Burt I'll have to find time to have a think but meanwhile I'll forward your message to the list.
Best Wishes Maurice ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Burt Henry <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:21:18 -0500 Subject: is anyone using the gnome media player To: Maurice McCarthy <[email protected]> I am a new Linux user. I installed the Vinux Flavor of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid about 5 weeks ago, and am still sorting out my core programs for some tasks, and would like advice from other blind users as to best choices for media players. I do not want to have 5 or 6 players installed like I do in windows, but would like to have 2 or three that can take care of all of my audio/video needs. I have heard a bit about a gnome media player that is actually a front end for some other players including VLC. I have been mostly using the movie-player that came with the Vinux distro, and for podcasts rhythm box...also I down-loaded the streamtuner package that came with the audacious player. I do not know if this is normal but I could not get audacious to fast forward or "jump to" anything..no matter how many seconds or minutes I put in the edit field it always just started from the beginning of the audio file. I do not generally use many play-lists and do listen to a good bit of streaming audio. I'd like easy access to fast forward/rewind controls in some form-and the ability to rip from those streams with out much setup...(I hear something I may want to record and just do it; maybe rewinding if it's possible to go back using buffered bits, and a couple or three keystrokes and I am recording till I choose to stop), maybe I am missing something with rhythmbox, but I have not found how to see what if any podcast is actually being down-loaded except by checking in the folder to see if a new file has shown-up. That's more or less the wish-list, so any recommendations on what media player to try, or how to better take advantage of what I have would be greatly appreciated. I have no experience with console media players, but would be willing to try if someone gives me a good reason to try one and or a couple of tips on how to get started with it. Thanks in advance for any ideas. B.H.
