GNOME MPlayer

Description:

GNOME MPlayer is a simple GUI for MPlayer. It is intended to be a nice tight player and provide a simple and clean interface to MPlayer. GNOME MPlayer has a rich API that is exposed via DBus. Using DBus you can control a single or multiple instances of GNOME MPlayer from a single command.

The player can be used to play media on websites when used with Gecko Mediaplayer

Browser Integration

To set GNOME MPlayer as the default player for mms and rtsp protocols in Mozilla/Firefox add this to your prefs.js file

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.mms", "/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.rtsp", "/usr/bin/gnome-mplayer");

Or open the "about:config" location and create new string settings with the above values.
