               Gstreamer Player "Toes Wide Open" 0.4.2 released

   This  is a the release of the GStreamer Player. It should be used with
   GStreamer  release  version  0.4.2.  The  player is still in the early
   stages  of  development  and things may not work as expected. YOU HAVE
   BEEN WARNED.

   The aim of the player is to:
     * be the best player of video files on GStreamer platforms
     * be useful as a player for all media types supported by GStreamer

   It now has the following working features:
     * Play/Pause and Stop
     * Seek slider
     * Volume slider and mute
     * Mini mode
     * Fullscreen video mode
     * %50, %100 & %200 video magnification
     * Certified to play Las Ketchup - Asereje

   The following things don't really work:
     * The playlist
     * Playing some audio file types like mod, sid
     * At the end of a file it doesn't really stop, just pause
     * Scaling and Seeking in non-Xv mode

   New since last release
     * Plays multiple files seqentially
     * now has an appicon
     * Nautilus view
     * fewer bugs
     * Window title now displays Media Info not application name
     * Media info button in lower right corner
     * Gives  good  error  messages  when  needed  GStreamer  plugins are
       missing.

Screenshots

   Here are two screenshots of the media player in action. If you want to
   make  your  own  screenshots  you need to edit the GStreamer videosink
   GConf key. After xvideosink add 'disable-xv=1'. We do not advise using
   this for normal viewing if you have Xv support available, as it lowers
   performance and disables scaling.

   For  even more fun, set the key to something like agingTV ! colorspace
   ! xvideosink
