MediaPlayer

The MediaPlayer lets you play a variety of audio and video files on your computer. It's interface has standard controls, which are the same for both audio and video: Play, Pause, Stop, Fast forward, Rewind and Volume. In addition, you can use the timeline sliders to set the portion of a file you want to see or hear.

The MediaPlayer panel opens in its expanded state, so you can see all the available controls and access the File, View and Settings menus; to shrink the panel, click the toggle switch at the right end of the timeline.

Select Settings --> Application Preferences to open the MediaPlayer's preferences panel.

  • Check Automatically start playing to open a sound or video file automatically when you drop it on the MediaPlayer.

  • Check one of the Close window... selections if you want the on-screen window to close when a file finishes playing.

  • Check Loop movies/sound by default to achieve that result.

  • The Play background movies at... selection lets you make gross adjustments to volume: full, half, or muted.

The menu choices in the expanded MediaPlayer's menu bar are also available in a context menu that pops up when you right-click on the player. In mini-MediaPlayer view, where there's no volume control slider in the window, you can get to one through the context menu: Right-click to open the context menu and drag down to Volume, then grab the knob in the volume control slider that pops up to adjust the level of the file you're playing.

The MediaPlayer supports AIFF, WAV and AU audio files, MPEG, AVI, QuickTime and indeo 5 video files. The File --> Download new media add-ons in the expanded MediaPlayer, is currently not working.

With MediaPlayer you can listen to streaming audio:
