GNOME Mplayer project is a simple GUI frontend for Mplayer.

It is based heavily on the mplayerplug-in source code and can basically be seen as a standalone version of that. Currently it is a test bed for new methods of operation for mplayerplug-in and so it may be broken or lacking many features. I use it as my default viewer for media on my personal machine.

To set GNOME Mplayer as the default player for mms and rtsp protocols in Mozilla/Firefox add this to your prefs.js file

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mms", "/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp", "/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer");

Or open the "about:config" location and create new string settings with the above values.

Requirements:

· gtk+
· MPlayer

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]

· Translation updates, general bug fixes. So hot key changes for example playlist is now F9, to be more compatible with other Gnome Apps
· New features: gnome-mplayer now includes a property page in Nautilus that displays media info. To use restart nautilus after installing and then select a media file and choose properties, you should see an Audio/Video tab and you can view the properties that mplayer knows there. If you have totem installed you might see two pages.
