, but I need | a good replacement for Windows Media Player. | | I'm looking for opinions here.... | | I'd like an application that works well as | a stream player (i.e. supports playing mp3/mpeg/avi/etc | from a web site via mozilla) as well as | playing dvd/vcd/divx/dvd/etc from the localhost. | | I'm also looking for an application that has the concept | of easy to install/manage codecs. I'd like to avoid | having to --enable via configure and re-compile each time | I need a new codec. | | The GUI need not be pretty, but should not be kludgy, and | adware would be a big minus. | | If the application supported network updates of both the | player and the codec w/o adware, I'd even be willing | to throw some money towards a yearly subscription. | | Suggestions? | | - --daxbert | | ------------------------------ -- Everyone is a genius.
