Whaaw! Media Player
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work):
Whaaw! Media Player will play any audio/video files which gstreamer can play. It supports fullscreen mode, seeking, changing video colour settings and more. It is inteded to be a basic media player similar to totem.
Dependencies: python >= 2.5, gstreamer-python >= 0.10, pygtk >= 2.10, pyxdg, gstreamer-good >= 0.10
0.2.14:
- 'Hide Video Window' option removed since it caused way too many crashes.
- Use 'xdg-screensaver' for disabling the screensaver rather than configuring it through the config.
- Tag reading rework.
- Allow adding subtitle files to videos (Accessible through the open file dialogue, also a subtitles 'manager' is available under the 'Stream' menu).
- Fix some weird bug with the tagger producing multiple lists of tags, rather than just one.
- New translations.
- Use the same executable to run whaawmp as was used to run setup.py (for systems which have python3 as default python)
There's also a converter in the tarball, but it really doesn't work all that well. Use at your own peril.

Hi All, I have a specific requirement, I need a player which can play two overlay video one in full screen and other in overlay window in a small screen in corner. The one similar to any video chat window. id any opensource or player available kindly share or if possible then source code.
this is a really really really good app haven't put it through the paces yet. just downloaded the SVN added an open with command and i'm sold. really tight, fast and simple.
This is a really nice app. Two things about it though, and one of them is a killer for me. Both should be easy fixes though. 1: The video progress is shown using a progressbar. This is highly distracting while I watch a video, especially with themes that use animated progressbar. Perhaps a GtkScale would be better suited for this. 2: The whole player and the GtkNotebooks in the preferences could use a little padding around them, maybe like 4px or something? Great app!
I edited the glade file to reflect the changes I was talking about. Contact me if you're interested in seeing it.
Here is an Ubuntu .deb package: http://fmw.13.fr/uploads/stores/whaawmp_0.2.10-1_i386.deb Builded on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) with checkinstall. Good luck for the continuation.
i really like your app, for me it's even better than vlc! any change it will be included in the debian or ubuntu sources???
