Linterna Mágica does not have its own video renderer. It depends on video plugins. In a standard GNOME installations the default should be Totem. I personally have issues with HTML5. Sometimes it is slow on caching and loading. There are glitches too. YouTube is an example. Lately YouTube's HTML5 player uses 60-80 % CPU of my machine (Thinkpad X60, 3GB RAM, 1.8GHz CPU). With LM and Totem I get 10-30% less. With Linterna Mágica I personally get better results. The caching and the playback is smoother for me. That are the basic benefits for me. The rest (again for me) is satisfaction, eyecandy and easy clip downloads if needed. In addition I don't have any flash plugin enabled, so in a YouTube playlist Linterna Mágica will playback the entire list for me (shuffle or not) taking care of clips that still require flash and will skip unavailable clips. The YouTube player cannot playback some clips that require flash and the user does not have flash plugin. Recently there are issues with HD links (above 360/480) for some/all videos. YouTube is switching(ed?) to DASH [1] and since Abrowser (Forefox) still doesn't support it there are no such links. AFAIK only the YouTube flash player has such support and maybe the Chromium(copyright issues)/Chrome (proprietary). It was reported to me. I had no time to play with it. > Even the test videos on your website does > work flawlessly without it. You mean that they work without Linterna Mágica or what? The raw clips are there to test and prove that there is a video plugin. Thy should work without LM. The rest is mockup of flash objects as some websites implement them. The idea there is to test that Linterna Mágica works at all and to see what you should expect on other websites. Was this helpful?
