edit: sry I posted my reply on the wrong article, however I think MPlayer is the base of nearly all other players (except VLC, which is under Windows a nice thing, but unter Linux with KDE I don’t like it as good) like SMPlayer, KMPLayer and so on. Totem would also be a nice program to show up.

Hi again

I enjoy reading your Qt vs. GTK articles, because they animate me to think about your text and write my mind.

It is nice that you began to write a serie of “Qt vs. GTK” after your article to figure out with the messangers which is better.

But I have to say, I really like Firefox, but the thing I hate on Firefox is the GTK GUI, it is with KDE quite nasty.
Konqueror is a nice thing, but it doens’t have the addons FF has. The filemanager is nice, but I use Dolphin and I am just happy with it.

The other browsers it didn’t try, except Opera (which has a really nice GUI) which is really nice, but I miss the addons.

It would also be a nice article about developing and coding with the two Frameworks.

Or use Opera, which is built on QT

This is an interesting series, as I much prefer KDE apps (which have -gasp- options!) over GTk apps.

Regardless, I don’t know if the Web Browser one was a very fair comparison, since Firefox is pretty much the heavyweight on any platform. Just install “Konquefox” addon and “KDE4+Firefox3″ theme to make Firefox fit in a bit better with KDE and life is good…

…life is good, except for the horrific Firefox file browser, which is only slightly worse than any GNOME file browser.

@v00d00

there is gnome-mplayer which is a gtk frontend of mplayer, it’s not the best frontend but it’s my favorite movie player in linux since it’s gtk and i use gnome. totem, which is the default player in gnome, has both a gstreamer and xine backends.

and why gstreamer framework is a fail? it has some advantages over xine and mplayer

Well, the old VLC was written in Wxwidgets, not gtk, and the new VLC is written in QT4.

Most Gtk multimedia apps use the gstreamer framework which is a fail imho.
