Playing videos

**MoonShiner** · 11-09-2004, 12:48 AM

Gremlin, excellent work!

Is there any way to play videos? Half of my music library is in mpg/avi/wmv, I was wondering if there is a way to play the videos (not just audio from the videos). If it's not in the current release, will it be in a future release?

I was also wondering if there is a way to display the filename instead of the ID3 tags for the audio. All of my music files are nicely labeled "artist - title.mp3". Only about half have complete ID3 tags.

Keep up the good work, this is one of the best front-ends I've seen so far.

.

Go download Tag&Rename... yuo can create the ID3 tags based on the filename structure... works like a charm... although its not straightforward user friendly.. but by playing around with it you will get it...

What is the software vendor of Tag&Rename? I googled it and came up with several different vendors that have software that basically does the same.

I'll look at getting another form which plays video files. I'm still a little busier than expected but hope to have time in the upcoming few days to do more work.
