This is a great all-round media player (because it uses Mplayer as a backend) with a very nice interface, but it's 'killer' feature in my opinion is the Youtube player/search function. Normally if you have an old underpowered computer without hardware assisted video support, flash Youtube video will be just an unwatchable slideshow, but using this program you can view even full-screen videos very smoothly without adobe flash plugin. I have installed Umplayer on an old computer running Linux and for the first time I can play Youtube videos smoothly on it. Umplayer should be default media player on all lightweight linux distros. |
