I use gnome and if i wanna watch a video i use kaffeine.Can you propose me any other video player?

**lakerdonald** · 12-31-2004

xine, mplayer (i really like mplayer), helix.
why don't you continue using kaffeine with gnome? all you'd lose is the kde integration

kaffeine is just a KDE frontend for xine, so if you install xince it's got the same guts as kaffeine;
Or you can just use kaffeine in GNOME as lakerdonsld said

Yep,right know i use kaffeine with my gnome but i made this post so if you have to propose me something else except for kaffeine.I know my english is not so good.

What errors do you get?

**stathisx** · 01-01-2005

in the installation try ./mplayer --enable-gui

**Sygnus X1** · 01-01-2005

well i have the command line version installed, but when i try to install the gui through atp-get
i get this error

Code:

&#91;root@localhost root&#93;# apt-get install mplayer-gui
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E&#58; Couldn't find package mplayer-gui

im wondering if there is another name for it instead of mplayer-gui that apt-get might recognise, but "mplayer-gui" is exactly the name that the mplayer web site has given it

this is from http://luna.cs.ccsu.edu/dominik/mplayer/apt.html

If you have installed APT and set it up to use the Grey Sector Repository, all you need to do is (as root):

apt-get install mplayer

or

apt-get install mplayer-gui

depending on which version you wish to install. You can install both, of course. APT will do the rest for you.

any ideas?

sorry for double post

now im getting new errors after i told my apt-get to look at the Grey Sector Repository

Code:

&#91;root@localhost gpg&#93;# apt-get install mplayer-gui
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package mplayer-gui has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E&#58; Package mplayer-gui has no installation candidate
