For those that don't know, the original "rage" is an aussie TV music show that runs all night / morning on the government TV free to air TV station ABC during the weekends. Pretty much it just plays back to back music videos. > it's a good place to start to look how to make a video player. it has > some "advanced" stuff like if you do: > > rage * > > it'll show a thumbnail preview of all videos in the list on the right > size of the window on mouseover (you can scroll around too and select > the video to play). it also tries to detect audio files (no video > data) and switches to a different display mode. at the moment it's my > go-to media player replacement. :) it is NOT a media library manager. > it's simpler. :) I'll give it another go, but I suspect there was some good reason why I decided to not use rage last time I switched media players. For most of them, it's "I don't want a fucking media manager". lol -- A big old stinking pile of genius that no one wants coz there are too many silver coated monkeys in the world.
