Morphin

Morphin is a simple video-player aiming to be similar to KDE's Dragonplayer (former Codeine). It's based on Python, Gtk+ and Gstreamer. The main focus is on usability, ergonomics and simplicity. However, it has all features that you need to watch your videos.

you can find it at http://code.google.com/p/morphin/

I believe this is the video player I have been looking for. Sure wish somebody could make a pkgbuild for it. I would do it myself, but for right now I'll leave it up to a smarter person than I.

Re: Morphin

Here's a quick'n'dirty one:

pkgname=morphin
pkgver=0.0.5
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A simple video player based on Python, Gtk+ and Gstreamer"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license=('unknown')
url="http://code.google.com/p/morphin/"
depends=('pygtk' 'gstreamer0.10-base' 'kiwi' 'python-configobj' 'pyxdg' 'gstreamer0.10-python' )
makedepends=('setuptools')
source=(http://morphin.googlecode.com/files/${pkgname}_v${pkgver}-Alpha.tar.gz
    setup.patch)

build() {
    cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname}_v${pkgver}
    patch -Np0 -i ${srcdir}/setup.patch || return 1
    python setup.py install --root=${pkgdir} || return 1
}
md5sums=('1551034afa61427be80bb679e64af3cc'
         '4efe01720d72362aa4504f1b8516d72e')

and setup.patch:

        description      = DESC,

        download_url     = 'http://code.google.com/p/morphin/downloads/list',
        packages         = PACKAGES,
        package_dir      = {'morphin' : '.'},

Works - sort of. I watched a TV ep with it, and it crashed, right at the best part.

So I went back to mplayer....

No Contributor tag here, so whoever wants it can have it.

The patch, btw, fixes a bug in setup.py - somebody should send it upstream.
