Gstreamer Player 0.4.1
Gstreamer Player "The Dutch Loss" 0.4.1 released [1]
Homepage: http://www.gstreamer.net/apps/gst-player/
This is a the release of the GStreamer Player. It should be used with
GStreamer release version 0.4.1. The player is still in the early stages
of development and things may not work as expected. YOU HAVE BEEN
WARNED.
* The aim of the player is to: be the best player of video files on
GStreamer platforms
* be useful as a player for all media types supported by GStreamer
It now has the following working features:
* Play/Pause and Stop
* Seek slider
* Volume slider and mute
* Mini mode
* Fullscreen video mode
* %50, %100 & %200 video magnification
* Certified to play Las Ketchup - Asereje
The following things don't really work:
* The playlist
* Playing some audio file types like mod, sid
* At the end of a file it doesn't really stop, just pause
* Scaling and Seeking in non-Xv mode
New since last release
* Plays multiple files seqentially
* now has an appicon
* Nautilus view
* fewer bugs
* Window title now displays Media Info not application name
* Media info button in lower right corner
* Gives good error messages when needed GStreamer plugins are
missing.
Screenshots
Here are two screenshots of the media player in action. If you want to
make your own screenshots you need to edit the GStreamer videosink GConf
key. After xvideosink add 'disable-xv=1'. We do not advise using this
for normal viewing if you have Xv support available, as it lowers
performance and disables scaling.
For even more fun, set the key to something like agingTV ! colorspace !

GSwitchIt 0.93
The last milestone release of the GSwitchIt toolkit for GNOME 1
GSwitchIt is going to say "farewell" to GNOME 1. So all the best
features of
XKB handling/configuration/management are here today. There can be some
future
bugfix releases in 0.9x series (though I cannot really promise) but most
of
the new development will be done in GNOME 2. So the next version will most
probably be GSwitchIt 2.0 for GNOME 2.
The current version adds more correct handling of the global XKB
configuration
(if user wants to use things written in XF86Config) - in read-only mode.
Some
UI polishing according to GNOME Human Interface Guidelines 1.0 was
performed.
Tooltips show some useful info in many cases now. The UI terminology of
"groups" and "layouts" is more strict and correspond to
X Window stardards now
(though may be a bit confusing for some users:).
The important change in general XKB configuration handling: now user does
not
have to add the applet into the GNOME panel to get all the settings from
XKB
capplet installed at the session startup. Instead, the XKB configuration
capplet adds itself to the GNOME session startup sequence and loads the XKB
configuration itself.
Thanks to GNOME Translation Project, Norwegian translation is added.
Some fixes for the latest gcc/autoconf/automake were done too.
Known issues:
1. As usual, in all GNOME 1 releases, the applet configuration is activated
after the applet restart only.
2. The applet configuration menu item sometimes hangs the applet. It is
known
problem (Xlib is a major suspect here). So it is recommended to
configure
the applet from gnomecc or directly launching
gswitchit-properties-capplet.
