What you get when that mode enables is "drop files to play here".
Dragging from Nautilus to MPV's window does nothing.

huh. I typically watch my media using "open with" commands, and the player controls mpv passes via "pseudo gui" by default have always seemed pretty functional to me. are you looking for playlists or media managment outside of your filemanager?
never used smplayer, so I can't speak to fixing it really. there's always baka mplayer or bomi if you need a workaround.
Maybe my installation of mpv is broken. It won't close the window now that it's open. Have to manually kill the process in terminal with top
.
Things I prefer in a video player:
SMPlayer does all those things, but has the issue of opening mpv in a separate window which disallows me from fullscreening somehow.
Going to the file in Nautilus and opening it with mpv there works fine and shows the button Pseduo GUI that lets me pause/play/etc so that works.
So the only thing I couldn't do is the URL bit. And quitting using Gnome doesn't work so I have to manually kill the process.
Weird.
oh, well there's your problem right there. see if your distro has a packaged version of GNOME-mpv
There u go, installed that and it's working well. Thanks.
fuckin gnome, man. 9 times outta 10 it seems like some piece of gnome ends up fucking everything up every time I troubleshoot these days.
Now I gotta figure out how to get .webms and such to play in Vivaldi since for some reason they are not.
I know Vivaldi pulls in Chromium's built-in flash plugin, but replacing the libraries for it didn't fix that. The Arch package for Vivaldi pulls in like 500 MB of Chromium source code to get like 4MB of files from it since it can't package that 4MB of files due to the licensing.
I figure my problem is that pulling the Vivaldi.rpm didn't give me those libraries for that reason, but rebuilding vivaldi is a pain for that.
[Firefox Intensifies]
But can Firefox do:
Built-in filters for a lot of stuff
Note taking
Mouse gestures
Custom keyboard shortcuts
Tab grouping -> tiling
"but you can just get extensions for all that"
No. Built-in or nothing.
Oh, and the side panel is cool.
- sepia tone
- rocker gestures
- focus and hover
I feel like this browser is just making shit up lol
if i want developer things i use seamonkey, and I use my casual browser like a regular human, so im having a hard time relating. if it works it works, I guess (till it doesn't work with webms get shrekt)
Lol, well, the main features I actually use are:
I can see why you would prefer something specialized to do development work in, but if you can have everything you need in one application, why wouldn't you? I'm not saying Vivaldi would do that for you. I'm saying it does it for me, so that's why I bother with it.
this is a problem, and the only course of treatment indicated recommends that you take 5.9 gitclones of Plasma, STAT.
Since when did Firefox become a Transformer?
"Do one thing and do it well"
When using *nix you have to embrace what make *nix, Unix.
@Goalkeeper That's Vivaldi.
@tkoham But then gnome-mpv won't work.
@Adobe_Flash_Player I believe the Unix philosophy is great for a system and system features. I think it starts to be unnecessary when you start talking about things that aren't necessary but "nice to haves".
If you hold that philosophy Windows would be better for you. Linux already has too much bloat. No reason to encourage it.
but thats the beauty of it. if you aren't on gnome/gtk, you don't need gnome-mpv
...?
I had assumed you were talking about how I want my browser to also be my note taking application.
How does that related to linux becoming bloated?
