VLC alternative?
|
Robert Kingett <kingettspeaks@...>
I am looking for an NVDA accessible player that can basically play as many file types as VLC as well as podcasts and internet radio. There are a lot of inaccessible elements about VLC so does anyone have an alternative?

VLC must have fallen a long way since I used it many years ago. back then I found it perfectly accessible. the main issue that I have with Windows media players in general is that they tend to be fraught with advertising. this is the reason why I abandoned Winamp for VLC and then abandoned VLC for the kmplayer and then abandoned playing media on Windows all together... I never tried it myself but I believe foobar2000 is also accessible. The very latest one I tried was the gone mad music player. this was billed as the very latest ad free thing in music for Windows. unfortunately it's accessibility left much to be desired.

Hi,
Mediaplayer classic home cinema (mpc-hc) is fully accessible and relatively easy to configure.

VLC with advertising? where? obviously on the download page, but VLC
doesn't have advertising in the program it self and the setup
installer is clean.

I've used Winamp for more than fifteen years and
had no problem with advertising. I don't know how you used it so there may
be some uses that you see advertising. But for playing files, there is
none. I see no reason to assume that VLC Player has declined. All we
know is that one person asked for alternatives. If that person knew
certain commands, such a request might not be made.
My impression, though I haven't looked into this
and it's just an impression, is that players of the type being discussed are not
intended to play a lot of Internet Radio. for that, you would probably be
much better off using something like Tapin Radio or with your browser, something
like Tunein.

I heard someone or some company bought
Winamp and is going to keep updating it. Haven't seen any updates
in over a year though but it keeps on playing all my audio files
and radio streams just fine.

You can find winamp, I think it is version 5.6 on the audio page of;
www.Jaws-users.com
lots of apps and utils on that website.

Several related things here. First of all, I think vlc uses a self contained set of codecs, so can actually play stuff other players may need external codecs for.

One recent issue I've had is a decent podcast downloader that is automated accessible and can get content from audioboom, which uses https streams, when most pocast receivers seem to balk at this but work well with the more normal http streams.

Yes, it’s winamp 5.66 Speaking of winamp. How does one make winamp the default player. I am using windows 7. 64 bit. I know you go to audible and do it that way. I did that. but when I go to play a file windows media player still comes up. I want winamp to play. I can’t remember the life of me how I got winamp to be default. I’m senile. Thanks. I know with this 7 box it gets windows media player stuck in its craw that it has to be default. When you try to get it to have winamp as default. With my past computer all I had to do was go to a radio station that used winamp. And it asked if you wanted winamp as default. I’d say yes then it stayed winamp. Same with windows media player. But this computer it seems to stay stuck on windows media player no matter what I do. I’ll have to uninstall and reinstall winamp hoping that does the trick. Sorry for the long message.

I would definitely use Winamp, Foobar2000 works nicely as well, but you have to do some configuration first.
