I've tried it.

* Sane defaults (encodings and fonts, scaletempo for audio)

* instantaneous play of next and previous videos

* navigation in random playlist actually works

* Easy always on top key binding

* Most mplayer key bindings work

I'll definitely keep on trying it for a while.

Does it include all the codecs by default? I think this was a major reason VLC succeeded the way it did. With all other players (BPlayer anyone?) you needed to find and install tons of codecs while in VLC it just worked.

It has played everything I've thrown at it so far...
