VLC and Totem seem to go directly to the movie menu for some reason. May be the way I have them configured, but haven't been able to figure that problem out. Some will say it's not a problem. LOL! VLC is my next choice, if I want to bypass the previews. :) -- openSUSE 11.2x86_64 (Gnome 2.28.2) | AMD Athlon(tm) 64 3000+ | 2GB RAM

What's a good source for them? I'll differ to the experts on that. However these are the packages I have installed: libxine1 libxine1-codecs libxine1-gnome-vfs libxine1-pulse all from the Packman repository and phonon-backend-xine xine-ui both from the Main Repository. This is in the description of the libxine1 package in YaST. The libxine1 package may lack certain features because of legal requirements (potential patent violation). See http://www.opensuse.org/ xine#Legal_Matters Hope that helps a bit. -- openSUSE 11.2x86_64 (Gnome 2.28.2) | AMD Athlon(tm) 64 3000+ | 2GB RAM |
