Moovida (formerly known as Elisa) Media Center is a project aimed at creating a multiplatform Media Center. Moovida is much more than a simple multimedia player, it also allows us to organize our library with multiple options for video, audio and images. The elegant and easy-to-use interface automatically displays all types of works, quickly organizing the collection, and accessing the synopsis and cover of the film or album in question. In addition, it allows to extend its functionality with a large number of plugins. |
FUNCTIONALITY
It supports a wide variety of audio and video files.
The Moovida player uses the Gstreamer libraries as a multimedia playback engine, so it supports a large number of multimedia formats as standard.
Subtitle support
Moovida has support for subtitles, either integrated into the video itself, or from an external file.
For now it only supports some subtitle formats (srt and ssa), but in later versions it is planned to support more formats. Another drawback is the impossibility of choosing external subtitles from the playback menu, they must be in the same folder as the video and have the same name to be played.
Possibility of playing files with several audio channels
Moovida supports the playback of files with several audio channels, being able to switch between them during the playback, in a simple way.
Execution speed
The execution speed of the program is normal, after the program startup time. Once started, transitions are smooth, with no notable latency time. Plugins that depend on the network to function are those that show a slower execution speed.
Installing Moovida in Ubuntu is easy by following the steps below:
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/moovida-packagers/ppa/ubuntu karmic main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
We use these two commands to get the key:
gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 26C2E075
gpg --export --armor 26C2E075 | sudo apt-key add
we update and install Moovida:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install moovida
You'll find Moovida in: Applications -> Sound & video -> Moovida Media Center
