Alter Ego

I was never a fuss when it comes to media players. When I was a full time Windows user, I used Windows Media Player, naturally. After that, I started using Windows Media Player Classic for its lightweight feature. When I started using Ubuntu about more than a month ago, I was fine with Totem. Until...

Totem won't SEEK PROPERLY! I like to rewatch my videos over and over; only watching the best parts. Sadly, Totem couldn't do seeking properly. As a workaround, I found out that I could seek by using the mouse wheel, which was okay. After that, it started to have this color issue for me.

Why do you hate me so much, Totem???

I then found out I can adjust the color of the video; like hue, saturation, brightness and contrast. After a few videos, I realized that I have to adjust the video settings every other time!!! This is just way beyond pissed. I had enough; and this is what I did.

I installed VLC. I have known VLC quite a while back, and I know it will work well. So I went off and installed VLC Media Player.

And then I changed my Nautilus setting to open ALL video files with VLC :D


And now I am a happy Ubuntu user again! :D
