The beginners will mostly prefer buttons in media player. That is why a of
distributions like Ubuntu Budgie, Ubuntu Kylin, Manjaro bspwm, E20, LXQT
editions, Solus, Netrunner ..etc uses `gnome-mpv` as default media player.
Thatäs great. I wasn't aware gnome-mpv was a thing. It's even in the
Trisquel repos. It's a GUI for mpv. BUT, mpv doesn't need a GUI.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I tried gnome-mpv. I prefer mpv and keyboard
shorcuts more but I understand people who miss buttons on their video
players.
I was always a fan of totem. I was happy with the way in which it evolves
with GNOME shell. Recently, I realized that, there is some performance issue
while playing HD files on totem. The video suspends in between.
Then I gave a try with gnome-mpv and my experience was very much positive. It
Works well. Looks good.
You can customize the look a fair bit, MATE and the old Gnome interface from
T7 are both great setups.
Like you I expect LXQt as the desktop for our Trisquel mini, too. I'm now
going to make Parabola/OpenRC mini ISO that's using LXQt to be the default
desktop, at parallel to https://liri.io, Xfce, finally wm-only shells.
I'm also planning to make PureOS mini ISO, still using GNOME desktop (LXQt
Where are the Trisquel wallpapers available inside trisquel.info? I need them
to be made of use for my Parabola mini ISO installers.
Was the issue I referred to here

ever fixed?
Today, I explored the Trisquel 8 Mini edition as well. From some other forum
posts, I was expecting LXQt to be default desktop environment. Still it is
using LXDE.
A few screenshots are included here. More screenshots are available in my
blog.
I have a bunch of old laptops, the most recent one dating 2007. I use mpv 90%
of the time. I only use mplayer with a few flags in order to play smoothly
very demanding fullhd vids. Mplayer is slightly faster than mpv.
It seems that Flidas' default is for its windows to have a persistently
visible scroll bar and on-screen arrow buttons at each end of it. I prefer
this to the iOS - style simplified line scrollbar with no arrow buttons that
is the default in Belenos.
However, I prefer a square, Windows
Used to use mplayer, switched to mpv and haven't looked back, with the
possible exception of VLC for playing around with the equalizer and
visualization plugins.

How I learned to stop worrying and love mpv. Give it a go.

I love the way in which totem is evolving. I would use it always if I have a
choice.
However, Ubuntu ships a patch with totem (at least till 17.10) which forces
it to show menu bar even on full screen. Once it is removed (possibly will be
removed in next Ubuntu release, as they are
VLC seems better imo.

Will cite now the first commandment of video viewing:
Thou shalt have no other video players before me
Thanks for the screenshots.
I was perplexed because I coyuldn't play any video in VLC // the screen was
blank. I changed video output to X11 and it came alive.
Instead of VLC I mostly use mpv nowadays.
Attaching screenshots again in comment, to generate thumb nail.
