Audience: A Slick, Minimalistic Linux Media Player

“The application uses a slick, clutter-based user interface and
is designed to play videos without getting in your way, with
controls displayed in a semi-transparent overlay that uses autohide
and a seek bar that shows a thumbnail preview for a given mark in
the video, eliminating the need to manually seek to see what
happens at a certain point in the video. For the menu, Audience
uses an elementary-style AppMenu instead of a classic menu bar:

“Audience doesn’t have any settings and the only thing you can
configure are the subtitles (language), though some options like
lock / unlock window resizing to the aspect ration of the current
video, enable/disable video resuming and others are available in
Dconf.”
