    I'd like to have a show of hands of who's for xine and who's for
    mplayer. Which one is the better choice for a complete multimedia
    solution? I've used both and have to say that I've had problems with
    both.

    With xine I've been able to play most all formats with the exception of
    Windows media (although I know the codecs are out there). I've gotten
    the gxine frontend which includes a plugin for mozilla. Unfortunately
    I've had many many crashes of mozilla / xine when using the plugin.

    With mplayer (which I've just recently installed), I've had better
    stability (although it has crashed on inline movies), but I don't know
    the extent of the formats that it can play. Also I haven't seen a
    frontend to mplayer so far....I assume that one does exist.

    Thoughts? Experiences?

    Thanks in advance!
    Brian
