Doesn't it have a Gnome front-end though? I think it's called "gtv". If this is it, yep, it rocks. Been using it for a while.

Really, you should try mplayer! Some of mplayer's key features are: - plays MPEG-1 - plays MPEG-2 - plays AVI with win32 CODECs - plays AVI with built-in OpenDivX decoder - excellent A/V sync - own robust file parsing (doesn't use avifile, just the CODEC support) - supports X11/MITSHM - supports DGA - supports fullscreen - supports Xv, OpenGL, and some Matrox G200/400 special output options - supports output (encode) to OpenDivX! - has post processing filters for MPEG and DivX ;-) (DirectShow filter) It's also faster than any other players I've tried. It's the only player that'll play the Heroine MPEG-2 samples without dropping frames. It doesn't have a GUI, but if you're used to aviplay then you won't miss that! http://thot.banki.hu/esp-team/MPlayer.html http://mars.tuwien.ac.at/~roman/nuppelvideo/ No, I'm not affiliated with mplayer, but I've tried a lot of Linux media players, and this is hands down the best.
