Kiss is a simple and efficient media player based on the powerful GStreamer media framework.

It supports all file formats supported by GStreamer, including Ogg (Theora, Vorbis, Speex, FLAC), ASF (WMV/WMA, ...), AVI (XviD, MJPEG, DivX ...), Quicktime (MPEG-4, Sorensen...), MPEG (1, 2, 4) and so on.

The primary purpose of Kiss is to be a simple example application. It includes a very simple, to-the-point video widget for GStreamer/KDE.

Kiss is simple, to-the-point and has no more features than are needed to playback media. It exists as a test-bed and a show-off method for GStreamer. If you are interested in using the Kiss codebase as a base for a fully-featured KDE media player, please do so. I will help development as much as I can. I will, however, not be able to maintain and develop this fully-featured player myself.

Here are some key features of "Kiss":
Support for all popular media formats, including Ogg, AVI, ASF, MPEG and Quicktime.
Automatic size handling
Full-screen support

Requirements:
GStreamer 0.8.7 or (preferred) CVS
GStreamer plugins 0.8.6 or (preferred) CVS
GStreamer ffmpeg 0.8.2 or (preferred) CVS
All plugin dependencies for which you want support
