Lumiere is a GNOME frontend to libxine from the xine project. It has the looks of XMMS or Winamp and integrates seemlessly with the Gnome Desktop.
Lumiere is a media player, it just plays audio and video files. It is meant to work with Linux and alikes, not Windows.
Lumiere is a GNOME frontend to libxine from the xine project. It has the looks of XMMS or Winamp and integrates seemlessly with the Gnome Desktop. It uses most of the Gnome technologies available (Intercommunication, configuration registry, session management...).
Lumiere features a player with playlist management, visual effects, notification icon, a server mode. It can be used as a Nautilus "Viewer" and registers itself with the right-click menu of nautilus.
Lumiere depends on libxine to play medias, it will play only what is supported by your libxine (a default installation should handle most media types).
Lumiere is not aggressive with your computer, it needs little resources (if you use GNOME) and will not keep a hand on your audia or video hardware when not playing.
Here are some key features of "Lumiere":
Play mp3, ogg, DivX;-), DVDs, Audio CDs...
Integrate fully with the Gnome desktop (mime-types, drag'n drop, notification area...)
Keep it it memory, it won't keep your audio or XVideo devices busy
Use it with Mozilla or Galeon, through mozilla-bonobo
Hey, it follows mostly the "Human Interface Guidelines" from freedesktop.org, this means standard key shortcuts, standard menus, application registry registration, standard secondary windows... It works fine with Gnopernicus screen reader.
It is time to throw away XMMS...
Requirements:
xine-lib
