Streaming and playing media with Leste
 

To this thread tips and tweaks for streaming and playing media. Best players, scripts, good sites, etc.

Re: Streaming and playing media with Leste
 

Audacious is a good player for Leste: works well for local music and web radio with no particular config (only choose 'PulseAudio Output' in Output/Audio Settings to keep compatibility with UCM config)

SMPlayer / MPlayer works also well for video, even on N900 with the right settings. See Maemo leste N900 Wiki.
Xv acceleration works and video streaming is possible.
Yt-dlp is compatible with mplayer to stream on youtube and other services, like catch-up TV shows from several countries.
I remember that Kodi 17.6 is also working on Leste. The version from Chimaera repo is 19.1 but is currently not working because of new python libs iirc.

Do you have overclocked the N900 to 850mhz? i mean smplayer work slow with stutering here on play song, so i use CMUS Player ATM, but i still not overclocked to 850.

Yes it is overclocked to 850 but SMPlayer works well without overclock. You need to activate Xv acceleration.

See Maemo Leste Wiki for settings:
