Review: Elisa media center

[ Thanks to Nobody for this link.
]

“Elisa starts up in its own window, though you can
switch to full-screen mode by typing F. The main interface offers
five choices: Pictures, Music, Movies, DVD, and Services. The first
four are self-explanatory; Services is a submenu into which you can
install additional plugins. The Weather plugin is installed here by
default; it fetches current conditions based on a locale you
specify.

“Media playback is straightforward. Since Elisa is built on the
GStreamer framework, any format supported by GStreamer plays
automatically. This version of Elisa is artificially limited to 100
items per menu, though, which is not enough to browse large
collections of media. That limit is set to be removed for the 0.2
release.”
