Bangarang

Bangarang has not seen any real development in almost 1.5 years. If it needs to be ported it will need to be heavily reworked. It would be nice if someone created a multi-media library on top of Baloo which all multi-media related applications could use - Plasma Media Center, Amarok and Bangarang.

Future ?:

Riddell bangarang guy said he's working on a big rewrite and current version is unsupported so I'll remove it 08:31

Description: Multimedia player with a lightweight interface for KDE
 Offers a media—audio and video—player with a lightweight interface. Integrates
 with the Nepomuk Social Semantic Desktop, supports command line arguments, can
 play CDs and DVDs and audio streams. It also has basic keyboard shortcuts and
 allows users to manually manage playlists.

it is/was ok ......kinda querky to get used to ,,,,,, can edit track tags but not sure if it dose it on the local DB or actually in file like Kid3 ,,,,,,,,,,,but VLC is still the best.

well the mplayer players like in @Rog123's screen shot come close.

Default Kubuntu apps

Now and then the default Kubuntu application palette is suggested to the kubuntu developers: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ku...ry/006583.html

Hi

Please not that we cannot ship some multimedia things like libav due
to patent issues as a result of which apps like vlc cannot be shipped...

(As claydoh told...)


The user's default applications can be something else...

[claydoh]

Simple: We try to use KDE programs as much as is possible, to provide a well rounded set of default applications that stay within a certain size limit (for the install iso) Dragon has been the default for ages now, with few complaints. It does the job well for quite a few people, but anyone can easily install an alternative.
Also, as many Linux users side toward software freedom, VLC uses a number of non-free codecs.

[anonprivate]

Thank you.

Much as I thought

I wonder why the developers did not include VLC as the default player? (I know that it is in Muon)

Might be best to install VLC and remove Dragon Player.

Best wishes

Dragon does not support playlists

[anonprivate]

If you mean my pc, see my signature. If you mean my OS, then KUBUNTU 14.04 - 32bit

[woodsmoke]

Ok....at the risk of offending you I will risk a question.\
\
Please list the specifications of your OS?

[anonprivate]

I cannot see how to construct playlists in Dragon Player

[woodsmoke]

popularity does not necessarily equate to functionality.....a DRAGON..............can............do a lot of stuff!



I personally have been......in the jungles.....and defied the dragon's breath.......the dragon may lay in wait....but.....sometimes....

laying there... among all those................ don't know...........things that MEN covet....gold..... acccccolades from men.......the dragon....

waits.....or it can...........turn on you ..the DRAGON..... can........

can play for you................

or..........

the Dragon..............

can not....

Do YOU...........just covet the gold.............?

REALLY....DO YOU COVET G9ODLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

or do you want...........to........contribute?

it izzz a dicey game....game as in gambon...but a game...sometimes............YOU............ask a question...........that has not been asked...

SOMETIMES...........YOU..........ASK A QUESTI0N\\

THAT HAS NOT BEENASKED...

GO TO BLUE HEAVEN

AND COME BACK.........HERE,,,to Kubuntuheavennnn

I think that VLC is a lot more popular than Dragon Player.

[woodsmoke]

Buuuuuttt.....

there is a certain.........ambience........about DragonPlayer...........I remember when it was "Lycos Player" back in the whole "interface thingy windows thingy" what..........2002? It has a certain......."elan".........don't know...

I think that if you "kept this thread going"......maybe you can pick up some more knowledgabe people.............

DRAGON.......rises up.....against the regime.....rises up........and...even though it needs breastplates.....

[img]https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...n8K87vMLl1ZHyU[/img]

YOU...............YOU............could be an advocate.....

that pierces..............one............smalll........ ...

one smalll.................

breast scale...

Me..............I spent years on xmms.............not xmms2......... even wrote some posts about it at a certain big Linux place.........

so.............if you have a passion for it.............then...........go for it..............!!

be an advocate!!

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

I'll have another look at Dragon Player, and if I can't see how to achieve playlists etc, I will consider downloading VLC. I used to use this player in Vista. The problem will then be knowing which files in Muon to download, there are many with vlc connections.

Best wishes.

A

a simpel

sudo apt install vlc

will get you a working vlc with all it needs,,,,,you can then add etra plugins as you need them ,,,like browser-plugin-vlc if you want vlc to handle media content in your web browser .

VINNY

[claydoh]

just install the package called vlc. The system will download and install any other packages required. It will prompt you and tell you what it will grab and install before you proceed.

If you use Muon Software Center as opposed to Muon Package Manager, the confusion is lessened as Software Center focuses on applications, while the package manager has everything, including libraries, etc.
