xubuntu-devel Digest, Vol 187, Issue 8

I've never had any problems with Parole. That doesn't mean it's bugfree
though. But including VLC, wouldn't that bring a lot of Qt-
dependencies? And Parole is a native XFCE-app, which VLC isn't.
Besides, isn't the question whether to include a more dedicated
musicplayer as a companion to Parole?
Regards
/Martin

Parole never works so we switch to VLC. Also VLC is standard on Linux
Mint 20.1 XFCE which is based on Xubuntu. Joel

Thanks for everyone's input on the discussion.
I personally use Audacious as my preferred audio player, I grew up on
winamp, and was initially going to include it in the list of
suggestions,
but unfortunately it uses Qt libraries, so it would be out of the question
for Xubuntu. VLC would also be out of the question due to the same reason
of using Qt libraries and we already ship Parole as a video player.

Yousuf

2. deadbeef music player. It's small and expandable.

Deadbeef is not on the official repos and the respective Debian

bug

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576975
Audacious would be an alternative.

Greetings,

VLC would also be out of the question due to the same reason of

using Qt libraries and we already ship Parole as a video player.
Personally I add VLC on Linux systems.
However for playing mp4's, lately it has been grumpy about pausing
and resuming later. Freezes, locks up, takes the system hostage for
a while. Parole is a more stable choice for viewing mp4's. No
such similar bad behavior. Parole might soon win me over for mp4
default application. Good reminder that Parole comes standard.
I am thankful,
