KXplayer Description

KXplayer is a very simple media player, based on xine. KXplayer is a very simple media player, based on xine. It's my hobby-project - just a way to get a better knowledge of KDE's internals.Besides I wanted to learn programming C++ and since I believe the best way to learn programing is to write a program, I just made my mind to write a multimedia player.Since it is a player, this word had to be in present in the title. The 'K' and 'X' appered there because of KDE (interface) and XINE (backend).I took the decision to write a player because I needed one. I needed a good media player for KDE (something like XMMS with KDE inderface), which would be working as reliably as possible.At present my PC is a 750MHz Duron with 128MB RAM and it's almost imposible to work in OpenOffice.org and listen to MP3/OGG at the same time. Running XMMS and OpenOffice 1.x together on my Mandrake results in sound fragmentation.For some time I've been using boombox (you can find it in kde-apps). It is based on xine and I found it working better than xmms - almost no fragmentation. Unfortunately boombox's interface is a bit strange (IMHO) and it's not saving the equalizer settings (very annoying).Requirements:· xine (any date after 28.09.2004 will do I hope)· KDE 3.2 or newer· something else (I think there should be something else, but I simly cannot recal any other requirement)What's New in This Release:· FIX: (2005-02-25) New shortcuts. General idea is: All control functions are with CTRL modifier are utilizing the ALT modifier key. The audio control keys utilize the last · row on the keyboard. Others tend to be assotiative· ADD: (2005-02-25) New playing modes - trackLoop, playlistLoop, AutoQ (when end-of-track reached advances to next and stops)· FIX: (2005-02-24) The 'load' function was optimised· FIX: (2005-02-24) Both amarokWidget and playlist hiding/showing is fixed.
