VLC
For thouse of you that don't know what VLC is:
VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG2, MPEG4, DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, mp3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs, and multimediastreams from various network sources.
To play video files :
apt-get install vlc
apt-get install vlc-plugin-esd (since hoaey uses ESD)
In terminal type:
vlc --aout esd
Hopefully you will now be able to play all sort of video files.
You can also edit this in the preferences:
Open the Preferences and klikk on "Audio",
Mark the Advanced option and make EsounD youre default audio output Module.
To play video streams in mozilla:
The mozilla VLC plugin adds support for MPEG, MPEG2, DVD, DivX, Ogg/Vorbis and many more formats to your Mozilla browser. The decoding process is done by VLC
and the output window is embedded in a webpage or directly in the browser
window. There is also support for fullscreen display and javascript control.
sudo apt-get install mozilla-plugin-vlc
I tried this with the mozilla browser and it worked. You may have to wait some seconds because it may not show that it is buffering.
Kaffeine
Kaffeine is a xine-based media player for KDE 3
Kaffeine has all the features of xine-ui, but is native to KDE.
sudo apt-get install kaffeine
If the mozilla-plugins above did not work try:
sudo apt-get install kaffeine-mozilla
This mozilla plugin launches kaffeine, the xine-based media player for KDE,
when a page containing a supported media format is loaded.
Xmms, To play music files:
apt-get install xmms
apt-get libmikmod2
In Preferences change the Audio output to: eSound
