Hey Didier, > People trying to use video have the same critics that when > they don't look the audio support: slow to start, confusing interface and so > on.
Well there is a bit of an interesting give and take here and it should be talked about. The people who complain about a player being slow to load are not the people that are really in the target any more its people who want more features but dont care if it takes 2-20 seconds to open. Also along that line if it has a confusing interface that should also be looked at and also wouldnt having 1 media player be helpful because at least they would have a consistant interface for everything? For every argument against banshee as the one and only player you could argue a good few positives to switching in my opinion. The biggest positive I see and maybe not everyone would view it this way is just the library support, I know totem supports playlists but it isnt really the same. In many ways using totem is really just using nautilus in banshee you could have it pulling in all of your music and video and bypass the file browser which is a huge win for users. I would support having a simplified version maybe for when video is being played but I really dont know if it would be that much of a performance gain or a user interface gain. Id say that should be discussed if we do end up going this way. Anyway id hate to start a huge debate on shipping a simpler video player vs a more complicated one but I think we should be thinking about it.
