I am so pleased with myself .In 14.04 I have QMplay2 that was installed through @samrog's old PPA (he took it down
)I love this player.
this player is great it uses ffmpeg so plays almost anything and will use ffmpeg-VDPAU (hardware decoding)
it will do youtube ,,,,,and it works , + you can just download the vid if you want .....(must have the "youtube-dl" package)
the hole interface is comprised of separate widgets , so any one of the tabs can be torn off and be it's own window , or rearranged in the interface
it's real nice ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, O so how did I get it in 16.04 ?
well I wint hear https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2 and did a "git clone" ,,,,,,,,read the readme ,,,, installed all the *-dev packages the readme said to
ran the "./installer_unix install" ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and it errors out with a cryptic message .
I see the make file that got generated and thought ,, what the heck,,,,and just ran "make" ,,,,,,Aaaaa this errors out with a very concise explanation that it cant find the cddb dev files ,,,,,, I apt search it ,,,and low and behold I had forgotten the libcddb2-dev ,,,,,installed it , reran the "./installer_unix install" ,,,,,,,,and ,,,,,,,,,,, "installation complete"
I have it in the main menu and the rite click a audio/video file in dolphin "open with" context menu + a "enqueue in QMplay2" option their as well
it was a small amount of work/fun
but it seams to work just fine so far .............................
