Development Release: MoviX2 0.3.1rc2 |
| The MoviX project has released MoviX2, version 0.3.1rc2: "Just a few words about the new MoviX2 release: a few bugs found in rc1 have been fixed (e.g. remotes and the cle266 tv-out) and a few new features have been introduced (support for selecting the NIC to use when more than one is found, support for more wireless and PCMCIA cards, support for modifying the size of the MPlayer GUI font and to select the default interface to be started at the boot). Please give it a try and report the problems you find!" Download: movix2-0.3.1rc2.tar.gz (42.3MB). There are also links to articles on installing MoviX on USB pens and on configuring Irman remote in MoviX(2) on the projects' web site. Slideshow from LinuxBeta.com.

| About MoviX |
MoviX is a package that allows you to create bootable CDs able to boot & autoplay your multimedia files. It is intended mainly to play video files but if you want it can be used to play also audio files. I plan to release eventually a distro similar to MoviX but aimed at audio only, so stay tuned! The philosophy behind MoviX is to make possible to generate video/audio CDs that are self-sufficient, i.e. that you can play on every PC regardless of what is installed on it: just insert the MoviX CD inside a CD/DVD-ROM and boot the PC from there!
MoviX2 is a small Linux distro on CD aimed at playing multimedia: when you boot your PC with the MoviX2 CD the distro should be able to start X-Window and launch gmplayer, the GUI interface to mplayer, so that you are left with a nice user-friendly interface you can control by your mouse. At that point you can safely remove the MoviX2 CD and play all multimedia files you want: DVD [no zone constraint], VCD, DivX, avi, mpg, mp3, ogg etc. |
